“…En Maxent se incorporaron las variables bioclimáticas a resolución aprox. de 1 km 2 (Hijmans et al, 2005), se seleccionaron las que tienen importancia biológica para la especie, por ejemplo la distribución del zorro andino se ha relacionado con la temperatura media de las mínimas del mes más frío e indirectamente con la precipitación media anual (disponibilidad y cantidad de agua en humedales), debido a que usa a los humedales como sitios de caza (Cuyckens et al, 2015). Además se incluyeron las variables con los mayores porcentajes de contribución obtenidos de una prueba de "Jackknife" de un ensayo inicial en Maxent y aquellas con la menor multicolinealidad.…”

“…Climate change is expected to intensely affect these landcover categories because it will disrupt the extreme weather conditions that regulate the ecological processes and species distributions occurring there. Contraction of the sparse vegetation and mosaics characteristic of the Atacama Desert and Andes could exacerbate the isolation of the specialist species of those habitats, such as the Andean cat ( Leopardus jacobita ), the most threatened felid of the Americas [ 74 , 75 ]. This process of habitat contraction can engender a habitat island effect, with progressive reductions ultimately leading to extirpation, giving no options to species for dispersal, which could drive species extinction and/or alter evolutionary processes and patterns.…”

“…The species also inhabit in a wide variety of natural (deciduous and coniferous forests, scrublands) and human-associated habitats (agricultural areas, cultivated fields, near to villages) [ 34 , 40 ]. Additionally, most of these variables have been previously used in other studies about carnivore distribution or habitat use (e.g., %urban_areas, in [ 51 ]; %forest_areas, %artificial_areas, %forest_coniferous, %forest_deciduous, in [ 52 ]; clim_bio1, clim_bio7, clim_bio12, clim_bio15, altimetry, slope and aspect, in [ 53 ]). Variables are described and their source provided in Table 1 .…”
