Climate Changes

Maps of species distribution inferred by Maxent v.3.3.3. Bioclimatic optimal conditions used to draw the distribution map of Cryptococcus gattii VGI in 2010-2019 decade have been projected on the bioclimatic conditions exhisting in the past three decades to infer new distribution maps. Climate conditions differences observed between the last two decades were used to predict the climate conditions in 2020-2029 and the correlated species distribution of VGI. Color gradients represent the different probability of presence for the fungus in a specific geographical area
