They facilitate maintenance of ecological structure and function as well as provide connectivity to faunal populations supporting genetic transfers, and are elements critical to wildlife management. In this work, habitat patches for tiger, both inside as well as outside of Protected Areas have been identified by developing a Habitat Suitability Index model utilizing Remote Sensing and Geographical Information System datasets for the Terai Arc landscape, India. By using a computational approach based on the framework of theory of complex networks, for exclusively pairwise interactions between the habitat patches, a potential tiger corridor network has been structurally identified and studied in this landscape. The interactions between these habitat patches on a spatial scale has been analyzed as a clique of the corridor network. Further, the Clique Percolation Method has been applied to detect overlapping communities of habitat patches in the landscape. The Cliques required for maintaining contiguity between the habitat patches in order to support tiger movement are validated using field observations of tiger communities within the landscape matrix. The model developed for identification of tiger corridors in this study could potentially be of a vital importance for wildlife stakeholders to better understand and manage tiger populations both within and outside of protected areas. The study also highlights Critical Habitat Patches and their importance in maintaining landscape connectivity for tiger dispersal in the landscape. Using a report published by the Government of India as a benchmark, the model presented in the work is found to have an accuracy of 90.73% in predicting tiger carrying patches and the corridor network in the focal landscape.

Bayesian networks (BNs) are used to model barrier island change under different SLR scenarios that are relevant to management and policy decisions. BNs utilized here include a shoreline change model and two models of barrier island biogeomorphological evolution at different scales (50 and 5 m). These BNs were then linked to another BN to predict habitat availability for piping plovers (Charadrius melodus), a threatened shorebird reliant on beach habitats. We evaluated the performance of the two linked geomorphology BNs and further examined error rates by generating hindcasts of barrier island geomorphology and habitat availability for 2014 conditions. Geomorphology hindcasts revealed that model error declined with a greater number of known inputs, with error rates reaching 55% when multiple outputs were hindcast simultaneously. We also found that, although error in predictions of piping plover nest presence/absence increased when outputs from the geomorphology BNs were used as inputs in the piping plover habitat BN, the maximum error rate for piping plover habitat suitability in the fully-linked BNs was only 30%. Our findings suggest this approach may be useful for guiding scenario-based evaluations where known inputs can be used to constrain variables that produce higher uncertainty for morphological predictions. Overall, the approach demonstrates a way to assimilate data and model structures with uncertainty to produce forecasts to inform coastal planning and management.

The European turtle dove is one of the farmland birds that has declined markedly in Europe, leading the IUCN to downgrade its status in 2015 from “Near Threatened” to “Vulnerable”. Knowledge of how habitat factors and agricultural practices influence the turtle dove population is crucial for the conservation of this species through the implementation of targeted measures. Here we investigate how foraging and nesting habitats influence the abundance of turtle doves at national and regional scales, using a 23-year dataset from point counts carried out throughout France, a stronghold country for this species during the breeding season. We found that turtle dove abondance was positively affected by fallow lands, both at national and regional scales. Turtle dove abundance was also negatively affected by fodder crop area at national scale, but the effect was detected in only four of the 13 French regions. We also showed that an increase in hedgerows length had a positive effect on turtle dove abundance. On the other hand, forest edges length showed a bell-shaped trend, suggesting that an increase in forest edges length may have a favourable effect on turtle dove abundance only up to a given threshold. We suggest that targeted conservation measures combining an increase in fallow lands and hedgerows length could allow the stabilisation or even an increase in turtle dove abundance in France, but also in European countries with similar landscapes.

However, the direct impacts of canopy disturbance on the arboreal movement of individual primates have been less studied. Such impacts could shed light on the cascading effects of disturbances on animal health and fitness. Orangutans are an arboreal primate that commonly encounters habitat quality deterioration due to land-use changes and related disturbances such as forest fires. Forest disturbance may, therefore, create a complex stress scenario threatening orangutan populations. Due to forest disturbances, orangutans may adapt to employ more terrestrial, as opposed to arboreal, movements potentially prolonging the search for fruiting and nesting trees. In turn, this may lead to changes in daily activity patterns (i.e., time spent traveling, feeding, and resting) and available energy budget, potentially decreasing the orangutan's fitness. We developed the agent-based simulation model BORNEO (arBOReal aNimal movEment mOdel), which explicitly describes both orangutans' arboreal and terrestrial movement in a forest habitat, depending on distances between trees and canopy structures. Orangutans in the model perform activities with a motivation to balance energy intake and expenditure through locomotion. We tested the model using forest inventory data obtained in Sebangau National Park, Central Kalimantan, Indonesia. This allowed us to construct virtual forests with real characteristics including tree connectivity, thus creating the potential to expand the environmental settings for simulation experiments. In order to parameterize the energy related processes of the orangutans described in the model, we applied a computationally intensive evolutionary algorithm and evaluated the simulation results against observed behavioral patterns of orangutans. Both the simulated variability and proportion of activity budgets including feeding, resting, and traveling time for female and male orangutans confirmed the suitability of the model for its purpose. We used the calibrated model to compare the activity patterns and energy budgets of orangutans in both natural and disturbed forests . The results confirm field observations that orangutans in the disturbed forest are more likely to experience deficit energy balance due to traveling to the detriment of feeding time. Such imbalance is more pronounced in males than in females. The finding of a threshold of forest disturbances that affects a significant change in activity and energy budgets suggests potential threats to the orangutan population. Our study introduces the first agent-based model describing the arboreal movement of primates that can serve as a tool to investigate the direct impact of forest changes and disturbances on the behavior of species such as orangutans. Moreover, it demonstrates the suitability of high-performance computing to optimize the calibration of complex agent-based models describing animal behavior at a fine spatio-temporal scale (1-m and 1-s granularity).

Mainstreaming remotely sensed ecosystem functioning in ecological niche models / Adrián Regos in Remote sensing in ecology and conservation, vol 8 n° 4 (August 2022)  

Public [article]  inRemote sensing in ecology and conservation > vol 8 n° 4 (August 2022) . - pp 431 - 447 Titre : Mainstreaming remotely sensed ecosystem functioning in ecological niche models Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Adrián Regos, Auteur ; João Gonçalves, Auteur ; Salvador Arenas-Castro, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2022 Article en page(s) : pp 431 - 447 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Applications de télédétection [Termes IGN] carbone [Termes IGN] écologie forestière [Termes IGN] écosystème forestier [Termes IGN] habitat animal [Termes IGN] image Aqua-MODIS [Termes IGN] image Terra-MODIS [Termes IGN] indice de végétation [Termes IGN] niche écologique Résumé : (auteur) Biodiversity is declining globally at unprecedented rates. Ecological niche mod-els (ENMs) are one of the most widely used toolsets to appraise global changeimpacts on biodiversity. Here, we identify a variety of advantages of incorporat-ing remotely sensed ecosystem functioning attributes (EFAs) into ENMs. Thedevelopment of ENMs that explicitly incorporate ecosystem functioning willallow a more holistic and integrative perspective of the habitat dynamics. Thesynergies between the increasingly available open-access satellite images andcloud-based platforms for planetary-scale geospatial analysis offer an unprece-dented opportunity to incorporate ecosystem processes and disturbances (suchas fires, insect outbreaks or droughts) that have been so far largely neglected inecological niche characterization and modelling. The most paradigmatic exam-ple of EFAs is the application of time series of spectral vegetation indicesrelated to primary productivity and carbon cycle. EFAs related to surface energybalance and water cycles derived from remote sensing products such as landsurface temperature or soil moisture enable a fine-scale characterization of thespecies’ niche—eventually improving the predictive performance of ENMs. Allthese advantages confirm that a new generation of ENMs based on such EFAswould offer great perspectives to increase our ability to monitor habitat suit-ability trends and population dynamics. However, despite the technicaladvances and increasing effort of remote sensing community to develop inte-grative EFAs, ENMs have yet to make full profit of the most recent develop-ments by integrating them in ENMs. A coordinated agenda for remote sensingexperts and ecological modellers will be essential over the coming years tobridge the gap between remote sensing and ecology disciplines and to take full(and timely) advantage of the fast-growing body of Earth observation data andremote sensing technologies—with special emphasis on the development andtesting of new variables related to key processes driving ecosystem functioning.
