| using species distribution model to estimate the wintering population size of the endangered scaly-sided merganser in china. | scaly-sided merganser is a globally endangered species restricted to eastern asia. estimating its population is difficult and considerable gap exists between populations at its breeding grounds and wintering sites. in this study, we built a species distribution model (sdm) using maxent with presence-only data to predict the potential wintering habitat for scaly-sided merganser in china. area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (auc) method suggests high predictive power of the mode ... | 2015 | 25646969 |
