In chhetrid/rangemapR: A Modular Platform for Reproducible Modeling of Species Niches and Distributions

Component: Visualize Model Results

ORIENTATION

Niche/distributional models can be used to make predictions across geographic space, and the modeled response can be examined in environmental space as well (Elith and Graham 2009; Guisan and Zimmermann 2000). Component Visualize Model Results gives the user options for visualizations from both perspectives. Wallace provides 1) bivariate environmental envelope plots for BIOCLIM models (Module BIOCLIM Envelope Plots), 2) plots showing evaluation results over the range of Maxent models explored (Module Maxent Evaluation Plots), 3) response curves that depict how model response relates to changes in the environmental predictor variables (Module Plot Response Curves), and 4) maps of model predictions in the study region (Module Map Prediction. All plots are displayed in the "Results" tab.
