Geographic isolation and climatic heterogeneity shape the genetic diversity of Blarinellini (Eulipotyphla: Soricidae) in the Hengduan Mountains

Figure 7.

Ecological niche model and climatic stability analyses for Blarinella quadraticauda and B. wardi. A–D Predicted habitat suitability and climatic stability for B. quadraticauda: A present (1970–2000), B Last Glacial Maximum (LGM; ~22 ka), C Last Interglacial (LIG; ~130 ka), and D long-term climatic stability. E–H Predicted habitat suitability and climatic stability for B. wardi: E present, F LGM, G LIG, and H long-term climatic stability. Habitat suitability values range from 0 to 1, with warmer colors indicating higher suitability. White dots show occurrence records of Blarinellini used in this study.
