From hot to cold spots: Climate change will change diversity patterns of small mammals in a biodiversity hotspot

Climate change represents one of the main current threats to biodiversity. Changes in temperature and precipitation regimes are expected to induce species range shifts and alter diversity and distribution patterns in the Atlantic forest. In this paper, we evaluate if protected areas and forest remnants will ensure the richness and the phylogenetic diversity of small mammals under scenarios of future climate change. Species distribution models were used to assess the potential distribution of small mammals using baseline and future (2050 and 2070) in the optimistic and pessimistic scenarios of greenhouse gas emissions. Our results showed that climate changes will lead to a strong reduction in the suitable climatic areas for small mammals in the AF. The shrinkage in the potential distribution will lead to high loss of TD and PD. The southeastern region of the Atlantic Forest is likely to experience the most pronounced decline in PD, while some small areas in the southern and northeastern ..., , , # From hot to cold spots: Climate change will change diversity patterns of small mammals in a biodiversity hotspot.

### Description of the Data and File Structure

Within the folder **\"raw_data_and_scripts.zip\"**, there are two spreadsheets containing occurrence data for each species used to build the models and a phylogenetic tree. All missing data represented as NA.

The first spreadsheet is named: **\"00_occ_cleaned_dryad.csv\"**

* **species**: Scientific name of the species
* **longitude**: Decimal values indicating the longitude of the species' occurrence
* **latitude**: Decimal values indicating the latitude of the species' occurrence
* **Year**: Year when the data was collected
* **Source**: Source from which the data was obtained
* **coordinate_precision**: Indicates whether the precision of the coordinates was reduced to protect threatened species. We reduced the precision of the coordinate data to threatened species (e.g., *Callistomys pictus, Chaetomys subspinosus, Drymoreomy...,
