Potential ecological niche model of <i>Tapirus pinchaque</i> in two future scenarios of climate change based on the Global Climate Models of ACCESS 1.0.

<p>Potential ecological niche model for the year 2050, under (A) RCP 4.5 (optimistic) and (B) RCP 8.5 (pessimistic) climatic change scenarios. Numbers correspond to those referred to for Protected Areas estimation in <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0121137#pone.0121137.g001" target="_blank">Fig. 1</a>. Note a reduction (~22–38%, in red) of the best-predicted potential distribution model (FOV10 threshold). In both scenarios, suitability areas for <i>Tapirus pinchaque</i> tend to critically reduce, especially in the southern regions. Shifts are depicted from their centroids in the ecological niche-space.
