2.5 Model performance comparison
We evaluated and compared the performances of each habitat suitability model and the ensemble model for each species using AUC and True Statistic Skill (TSS). We considered a model with AUC > 0.9 as excellent, 0.8-0.9 as good, 0.7-0.8 as moderate and 0.6-0.7 as poor. We took a model with TSS > 0.75 as indicating excellent, 0.4-0.75 as good and < 0.4 as poor (Eskildsen et al., 2013). Variables contribution for each model of each species was calculated in Biomod 2. Besides, the response curves of presence points to the most significant variables in each model were produced and interpreted for each species.
