摘要: Knowledge of a species’ distribution and habitat preferences is paramount importance when assessing its conservation status. We used accurately recorded occurrence records ecological niche modeling to predict the two poorly known small carnivore species that occur in Asia, spotted linsang (Prionodon pardicolor) banded linsang), analyzed their overlaps for elevation. then assessed loss suitable estimated proportion predicted presence under protected areas. identified possible anthropogenic threats, our predictions recommend surveying priorities. Our study confirmed these linsangs are geographically separated, with no overlap distributions. results indicated elevation niches similar: they both primarily evergreen forest can be found at all elevations up around 3,000 m. Although might allopatric due intense interspecific competition between them, other explanations could explain patterns, such as biogeographical barriers. findings suggest threatened by loss, degradation, fragmentation tropical forests. Urgent field studies thus needed learn more about requirements impact including disturbance hunting.
