Modeling the current and future habitat suitability of in the dry forest of northern Peru under climate change scenarios to 2100.

The development of anthropic activities and climate change effects impact worldwide species' ecosystems and habitats. Habitats' adequate prediction can be an important tool to assess current and future trends. In addition, it allows strategies development for their conservation.

Potential Current and Future Distribution of the Long-Whiskered Owlet () in Amazonas and San Martin, NW Peru.

The IUCN has listed the long-whiskered owlet () as vulnerable due to the presence of few geographic records, its restricted range, and anthropogenic threats. Its natural history and ecology are largely unknown, and its distribution is widely debated; therefore, there is an urgent need for the real-time conservation of . In this study, 66 geo-referenced records of , 18 environmental variables, and the maximum entropy model (MaxEnt) have been used to predict the current and future (2050 and 2070) potential distribution of in the Amazonas and San Martin regions of northwestern Peru.
