The most appropriate species distribution model (SDM), marked in bold, is selected based on the highest weighted score. Model 1: annual variables, 90% threshold; Model 2: annual variables, ‘ensemble.min’ threshold; Model 3: bioclimatic subset of variables, 90% threshold and Model 4: bioclimatic subset of variables, ‘ensemble.min’ threshold. Weighted score values can vary between 1 and 5. In addition, the table shows the number of valid expert responses (number of experts) and the average expert concordance (average concordance value) per species.
