SUMMARY:

Endangered species face diverse anthropogenic pressures, such as habitat loss, hunting and climate change. Accelerated changes in climate can influence the geographic distributions of species in several ways. And to increase the species' survival prospects, it is necessary to ensure the maintenance of habitats with an adequate climate. In this work we evaluate the predicted climate changes along the geographic distribution of the yellow-breasted capuchin monkey (Sapajus xanthosternos), a critically endangered primate, and its consequences on the climatic suitability for this species across space. Our results show an increase of up to 5.8°C in temperature in the area of occurrence and a decrease of up to 400mm of rainfall for the future time. And our models showed an abrupt loss of suitability in their distribution. Our results emphasize the importance of maintaining habitats with an adequate climatic niche in the central east region, which will be fundamental for the preservation of the species. And the maintenance of forest remnants in other regions will be important for the conservation of the species.
