Estimates of range size and accuracy of species distribution models in eastern China in different time periods. Occurrence point data were collected from six sources and verified (see Methods—Data). Model accuracy was measured by the TSS (see details in appendix SII). For the relative importance of variables to the Chinese pangolin, only the most important variable is shown (see details in electronic supplementary material, appendix SII). The ranges were determined as the total number of related pixels.

period	occurrences	TSS	relative importance	range (km2)	elevation (m)

1980s	561	0.657	elevation	104 093	699
1990s	322	0.712	elevation	92 271	716
