Species distribution model of Warmouth (Lepomis gulosus) at Point Pelee National Park / by M. McCusker. : Fs97-4/3143E-PDF
"Warmouth (Lepomis gulosus) has been assessed as ‘Endangered’ in Canada (COSEWIC 2015), although it is listed as ‘Special Concern’ under the Species at Risk Act. Species distribution modeling was conducted for Warmouth at Point Pelee National Park to map suitable habitat within the park for conservation planning. Species distribution modeling was conducted with machine learning using environmental layers (substrate, vegetation, depth, temperature, water quality) within a geographic information system. Warmouth is widespread in Point Pelee National Park and present in all seven of the major ponds. This model provided insight into the location of the most suitable habitat for Warmouth in the park and the environmental characteristics of that habitat. Results of the model indicated that Warmouth habitat at Point Pelee National Park is characterized by shallow water, abundant aquatic vegetation, low turbidity, low pH, high conductivity, and lack of clay substrate."--Abstract, p. iv.
