To predict the distribution of suitable environmental conditions (SEC) for eight African great ape taxa for a first time period, the 1990s and then project it to a second time period, the 2000s; to assess the relative importance of factors influencing SEC distribution and to estimate rates of SEC loss, isolation and fragmentation over the last two decades.

Climate change challenges the current conservation strategy for the giant panda. (2015, background): “For instance, for African great apes suitable environmental conditions across the continent-wide African have dramatically declined in recent years, and the loss was caused mainly by patch size reduction (Junker et al., 2012).”
Comparing species distribution models constructed with different subsets of environmental predictors (2015, background): “Land cover and human influence are commonly believed to influence species ranges, and have been often been included in SDMs (e.g. Pearson et al., 2004; Blach-Overgaard et al., 2010; Junker et al., 2012).”
Species distribution models in conservation biogeography: developments and challenges (2013, background): “(Junker et al., 2012) 2 Application conservation: changes in human impacts variables predict changes in suitable habitat”
