Figure 1. All variable contribution estimated by MaxEnt percentage of contribution (PC) and permutation of importance (PI) for each taxonomic level at both spatial resolutions. A) = 5 arc-minutes, B) = 10 arc-minutes. Warmer colors denoted higher contribution while lighter colors less contribution.
Figure 2. Chord diagram for the relative important variables under the percentage of contribution (PC) and permutation of importance (PI) estimated by MaxEnt and their representation in different taxonomic and spatial resolution levels. More connected variables represent that are relatively important variables in more taxonomic and spatial resolution levels comparing to variables less connected. A) = PC at 5 arc-minutes, B) = PI at 5 arc-minutes, C) = PC at 10 arc-minutes, D) = PI at 10 arc-minutes, Nit = nitrates, Pho = phosphates, Sal = salinity, Sil = silicates, Tem = temperature.
Figure 3. Lower and upper thermal limits of sea snakes at three taxonomic levels, three temperatures measures, five variable groups and two spatial resolutions. A) = Sea snakes’ lineage at 5 arc-minutes, B) = Sea snakes’ lineage at 10 arc-minutes, C) = Hydrophiinae subfamily at 5 arc-minutes, D) = Hydrophiinae subfamily at 10 arc-minutes, E) = Laticaudinae subfamily at 5 arc-minutes, F) = Laticaudinae subfamily at 10 arc-minutes, G) = Aipysurus genus at 5 arc-minutes, H) =Aipysurus genus at 10 arc-minutes, I) = Emydocephalusgenus at 5 arc-minutes, H) = Emydocephalus genus at 10 arc-minutes, Max = maximum temperature, Mean = mean temperature, Min = minimum temperature, Bma = maximum benthic Bio-Oracle, Bme = mean benthic Bio-Oracle, Bmi = minimum benthic Bio-Oracle, Bsurf = superficial Bio-Oracle, Msurf = superficial MARSPEC. All p values are in Table SM4.
