Ecological niche modelling and its projection in the geographic areas for E. a. affinis (yellow) and E. a. godmani (blue). In all four panels (a-d), the contribution values of each environmental variable of ENM’s is illustrated in the left and the projection of the Ecological niche conditions in the geographic distribution area is shown in the maps. a Ecological Niche projected in the current geographic distribution area of E. affinis and E. a. godmani. b ENM’s projected into the geography for each lineage. c ENM of E. a. affinis and E. a. godmani projected in the Last Maximum Glacial ecological conditions. d ENM of E. a. affinis and E. a. godmani projected in the Last Inter Glacial ecological conditions.
