Basic questioreagrding running MaxEnt with nle cvs files or ASCII files

[Marjolaine Caillat]

Good morning,

I'm getting confuse with MAxEnt and the input data and the difference between running it with only.cvs data or with.cvs (for sp) and .acs for environmental data.

Question1:
In term of efficiency or stability is one format of the environmental layer better than the other?

Question2:
If I run MaxEnt with .acs environmental data, does it matter if my species.csv file contains environmental data for each sighting?

Question3:
If I run MaxEent with .csv environmental data, does it matter if my species.csv file contains or not environmental data for each sighting?

Question4:
When I run MaxEntwith only .csv file, how can I map the result?

thanks for your help,

Marjolaine

Q1:
Nope, no difference. But if you had predictor values at different time periods for each point, for example, SWD is the only format you could use.

Q2 and Q3:
With SWD, you need a table of coordinates and predictor values. For asc input, you just need coordinates.

Q4:
If using maxent.jar, simply check the appropriatrle settings box and you will get an image of the prediction in the output html file. Maxent should also make a prediction asc file for you.
