The Common

In this study, we used a ecological niche modeling approach to detect the importance of diverse climatic parameters in controlling the distribution of forest tree species, exemplified by the common hornbeam (Carpinus betulus L.), with special reference to Ukraine from where digitized data on the species has been scarce. In Ukraine populations of this tree species are found on the edge of its home range and are exposed to extreme climate conditions. The main objectives of the present study were to model the European-wide ecological niche of the common hornbeam and investigate primary climatic factors that control the potential distribution of this tree in Ukraine. Using an ecological niche modeling approach, we consider having reliably modeled the European-wide bioclimatic niche of the common hornbeam for predicting the response of species geographical distribution to climate. Most contributing to the model was the mean monthly PET (potential evapotranspiration) of the coldest quarter, continentality and annual PET. In terms of the Most Limiting Factor, in Ukraine continentality is crucial throughout the majority of the country.

Ecological niche modeling of Triatominae bugs allow us to establish the local risk of transmission of the parasiteTrypanosoma cruzi,which causes Chagas disease.This information could help to guide health authority recommendations on infection monitoring, prevention, and control. In this study, we estimated the geographic distribution of triatomine species in Colombia and identified the relationship between landscape structure and climatic factors influencing their occurrence. A total of 2451 records of 4 triatomine species (Panstrongylus geniculatus,Rhodnius pallescens,R. prolixus, andTriatoma maculata) were analyzed.The variables that provided more information to explain the ecologic niche of these vectors were related to precipitation, altitude, and temperature. We found that the species with the broadest potential geographic distribution wereP. geniculatus,R. pallescens, andR. prolixus. In general, the models predicted the highest occurrence probability of these vectors in the eastern slope of the Eastern Cordillera, the southern region of the Magdalena valley, and the Sierra Nevada of Santa Marta.
