Table 2 A checklist of model characteristics that must be explicitly mentioned in published SDMs
From: Trends in species distribution modelling in context of rare and endemic plants: a systematic review
The geographical location of the study |
Methodological approach followed in the study: mechanistic, correlative, or hybrid |
What is the type and degree of errors? |
How can the absence record be addressed? |
What is the association between fitted models and estimated models? What are the outcomes of putting the model predictions to the test against independent datasets? What are the outcomes of spatial and temporal extrapolation of model outputs? |
Do the outcomes of various algorithms agree or contradict across geographical spaces? |
