The above map shows the simulated distribution of White-browed Crombec (Sylvietta leucophrys) for 2055 based on projected future climate change. The map was generated by relating the species's current (2008) range to current climate and then projecting this relationship onto future climate simulations produced by the Hadley Centre (HADCM3 model using the B2a scenario of future greenhouse gas emissions).
See Hole et al. 2009 for further information.

The modelling and mapping work presented here was undertaken at Durham University with funding from the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) and using bird range data provided by the Zoological Museum, University of Copenhagen. The MacArthur Foundation funded the production of these maps on this web-page. Improved presentation of these resources was facilitated through support by the Global Environment Facility (GEF).
