Figure 6
Ecoclimatic niche modelling for P. bracteatum. Black dots indicate the occurrence records, covering the entire distribution of the species, that were used as input for the niche models. The scale for habitat suitability is provided to the right. The niche models concur very well with the actual distribution of the species in northeastern Turkey and Iran. For southeastern Turkey and parts of Central Asia, however, they show that the potential distribution area/climate-defined niche of P. bracteatum is much larger than the regions currently inhabited by the species.
