“…Many SDMs have been widely used, such as maximum entropy theory (MaxEnt), Random Forest (RF), Boosted Regression Tree (BRT), Bioclim, Generalized Linear Model (GLM) and CLIMEX (CL) ( Booth et al., 2014 ; Duan et al., 2014 ; Shabani et al., 2016 ). Among these SDMs, MaxEnt, proposed based on the maximum entropy theory, offers superior accuracy and reproducibility, at the same time, it is easier to operate and does not require expensive computing resources ( Ahmadi et al., 2023 ; Norberto et al., 2023 ). Hence, MaxEnt is highly regarded by researchers and many habitat predictions of plants and animals are made using it in recent years, such as Agastache rugosa, soybean, Hylomecon japonica, Buckwheat, Scutellaria baicalensis, and Rainfed Maize, etc ( Pearson et al., 2006 ; Kogo et al., 2019 ; Xu et al., 2020 ; Wen et al., 2021 ; Cuddington et al., 2022 ; Gong et al., 2022 ; Wang et al., 2023 ).…”
