This study uses ecological niche modeling  techniques to estimate dimensions of realized niches of coelacanths             and generate hypotheses for additional sites where they  might be found. Coelacanth occurrence information was integrated with             environmental and oceanographic data using the Genetic  Algorithm for Rule-set Production (GARP) and a maximum entropy algorithm             (Maxent). Resulting models were visualized as maps of  relative suitability of sites for coelacanths throughout the Indian             Ocean, as well as scatterplots of ecological variables. Our  findings suggest that the range of coelacanths could extend beyond             their presently known distribution and suggests alternative  mechanisms for currently observed distributions. Further investigation             into these hypotheses could aid in forming a more complete  picture of the distributions and populations of members of genus             &lt;i&gt;Latimeria&lt;/i&gt;, which in turn could aid in developing conservation strategies, particularly in the case of &lt;i&gt;L. menadoensis&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">577</style></section></record></records></xml>
