...…Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF, http://www.gbif.org/) is at the moment one of the largest and most widely used biodiversity databases (Beck et al., 2012, 2014; Jetz et al., 2012), with the objective to ‘make the world’s primary data on biodiversity freely and universally available…...

...Prediction results were found to strongly depend on sampling bias [17], sampling size [18, 19], and location uncertainty [20] decreasing the confidence in SDM results [21, 22]....

...As a second, independent metric of SDM prediction quality for Switzerland, A. Erhardt, an expert for the ecology, behaviour and distribution of the Swiss Lepidoptera visually AC C EP TE D M AN U SC R IP T interpreted and evaluated predictive maps (Maxent logistic output, identical colour scheme for all maps), applying the Swiss highschool grading system (1-6, in steps of 0.5; best grade is 6)....

...Because AUC calculation for presence-only data, as provided by Maxent, replaces missing commission error data with predicted area size, we denote this as AUCMaxent to distinguish it from true AUC (Brown & Davis, 2006; see below)....

...Using less points (i.e., removing spatial bias) lead to a decrease of model quality as measured internally by AUCMaxent (linear regression of records vs. AUCMaxent: r = 0.765, p 0.0001)....
