| Summary: | Fig. 1. Geographic and climatic features for the occurrence sites of Mesobuthus eupeus mongolicus and its suitable distributional areas predicted by ecological niche modeling. A. Field surveying sites (camping sites and stopovers) in Mongolia (dots) and occurrence points (crosses) of M. eupeus mongolicus is projected on the physical map of studied region. B. Scorpion occurring sites is projected on the map of Köppen-Geiger climatic classification. BWk: arid, desert, cold; BSk: arid, steppe, cold; Df(a-c): cold, without dry season; Dw(a-c) cold, dry winter; EF: polar, frost; ET: polar, tundra. C. Suitable distributional areas (red) predicted with MaxEnt basing on 98 presence-only data for M. eupeus mongolicus.
