Discussion
Our study compared for the first time the model complexity and predicted
suitable habitat of the optimal models selected by
ORTEST and AUCDIFF approaches using two
omission rates derived from both restrictive and less restrictive
thresholds. We also used the less restrictive threshold to derive
predicted suitable habitats and to assess for their ecological
plausibility. Further, we used two taxonomic groups of freshwater
species with different life history traits. The focus of this study,
Bhutan, is also interesting as freshwater species distributions are
poorly documented (National Biodiversity Centre, 2014).
