The Diversity Pattern of Two Endangered Dung Beetles in China Under the Influence of Climate Change
Comprehending the effects of climate change on the range of endangered species is essential for formulating successful conservation strategies. This research examines two nationally protected dung beetle species (Heliocopris dominus and Heliocopris bucephalus) in China to forecast their probable habitat range under present and future climate scenarios. Employing MaxEnt modeling with validated occurrence records and environmental variables, we discerned critical factors affecting their distribution and anticipated changes in habitat suitability. Results reveal that isothermality, temperature seasonality, maximum temperature of the warmest month, and annual precipitation are the principal environmental drivers. Presently, appropriate habitats are primarily located in southern Yunnan and Hainan, with future forecasts indicating a northward extension into additional areas. These findings offer critical insights for choosing conservation zones for these vulnerable species amid shifting climate conditions.
