Fig 2

Habitat in the U.S. predicted (using MaxEnt species distribution modeling) to be environmentally suitable for the tropical lineage of Rhipicephalus sanguineus under current (2015–2019) climatic conditions, projected future (2021–2040) climatic conditions under the Shared Socioeconomic Pathway 1–2.6, and projected future (2021–2040) climatic conditions under the Shared Socioeconomic Pathway 5–8.5. Suitability is visualized as a heatmap and a binary probability threshold that represents the mean maximum true positive rate at the maximum true negative rate across all ten model iterations that were run for each scenario. Lytle Creek, California, the location of the most northern record of the tick, is indicated.
