Figure 5

Modeled geographic distribution of Triatoma barberi, shown with known occurrence points used to create and test the ecologic niche model. Dark red = 100% of best-subsets models predict presence, medium red = 75% of best-subsets models predict presence, light red = 50% of best-subsets models predict presence, lightest red = any best-subsets model predicts presence.
