Predictive modeling of microhabitats for endemic birds in South Chilean temperate forests using Maximum entropy (Maxent)

► We model microhabitat selection for endangered and endemic birds in temperate forests. ► We use GIS and Maxent model. ► Topographic variables predict distribution for Pteroptochos tarnii. ► Eugralla paradoxa required both topographic and environmental variables. ► This microhabitat selection results can be included in forest conservation plans.
