Figures & data

Table I. List of (i) organizations that provided records for reassessing the range of the species in south‐eastern France (PACA) and Italy (Figure ) and (ii) databases from which the synthetic distribution map of the common genet in France was built (Figure ). See Acknowledgments for a detailed list of the contributors.

Figure 1. Re‐assessed distribution map of the common genet (Genetta genetta) in Provence–Alpes–Côte d'Azur (PACA), south‐eastern France, and Italy. The main rivers are indicated. Departments of PACA are named as follows: Vau (Vaucluse), Bdr (Bouches‐du‐Rhône), Var, AlM (Alpes‐Maritimes), Alpes de Haute‐Provence (AHP), HAl (Hautes‐Alpes).

Figure 3. Synthetic distribution map of the common genet(Genetta genetta) based on four national databases (France) and literature sources (Italy), showing record density and the low number of records in PACA before this study. The Loire and Rhône rivers are indicated as ‘traditional’ geographical boundaries to the species range.

Appendix I. Detailed list of the records of common genets in PACA and Italy used in this study. Columns ‘LOCALITY’ from 1 to 3 represent the exact point of occurrence, communes or councils, and departments (France) or regions (Italy), respectively. ‘X‐’ and ‘Y Lamb II ét’ are latitudinal and longitudinal coordinates expressed in ‘Lambert II étendu’.
