Initial model parameters were developed from existing literature, expert opinion and on-site ecological observations as few baseline data were available for the recently opened site.
Thus, relevant studies are most fruitful when carried out using species for which ample ecological, behavioral, genetic and phylogeographic data are available.
The use of species sensitivity distributions (SSDs) is not mentioned among the criteria for PBT categorization even if it is recognized as a powerful tool for ecological risk assessment, where sufficient reliable data are available [94].
When access to data is limited to ecological data, and no individual-level data is available, it may not be possible to differentiate between contextual and compositional effects [ 36].
To the best of our knowledge, no study to date has validated such antibacterial prophylaxis strategies in ICU settings, and no data are available to assess ecological risk with regard to bacterial resistance.
Extensive computational and database tools are available to mine genomic and genetic databases for model organisms, but little genomic data is available for many species of ecological or agricultural significance, especially those with large genomes.
However, when species observation data are available, ENM can provide accurate forecasts of a species' ecological niche based on the environmental characteristics of known species locations.
It may be that variations in symbiont association could also be involved in the ecological partitioning of individual genetic types within morphospecies, driving their diversification, though little data is available at present.
Ecological niche modelling has been championed in recent years to provide good estimates of species' geographic ranges despite limited survey data being available [15], [21], [22].
