Mapping an endangered living fossil's distribution, threats, and protection coverage

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 6, Issue 4, April 2024.
We used Species Distribution Models to determine the potential geographic distribution of a vulnerable species, Calyptocephalella gayi, the helmeted water toad, an endemic amphibian from Chile. In addition, we estimated the role of the Chilean Protected Areas in safeguarding the species and determined the level of risk at which the species is submitted
