Fig 5. Projected current and future potential range for the White-tailed Swallow, based on climate-only SDMs.
Predictions for the four IPCC RCPs are presented in two future dates, 2050 and 2070. Each panel represents the mean probability of occurrence under each scenario, averaged across six GCMs and the three best-performing model algorithms (MaxEnt, GLM and GAM) under current conditions, according to k-fold LOOCV AUC. Dark green shows areas with a high probability of climatic suitability, fading through brown to grey, which shows areas with a low probability of climatic suitability. The blue polygon shows convex hulls fitted around the White-tailed Swallow’s current distributions in the core range and on the Liben Plain, whilst the dashed line shows the complete hull if these two populations are considered to be continuous. International borders are plotted using the ‘wrld_simpl’ dataset available in the ‘maptools’ package in R [47, 48].
