contents <p>The attached files contain predicted probabilities of species occurrence in both the Cairngorms and across the entirety of Scotland, generated using species distribution models. These models were developed using occurrence data from the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) and bioclimatic variables from the WorldClim V1 dataset (University of California). Much of the modelling workflow was supported by the flexsdm R package (Velazco et al., 2022, <a href="https://doi.org/10.1111/2041-210X.13874" target="_new" rel="noopener">https://doi.org/10.1111/2041-210X.13874</a>). Prior to model fitting, occurrence data were filtered for environmental redundancy to reduce sampling bias, and background (pseudo-absence) points were randomly sampled within a 5 km buffered calibration area around presence records. The dataset was partitioned using four-fold spatial cross-validation, and models were fitted using Generalised Linear Models, Gaussian Processes, and Support Vector Machines (SVM). Ensemble predictions were then refined using an occurrence-informed posterior constraint to minimise overprediction. The number in each filename corresponds to the GBIF species ID.</p> <p>Two sets of model outputs are provided: One for the Cairngorms region (see 'past_outputs_cairngorms.zip') and another for the entirety of Scotland (see 'scotland_sdm_results.zip').
