Abstract:Objective: To determine the potential distribution of the monk parakeet (Myiopsitta monachus) in Mexico.
Design/methodology/approach: The study generated the model with confirmed presences of the species, the MaxEnt algorithm, and bioclimatic and elevation information. The evaluation, calibration and selection were carried out with the kuenm package in R. The model generated was projected to the geographic space of Mexico.
Results: The model estimated the most favorable areas for the species in Mexico, based o… Show more
