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…

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…

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 …

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…

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…

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…

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…
