Climatic variables determining Rhododendron sister taxa distributions and distributional overlaps in the Himalayas
Suwal, Madan Krishna; Vetaas, Ole Reidar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)Endemic species in mountains are vulnerable to rapid climate change. We elucidated distributional overlaps and related climatic variables for two endemic sister taxa of Rhododendron and a generalist with respect to current ... -
An Ensemble Model for Co-Seismic Landslide Susceptibility Using GIS and Random Forest Method
Shrestha, Suchita; Kang, Tae-Seob; Suwal, Madan Krishna (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-11-16)The Mw 7.8 Gorkha earthquake of 25 April 2015 triggered thousands of landslides in the central part of the Nepal Himalayas. The main goal of this study was to generate an ensemble-based map of co-seismic landslide ... -
Land-use change under a warming climate facilitated upslope expansion of Himalayan silver fir (Abies spectabilis (D. Don) Spach)
Suwal, Madan Krishna; Shrestha, Krishna Babu; Guragain, Laba; Shakya, Rabin; Shrestha, Kalpana; Bhuju, Dinesh Raj; Vetaas, Ole Reidar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-08)Global warming is triggering some species to shift towards the poles or higher elevations, but spatial translocation is also influenced by land-use regime or intensity. The Himalayan climate is getting warmer and land use ... -
A pan-Himalayan test of predictions on plant species richness based on primary production and water-energy dynamics
Bhatta, Kuber Prasad; Robson, Benjamin Aubrey; Suwal, Madan Krishna; Vetaas, Ole Reidar (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Spatial variation in plant species diversity is well-documented but an overarching first-principles theory for diversity variation is lacking. Chemical energy expressed as Net Primary Production (NPP) is related to a ... -
Parapatric subspecies of Macaca assamensis show a marginal overlap in their predicted potential distribution: Some elaborations for modern conservation management
Suwal, Madan Krishna; Huettmann, Falk; Regmi, Ganga Ram; Vetaas, Ole Reidar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-09-04)Phylogenetic niche conservatism implies that sister taxa will have similar niches, although the niches of disjunct subspecies may evolve differently. This study uses Macaca assamensis, subspecies assamensis and pelops, to ... -
Parapatric subspecies of Macaca assamensis show a marginal overlap in their predicted potential distribution: Some elaborations for modern conservation management
Suwal, Madan Krishna; Huettmann, Falk; Regmi, Ganga Ram; Vetaas, Ole Reidar (Data set, 2017)Phylogenetic niche conservatism implies that sister taxa will have similar niches, although the niches of disjunct subspecies may evolve differently. This study uses Macaca assamensis, subspecies assamensis and pelops, to ... -
Spatial dynamics of species distributions in an anthropogenic landscape in the context of climate change
Suwal, Madan Krishna (Doctoral thesis, 2018-06-08)Introduction: Climate change and land-use (intensity) change are factors that force biological organisms to change their geographical distributions. These two global drivers, both alone and in combination, have a large ...
