Environmental variable correlations and variables’ percent contributions and permutation importance for each genus in initial modeling. Bottom-left: Network diagram showing the percent contribution (%) of each environmental variable (positioned diagonally) to each rodent genus (along the left and bottom axes). The thickness and color of the connecting lines represent the magnitude of contribution, with thicker and more yellow edges indicating higher contribution. Center: Pearson correlation matrix among the 22 environmental variables used in the modeling. Right: Permutation importance (%) of each variable in predicting genus-level habitat suitability.
