“…Species distribution modeling (SDM) based on observed occurrences are good tools for predicting the potential distribution of exotic species including bees (e.g., Hinojosa-Díaz et al 2005, 2009, Gonzalez et al 2010, Silva et al 2014. Incorporating biotic interactions in these models, such as plant-bee relationships, is expected to have a major influence on the modeled distribution.…”

“…We georeferenced the localities using the point-radius method (Wieczorek et al 2004). The methods we used were described elsewhere in previous studies (i.e., Silva et al 2014aSilva et al , b, 2015Martins et al 2015). Briefly, we applied a principal components analysis to the 19 variables from Worldclim to generate 19 orthogonal principal components (PCs hereon; Table S1, supplementary material), from which we considered the first 4 (∼90 % of the original climatic variation) to predict the distribution for C. merrillae .…”

-Despite their relevance for the maintenance of terrestrial ecosystems, important aspects such as the biology and distribution range remain unknown for most species of bees that occur in the Neotropical region. This makes the monitoring of pollinators and the establishment of conservation policies difficult. In this paper, we provide information on the nesting biology and natural enemies of Centris merrillae . Additionally, we provide a potential distribution model based on previously unknown occurrence records that increase the distribution range of this species through northern South America and the Caribbean. The production of such biological and biogeographic information is important to support future field surveys.Centridini / Centris merrillae / distribution range / Neotropical region / solitary bee

“…Then, we used the first seven PCs in our modeling procedures for the predictions of D. brazili future distributions. The use of PCs (or any other collinearity reduction method) is advised to avoid model overfitting that may result in biologically unreliable species potential distributions (Jiménez-Valverde et al, 2011;Serra et al, 2012;Silva et al, 2014a).…”

“…By correlating the known records of a target species with their climatic data, SDM techniques allow projecting its Grinnellian niche (Peterson, 2001;Soberón, 2007) onto the geographic space, providing some support for practical conservation actions. These methods have been used to achieve a variety of objectives, such as: (i) to define the potential distribution of a given taxa, especially rare, threatened or invasive species (e.g., Martinelli and Moraes, 2013;Rödder et al, 2009;Silva et al, 2014a;Costa et al, 2015); (ii) to indicate suitable areas for future sampling (e.g. Marini et al, 2010); (iii) to test biogeographical and evolutionary hypotheses (Carnaval and Moritz, 2008;Stephens and Wiens, 2009;Porto et al, 2013;Silva et al, 2014b); (iv) to suggest the establishment of new conservation units (Diniz-Filho et al, 2004;Loyola et al, 2008;Nóbrega and De Marco Jr., 2011);and (v) to determine how species may respond to different climate change scenarios Sinervo et al, 2010).…”

Climate change may cause several biodiversity impacts in the near future, including shifts in the range of species, as well as local population declines. Distribution modeling tools have proven to be useful to predict areas with environmentally suitable conditions for numerous taxa, and predicting these changes in distribution are critically important for conservation. We assessed environmentally suitable areas for the snake Drymoluber brazili under current climate conditions and evaluated how future scenarios of climate change may affect habitat suitability for this species. Currently, there are suitable areas for the occurrence of this snake along the southeastern Cerrado and portions of the Atlantic Forest. Under future climate scenarios, predicted areas of occurrence tend to become more fragmented, but increase northeast and west from the areas of current distribution. Despite these predictions, the difficulties that D. brazili has to face in order to survive in human altered landscapes may cause a decrease in suitable areas as habitat destruction increases throughout this region. Our results suggest that D. brazili may be threatened in the Brazilian state of São Paulo, highlighting the urgency in reassessing the conservation status of this species.Keywords: Cerrado, climate change, habitat conservation, species distribution modeling, Squamata. ResumoMudanças climáticas podem causar diversos impactos na biodiversidade no futuro pró-ximo, incluindo alterações na distribuição de espécies, assim como declínios populacionais. Ferramentas de modelagem de distribuição têm se mostrado úteis para prever áreas com condições ambientalmente favoráveis para diversos táxons, sendo a previsão de tais mudanças na distribuição criticamente importante para a conservação. No presente trabalho, avaliamos áreas ambientalmente favoráveis para a serpente Drymoluber brazili sob condições climáticas atuais e testamos como cenários futuros de mudanças climáti-cas podem afetar a disponibilidade de habitat para essa espécie. Atualmente, há áreas favoráveis para a ocorrência dessa serpente ao longo do sudeste do Cerrado e porções da Mata Atlântica. Sob cenários climáticos futuros, as áreas previstas para presença da espécie tendem a se tornar mais fragmentadas, mas aumentam a nordeste e oeste da distribuição atual. Apesar dessas predições, a dificuldade de D. brazili em sobreviver em paisagens alteradas pela ação humana pode diminuir as áreas favoráveis, à medida que a destruição de habitat aumenta. Nossos resultados sugerem que D. brazili pode estar ameaçada no estado de São Paulo, ressaltando a urgência em reavaliar o estado de conservação dessa espécie.
