Ecological niche modeling predicts the potential distribution areas of species and contributes to measuring the niche differentiation among taxa. and are two mountain viper taxa distributed in Anatolia. In the present study, the habitat suitability of and was assessed, and ecological niche ranges between these taxa were compared. According to species distribution models, while the distribution area of covers a relatively large region in central Anatolia, has a relatively narrow distribution over the eastern Taurus mountains. The species distributional results showed that the annual temperature range and mean temperature of the coldest quarter were the highest contributing variables, with 62.5% for and 67.9% for prefers 13 different habitat types, while prefers 6 different habitat types in their distribution areas. Niche differentiation analysis revealed that there was no overlap between the two taxa in terms of their ecological niches.
生态位建模预测物种的潜在分布区域，并有助于衡量不同分类单元之间的生态位分化。[具体物种名称1]和[具体物种名称2]是分布于安纳托利亚的两种山蝰分类单元。在本研究中，评估了[具体物种名称1]和[具体物种名称2]的栖息地适宜性，并比较了这些分类单元之间的生态位范围。根据物种分布模型，[具体物种名称1]的分布区域覆盖安纳托利亚中部相对较大的区域，而[具体物种名称2]在东托罗斯山脉的分布相对较窄。物种分布结果表明，年温度范围和最冷月平均温度是贡献最大的变量，对[具体物种名称1]而言占62.5%，对[具体物种名称2]而言占67.9%。[具体物种名称1]在其分布区域偏好13种不同的栖息地类型，而[具体物种名称2]偏好6种不同的栖息地类型。生态位分化分析表明，这两个分类单元在生态位方面没有重叠。
