Resumo(s)

The concerns related to climate changes have been gaining attention in the last few years due to the negative impacts on the environment, economy, and society. To better understand and anticipate the effects of climate changes in the distribution of species, several techniques have been adopted comprising models of different complexity. In general, these models apply algorithms and statistical methods capable of predicting in a particular study area, the locations considered suitable for a species to survive and reproduce, given a set of eco-geographical variables that influence species behavior. Logistic regression algorithm and Probability density function are two common methods that can be used to model the species suitability. The former is a representative of a class of models that requires the availability (or imputation) of presence-absence data whereas the latter represents the models that only require presence data. Both approaches are compared regarding the capability to accurately predict the environmental suitability for species. On a different way, the behaviour of the species in the projected environments are analysed by simulating its potential distribution in the projected environment. A case study reporting results from two types of species with economical interest is presented: the strawberry tree (Arbutus unedo) in mainland Portugal, and the Apis mellifera (African Lineage) in the Iberian Peninsula.
