Partial ROC results in model evaluations.

<p>Evaluation of niche models for AgV4 rabies in central Chile, using different calibration areas (quintiles and latitude subsetting), and comparing models developed with (Bias) and without (No bias) consideration of sampling bias.</p

Distribution map of rabies and its hosts.

<p>Maps of potential distribution of hosts (blue), rabies strains (red), and overlap of host-rabies distribution (purple).</p

Host and virus distributions in environmental spaces.

<p>Distribution of hosts (unfilled points) and corresponding rabies variants (black points) across the environments available in our study area (background; gray points), for <i>Tadarida brasiliensis</i> (left) and <i>Lasiurus cinereus</i> (right). Environmental variation was visualized as bivariate comparison of NDVI values for January (summer) and July (winter) in the southern hemisphere.</p

Bats submitted by municipality since 1985 to 2011.

<p>Sampling intensity of <i>Tadarida brasiliensis</i> bats by municipality, used as the sampling bias grid in Maxent analyses.</p

Histogram of <i>D</i> similarity values among random replicates in testing niche identity between rabies AgV4 and AgV6.

<p>Note that the observed value is well above the critical value in testing our null hypothesis of niche identity.</p

Results of niche identity tests assessing similarity between occurrences of <i>Tadarida brasiliensis</i> and <i>Lasiurus cinereus</i> and rabies strains AgV4 and AgV6.

Niche models from different areas validated in environmental space using NicheA. Calibration occurrences, areas, and environments (red; calibration in Figure 3) and validation occurrences, area, and environments (green; validation in Figure 3) are displayed in the environmental space. Background is represented by NDVI values for 2012 (gray points). Notice that the two ellipsoids overlap completely (100%)

Study area.

<p>Eleven study sites, grouped into four study areas in Southern Chile, between latitude 39°-45° S. Area 1, represents an Andean foothill ecosystem (1:Liquiñe, 2:Neltume, 3:Choshuenco, 4:Todos los Santos); area 2, represents a marine coastal ecosystem (5:Maullín, 7:Puyuhuapi, 8:Puerto Cisnes, 9:Rio-Cisnes); area 3, represents Southern Andean mountain valleys (6:Palena, 10:Rio-Cisnes-Alto); area 4, represents an island (11:Magdalena Island). Red: High degree of presence human-domestic cat. Orange: Medium degree of presence human-domestic cat. Green: Low degree of presence human-domestic cat.</p
