Simulation and response mechanism of potential geographical distribution of plateau pika Ochotona curzoniae under climate change by Yanni Song, Hainan Chong, Dawei Wang, Haijun Xiao

“…The central and eastern parts of the QTP are potential distribution areas for plateau pika, with the current suitable area totaling 8.01 × 105 km2, accounting for 32.04 % of the QTP. 3) The suitable areas of plateau pika will gradually migrate to higher altitude areas, especially with more significant changes under high-emission scenarios (SSP370 and SSP585). 4) Human activities have relatively limited impacts on the distribution pattern of plateau pika, mainly manifested as suitability changes in some local areas. …”
