Physiologically based toxicokinetic (PBTK) modeling offers great promise in environmental risk assessment, potentially speeding up dose-response studies while minimizing animal testing. Some limitations exist in the PBTK field, such as difficulty of model development and a lack of application specific software tools to help modelers. Some parameters used in PBTK models, such as tissue weights, are easily measure.

Niche Analyst (NicheA) was developed based on the BAM framework which allows users to create virtual spaces and virtual species, and to analyze ecological niches in both multivariate environmental and geographic spaces, linking views of the niche in the two spaces. The unique functionality in NicheA, not available in other software programs, is estimating Grinnellian niches of species based on environmental variables and occurrence records, but with a clear focus on fundamental ecological niches. NicheA can display ecological niches; calculate their shape, density, location, and other attributes; and quantify similarity among multiple niches.
