Fig. 6: Comparison of the distribution of predicted high suitability areas using both models over Annual Mean Temperature and Elevation.

a shows the distribution of predicted high suitability areas (≥ 0.75) modelled using Random Forest (RF) over Annual Mean Temperature (Bio01). b shows the distribution of predicted high suitability areas (≥ 0.75) modelled using Random Forest (RF) over Elevation (DEM). c shows the distribution of predicted high suitability areas (≥ 0.75) modelled using Maximum Entropy (MaxEnt) over Annual Mean Temperature (Bio01). d shows the distribution of predicted high suitability areas (≥ 0.75) modelled using Maximum Entropy (MaxEnt) over Elevation (DEM). Ridge lines on each panel show kernel density estimates, and the boxplots show medians, first and third quartiles (hinges), minimum and maximum values no further than 1.5*IQR from the hinge where IQR is the inter-quartile range (whiskers). Points show the jittered distribution of data points. Source data can be found at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.14253277.
