Download Workflow

This workflow is used to compare the results of two kinds of models: one using only low resolution layers and the other using a random mix of low and high resolution layers. Users select the study region and the environmental variables considered to be the main drivers of a virtual species niche. The workflow is all based on the ENM components, which use the openModeller Web Service (OMWS). After getting initial parameters from the user, the workflow generates a random virtual niche. A random threshold within a given prevalence range is then used to separate suitable from unsuitable areas, from where random training and testing points are sampled. Training points are used to generate the models and independent testing points are used for external tests measuring the AUC. All steps (except mask and environmental layer selection) are repeated a given number of times to check if the model using mixed resolution layers performs significantly better than the one with only low resolution layers.

Inputs (7)

Name	Description
min_virtual_niche_prevalence	Minimum virtual niche prevalence (proportion of suitable area in the native range).
max_virtual_niche_prevalence	Maximum virtual niche prevalence (proportion of suitable area in the native range).
num_background_points	Number of background points
num_testing_points	Number of points to be used for testing (an equal number will be used for presences and absences).
min_number_training_points	Minimum number of training points to be used when creating models for the virtual species. The real number will be a random value between minimum and maximum.
max_number_training_points	Maximum number of training points to be used when creating models for the virtual species. The real number will be a random value between minimum and maximum.
replicates	Number of times to repeat the experiment: generate virtual niche, generate models with different resolutions and test them.
