Climate Change Influences on Global Distributions of Dengue and Chikungunya Virus Vectors

Abstract

This packet presents raster data files that accompany a manuscript submitted for publication to Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society, titled “Climate Change Influences on Global Vector Distributions for Dengue and Chikungunya Viruses.” Included within this packet are the following data sets:

• bias_layer.tif – This data layer summarizes the intensity with which Aedes mosquitoes have been sampled worldwide, according to the digital data resources that were accessed for this study. This data layer was used as a ‘bias layer’ with which to guide background sampling in the Maxent algorithm. • aegypti_present.tif – Ecological niche model for Aedes aegypti under present-day conditions. • aegypti_a1b.tif – Ecological niche model for Aedes aegypti calibrated under present-day conditions, but transferred to SRES A1B conditions for 2050 (see text for details) • aegypti_a2.tif – Ecological niche model for Aedes aegypti calibrated under present-day conditions, but transferred to SRES A2 conditions for 2050 (see text for details) • aegypti_b1.tif – Ecological niche model for Aedes aegypti calibrated under present-day conditions, but transferred to SRES B1 conditions for 2050 (see text for details) • albopictus_present.tif – Ecological niche model for Aedes albopictus under present-day conditions. • albopictus_a1b.tif – Ecological niche model for Aedes albopictus calibrated under present-day conditions, but transferred to SRES A1B conditions for 2050 (see text for details) • albopictus_a2.tif – Ecological niche model for Aedes albopictus calibrated under present-day conditions, but transferred to SRES A2 conditions for 2050 (see text for details) • albopictus_b1.tif – Ecological niche model for Aedes aegypti calibrated under present-day conditions, but transferred to SRES B1 conditions for 2050 (see text for details)
