dc.description.abstractThe Iraq Babbler, Argya altirostris (Hartert, 1909), previously known only along the Euphrates and Tigris rivers in Iraq, Syria, and western Iran, was discovered in Turkiye at the end of the 1990s. It was observed only along the Euphrates Valley between Nizip (Gaziantep) and Birecik (Sanliurfa) for more than 15 years. Recently, it was seen in some other parts of Gaziantep and Sanliurfa provinces as well as Adiyaman, Hatay, Kahramanmaras, Mersin, and Osmaniye in south Turkiye. The species was found in a few localities of Adiyaman (Golbasi), Hatay (Kirikhan, Hassa, Samandag), and Mersin (Silifke) provinces between 2020-2022 in the western and northern direction of its distribution. The six new district records are reported here for the first time. Thus, its distribution has extended to the Mediterranean and the western Turkiye (Anatolia) in the northernmost area of the species' range. Similarly, its distribution in Karbala Province expanded westwards concerning our new locality record from Iraq. To test its expansion in northern and southern Anatolia, we performed species distribution modeling for four time periods, as simulated in five General Circulation Models (GCMs), to evaluate the distributional shifts of the Iraq Babbler over the decades and to forecast its future projections. The results show that the Iraq Babbler could expand its distribution in the Mediterranean and western Turkiye and confirm our field observations. The currently unsuitable areas could become suitable by 2100, most likely expanding its potential habitat in Turkiye.
