     The palaeomodeling method intersects predicted species' distributions under current conditions and climatic extremes of the Late Quaternary (6000 years before present, or 6 kybp, and 21 kybp) to predict areas of stability (regions in which species are predicted to occupy irrespective of time period) and unstable areas ( 7, 14 ).
