| Sumario: | Coryphantha durangensis it is an endemic cactus that lives in Mexico, in the center of the Chihuahuan desert, and is considered as Special Protection by the NOM-059-SEMARNAT-2010 One of the greatest threats to this species is climate change and habitat loss. In the present study, the climatic niche of C. durangensis was evaluated and the habitat availability of this species was modeled using the MaxEnt algorithm under current climate conditions and future. The results show a reduction in the geographical areas that present climatically suitable conditions for the presence of this species for the year 2050 and 2070, however, four sites were identified that could be proposed as conservation areas for this and other species that cohabit in these zones. |
