Predicted future distribution of the northern pika considering microclimates in (starting from top row) the Biei, Shikaribetsu, and Oketo regions based on the consensus approach. The 1st and 2nd columns are predictions for the 2041–2070 and 2071–2100 under the SSP1-2.6 scenario, and the 3rd and 4th those under the SSP5-8.5 scenario. Dark gray areas represent where suitable habitat is lost in the future, while light gray areas represent unsuitable areas at the baseline period. Areas with rocky landforms are depicted by black lines. The light blue areas represent suitable habitats supported by ambient air outside rocky landforms. Within rocky landforms, the dark blue areas represent suitable habitats supported by both ambient air and rock-interstice microclimate, whereas the pink areas represent those supported only by microclimate.
