Modeling of potential habitat suitability of Hippocamelus bisulcus: effectiveness of a protected areas network in Southern Patagonia
(Springer, 2017)
Introduction
Huemul (Hippocamelus bisulcus Molina) is the most threatened flag species of Southern Patagonia, where conservation efforts were not effective to avoid the retraction of its distribution area. Habitat quality ...
Habitat suitability models for the sand lizard Liolaemus wiegmannii based on landscape characteristics in temperate coastal dunes in Argentina
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2016-09)
The knowledge of environmental variables associated with the species occurrence allows the recognition of sites which fulfil ecological requirements eventually used for conservation of species. The coastal dunes of Argentina ...

Remote sensing variables as predictors of habitat suitability of the vizcacha rat (Octomys mimax), a rock-dwelling mammal living in a desert environment
(Springer, 2015-04)
Identifying high-quality habitats across large areas is a central goal in biodiversity conservation. Remotely sensed data provide the opportunity to study different habitat characteristics (e.g., landscape topography, soil, ...
Potential biodiversity map of lizard species in Southern Patagonia: Environmental characterization, desertification influence and analyses of protection areas
(Brill Academic Publishers, 2018-11)
The distribution of biodiversity at the landscape level is shaped by biotic, abiotic and anthropogenic factors. Biodiversity maps provide the basis for defining management and conservation strategies that can minimize human ...
Setting priority conservation management regions to reverse rapid range decline of a key neotropical forest ungulate
(2021-11-01)
Mammals are important components of biodiversity that have been drastically and rapidly impacted by climate change, habitat loss, and anthropogenic pressure. Understanding key species distribution to optimize conservation ...
Conflict between the Greater Rhea and humans in agricultural landscapes: Implications for conservation of the last large herbivore of the southern Pampas
(Csiro Publishing, 2015-04)
South-eastern South America (SESA) hosts populations of a number of large herbivores, such as the Greater Rhea (Rhea americana). However, the natural grasslands of SESA have been subject to major transformation through ...
Land-use changes and the expansion of biofuel crops threaten the giant anteater in southeastern Brazil
(2019-04-01)
Land-use changes impact biodiversity, and biofuel crop production and its expansion pose as an important driver of negative effects in the tropics. Understanding the influence of land-use changes on suitable habitats for ...
Potential biodiversity map of darkling beetles (Tenebrionidae): environmental characterization, land-uses and analyses of protection areas in Southern Patagonia
(Springer, 2019-07)
Different methodologies had been developed for species management and conservation based on modelling of potential biodiversity at regional scales. However, most of these models were fitted for umbrella species (e.g. big ...
