Description
This map shows output from the CBI statistical (Maxent) species distribution model for the Elf Owl, Micrathene whitneyi .

The CBI Maxent output includes both continuous and thresholded data. The binary layer depicting predicted suitable habitat was derived using the maximum training sensitivity and specificity threshold (0.372) as well as a 1 km buffer around isolated occurrences west of the Colorado River, where the thresholded version of the model showed no habitat, due to the coarseness of the environmental data layers.

This model has a 10-fold cross validated AUC score of 0.854 (standard deviation 0.066).
