5 5 Distribution Within the United States No records of Aequidens metae in the United States were found. 6 Climate Matching Summary of Climate Matching Analysis The climate match for Aequidens metae was low across the contiguous United States with small, isolated pockets of medium match along the West Coast . The Climate 6 score (Sanders et al. 2014; 16 climate variables; Euclidean d istan ce) for the contiguous U.S. was 0.000, low , and no states had an individually high climate match . Figure 3 .
