| Popis: | The declining trend of the population of certain marine organisms may be due to lack of management where juveniles are being caught and grown out. In the Philippines, among the marine species affected by this practice is the Plectropomus leopardus, locally known as Lapu-Lapu. Identifying the factors that contribute to the persistence of Lapu-Lapu would be a great help in the thrust of protecting threatened species in the Philippines. Niche Modeling has been widely used in determining the distributions of species and its suitable habitat based on the environmental conditions in which species populations could be maintained. Thus, modeling techniques that require presence-only data such as Maximum Entropy Models (Maxent) have been widely used to predict habitat distributions. This system aims to predict the current and future potential population distribution of the Lapu-Lapu species, using Maxent modelling. PiLNiMo is an application designed to predict the population distribution of Plectropomus leopardus based on the mean sea level pressure, mean temperature, and thunderstorm occurrence. |
