Ecological Niche Modelling

Ecological Niche Modelling (ENM) is an important tool for analysing species distributions and how they are affected by environmental factors. It is used to predict the potential distribution of a species and identify areas where conservation efforts could be targeted. ENM can also be used to study the potential impacts of climate change on species distributions. ENM has become increasingly important in biodiversity conservation and is used to identify suitable habitat, detect patterns of species richness, develop models of climate change and conservation planning. It can also be used to help inform species reintroductions, assess human impacts on species, and investigate connectivity among habitats. ENM is an important tool for understanding and conserving our ecosystems.
