WHO (pink shaded area) and GARD (red dotted outlines) distribution estimates, and known occurrences (red dots) for medically relevant snake species of conservation concern (IUCN 2020) from category 1 Echis jogeri [A; data deficient] and Bungarus slowinskii [C & E; vulnerable] and category 2 Pseudechis papuanus [B; data deficient] and Mixcoatlus barbouri [D & F; endangered], showcasing how snakes often have limited distribution data and varying distribution estimates. ENMs for B. slowinski (E) and M. barbouri F) improve distribution estimates (blue = more suitable; data for models was combined with closely related, ecologically similar sister species B. bungaroides and M. browni, respectively, to achieve minimum data requirements for models). Note that suitable habitat may be unreachable by a species or may be occupied by closely related or competing taxa. Background in A-D shows mean vegetation greenness (fraction photosynthetic active radiation; https://land.copernicus.eu/global/products/fapar) with greener shown as darker shades of grey.
