3.2 MaxEnt model performance

The average AUC value of each species was between 0.80 and 1.00, indicating that the simulation effect of the model on each species was good or excellent. Among them, the minimum average AUC value was 0.80 and the maximum was 0.99 (Figure 3), which demonstrated that the constructed MaxEnt model could be used to predict and analyze the potential geographical distribution of 25 rare, endangered and/or national protected species in Northwest Yunnan.
