dc.descriptionEcological niche models are used to quantify the relationships between known occurrence records of a given species and environmental variables at these locations. Maxent is among the most widely used algorithms for modeling species distribution and has demonstrated better performance compared to other methods. However, the extent of the study area is a critical issue in the development of presence-only species distribution models because it encompasses the region used to extract the background points employed to characterize the envi- ronments accessible to the species. Thus, this study evaluated the effect of the extension of the study area on the species distribution modeling with the Maxent algorithm and occurrence data from the invasive species Raoiella indica Hirst (Acari: Tenuipalpidae). The increase in the study area extent inflated most of the threshold- dependent and -independent metrics used to assess model performance. The selection of the study area also affected the predicted suitable areas for the species (its potential distribution). The analysis shows that models developed with smaller study areas resulted in model overfitting and an increase in false-negative predictions. The extent of the area used during model training has a strong influence on the model outputs, with significant consequences for predicting the potential distribution of invasive species and thus for the areas under risk of invasion.
