Figure 2. Methods flowchart. Occurrence data forCryptotis mexicanus and other small non-volant mammal localities for the target-group (TG) background are obtained (yellow). Monthly temperature and precipitation are used to create bioclimatic variables (ENVS) at several temporal resolutions (blue). Darker colours correspond to the standard 30-year average approach (STA), while lighter colours correspond to time-matched approaches (T01, T05, T10). Bioclimatic values are extracted to create a sample with data (SWD) file to run a MaxEnt model to select the best model for each approach (green). Occurrence data are partitioned using repeated cross-validation to obtain 1000 model iterations for each approach (purple). Model comparisons of each temporal resolution are performed against the standard 30-year average models (dashed lines).
