We obtained 5,020 spatially unique presence records of 50 of the
>60 recognized sea snakes. Most of the records of the
species were distributed in the Indo-Pacific Ocean and Hydrophis
platurus being the only species with representation in the Pacific of
the new world (density map by genus is available in Fig_SM1.
Additionally, an interactive map can be performed with
“3_Density_plot.r” code in
https://github.com/PatronRiveroC/Ssnakes).
Regarding model evaluation, we obtained a median partial AUC ratio
>1 for all species (i.e., all our models were better than
expected by chance). The ORs in the final models were ≤ 0.10, but three
species when we used the variables at 5 minutes resolution and seven
species at 10 minutes and six for 10 minutes (Table 2). We show species’
environmental suitability maps for each species in Fig_SM2-SM51.
