Shown are the number of georeferenced sites used to build the distribution model; two measures of model performance: (i) the area under the receiver operator curve (AUC) for full models and for test data sets (40% of the full data set), and (ii) the P-value from a one-tailed binomial test on the Maxent extrinsic omission rate and proportional predicted area (Anderson et al. 2002), where significant P-values indicate high model performance; the most important environmental predictor variables as assessed by a jackknifing procedure, where the variable either is used on its own or is the only one omitted from the data set. See Table S1 for information on the environmental variables.
