Fine-scale habitat suitability and connectivity analysis for the core populations of Yellow-spotted mountain pond-breeding newt (Neurergus derjugini) in the west of Iran and east of Iraq
Abstract:The evolutionary characteristics of amphibians, especially those more water-dependent, have faced the study of habitat connectivity the challenge of Movement Context (MC), a context for which water and moisture are an integral part. This fine-scale study was conducted to evaluate the distribution of N. derjugini and identify potential displacement paths between the population cores, using the physical elements of the landscape playing an MC role. The distribution modeling was performed by MaxEnt and the invers… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
