Fig. 3

Projected change in potential distributional areas (left column, expressed as percent of present distributional area) and projected distance that range centroids would shift (right column), as a result of modeled climate change processes. Results are separated for montane (black) and flatlands (white) species and for three assumptions regarding dispersal ability (no dispersal, contiguous dispersal, universal dispersal). Note the contrasts between montane and flatlands species in the degree of change of suitable area and position of suitable areas. Reproduced with permission from Peterson (2003)
