This is essential for conservation planning, invasive species management, and understanding climate-driven range shifts. Existing tools like MaxEnt require manual parameter tuning per species and produce non-reproducible results across software versions and machines. We present EcoNiche, a fully automated, reproducible SDM skill that enables AI agents to predict habitat suitability for any species with ≥20 GBIF occurrence records in a single command.\n\n## How Is It Done Today\n\nThe standard approach combines:\n- GBIF occurrence data query and deduplication\n- WorldClim bioclimatic variables download\n- Pseudo-absence background sampling\n- Machine learning classifier (Random Forest or MaxEnt)\n- Model evaluation (AUC-ROC, cross-validation)\n- Geographic projection and visualization\n\nHowever, implementation varies widely: different tools produce different results for the same input data, parameter sensitivity requires extensive tuning, and reproducibility is difficult to achieve across machines and versions.\n\n## What Is New\n\nEcoNiche delivers:\n1. **Complete automation:** Single command runs the full pipeline from species name to habitat map\n2. **Deterministic reproducibility:** Seeded RNG + pinned environment = bit-identical results across any machine\n3. **Zero manual tuning:** Identical default parameters work across 491 species spanning 19 taxonomic groups\n4. **Rich temporal projections:** Future climate (CMIP6, 4 SSPs × 9 GCMs × 4 periods) and paleoclimate (PaleoClim, 11 periods spanning 3.3 Ma)\n5. **Multi-format output:** PNG maps, JSON metrics, interactive HTML map, and archived occurrence data for reproducibility\n6. **Agent-ready:** Structured YAML metadata, JSON results, and step-by-step instructions enable autonomous execution\n\n## Who Cares\n\n- **Conservation biologists:** Rapidly assess range vulnerability under climate change\n- **Invasive species managers:** Predict suitable habitat for early detection and control\n- **Biodiversity informatics:** Automate habitat modeling across thousands of species\n- **AI agents:** Execute reproducible ecological analysis without domain expertise\n- **Educators:** Teach SDM methodology through a fully self-contained, executable example\n\n## Cross-Taxon Validation\n\nEcoNiche was validated on **491 species across 19 taxonomic groups** spanning terrestrial, freshwater, marine, and semi-aquatic habitats across all continents. Results:\n\n- **Pass rate:** 100% (all AUC > 0.7)\n- **Mean AUC-ROC:** 0.975 (range 0.722–0.9995)\n- **Median AUC-ROC:** 0.982\n- **Excellent models (AUC > 0.9):** 98.6% of species (484/491)\n\nExternal ground-truthing against IUCN Red List ranges (491 species):\n- Sensitivity: 0.930 (correctly identifies 93% of IUCN range countries)\n- Adjacency-corrected F1: 0.626 (accounts for border spillover, expected for climate models)\n- Continental F1: 0.696 (eliminates border effects entirely)\n\n## Head-to-Head Benchmark\n\nEcoNiche was benchmarked against MaxEnt (elapid implementation) on 10 species spanning 6 taxonomic groups, using identical GBIF occurrence data and bioclimatic variables:\n\n| Metric | EcoNiche (RF) | MaxEnt | Δ | p-value |\n|--------|--------------|--------|---|---------|\n| Mean Adj. F1 (IUCN) | 0.805 | 0.785 | +0.020 | > 0.05 (n.s.) |\n| Species won (10 total) | 7/10 | 2/10 | — | — |\n| Parameter tuning required | None | Per-species | — | — |\n| Bit-identical reproducibility | Yes | No | — | — |\n\n**Interpretation:** EcoNiche and MaxEnt are statistically indistinguishable on external geographic validation. EcoNiche's advantage is reproducibility, automation, and zero manual tuning.\n\n## Risks and Limitations\n\n1. **Climate-only model:** Habitat is constrained by many factors beyond climate (land cover, biotic interactions, dispersal barriers). EcoNiche predicts climate suitability, not confirmed presence.\n2. **GBIF bias:** Occurrence records are biased toward accessible, well-studied areas. SDM outputs reflect data collection effort.\n3. **Spatial autocorrelation:** Standard train-test splits do not account for spatial clustering. Cross-validation AUC estimates may be inflated. Spatially blocked CV is documented as future work.\n4. **Species threshold:** Requires ≥20 GBIF records. Well-surveyed vertebrates and plants meet this; rare taxa may fall below it.\n\n## How Do We Check for Success\n\n1. **Model quality:** AUC-ROC > 0.7 on held-out test data (achieved: 100% pass rate, mean 0.975)\n2. **Reproducibility:** Identical seed + pinned environment = bit-identical AUC, CV folds, and data hash across runs\n3. **Generalization:** Validated across 491 species; externally ground-truthed against IUCN ranges\n4. **Benchmark:** Comparable geographic accuracy to MaxEnt on 10 species (Adj. F1 0.805 vs 0.785, p > 0.05)\n5. **Agent execution:** SKILL.md structured for autonomous parsing and execution with clear success criteria\n\n## Design Decisions\n\n- **Random Forest over MaxEnt:** Same external validation performance, deterministic with seeded RNG, easier to parallelize, fewer tuning parameters\n- **8 bioclimatic variables:** Commonly used in SDM literature, low inter-correlation, interpretable\n- **3:1 pseudo-absence ratio:** Standard in conservation SDM, follows Phillips et al. (2009)\n- **TSS-optimized threshold:** Maximizes True Skill Statistic for ecologically meaningful binary habitat classification (Allouche et al. 2006)\n- **Pinned environment:** Guarantees bit-identical reproducibility; flexible requirements.txt allows compatible upgrades with numerical differences\n- **JSON output format:** Machine-readable results enable agent parsing and automated metric extraction\n\n## Conclusion\n\nEcoNiche demonstrates that reproducibility and automation need not compromise scientific rigor. By adopting seeded determinism, pinned dependencies, and zero-tuning defaults, we deliver a tool that is simultaneously more reliable, more accessible, and as accurate as the dominant manual-tuning alternatives. Validation across 491 species and external ground-truthing establish that EcoNiche is production-ready for conservation, research, and autonomous agent-driven ecological analysis.\n\n## References\n\nAllouche, O., Tsoar, A., & Kadmon, R.

An agent can extract\nand execute without any external files.\n\nA complete, reproducible pipeline for modeling the geographic distribution of any species.\nGiven a species name, EcoNiche queries GBIF for occurrence records, downloads WorldClim\nbioclimatic variables, trains a Random Forest classifier on presence vs. pseudo-absence data,\nevaluates model performance, and generates a habitat suitability map.\n\nThis follows the standard Species Distribution Modeling (SDM) methodology used in thousands\nof published ecology and conservation biology papers (Elith et al. 2006; Franklin 2010).\n\n## When to Use This Skill\n\nUse EcoNiche when the user wants to:\n\n- Model or predict the geographic distribution of any species\n- Create a habitat suitability map\n- Assess what environmental factors drive a species' range\n- Compare habitat requirements across species\n- Support conservation planning or IUCN Red List assessments\n- Study invasive species range or potential spread\n- Analyze climate-driven range shifts (future or paleoclimate)\n- Run multi-GCM ensemble projections for uncertainty quantification\n\n## Prerequisites\n\nThe pipeline requires Python 3.8+ and the following packages:\n\n```bash\npip install pygbif rasterio numpy pandas scikit-learn matplotlib requests Pillow\n```\n\nAll packages have pre-built wheels and install without system-level dependencies.\n\n---\n\n## Execution Steps (for automated runners)\n\nFollow these exact steps to execute the skill. Each step includes the command, expected\nbehavior, and verification.\n\nAfter running Steps 0-2 (setup, install, execute), validate results with `validate.py` (Steps 3-4):\n```bash\npython validate.py --reproducibility\n```\nThis command validates outputs, checks model quality (AUC > 0.7), and\nverifies bit-identical reproducibility across runs. Exit code 0 = all checks pass.\n\n### Step 0: Extract source files (if not already present)\n\n**If `econiche_pipeline.py` already exists** (e.g., the full repository is cloned), skip to Step 1.\n\n**Otherwise,** extract the four source files from the [Embedded Source Code](#embedded-source-code)\nappendix at the end of this SKILL.md. The appendix contains four fenced code blocks labeled\n`econiche_pipeline.py`, `validate.py`, `requirements.txt`, and `requirements-pinned.txt`.\nWrite each block to a file with the corresponding name in the current working directory.\n\nAutomated extraction (Python):\n```bash\npython3 -c \"\nimport re, pathlib\nskill = pathlib.Path('SKILL.md').read_text()\n# Extract all embedded files between <!-- BEGIN filename --> and <!-- END filename -->\nfor m in re.finditer(r'<!-- BEGIN (\\S+) -->\\n\\`\\`\\`\\w*\\n(.*?)\\n\\`\\`\\`\\n<!-- END', skill, re.DOTALL):\n    fname, content = m.group(1), m.group(2)\n    pathlib.Path(fname).write_text(content + '\\n')\n    print(f'Extracted {fname} ({len(content)} bytes)')\nprint('All source files extracted.')\n\"\n```\n\n**Verify:** `ls econiche_pipeline.py validate.py requirements.txt requirements-pinned.txt` succeeds.\n\n### Step 1: Install dependencies\n\n```bash\npip install -r requirements-pinned.txt || pip install -r requirements-pinned.txt --break-system-packages\n```\n\nThis installs exact pinned versions, guaranteeing **bit-identical reproduction** across machines.\n\n**Alternatively**, for convenience (allows newer compatible versions but may produce\nnumerically different results):\n```bash\npip install -r requirements.txt || pip install -r requirements.txt --break-system-packages\n```\n\n**Why the fallback:** The `--break-system-packages` fallback is\nneeded only on systems with externally-managed Python (e.g., Debian 12+, Ubuntu 23.04+).\n\n**Verify:** Exit code 0. Output contains \"Successfully installed\" or \"already satisfied\".\n\n### Step 2: Run the pipeline (default: Jaguar)\n\n```bash\npython econiche_pipeline.py\n```\n\n**Verify:** Exit code 0. Output contains \"PIPELINE COMPLETE\". Typical runtime: 60-180 seconds.\n\n**If GBIF or WorldClim is unreachable:** If the full repository is available, pre-computed\noutputs are in `examples/jaguar_ssp585_demo/` and `examples/jaguar_lgm_demo/`. To validate\nthe skill using cached results without network access:\n```bash\npython validate.py --output-dir examples/jaguar_ssp585_demo\n```\n\n### Step 3: Validate outputs\n\n```bash\npython validate.py --output-dir econiche_outputs\n```\n\n**Verify:** Output contains \"VALIDATION PASSED\". The script checks:\n- All 8 required files exist with minimum sizes (50 KB for images, 1 KB+ for data)\n- `results_summary.json` and `config_used.json` are valid JSON\n- `model_performance.auc_roc` > 0.7\n\n**Manual alternative** (if you prefer to inspect individually):\n```bash\npython -c \"\nimport json, os\nr = json.load(open('econiche_outputs/results_summary.json'))\nauc = r['model_performance']['auc_roc']\ncv  = r['model_performance']['cv_auc_mean']\ntss = r['model_performance']['optimal_tss']\nprint(f'AUC-ROC = {auc:.4f}  |  CV AUC = {cv:.4f}  |  TSS = {tss:.3f}')\nassert auc > 0.7, f'AUC {auc} below 0.7'\nprint('MODEL QUALITY VERIFIED')\n\"\n```\n\n### Step 4: Verify reproducibility\n\n```bash\npython validate.py --output-dir econiche_outputs --reproducibility\n```\n\nThis re-runs the pipeline to `econiche_outputs_rerun/` and asserts bit-identical\nAUC, CV folds, and SHA-256 data hashes across runs.\n\n**Verify:** Output contains \"VALIDATION PASSED\" with reproducibility checks included.\n\n**Manual alternative:**\n```bash\npython econiche_pipeline.py --output-dir econiche_outputs_rerun\npython -c \"\nimport json\nr1 = json.load(open('econiche_outputs/results_summary.json'))\nr2 = json.load(open('econiche_outputs_rerun/results_summary.json'))\nassert r1['model_performance']['auc_roc'] == r2['model_performance']['auc_roc'], 'AUC mismatch'\nassert r1['model_performance']['cv_auc_folds'] == r2['model_performance']['cv_auc_folds'], 'CV mismatch'\nassert r1['reproducibility']['occurrence_data_hash'] == r2['reproducibility']['occurrence_data_hash'], 'Hash mismatch'\nprint('REPRODUCIBILITY VERIFIED: identical AUC, CV folds, and data hash')\n\"\n```\n\n### Step 5 (optional): Run with a different species\n\n```bash\npython econiche_pipeline.py --species \"bald eagle\" --bbox -130 -60 20 60 --output-dir eagle_sdm\npython validate.py --output-dir eagle_sdm\n```\n\n**Verify:** Common name \"bald eagle\" resolves to *Haliaeetus leucocephalus*. Validation passes.\n\n### Step 6 (optional): Future climate projection\n\n```bash\npython econiche_pipeline.py \\\n  --species \"Panthera onca\" \\\n  --future-ssp 585 \\\n  --future-period 2061-2080 \\\n  --output-dir jaguar_climate_shift\n```\n\n**Verify:** Exit code 0. `jaguar_climate_shift/range_change_projection.png` exists (> 50 KB).\n\n### Step 7 (optional): Paleoclimate hindcast\n\n```bash\npython econiche_pipeline.py \\\n  --species \"Panthera onca\" \\\n  --paleo-period LGM \\\n  --output-dir jaguar_lgm\n```\n\n**Verify:** Exit code 0. `jaguar_lgm/paleo_range_comparison.png` exists (> 50 KB).\n\n---\n\n## Output Files\n\nThe default run (Jaguar, *Panthera onca*) produces these files in `econiche_outputs/`:\n\n| File | Description |\n|------|-------------|\n| `habitat_suitability_map.png` | Predicted habitat suitability across the study area |\n| `model_evaluation.png` | ROC curve, variable importance, confusion matrix, partial dependence |\n| `occurrence_map.png` | Raw GBIF occurrence records plotted on map |\n| `occurrences.csv` | Archived GBIF occurrence data (for exact reproduction) |\n| `results_summary.json` | All metrics, parameters, reproducibility metadata + data hash |\n| `results_report.md` | Human-readable summary report with projection stats |\n| `config_used.json` | Exact configuration used (for reproduction) |\n| `interactive_map.html` | Interactive Leaflet map --- zoom, pan, toggle layers in any browser |\n| `range_change_projection.png` | *(if `--future-ssp` used)* Current vs. future suitability + range change map |\n| `paleo_range_comparison.png` | *(if `--paleo-period` used)* Past vs. current suitability + range change map |\n| `ensemble_gcm_summary.png` | *(if `--ensemble` used)* GCM agreement map + ensemble mean suitability |\n| `ensemble_gcm_summary.json` | *(if `--ensemble` used)* Per-GCM range change stats + ensemble statistics |\n| `temporal_animation.gif` | *(if `--animate` used)* Animated suitability through time |\n\n---\n\n# Reference Appendix\n\nEverything below this line is reference documentation --- not required for basic execution.\nAgents: if you only need to run the skill, stop at the Execution Steps above.\n\n---\n\n## Species Name Input\n\nEcoNiche accepts species names in three formats:\n\n### Common Names\n\nUse everyday English names --- the pipeline searches GBIF's vernacular name database and\nauto-resolves to the correct Latin binomial. When multiple species share a common name\n(e.g., \"jaguar\" matches both the cat and a catfish), the pipeline picks the most likely\nmatch (vertebrates prioritized) and lists alternatives for reference.\n\n```bash\npython econiche_pipeline.py --species \"bald eagle\" --bbox -130 -60 20 60\npython econiche_pipeline.py --species \"polar bear\" --bbox -180 180 40 85\npython econiche_pipeline.py --species \"snow leopard\" --bbox 60 110 20 55\n```\n\n### Multi-Species (Comma-Separated)\n\nModel multiple species in one run. Each gets its own subdirectory with full outputs,\nplus a group summary JSON. Supports mixing common and Latin names.\n\n```bash\npython econiche_pipeline.py \\\n  --species \"Panthera onca, Panthera pardus, snow leopard\" \\\n  --bbox -180 180 -40 60 \\\n  --output-dir big_cats_sdm\n```\n\n### Taxonomic Groups\n\nUse `--group` with a genus, family, or order name to model all member species.\nEach accepted species in the group is modeled independently with its own outputs.\n\n```bash\n# All species in genus Panthera (lion, tiger, jaguar, leopard, etc.)\npython econiche_pipeline.py \\\n  --group \"Panthera\" \\\n  --bbox -180 180 -40 60 \\\n  --output-dir panthera_genus\n\n# All species in family Ursidae (bears)\npython econiche_pipeline.py \\\n  --group \"Ursidae\" \\\n  --bbox -180 180 -60 85 \\\n  --output-dir bears_sdm\n```\n\n**Note:** Fossil/extinct species in a group will be automatically skipped if they\nhave no GBIF occurrence records. Species with fewer than 20 records are also skipped\nby default (adjustable via `--min-occurrences` or config).\n\n## Climate Change Projections\n\nEcoNiche can project how a species' suitable habitat will shift under future climate\nscenarios using CMIP6 downscaled data from WorldClim. The model trained on current\nclimate is used to predict suitability under projected future conditions, producing a\nthree-panel comparison: current suitability, future suitability, and a range change map\nshowing areas of habitat gain, loss, and stability.\n\n```bash\n# Jaguar range shift under high-emission scenario, 2061-2080\npython econiche_pipeline.py \\\n  --species \"Panthera onca\" \\\n  --future-ssp 585 \\\n  --future-period 2061-2080 \\\n  --output-dir jaguar_climate_shift\n\n# Iberian lynx under moderate scenario, mid-century\npython econiche_pipeline.py \\\n  --species \"Lynx pardinus\" \\\n  --bbox -10 5 35 44 \\\n  --future-ssp 245 \\\n  --future-period 2041-2060 \\\n  --output-dir lynx_climate_shift\n\n# Giant panda with a different climate model\npython econiche_pipeline.py \\\n  --species \"Ailuropoda melanoleuca\" \\\n  --bbox 95 125 20 45 \\\n  --future-ssp 370 \\\n  --future-period 2061-2080 \\\n  --future-gcm BCC-CSM2-MR \\\n  --output-dir panda_climate_shift\n```\n\n### Available Scenarios\n\n| SSP | Name | Description |\n|-----|------|-------------|\n| `126` | SSP1-2.6 | Sustainability --- low emissions, ~1.8 C warming by 2100 |\n| `245` | SSP2-4.5 | Middle of the road --- moderate emissions, ~2.7 C warming |\n| `370` | SSP3-7.0 | Regional rivalry --- high emissions, ~3.6 C warming |\n| `585` | SSP5-8.5 | Fossil-fueled development --- very high emissions, ~4.4 C warming |\n\n### Available Time Periods\n\n`2021-2040`, `2041-2060`, `2061-2080`, `2081-2100`\n\n### Available Climate Models (GCMs)\n\nBCC-CSM2-MR, CanESM5, CNRM-CM6-1, CNRM-ESM2-1, GFDL-ESM4, IPSL-CM6A-LR,\nMIROC-ES2L, MIROC6 (default), MRI-ESM2-0\n\nUsing the default GCM (MIROC6) is recommended unless you have a specific reason to\nprefer a different model. For robust results, consider running multiple GCMs and\ncomparing projections.\n\n### Understanding the Range Change Map\n\nThe three-panel output (`range_change_projection.png`) shows:\n\n1. **Current suitability** (1970--2000 climate baseline)\n2. **Future suitability** (projected under the selected SSP/period/GCM)\n3. **Range change** with four categories:\n   - **Green** --- Stable suitable habitat (present in both current and future)\n   - **Blue** --- Gained habitat (unsuitable now, suitable in future)\n   - **Red** --- Lost habitat (suitable now, unsuitable in future)\n   - **Grey** --- Stable unsuitable\n\nThe `results_summary.json` includes quantitative range change statistics: counts of\ngained/lost/stable cells and percentage change in total suitable area.\n\n## Paleoclimate Hindcasts\n\nEcoNiche can also project habitat suitability backward in time using paleoclimate\nreconstructions from PaleoClim (Brown et al. 2018). These reconstructions are based\non the HadCM3 general circulation model, downscaled to match WorldClim resolution.\nAvailable periods span the last 3.3 million years.\n\n```bash\n# Jaguar habitat during the Last Glacial Maximum (~21,000 years ago)\npython econiche_pipeline.py \\\n  --species \"Panthera onca\" \\\n  --paleo-period LGM \\\n  --output-dir jaguar_lgm\n\n# Iberian lynx during the Mid Holocene (~8,000-4,200 years ago)\npython econiche_pipeline.py \\\n  --species \"Lynx pardinus\" \\\n  --bbox -10 5 35 44 \\\n  --paleo-period MH \\\n  --output-dir lynx_holocene\n\n# Giant panda during the Last Interglacial (~130,000 years ago)\npython econiche_pipeline.py \\\n  --species \"Ailuropoda melanoleuca\" \\\n  --bbox 95 125 20 45 \\\n  --paleo-period LIG \\\n  --output-dir panda_interglacial\n```\n\n### Available Paleoclimate Periods\n\n| Code | Period | Time (years BP) |\n|------|--------|-----------------|\n| `LH` | Late Holocene | 4,200-300 |\n| `MH` | Mid Holocene | 8,326-4,200 |\n| `EH` | Early Holocene | 11,700-8,326 |\n| `YDS` | Younger Dryas Stadial | 12,900-11,700 |\n| `BA` | Bolling-Allerod | 14,700-12,900 |\n| `HS1` | Heinrich Stadial 1 | 17,000-14,700 |\n| `LGM` | Last Glacial Maximum | ~21,000 |\n| `LIG` | Last Interglacial | ~130,000 |\n| `MIS19` | Marine Isotope Stage 19 | ~787,000 |\n| `mpwp` | Mid-Pliocene Warm Period | ~3,300,000 |\n| `m2` | M2 Glaciation | ~3,300,000 |\n\n### Understanding the Paleo Range Comparison\n\nThe three-panel output (`paleo_range_comparison.png`) shows:\n\n1. **Past suitability** (paleoclimate reconstruction)\n2. **Current suitability** (1970-2000 climate baseline) with GBIF occurrence records\n3. **Range change** (past to current) with four categories:\n   - **Green** --- Stable suitable habitat (suitable in both past and present)\n   - **Blue** --- Gained habitat (unsuitable in past, suitable now)\n   - **Red** --- Lost habitat (suitable in past, unsuitable now)\n   - **Grey** --- Stable unsuitable\n\n**Note:** You cannot use `--future-ssp` and `--paleo-period` in the same run.\nRun them as separate analyses if you want both temporal directions.\n\n### Paleoclimate Data Source\n\nPaleoClim v1 (Brown, J.L. et al. 2018. PaleoClim: high spatial resolution\npaleoclimate surfaces for global land areas. *Scientific Data*, 5, 180254).\nData is freely available at 10 arc-minute resolution, no authentication required.\n\n## Running for a Different Species\n\n### Option 1: Command-line arguments\n\n```bash\n# Giant panda in China\npython econiche_pipeline.py \\\n  --species \"Ailuropoda melanoleuca\" \\\n  --bbox 95 125 20 45 \\\n  --grid-resolution 0.25 \\\n  --output-dir panda_sdm\n\n# Iberian lynx in Iberian Peninsula\npython econiche_pipeline.py \\\n  --species \"Lynx pardinus\" \\\n  --bbox -10 5 35 44 \\\n  --grid-resolution 0.1 \\\n  --output-dir lynx_sdm\n\n# African elephant across sub-Saharan Africa\npython econiche_pipeline.py \\\n  --species \"Loxodonta africana\" \\\n  --bbox -20 55 -35 20 \\\n  --output-dir elephant_sdm\n```\n\n### Option 2: JSON configuration file\n\nCreate a file `my_config.json`:\n\n```json\n{\n  \"species_name\": \"Ailuropoda melanoleuca\",\n  \"min_longitude\": 95,\n  \"max_longitude\": 125,\n  \"min_latitude\": 20,\n  \"max_latitude\": 45,\n  \"random_seed\": 42,\n  \"n_pseudo_absence_ratio\": 3,\n  \"bioclim_indices\": [1, 4, 5, 6, 12, 13, 14, 15],\n  \"grid_resolution_deg\": 0.25,\n  \"n_trees\": 500,\n  \"output_dir\": \"panda_sdm\"\n}\n```\n\nThen run:\n\n```bash\npython econiche_pipeline.py --config my_config.json\n```\n\n## All Command-Line Arguments\n\n| Argument | Type | Description | Default |\n|----------|------|-------------|---------|\n| `--species` | string | Species name --- Latin, common, or comma-separated list | Panthera onca |\n| `--group` | string | Taxonomic group (genus/family/order) to model all members | None |\n| `--bbox` | 4 floats | Study area: MIN_LON MAX_LON MIN_LAT MAX_LAT (degrees) | -120 -30 -40 30 |\n| `--seed` | int | Random seed for reproducibility | 42 |\n| `--output-dir` | string | Where to save outputs | econiche_outputs |\n| `--grid-resolution` | float | Prediction grid spacing (degrees) | 0.5 |\n| `--pseudo-absence-ratio` | int | Background points per presence point | 3 |\n| `--n-trees` | int | Number of Random Forest trees | 500 |\n| `--max-occurrences` | int | Maximum GBIF records to retrieve | 3000 |\n| `--min-occurrences` | int | Minimum GBIF records required (skip species below this) | 20 |\n| `--config` | path | Path to JSON config file | None |\n| `--future-ssp` | choice | CMIP6 SSP scenario: 126, 245, 370, or 585 | None |\n| `--future-period` | string | Future time period (e.g. 2041-2060) | 2041-2060 (if ssp set) |\n| `--future-gcm` | string | CMIP6 climate model name | MIROC6 |\n| `--paleo-period` | choice | Paleoclimate period code (see table above) | None |\n| `--ensemble` | flag | Run all 9 GCMs and produce agreement/mean maps | False |\n| `--animate` | flag | Generate animated GIF across all time periods | False |\n\n## Understanding the Outputs\n\n### Habitat Suitability Map (`habitat_suitability_map.png`)\n\nA geographic map where each grid cell is colored by predicted suitability (0 = unsuitable,\n1 = highly suitable). Red dots show actual GBIF occurrence records. Country borders provide\ngeographic context. The colormap runs from white (low suitability) through yellow-green to\ndark green (high suitability). Ocean/nodata areas appear as light blue.\n\n**How to interpret:** High-suitability areas (dark green) represent locations where the\ncombination of bioclimatic conditions is most similar to where the species has been observed.\nThese are predicted suitable habitat, not confirmed presence.\n\n### Model Evaluation (`model_evaluation.png`)\n\nSix panels (2 rows x 3 columns):\n\n1. **ROC Curve:** Plots true positive rate vs. false positive rate. AUC (area under curve)\n   measures discrimination ability. AUC > 0.8 indicates good model performance; > 0.9 is\n   excellent. The optimal threshold point (maximizing TSS) is marked with a red dot.\n\n2. **Feature Importance:** Horizontal bar chart showing which bioclimatic variables contribute\n   most to predictions. Both impurity-based (from tree splits) and permutation-based (from\n   shuffling features) importance are shown. Permutation importance is more reliable when\n   features are correlated.\n\n3. **Confusion Matrix:** Counts of correctly and incorrectly classified test samples at the\n   TSS-optimized probability threshold.\n\n4--6. **Partial Dependence Plots:** For the top 3 most important variables, showing how each\n   variable individually affects predicted suitability.\n\n### Results Summary (`results_summary.json`)\n\nStructured JSON containing all parameters, metrics, and metadata needed to reproduce the\nanalysis. Key fields for automated parsing:\n\n```\nresults_summary.json\n  .model_performance.auc_roc          -> float (primary metric, higher is better)\n  .model_performance.cv_auc_mean      -> float (cross-validated AUC, more robust)\n  .model_performance.optimal_threshold -> float (TSS-optimized probability cutoff)\n  .model_performance.optimal_tss      -> float (True Skill Statistic at threshold)\n  .feature_importance.permutation_based -> dict (variable -> importance score)\n  .range_change.current_suitable_km2  -> float (if temporal projection)\n  .range_change.future_suitable_km2   -> float (if temporal projection)\n  .range_change.gained_km2            -> float (if temporal projection)\n  .range_change.lost_km2              -> float (if temporal projection)\n  .range_change.pct_change            -> float (if temporal projection)\n  .reproducibility.occurrence_data_hash -> string (SHA-256 of occurrence dataset)\n  .reproducibility.software_versions  -> dict (package -> version)\n```\n\n### Interactive Map (`interactive_map.html`)\n\nA self-contained HTML file with an interactive Leaflet.js map. Open it in any browser to:\n\n- Zoom and pan across the study area on an OpenStreetMap basemap\n- Toggle the suitability heatmap layer on/off\n- Toggle GBIF occurrence point markers on/off\n- Click any cell or point for a popup with suitability value or coordinates\n\nNo additional software or server required --- it's a single HTML file with embedded data.\n\n### Optimized Threshold\n\nInstead of using a fixed 0.5 probability cutoff, EcoNiche computes the threshold\nthat maximizes the True Skill Statistic (TSS = sensitivity + specificity - 1),\nfollowing Allouche et al. (2006). This threshold is used for:\n\n- Binary suitable/unsuitable classification in range change maps\n- Confusion matrix in the evaluation figure\n- All area calculations\n\nThe optimal threshold and TSS value are reported in `results_summary.json` under\n`model_performance.optimal_threshold` and `model_performance.optimal_tss`.\n\n### Area in km2\n\nAll range change statistics include area estimates in km2, accounting for\nlatitude-dependent cell size (cells shrink toward the poles). Look for fields like\n`current_suitable_km2`, `future_suitable_km2`, `gained_km2`, `lost_km2` in the\n`results_summary.json`.\n\n### Multi-GCM Ensemble (`--ensemble`)\n\nWhen using `--future-ssp` with `--ensemble`, EcoNiche runs all 9 available GCMs\nand produces:\n\n- **Agreement map**: How many of 9 GCMs predict suitability at each cell (robust\n  areas where all models agree vs. uncertain areas where models disagree)\n- **Ensemble mean suitability**: Average predicted suitability across all GCMs\n- **Per-GCM statistics**: Range change percentage for each GCM, plus ensemble\n  mean and standard deviation\n\n```bash\npython econiche_pipeline.py \\\n  --species \"Panthera onca\" \\\n  --future-ssp 585 --future-period 2061-2080 \\\n  --ensemble \\\n  --output-dir jaguar_ensemble\n```\n\n### Temporal Animation (`--animate`)\n\nGenerates an animated GIF showing habitat suitability across multiple time periods.\n\n- With `--future-ssp`: cycles through Current -> 2021-2040 -> 2041-2060 -> 2061-2080 -> 2081-2100\n- With `--paleo-period`: cycles through all 11 paleo periods (oldest to most recent) plus current\n- `--animate` alone: produces a paleo animation\n- `--animate` combined with `--ensemble`: animates the single default GCM across time periods\n\n```bash\n# Paleo animation: 3.3 Ma to present\npython econiche_pipeline.py \\\n  --species \"Panthera onca\" \\\n  --paleo-period LGM --animate \\\n  --output-dir jaguar_paleo_animation\n\n# Future animation: current through 2100 under SSP5-8.5\npython econiche_pipeline.py \\\n  --species \"Panthera onca\" \\\n  --future-ssp 585 --animate \\\n  --output-dir jaguar_future_animation\n```\n\nRequires Pillow (`pip install Pillow`). The GIF plays at 1.5 seconds per frame.\n\n## Bioclimatic Variables\n\nThe default configuration uses 8 of the 19 WorldClim bioclimatic variables --- those most\ncommonly used in SDM literature and least correlated with each other:\n\n| Code | Variable | Ecological Meaning |\n|------|----------|--------------------|\n| BIO1 | Annual Mean Temperature | Overall thermal regime |\n| BIO4 | Temperature Seasonality | How much temperature varies across the year |\n| BIO5 | Max Temp of Warmest Month | Heat stress tolerance |\n| BIO6 | Min Temp of Coldest Month | Cold tolerance |\n| BIO12 | Annual Precipitation | Total water availability |\n| BIO13 | Precipitation of Wettest Month | Peak moisture availability |\n| BIO14 | Precipitation of Driest Month | Drought tolerance |\n| BIO15 | Precipitation Seasonality | Moisture regime predictability |\n\nTo use different variables, modify the `bioclim_indices` parameter. Valid indices are 1--19.\nSee `references/methodology.md` for descriptions of all 19 variables.\n\n## Troubleshooting\n\n| Error Message | Cause | Programmatic Recovery |\n|--------------|-------|----------------------|\n| \"Species not found in GBIF taxonomy\" | Misspelled name or unrecognized synonym | Try the Latin binomial instead of common name. If unknown, query GBIF API: `curl -s \"https://api.gbif.org/v1/species/suggest?q=QUERY\"` and use the first result's `canonicalName`. |\n| \"No valid occurrence records found\" | Species absent from bounding box | Re-run with expanded bbox: increase each bound by 20 degrees (e.g., `--bbox -140 -10 -60 50` instead of `-120 -30 -40 30`). Verify coordinate order is MIN_LON MAX_LON MIN_LAT MAX_LAT. |\n| \"Fewer pseudo-absences than presences\" | Study area is mostly ocean | Double the bounding box extent to include more land. Alternatively, reduce `--pseudo-absence-ratio` to 1. |\n| WorldClim download timeout | Network issue or transient server error | Retry the same command (cached partial downloads are discarded). On second failure, check network: `curl -sI https://geodata.ucdavis.edu`. The first run downloads ~70 MB; subsequent runs use cache. |\n| Low AUC (< 0.7) | Habitat generalist or insufficient data | Try: (1) expand the bounding box to capture the full range; (2) add more bioclim variables via config (`\"bioclim_indices\": [1,2,3,4,5,6,12,13,14,15]`); (3) check if occurrence count is < 50 in `results_summary.json` --- if so, the species may lack sufficient data. |\n| \"Too few occurrence records\" | Species has < 20 GBIF records in bbox | First try expanding `--bbox`. If that fails, lower the threshold: `--min-occurrences 10`. Note: results with < 20 records should be interpreted with caution. |\n\n## Methodology Summary\n\nFor detailed methodology, read `references/methodology.md`. In brief:\n\n1. **Occurrence data** from GBIF (Global Biodiversity Information Facility), deduplicated\n   at ~1 km resolution to reduce spatial sampling bias.\n\n2. **Pseudo-absence generation** via random background sampling within the study area,\n   with a minimum distance filter from presence points (Phillips et al. 2009).\n\n3. **Environmental predictors** from WorldClim 2.1 bioclimatic variables at 10 arc-minute\n   resolution (~18.5 km). These are derived from monthly temperature and precipitation\n   data for 1970--2000 (Fick & Hijmans 2017).\n\n4. **Random Forest** classification (Breiman 2001) with 500 trees, square-root feature\n   selection, and out-of-bag error estimation. Seeded for deterministic results.\n\n5. **Evaluation** via holdout test set (30%) and 5-fold stratified cross-validation.\n   Primary metric is AUC-ROC; secondary metrics include accuracy, OOB score, and both\n   impurity-based and permutation-based feature importance. **Caveat:** random\n   train-test splits do not account for spatial autocorrelation, which can inflate\n   AUC estimates. Spatially blocked cross-validation (Valavi et al. 2019) would give\n   more conservative estimates; this is a known limitation documented in\n   `references/methodology.md` Section 13.\n\n6. **Prediction** on a regular geographic grid at user-specified resolution, producing\n   a continuous habitat suitability surface (0--1 probability).\n\n7. **Threshold optimization** via True Skill Statistic (TSS; Allouche et al. 2006)\n   for ecologically meaningful binary habitat classification.\n\n8. **Area estimation** in km2 with latitude-dependent cell size correction using\n   spherical geometry.\n\n## Cross-Taxon Validation Summary\n\nEcoNiche has been validated on **491 species across 19 taxonomic groups** spanning\nterrestrial, freshwater, marine coastal, marine pelagic, and semi-aquatic habitats\non all inhabited continents. All runs used identical default parameters (seed 42,\n3:1 pseudo-absence ratio, 500 trees, 8 bioclim variables, 0.5° prediction grid).\n\n| Metric | Value |\n|--------|-------|\n| Total species tested | 491 |\n| Taxonomic groups | 19 |\n| Pass rate (AUC > 0.7) | 100% (491/491) |\n| Mean AUC-ROC | 0.975 |\n| Median AUC-ROC | 0.982 |\n| Species with AUC > 0.9 | 98.6% (484/491) |\n| Min AUC | 0.722 (*Ailuropoda melanoleuca*, 48 records) |\n| Max AUC | 0.9995 |\n\nFull per-species results in `references/cross_taxon_validation.md`,\n`references/cross_taxon_summary.json`, and `references/iucn_500_validation_results.json`.\n\n### External Ground-Truthing Against IUCN Ranges\n\nTo validate beyond internal AUC metrics, predicted suitability maps were compared against\nauthoritative IUCN Red List native range designations for all 491 species. Because EcoNiche\npredicts on a continuous climate grid with no concept of political boundaries, we apply three\ncomplementary country-agnostic metrics alongside the raw country-level comparison:\n\n| Metric | Country-Level | Adj-Corrected | Continental | Area Overlap |\n|--------|--------------|---------------|-------------|--------------|\n| Sensitivity | 0.930 | --- | 0.932 | --- |\n| Precision | 0.425 | 0.546 | 0.635 | --- |\n| F1 | 0.529 | 0.626 | 0.696 | 0.684 |\n\n**Adjacency-corrected:** 29.8% of false positive countries border an IUCN range country ---\nexpected behavior for a continuous climate model. Reclassifying these raises F1 from 0.529 to\n0.626 (+18%). **Continental concordance:** validates at continent level, eliminating border\neffects entirely (F1=0.696). **Area-weighted overlap:** weights by land area rather than\ncounting countries equally (68.4% overlap including spillover).\n\n**Sensitivity is strong:** 93% of IUCN-listed range countries are correctly identified across\n491 species. The remaining precision gap reflects the fundamental Grinnellian niche vs. realized\ndistribution distinction, plus model miscalibration and IUCN range incompleteness for\nundersampled taxa.\n\n**By habitat:** semi-aquatic species score highest (adj F1=0.678, area overlap=75.5%),\nterrestrial species are solid (adj F1=0.653, area overlap=69.1%), marine pelagic weakest\n(adj F1=0.434) but with excellent continental concordance (0.774). **By taxon:** amphibians\n(adj F1=0.772), reptiles (0.765), and birds (0.705) validate best; flatworms (0.307) and\nbryophytes (0.480) validate worst. Nineteen species achieved perfect F1=1.0.\n\nThe correlation between AUC and country-level F1 is r=−0.066, confirming that external\nground-truthing provides non-redundant validation.\n\nFull results in `references/iucn_500_agnostic_report.md` and\n`references/iucn_500_validation_results.json`.\n\n### Head-to-Head Benchmark Against MaxEnt\n\nTo contextualize EcoNiche against the dominant SDM tool, we benchmarked it head-to-head\nagainst MaxEnt (elapid Python implementation, chosen for Python ecosystem compatibility;\nresults may differ with maxent.jar or maxnet; linear + quadratic + hinge features, β=1.0)\non 10 species spanning 6 taxonomic groups and 3 habitat types. Both models received\nidentical inputs: same GBIF occurrences, same 8 bioclimatic variables, same bounding box,\nsame pseudo-absence sampling (3:1, seed 42).\n\n| Metric | EcoNiche (RF) | MaxEnt | Δ |\n|--------|--------------|--------|---|\n| Mean Adj. F1 (IUCN) | 0.805 | 0.785 | +0.020 |\n| Species won | 7/10 | 2/10 | --- |\n| Paired t-test | --- | --- | p > 0.05 (n.s.) |\n| Parameter tuning required | None | Per-species |\n| Bit-identical reproduction | Yes | Implementation-dependent |\n\n**Interpretation:** The two models are statistically indistinguishable on external\ngeographic validation (IUCN ranges). EcoNiche's training AUC (1.000) exceeds MaxEnt's\n(0.890), but this reflects Random Forest's known overfitting to training data, not\nsuperior prediction — external validation is the relevant comparison.\n\n**The differentiator is not accuracy — it's reproducibility and automation.** EcoNiche\nused identical default parameters for all 10 species (and all 491 species in the full\nvalidation) with zero manual tuning. MaxEnt in practice requires per-species decisions\nabout feature types, regularization, bias files, and background selection. EcoNiche is\nfully deterministic (seed=42); MaxEnt implementations vary across software versions\n(maxent.jar, maxnet, elapid). EcoNiche ran 491 species end-to-end with a single script;\nequivalent MaxEnt validation would require per-species configuration. Note that with\nn=10, this comparison has limited statistical power; a larger benchmark is planned for v1.1.\n\nFull results in `references/maxent_comparison_report.md`.\n\n## Data Sources and Licensing\n\n- **GBIF**: Open data under CC0, CC-BY, or CC-BY-NC licenses depending on dataset.\n  Free access, no authentication required. https://www.gbif.org/\n- **WorldClim 2.1**: Free for academic and non-commercial use.\n  Fick, S.E. & Hijmans, R.J.

F1: 0.805 vs 0.785, p > 0.05), demonstrating EcoNiche delivers MaxEnt-quality predictions with zero manual tuning\n- Full methodology reference in `references/methodology.md` with 15+ citations\n- Temporal projections use peer-reviewed climate data: CMIP6 (WorldClim) and PaleoClim (Brown et al. 2018)\n\n### Generalizability (15%)\n\n- Works for **species with ≥20 GBIF records** where climate is a plausible range-limiting factor --- mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, plants, insects, marine organisms. GBIF holds georeferenced records for over 2 million species (~8.7M estimated globally), but record density is highly uneven; the ≥20 threshold is most reliably met by vertebrates and vascular plants in well-surveyed regions\n- **Validated across 491 species spanning 19 taxonomic groups** --- 100% pass rate, mean AUC 0.975, 98.6% of species AUC > 0.9\n- **Externally ground-truthed against IUCN ranges** --- 491 species, 3 complementary metrics: adjacency-corrected F1 0.626, continental F1 0.696, area overlap 68.4%; 19 species with perfect F1=1.0\n- **Benchmarked against MaxEnt** --- comparable geographic accuracy on 10 species (Adj. F1: 0.805 vs 0.785, p > 0.05) with zero parameter tuning, versus MaxEnt's per-species configuration requirements\n- Accepts common names, Latin binomials, comma-separated lists, or taxonomic groups\n- Configurable study area (any bounding box on Earth), resolution, and bioclimatic variable selection\n- Temporal generalization: current climate (1970-2000), future (2021-2100 under 4 SSPs x 9 GCMs), past (300 ya to 3.3 Ma)\n- JSON config file support for batch automation and parameter sweeps\n- Multi-species and group modes for comparative analyses\n- **Cross-domain architecture:** The pattern (occurrence data + environmental rasters + classifier + temporal projection) transfers directly to disease ecology (vector-borne disease risk mapping), agricultural suitability (crop range under climate change), and urban ecology (heat island modeling) --- any domain where georeferenced observations meet gridded environmental data\n\n### Clarity for Agents (15%)\n\n- Structured YAML frontmatter with triggers, inputs, outputs, dependencies, and validation metadata\n- SKILL.md structured as agent instructions with numbered steps, exact commands, and machine-parseable verification blocks\n- Every CLI argument documented in a table with types, choices, and defaults\n- Every output file described with interpretation guidance\n- JSON path map for `results_summary.json` enables automated metric extraction\n- Interactive HTML map viewable in any browser --- no image parsing needed\n- Troubleshooting table covers common failure modes with causes and fixes\n- `results_summary.json` is fully machine-readable --- agents can parse metrics, km2 areas, and thresholds without reading images\n- Console output includes structured progress messages suitable for log parsing\n- Research note (`research_note.tex`) provides academic context for methodology decisions\n\n## File Structure\n\n**Minimum for execution (embedded in this SKILL.md):**\n```\neconiche_pipeline.py              # Complete pipeline (single file, ~3200 lines)\nvalidate.py                       # Executable validation script (Steps 3-4)\nrequirements.txt                  # Python dependencies (pip install -r)\n```\n\n**Full repository (if available):**\n```\neconiche/\n  SKILL.md                          # This file --- agent instructions + metadata + embedded source\n  research_note.tex                 # LaTeX research note (4 pages)\n  research_note.pdf                 # Compiled research note\n  scripts/\n    econiche_pipeline.py            # Complete pipeline (also embedded below)\n    validate.py                     # Validation script (also embedded below)\n  requirements.txt                  # Python dependencies (also embedded below)\n  references/\n    methodology.md                  # Detailed methodology reference (15 sections)\n    cross_taxon_validation.md       # 491-species validation across 19 taxonomic groups\n    cross_taxon_summary.json        # Raw validation results (machine-readable)\n    iucn_500_agnostic_report.md     # Country-agnostic IUCN ground-truth analysis (491 species)\n    iucn_500_validation_results.json # Per-species IUCN ground-truth data (machine-readable)\n    maxent_comparison_report.md     # Head-to-head EcoNiche vs MaxEnt benchmark (10 species)\n  examples/\n    jaguar_ssp585_demo/             # Pre-computed example: future projection\n    jaguar_lgm_demo/                # Pre-computed example: paleoclimate\n```\n\n## Citation\n\nIf using EcoNiche outputs in a publication, cite:\n\n> EcoNiche Species Distribution Model v1.0.
