We investigated the local effect of these anthropogenic factors on the temporal range dynamics of Lataste\u2019s viper (Vipera latastei), an Iberian endemic Mediterranean reptile that has apparently become rare over the years in Do\u00f1ana. Using ecological niche-based models, based on climatic and remote sensing variables, we analyzed historical (1959\u20131999) and contemporary (2000\u20132022) records of the species to assess range shifts and identify environmental factors that may influence them. Our results show that V. latastei is mostly restricted to the coastal region of Do\u00f1ana and that one temperature variable is the most important factor explaining this distribution pattern in both periods. Additional climatic and vegetation variables play a role in its historical distribution, but they become less important in contemporary times, suggesting a niche simplification over time. We found 30.5% of reduction in the species suitable area from historical to contemporary conditions, a reduction that would be even greater (83.37%) in the absence of niche shift. These findings underscore the species\u2019 heightened vulnerability to ongoing environmental changes and highlight the urgent need for targeted conservation strategies.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ani14203025","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,21]],"date-time":"2024-10-21T08:53:11Z","timestamp":1729500791000},"page":"3025","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Temporal Range Dynamics of the Lataste\u2019s Viper (Vipera latastei Bosc\u00e1, 1878) in Do\u00f1ana (Spain): Insights into Anthropogenically Driven Factors"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0300-1880","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rafael","family":"Carmona-Gonz\u00e1lez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Estaci\u00f3n Biol\u00f3gica de Do\u00f1ana (EBD-CSIC), Avda.
