Description: Niche-based distribution model inferred in Maxent. The model indicates predicted habitat suitability for the Illacme plenipes millipede, based on climatic variables extracted from known geographical coordinates of the species. It is endemic to central California High levels of habitat suitability are denoted in blue and low levels in red (reverse heat map). Coordinates of recently collected specimens are indicated by a circle around the locations (northwest of the Gabilan Range) to preserve the confidentiality of sensitive habitat. Localities surveyed for additional populations of Illacme plenipes: 1. Frank Raines Park; 2. Henry Coe State Park; 3. Fremont Peak State Park; 4. Pinnacles National Park; 5. Mount Madonna County Park; 6. Alum Rock Park; 7. Joseph D. Grant County Park; and 8. El Rancho Cienega del Gabilan.
