This data layer depicts the classified mean habitat suitability for Clavularia from habitat suitability models predicting the spatial distribution of Clavularia offshore of the continental U.S. West Coast to 1200 m depth. The mean predicted habitat suitability from 100 models fit to bootstrap samples of the occurrence data was classified into a map with four habitat suitability classes ('very low', 'low', 'medium', 'high') using a series of breakpoints identified through receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. See the study technical report (Poti et al. 2020) for details. |
