What to save, the host or the pest? The spatial distribution of xylophage insects within the Mediterranean oak woodlands of Southwestern Spain

The model performance was analyzed by K, TSS, and AUC, which gave accurate (K > 0.56; TSS > 0.59 & AUC > 0.87) to very accurate (K > 0.63; TSS > 0.64 & AUC > 0.89) results for the models developed only with dasometric variables and with the combination of climatic and dasometric variables, respectively. We found four main regions where the xylophage beetles occur in Andalusia and a larger area which satisfies the environmental requirements of these beetles. The current potential habitat suitability of the xylophage beetles might increase under future climate scenarios, which might enhance the dispersal, colonization, and establishment of new populations of xylophage beetles in Andalusia.
