Figure 2. The AUC values compared to area (fraction of total area) predicted as present by species.

Random pseudoabsences (rand) had high AUC values and little difference in area by species albeit extremely parsimonious areas, whereas both random pseudoabsences followed by pseudoabsences with probabilities <25% (rand_2) and surveyed pseudoabsences followed by pseudoabsences with probabilities <25% (surv_2) had a range of AUC values and area predicted as present although all predicted areas were large, and pseudoabsences from surveyed plots (surv) had a range of AUC values and area predicted as present.
