Abstract:In this paper, we modelled the Chinese pond mussel distribution in the European subcontinent under the recent climatic conditions and two climate change scenarios. Using species records of Sinanodonta woodiana (Bivalvia: Unionidae) in Europe and a set of bioclimatic variables, we applied the maximum entropy approach provided by MaxEnt to build the species distribution models and investigate how each climatic variable affects the species distribution. We found that winter temperatures had the largest contribut… Show more
