Habitat suitability of subpopulations of Adansonia digitata L. in West Africa: Implications for conservation and domestication
Trees, Forests and People
For an adaptive policy to be effective, it is crucial to divide species populations into subpopulations, especially for species with diverse environmental conditions. In this study, occurrence data of Adansonia digitata L., a multipurpose tree species, were collected from the Global Biodiversity Inf…

Inhomogeneous Spatial Point Process Models for Species Distribution Analysis: A Systematic Review
Applications of Modelling and Simulation
This study aims to systematically review the application of inhomogeneous spatial point process models (ISPPMs) for species distribution analysis. The review focused on (i) the trend in the use of ISPPMs, (ii) the general characteristics of the studies reviewed, and (iii) the practice of inhomogeneo…

Climate change effects on desert date Balanites aegyptiaca (L.) Delile in Benin: Implications for conservation and domestication
Natural Resources Forum
Effectiveness of Balanites aegyptiaca conservation and sustainable exploitation requires a better knowledge of the intrinsic environmental factors linked with its current and future geographic distribution. This study aimed to map suitable areas for the conservation and domestication of B. aegyptiac…

An updated review of the African multipurpose tree species Detarium senegalense J.F.Gmel. (Fabaceae)
South African Journal of Botany
Detarium senegalense J.F.Gmel. is a woody legume tree species native of Africa. It holds a wide spectrum of medicinal, nutritional, socio-ecological, and economic benefits. However, the growing regional trade around its fruits makes it a threatened and priority species for conservation. The current …

The Afrotropical breeding grounds of the Palearctic-African migratory painted lady butterflies ( Vanessa cardui )
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
Migratory insects are key players in ecosystem functioning and services, but their spatiotemporal distributions are typically poorly known. Ecological niche modeling (ENM) may be used to predict species seasonal distributions, but the resulting hypotheses should eventually be validated by f…

Modeling current and future distribution patterns of Uvaria chamae in Benin (West Africa): Challenges and opportunities for its sustainable management…
Heliyon
Uvaria chamae is a wild shrub species widely used as a source for traditional medicine, food and fuel in West Africa. The species is threatened by uncontrolled harvesting of its roots for pharmaceutical applications and by the extension of agricultural land. This study assessed the role of environme…

Modelling the current and future distribution of Caesalpinia bonduc (L.) Roxb: Its implication for future conservation of the species in the Southern …
African Journal of Ecology
Caesalpinia bonduc (L.) Roxb, the most commercialised medicinal species in Southern Benin, is reported to be extinct in the wild due to anthropogenic pressures on its natural habitats. Remaining individuals can only be found in traditional agroforestry systems and home gardens. It is therefore impor…

Ecological niche model transferability of the white star apple (Chrysophyllum albidum G. Don) in the context of climate and global changes
Scientific Reports
Chrysophyllum albidum is a forest food tree species of the Sapotaceae family bearing large berries of nutrition, sanitary, and commercial value in many African countries. Because of its socioeconomic importance, C. albidum is threatened at least by human pressure. However, we do not know to what ext…
