METHODOLOGICAL INFORMATION

1. Description of methods used for generation of data: 

For each species used in the manuscript, numerous SDM models were run by systematically sampling combinations of modelling approaches. 

The ‘SPCA_futures’ file countains the 176 SDMs for Speyeria carolae (the Carole's fritillary; SPCA), the species we used to illustrate our approach. Files’ names specify which of the 4 statistical algorithms was used in the modelling process (GBM, GLM, MARS, RF). The name also indicates which of the 4 non-redundant subsets of bioclimatic predictors was used. Note that for SPCA, only one subset was used (Sub0). Similary, the name details the spatial regions (mp10, mp25, sq10, sq25) and the combinations of global and regional climate models used in the SDM. 11 combinations of GCM and RCM were used for each speceis(e.g., RCM3_gfdl, WRFG_ccsm, WRFM_cgcm3, …). See main text and supplementary files for more details.

The ‘SPCA_Ensemble_Data’ file countains the modelling ensembles used to create the different conservation strategies tested in our approach. These strategies are based on a combination of ensembles that have been run at different temporal (present or future) and geographical scales (Local, Minimum Convex Polygon or 250 km buffer). They also account for land already owned by govenmental agencies. See main text and supplementary files for details.
