TitleFuture climate change will severely reduce habitat suitability of the Critically Endangered Chinese giant salamander
AbstractBeing the largest extant amphibian in the world, the IUCN Critically Endangered Chinese giant salamander Andrias davidianus is a charismatic species with great international public interest. While threats such as commercial overexploitation and habitat degradation have been extensively documented to affect natural populations of A. davidianus, still no information is available about the species sensitivity to climate change.

While threats such as commercial overexploitation and habitat degradation have been extensively documented to affect natural populations of A. davidianus, still no information is available about the species sensitivity to climate change. Here, we develop an ensemble of species distribution models SDMs for A. davidianus and projected its habitat suitability under present day and future climate change scenarios. We based our SDMs on bioclimatic and topographic predictors, and recent 2012 2018 field collected occurrence data across the whole distribution range of the species.
