Evaluating the predictive performance of presence–absence models: Why can the same model appear excellent or poor?
Abstract When comparing multiple models of species distribution, models yielding higher predictive performance are clearly to be favored. A more difficult question is how to decide whether even the best model is “good enough”. Here, we clarify key choices and metrics related to evaluating the predic...
