The characteristics of 6 simulated species used in this research, along with their generated IUCN ranges.

6 Simulated species were used in this research (to compare with models made from real species occurrences). The virtual species were simulated using the “virtualspecies” package in R (Leroy et al., 2016), using the same four bioclimatic variables we include in the real-species models to create response curves and to identify areas of suitability.
