Rhinolophus megaphyllus Family Rhinolophidae
Common name(s): Eastern Horsehoe-bat
Number of occurrence records: 5119 raw records; 127 records after filtering
Models fitted: MaxEnt
Last model update: 30 September 2012
Prediction: A -0.75% LOSS in overall climate suitability is predicted for this species between current (baseline) climate and climate in 2050.
Change in components of overall climate suitability:
| Climate suitability index | | Gain or loss |
| High (0.65 - 1) |  | -16.5 |
| Medium (0.35 - 0.65) |  | -5.71 |
| Low (0 - 0.35) |  | 21.46 |

Materials and methods
Briefly, the methods used were:
- Occurrence data was gathered from GBIF and ALA
- Climate data was provided by WordClim current or baseline climate, and future climate for 2050 was derived from 14 GCM used in the IPCC AR4
- Models of climate suitability were fitted using current climate and projected onto the 14 future climates
- A mean map of predicted climate suitability was made across the 14 projections to give a consensus map
A detailed description of the methods used is provided here.
