Body size-dependent effects on the distribution patterns of phoretic mites of the multi-symbiont Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Olivier, 1790) host

This study examines how body size affects the distribution of phoretic mites on red palm weevils across different regions and body parts, finding that larger mites dominate and smaller ones coexist with them.

Towards risk-based surveillance of African Swine Fever in Switzerland

This study develops a risk-based method to map ASF introduction risk into domestic pigs via wild boar in Switzerland using environmental and hunting data.

rasterdiv - an Information Theory tailored R package for measuring ecosystem heterogeneity from space: to the origin and back

The paper introduces an R package called rasterdiv for measuring ecosystem heterogeneity using remotely sensed data and demonstrates its application in revealing hidden heterogeneity patterns.

Testing the ability of species distribution models to infer variable importance

This study evaluates how well species distribution models can identify and quantify the importance of environmental variables using simulations and permutation tests.
