‘Correct predictions’ by different models( based on presence-only tiger records in 20 grids collected from independent surveys)Percentage of correct prediction100%75%50%25%MaxEntOccupancyCountLogistic regression0%1 2 3 4Treshholds on probability of occurrence34 1 = Very low, 2= low, 3= medium, 4= high
ConclusionsBetter to model than simply to map occurrence: accounting samplingefforts & environmental variablesIgnoring detection probability ~ underestimating the populationparametersVariation in results from different modelsModel robustness for some variables & areasAccount for missing detections whenever possible: use occupancyFor some cases, presence-only model is still an acceptable choice.
