Ecological niche comparison between delimited species.
We extracted the values of the environmental variables from each
occurrence point in order to determine whether the delimited species
differed with respect to the ecological space they occupied.
In addition, we performed a
CVA to evaluate whether the ecological niche of the delimited species
allows them to be segregated on the basis of their environmental
characteristics. Multivariate statistical analyses and CVA were run in
the R software.
