High‑resolution species distribution modelling reveals spatio‑temporal variabil...
Crispim, Tiago; Valerio, Francesco; Marques, Ana Teresa; Pita, Ricardo; Godinho, Sérgio; Silva, João PauloContext Species distribution models (SDMs) may provide accurate predictions of species occurrence across space and time, being critical for effective con servation planning. Objectives Focusing on the little bustard (Tetrax tetrax), an endangered grassland bird, we aimed to: (i) characterise the drivers of the species distribution along its key phenological phases (winter, breeding, and post-breeding); and (ii)...
Patch spatial attributes and time to disturbance affect the emergence of source...
Crispim, Tiago; Roos, Deon; Ferreira, Clara; Paupério, Joana; Silva, João Paulo; Godinho, Sérgio; Alves, Paulo Célio; Mira, António; Beja, PedroUnderstanding the demography of local populations within ephemeral habitat patches is crucial for effective local (site-based) conservation management in spatially and temporally heterogeneous environments. Evidence suggests that species persisting in networks of ephemeral patches often exhibit source-sink dynamics, where certain local populations act as temporary sources at some time between initial colonizati...
