The reliability and accuracy of WRA in discriminating between invaders and non-invaders was independently assessed using field data on species demography and distribution.
The data base includes building age, size, location, number of stories, and structural typology, as well as population demography and distribution, the history of earthquakes in the region, and potential soil amplification, landslide, and liquefaction susceptibility.
In these plots, the number, diversity, demography, and distribution of species can be quantified and important functional traits and demographic changes can be measured and compared among species and habitats.
Considering the different habitat preferences of R. marina and R. schneideri, it is possible that strong environmental changes after the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) in South America [ 26] may have impacted dramatically their demography and distribution ranges, with consequences on the evolutionary trajectories of both taxa.
However, a consistent change in the thermal environment to which species are exposed may have an effect on other characteristics such as body size, the number of generations present per year and fecundity [49], [50], and ultimately to changes in demography and distributions [9], [26].
Demography and case distribution were similar in both groups.
Twelve variables were considered, related to the distribution, demography, ecological adaptability, and their endemism and taxonomic diversification.
The consequences of dispersal on mites' demography and spatial distribution have been investigated in several studies on tetranychids.
Although the mechanisms explaining the presence of crocodiles in the Sahara are well understood (e.g.[10]), in reality there is paucity of knowledge about distribution, demography, ecology, and conservation status of populations.
Past climate changes have had dramatic impact on the geographic distribution, demography, and thus the evolution of species.
