3.4 Centroid shifts of geographic distribution
Distribution centroid shifts of the suitable distribution area from LIG to 2050s are presented in Figure 4.
The distribution center of macaques during the LIG was located in Xuancheng City (31°45’27” N, 112°13’2”) in Hubei, with an elevation of 56 m. Under the LGM, the center of suitable habitats would move southeast to Changyang Tujia Autonomous County (30°23’48” N, 110°48’44” E), with an elevation of 337 m, a total migration displacement of 202.2 km.
The centroid of 1970-2000 is in Wufeng Tujia Autonomous County, Hubei (30°16′7″ N, 110°21′59″ E), with an elevation of 1,749 m. While SSP2 is reckoned, it would shift 21.1 km to Badong County (30°27′6.5880″ N, 110°18′52″ E) in the same province, with an elevation of 623 m. If SSP5 is considered, the centroid will move 65.2 km northeast in Digui County (30°44′5″ N, 110°46′34″ E), with an elevation of 733 m.
