potential distributions through Ecological Niche Modelling (ENM). Here, we address for the first time the study of the distribution of a critically endangered lizard, the Añelo Sand Dunes Lizard (Liolaemus cuyumhue). We surveyed probable habitats of L. cuyumhue, estimated an index of population density in three areas where the

accurate, informative ENM comparisons that can shed light on whether niche divergence can be an important factor contributing to genetic isolation between phylogeographic lineages. In this study, we investigate the factors driving patterns of phylo ‐ geographic divergence in silky anoles based on large restriction site‐

Apr 4, 2018 · Here, we focus on how physiological evolution affects performance and species coexistence along the thermal niche axis in replicated radiations of Anolis lizards best known for resource partitioning based on morphological divergence.

Jul 1, 2006 · Recent advances in ecological niche modeling (ENM) algorithms, in conjunction with increasing availability of geographic information system (GIS) data, allow species' niches to be predicted over broa...

Jun 1, 2010 · We present software that facilitates quantitative comparisons of environmental niche models (ENMs). Our software quantifies similarity of ENMs generated using the program Maxent and uses...

Oct 1, 2018 · The integration of phylogeny and ENM in this study confirms the development of distinct cryptic species and suggests that the Hyrcanian Forests, a well-known Pleistocene refugium, might contain multiple cryptic refugia for small forest-dwelling species during paleontological oscillations.

Recent advances in ecological niche modeling (ENM) algorithms, in conjunction with increasing availability of geographic information system (GIS) data, allow species’ niches to be predicted over broad geographic areas using environmental characteristics

Oct 25, 2018 · We used ecological niche modeling -ENM- to predict species’ distributions across all Caribbean islands for each species with at least 10 occurrence records. We estimated the position of each pixel predicted as presence in the ecological space using Euclidean distances.

We describe recent lizard studies that have contributed to advances in understanding of several aspects of phylogeography, emphasize some linkages between phylogeography and speciation and suggest ways to expand phylogeographic studies to …

Constructing niche models and analyzing patterns of niche evolution. Acts as an interface for many popular modeling algorithms, and allows users to conduct Monte Carlo tests to address basic questions in evolutionary ecology and biogeography.
