Model performance statistics generated using an ensemble modelling approach. The ability of the training data to predict the probability of presence was tested with different statistical metrics: area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristic, kappa statistic, sensitivity (% true positives), specificity (% true negatives) and true skill statistic (TSS). Statistics were calculated using two thresholds: 10 percentile training presence logistic threshold (10th) and maximum sensitivity and specificity (MSS)
