These data are statistical model outputs for Mojave monkeyflower (
Mimulus mohavensis
)
species distribution, completed by Frank Davis’ Biogeography Lab at UC
Santa Barbara. Predictions of habitat occupancy for ~70 species were
generated from Maxent models for the CA Energy Commission’s project
“Cumulative Biological Impacts Framework for Solar Energy in the CA
Desert”, 500-10-021.
Species distribution models were produced at 270 m resolution using a
subset of 22 environmental variables. Models were evaluated with 10-fold
cross validated AUC scores. Binary layers depicting predicted suitable
habitat were derived using the equal training sensitivity and
specificity threshold.
Mimulus mohavensis, Max Sensitivity + Specifity threshold = 0.1646; best AUC = 0.9915; mean AUC = 0.99.

Descriptions”. For model diagnostics, please refer to the supporting
