Improving geographic range estimates for parapatric species using species distribution models and support vector machines: an implementation for spiny pocket mice in south america

Abstract

For working land resource managers and conservation professionals, conferences are a great way to keep up to date on the latest science, network with colleagues, and find new inspiration for tackling the most difficult of conservation challenges. Few conferences bring together as many conservation professionals as The Wildlife Society’s (TWS) annual conference. This year, it will be even bigger because TWS is partnering with the American Fisheries Society (AFS) to jointly host the 2019 conference from September 29 to October 3 in Reno, Nevada.
