TI  - Current and future potential habitat suitability prediction of an endemic freshwater fish species Seminemacheilus lendlii (Hankó, 1925) using Maximum Entropy Modelling (MaxEnt) under climate change scenarios: implications for conservation
AB  - Climate change is one of the important phenomena of the century. Speciesdistribution models have become very popular in recent years for conservationplanning. When making management and conservation plans for a species, it isessential to know the current and future distributions. Expected temperature andprecipitation changes will significantly affect the distribution areas of the species.These changes may result in habitat losses for some species and habitat expansionfor others. This study, which current and future distribution area ofSeminemacheilus lendlii, occurred in a very narrow area in Turkey, which iscategorized as ‘Vulnerable’ by the International Union for Conservation of Nature(IUCN) was explored. Bioclimatic variables (Bio 1-19) were applied to determinethe habitat suitability of S. lendlii under a current and a future (CCSM4, RCP’s2.6, 4.5, and 8.5 2070) scenario using MaxEnt software. The most influentialvariables were respectively bio_15, bio_14, bio_8, bio_4, bio_3, and theenvironmental variable that decreases the gain the most when it is omitted wasthe precipitation seasonality (Coefficient of Variation) (bio_15). S. lendlii is asensitive species, with a not endurance to environmental stress. As a result of themodeling, it has been observed that there will be a significant decrease in thesuitable habitats until 2070.
