Modeling Rare Species Distribution at the Edge: The Case for the Vulnerable Endemic Pyrenean Desman in France
Figure 1
Superposed known distribution (Presence only—orange dots) of Galemys pyrenaicus and environmental favourability map (favourability values ranging from 0 to 1) for the French part of the species range as given by the 3 models chosen (selected variables and coefficients in Table 1): (a) Transferred environmental favourability model described by Barbosa et al. [1] under the name “Spanish model” and corrected for SRad range error (see erratum by Barbosa et al. [2]). (b) newly proposed model (French model without “Latitude”). (c) newly proposed model (French model with “Latitude”).
