“ROC score” is the mean ROC score based on the univariate analysis; “PI” is the mean permutation importance of each individual predictor for GLM, GAM, RF and ME based multivariate SDMs; “No” is the number of species for which the respective predictor variable was identified as statistically significant (the total number of considered species is 38).
