SUMMARY:

Accelerated changes in climate influence biodiversity and species distribution. To increase the species' survival prospects, it is necessary to guarantee the maintenance of habitats with an adequate climate. In this work we evaluated the effects of predicted climate change along the geographic distribution of the yellow-breasted capuchin monkey (Sapajus xanthosternos), a primate classified as critically endangered. We compared the characterization of the present and future climatic pattern in the species distribution; and we evaluated the difference between the climate suitability of the present time, and for the expected future in the face of climate change. Our results show that climate change will occur heterogeneously along its distribution. In 75% of its area of occurrence there will be a temperature increase with values greater than 4oC of temperature. The regions with the highest levels of rainfall in the present time are the regions where the greatest decrease in rainfall of up to 400 mm will occur in the future. We also found an increase in temperature and precipitation variation for the entire range of occurrence of the species. We found an abrupt loss of climate suitability in the distribution of the species, if the predictions for the most pessimistic scenario of climate change occur. Our results emphasize the importance of maintaining and restoring  habitats with suitable climatic niches in the region east of the distribution where there will be the highest values of climatic suitability that will be fundamental for the preservation and conservation of the species.
