Fig 5. The most limiting factors for the potential distribution of Ae. albopictus based on model 2 under consideration of mean temperature in January, mean temperature in summer, photoperiod, precipitation in spring and precipitation in summer under current and projected future climatic conditions according to the IPCC AR5 data GCM: CSIRO.

For any point, the limiting factor is the variable whose value influences the model prediction the most. Geographical projection: Europe Albers Equal Area Conic. Maps were built using ESRI ArcGIS.
