Is the climate right for Pleistocene rewilding? Using species distribution models to extrapolate climatic suitability for mammals across continents [1]

Additional image:: 

Species distribution models (SDMs) are increasingly used for extrapolation, or predicting suitable regions for species under new geographic or temporal scenarios. However, SDM predictions may be prone to errors if species are not at equilibrium with climatic conditions in the current range and if training samples are not representative. Here the controversial
