AB  - Species distribution models (SDMs) are increasingly used in conservation and land use planning as inputs to describe biodiversity patterns. SDMs can be built in different ways, and decisions about data preparation, selection of predictor variables, model fitting and evaluation all alter the resulting predictions. Commonly, the true distribution of species is not known, nor is there independent data to verify which SDM variant to choose. Such model uncertainty is concerning to planners. We analys...
