In the originally published version of this article, some conceptual issues required clarification,
including the treatment of subspecies, the inclusion of likely cultivated plant occurrences,
and the assumption of unrestricted migration. These issues have been addressed with the
following updates: the last sentence of the fourth paragraph was revised to read “…. which
is feasible through advances in species distribution modelling (SDM) and the closely related
process of ecological niche modeling, hereafter grouped as “SDMs””. The caption for Fig. 2 was
updated to include “(also see Supplementary Fig. 1)” and Supplementary Fig. 1 was added to
the Supplementary information. The sixth paragraph was expanded to include after “California
Endangered Species Act” the clarification “which is considered by some to be two species, but
here treated as one1”. Additionally, after “US Endangered Species Act” in the same sentence,
a clarification was added: “We interpret the output as maps of the species’ potential climatic
niche2,3, which can guide conservation actions such as assisted migration.” In the “Initial corpus
development” section of the Methods, “Supplementary Fig. 1” was replaced with “Supplementary Fig. 2.” Further, in the “Data collection” section, after “Global Biodiversity Information
Facility,” the following text was added: “To fully capture the species climatic limits, we included
cultivated specimens in the training datasets4–6. We also repeated the model with data by using
Godsoe et al. (ref. 7). Relevant updated data were not available from ref. 1 at the time of this
analysis.” The new references are numbered within the sequence of the article, and all changes
have been made to the HTML and PDF versions of the article.
