Abstract:Obtaining reliable predictions of future species distributions under global change scenarios is fundamental for identifying priority conservation sites. This requires incorporating the main drivers of distribution shifts into the modeling process. Climate change and land use change are the two primary drivers of species distributions, yet they have been considered differently in studies exploring future scenarios. Most studies focus solely on bioclimatic variables, given that climate is a major determinant of … Show more
