Hello Maxent Community,

I have been generating SDM models and projections in Maxent. I have had some success with one set of variables (some Hydroshed variables mixed with World CLIM variables); however, I am having a bit of trouble with a model based solely on World CLIM variables.

I used a Peasron correlation matrix to select eight World CLIM variables, which model well with my species' occurrence data. The issue arises, when I ask Maxent to project on future World CLIM variables - the returned projection is almost entirely blue. There are a few specs of red and yellow (indicating prediction probabilities), but the vast majority of the projection is blue (indicating zero prediction probability). I tried rerunning the model with clamping turned off, but the problem persisted.

I am relatively novice with Maxent, so I was wondering if I am overlooking a setting that may help correct this issue. I am a bit confused, because when I ran the projection with the Hydroshed variables and some of the same World CLIM variables, the future projection looked just fine. Any advice or suggestions would be tremendously appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your help!
