Example of a predictive species occurrence map

This map depicts the known distribution of a brown tick (Acari: Ixodidae; Rhipicephalus pulchellus) in East Africa and a species range map derived using rainfall and temperature data. The black dots are collection localities at which the tick was found, and shading indicates a probability of occurrence at a resolution of a quarter of a degree. Further methodological details can be found in the papers listed in [47].
