SDMapCH (v1.3) (a) mean habitat suitability and (b) coefficient of variation maps for major taxonomic groups for current and future (2070–2099) periods under the low (RCP4.5) and high (RCP8.5) greenhouse gas scenarios. For each taxonomic group, mean values were rescaled to a 0–100 range for data storage purposes and improved readability, and coefficient of variation values were capped at 1,000 for readability. Arthropods*: aquatic arthropods including Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, Trichoptera, and Odonata (EPTO). Arthropods**: All other arthropods excluding EPTO. Number of modelled species per group: amphibians (18), arthropods (2,285, including 296 EPTO) breeding birds (179), ferns and mosses (591), fishes (37), fungi and lichens (1,713), mammals (83), molluscs (168), reptiles (15), and vascular plants (2,410). For the use and validation of aggregated habitat suitability maps, please note: (i) The habitat suitability maps were primarily developed for research purposes and must be validated for case-specific conservation purposes; (ii) The maps represent aggregations of taxonomic groups for which species were not validated individually; therefore, interpretation should be complemented with additional taxonomic or faunistic expertise; (iii) The results of these models were not systematically validated by InfoSpecies; (iv) The maps should not be used directly for practical applications or management decisions without consultation with experts in the relevant taxonomic groups.
