This study uses ecological niche modeling to analyze spatiotemporal dynamics of questing activity for four tick species in the central Great Plains, showing seasonal patterns and species-specific geographic potential.

This study assesses the climatic suitability and invasion risk of the elm zigzag sawfly in North America, finding it could establish in eastern Canada and parts of the U.S. but not in southern regions.

This paper introduces XSDM, a new species distribution model that incorporates climate variability, showing it reduces species potential distributions by 22% on average and outperforms traditional models.

This study models the spatiotemporal dynamics of Amblyomma americanum questing activity using longitudinal sampling, randomization tests, and presence-absence modeling to improve understanding of tick-borne disease risk.

The paper assesses variability in ecological niche model predictions and provides tools to quantify and represent this variability in geographic space.
