Emilie Roy-Dufresne: A Multi-Scale Analysis of the White-Footed Mouse’s Distribution Using MaxEnt Species Distribution Model
Abstract: Issues of modeling species geographic distributions are critical factors which need to be studied in conservation biology. One of these issues is the appropriate spatial scale at which studies need to be conducted. The identification of spatial patterns depends on the spatial scale at which patterns are measured. Ecologists face the issue that interpreting the data based on one scale, and to apply them to another scale may not accurately describe the existing pattern but instead reflect artefacts of the scale of measurement.
