| Abstract | Salim Ali's fruit bat,Latidens salimalii,is a monotypic endangered fruit bat endemic to Western Ghats (WG) with an ambiguous distribution. The distribution range, habitat suitability, and biology of this species are still uncertain. Endemic species inhabiting the high elevation of WG likeL. salimaliiare threatened due to climatic change and seeks urgent management interventions. Hence, we developed a habitat suitability model forL. salimaliiusing MaxEnt in the current climate condition and projected their distribution for three Representation Concentration Pathway (RCP 4.5, 6.0, and 8.5) climate scenarios of the 2070 time frame. The results show that 9531 km(2)of habitat in WG is suitable forL. salimaliiat present, while all the future scenarios estimates propose complete loss of highly suitable habitat. The significant factors influencing the distribution ofL. salimaliiare the precipitation of the driest month, tree density, rain in the coldest quarter, canopy height, and altitude. The study pioneers in predicting the suitable habitat and emphasis the need to develop strategies for the long-term conservation of endangeredL. salimaliiin WG under global warming scenarios. |
