Figure 1.
Canonical discriminant analysis based on environmental variables (altitude, temperature, and precipitation) to model the presence/absence of the nematode Metaparasitylenchus hypothenemi in the Soconusco, Chiapas, for the year 2003. Variability explained by the canonical variable is 100%.

Table 3.
Breadth and evaluation of the SDMs. All models were characterized by a high predictive accuracy in the partial ROC test (AUC = 0.99). The breadth of the geographical distribution of Metaparasitylenchus hypothenemi was similar (4692 km2), although all models predict a limited geographical distribution (0.02%) for the Neotropical region (23943229 km2).
| SDM | Accessible area | SDM breadth | Proportion | Partial ROC test | ||

A) with fifteen climatic variables, B) with eight climatic variables, C) with six climatic variables, and D) the final model constructed with the sum of models A, B, and C. Regions with probability of occurrence (high inside the red rectangle, low inside the dotted line shapes).
