Table 2. Summary of the observed and expected number of species for which the variable selection method correctly identified zero, one, two or three out of three variables used to simulate the species distribution.

The counts are tallied for 200 simulated species (All) and separated by the 100 species for which we selected Weak and Strong influence of the environmental variables on determining the species distribution.
