本文简要回顾了一些限制与现有的建模程序的保护生态学的应用,并介绍了一个新的程序(域),避免了这些问题。该程序基于范围标准化的点对点相似性度量计算潜在分布,并为植物和动物物种的潜在分布建模提供了一种简单,强大的方法。DOMAIN提供了优于类似方法的优点,因为它能够仅使用存在记录和有限数量的生物物理属性来有效地操作。使用连续的相似性函数给域增加的灵活性作为一种启发式工具,适用于调查设计,储备选择和潜在的稀有和常见物种的映射。潜在的分布计算了两个澳大利亚有袋类bettong种(Aepyprymnus rufescens 'Gray'和Bettongia tropica韦克菲尔德)使用域和两个替代模型。在这三个程序中,域模型产生的分布模式与已知的物种生态最一致,最适合调查设计。
This paper briefly reviews some limitations associated with the application of existing modelling procedures to conservation ecology, and describes a new procedure (DOMAIN) which avoids these problems. The procedure computes potential distributions based on a range-standardized, point-to-point similarity metric and provides a simple, robust method for modelling potential distributions of plant and animal species. DOMAIN offers advantages over similar methods in its ability to operate effectively using only presence records and a limited number of biophysical attributes. The use of a continuous similarity function gives DOMAIN increased flexibility as an heuristic tool, suitable for application in survey design, reserve selection and potential mapping of rare and common species. Potential distributions were computed for two Australian marsupial bettong species (Aepyprymnus rufescens 'Gray' and Bettongia tropica Wakefield) using DOMAIN and two alternative models. Of the three procedures, the DOMAIN model produced distribution patterns that were most consistent with the known ecology of the species, and most appropriate for survey design.
