Contributions of the Environmental Parameters

Column (i) lists the 10 Anopheles species for which niche models were constructed. Columns (ii–iv) list the three parameters that produced the largest AUC when taken individually. These parameters are listed in decreasing order from (ii) to (iv) on the basis of their associated AUC values. Thus column (ii) lists the environmental parameter that possesses the most information regarding the niche of each species. Columns (v–vii) list the three parameters that produced the smallest AUC when omitted. These parameters are listed in increasing order from (ii) to (iv) on the basis of their associated AUC values. Thus column (v) lists the environmental parameter that possesses the most information not possessed by the other parameters regarding the niche of each species. Average AUC values are provided next to each environmental parameter with the standard deviation of the values provided in parenthesis.
