Local niche differences predict genotype associations in sister taxa of desert tortoise

Abstract: Aims To investigate spatial congruence between ecological niches and genotype in two allopatric species of desert tortoise that are species of conservation concern. Location Mojave and Sonoran Desert ecoregions; California, Nevada, Arizona, Utah, USA. Methods We compare ecological niches of Gopherus agassizii and Gopherus morafkai using species distribution modelling (SDM) and then calibrate a pooled‐taxa distribution model to explore local differences in species–environment relationships based on the spatial … Show more

“…Ecological niche modelling is widely used to characterize and compare species' realized niches (i.e., the portions of fundamental niches currently occupied) and to make predictions about species distributions in regions that are incompletely surveyed or in the future based on climate change projections (Ahmadi et al, 2018;Boys et al, 2021;Buermann et al, 2008;Guisan et al, 2013;Inman et al, 2019;Melo-Merino et al, 2020;Novella-Fernandez et al, 2021;Pearson & Dawson, 2003;Peterson & Holt, 2003). While the focus of such studies is usually on geographic space, ecological niche models (ENMs) can also be used to make inferences about niche differentiation (Ahmadi et al, 2018;Evans & Jacquemyn, 2022;Warren et al, 2019Warren et al, , 2021.…”
