Abstract:
This data publication contains 990 raster digital files of modeled potential distributions for 59 odonate species and 40 other insect species that were observed from 1990-2022 during the summer months of June, July, and August in North America under the following 10 climates: 1981-2010; 20,000 years ago (ka); 10 ka; 6 ka; and six end-of-century (2071-2100) climate projections under two emission scenarios. Mean accuracies of withheld samples for models, based on climate of 1981-2010, were 0.94 for the 59 odonate species and 0.95 for 40 other insect species. Annual temperature and temperature of the warmest quarter were found to be the most important variables for summer distributions.
