Statistical metrics used to evaluate model performance by MAXENT (i.e. presence-only data) and with presence/absence test data. Training AUC, area under the curve for the training data set; Test AUC,
Aim: Ecological niche modelling requires robust estimation of model performance and significance, but common evaluation approaches often yield biased estimates. Null models provide a solution but are
Test omission errors for ecological niche models estimated for the California quail in which regularization multiplier values varied. Models were built based on the selection of the best variable suit
Ecological niche models (ENMs) are widely used in spatial prioritization for biodiversity conservation (e.g. selecting conservation areas). However, it is unclear whether ENMs are always beneficial fo
