abstract = "The joint effects of climate change and landscape fragmentation to
the genetic viability of isolated populations has barely been
addressed for the Atlantic Forest fauna. Therefore, this work
explored the potential habitat suitability for the southern
muriqui (Brachyteles arachnoides), by modeling climate change,
landscape fragmentation, and genetic diversity loss of the
species. Maxent was used to model its potential distribution in
2050, with two climate change scenarios. A land use and land cover
change model was applied to describe current and future forest
fragmentation patterns, and a Population and Habitat Viability
Analysis (PHVA) was used to describe the retention of genetic
diversity of the southern muriqui. Although PHVA modeling provided
a low risk of extinction of the southern muriqui, climate change
and fragmentation could result in the loss of >65% of the suitable
forest patches, and reduce the habitat suitability to only 11% of
the potential distribution area, which could lead to future
genetic diversity loss and decreased capacity of self-sustained
populations. In both climate change scenarios, the suitable areas
for the southern muriqui in Paran{\'a} and Rio de Janeiro states
will decrease more drastically. Areas where the primate occurs in
the interior of S{\~a}o Paulo and Rio de Janeiro states will
disappear or be climatically disconnected from the core potential
habitat. Alike preventing further deforestation, Atlantic Forest
restoration actions are needed to connect the viable populations
for compensating the projected land use and climate change impacts
to the long term persistence of the southern muriqui.",
