Summary of model performance predicting species occurrences of Rhabdomys. Results are shown according to the threshold used to determine species presence or absence from the suitability predicted by MAXENT. AUC, performance index; KMT, kappa maximizing threshold; MDT, maximum difference threshold. Notice that while AUC is threshold independent, sensitivity (presence prediction success rate) and specificity (absence prediction success rate) depend on the threshold chosen to predict occurrence from the continuous suitability index.
