Figure 2. Final predictor influences in boosted regression tree models
estimating winter species distributions of bat speciesCorynorhinus townsendii , Myotis californicus , Myotis
lucifugus , Myotis velifer , and Perimyotis subflavusacross the United States and Canada. Brighter colors indicate higher
influence; predictors that were dropped from a given model are shown in
gray. Variables are ordered by their average influence across species
(decreasing left to right).
