Envelope ok; no further edits recommended |
Envelope ok; no further edits recommended |
Envelope ok/species known to have large interannual changes in habitat usage are only inadequately captured by single annnual envelope; |
Envelope ok but may still be improved adjusting parameters (>2); or available environmental parameters are unable to adequately describe species occurrence |

Bounding box complete and with good fit to known distribtution |
Bounding box complete and with good fit to known distribtution |
Uses bounding box; no further improvements of bounding box possible but areas of false predicted presence remain |
Uses bounding box but may need further improvements; defined by FAO areas that encompass entire known range |

Point data/good cells |
Adequately large sample size; samples cover representative portion of species range;no apparent bias introduced;no good cells needed to be added/removed |
Adequately large sample size; samples cover representative portion of species range;biases were corrected by adding or removing good cells |
Medium sampe size and coverage of known species range but strong effort biases due to heterogenous sampling effort; possible point data bias/output can only be improved with addition/deletion of a large number good cells |
Low sample size, non-representative coverage of species range by sampling |

Predicted range of occurrence |
In very good agreement with known range/significant statistical relationship between predictions and independent survey data |
In good agreement with known range |
Approximates known range but possibly with some areas of false predicted presence or absence |
Approximates known range but includes large areas of false predicted presence or absence |

Predicted relative likelihood of occurrence |
In very good agreement with known relative occurrences/significant statistical relationship between predictions and independent survey data |
In good agreement with known relative occurrences |
Good correspondence with overall range but large discrepancies between predictions and known concentrations of high species occurrence |
