Workflow of steps used in this study. The numbers indicate the relation of each step to Equation () (inset below)

Distributions of cross‐validated AUC scores over 100 runs for four models (Uniform, Traffic, and HabSuit networks, and noTopo) for Hyla arborea occurrence‐state in the Swiss Plateau

Location of the study area (Swiss Plateau; black line) in Switzerland (gray line, solid gray in inset) and presence records of Hyla arborea (black dots)

Habitat networks of Hyla arborea in the Swiss Plateau (same close‐up as in Figure ). The networks were based on three different cost surfaces: Uniform (a), Traffic (b), and Inverse Habitat Suitability (HabSuit; c)

Relationship between the number of times a patch has been visited (V_t) in the period 2006–2015 and the mean number of times that Hyla arborea has been spotted for any number of visits (mean V _h) in the Swiss Plateau

Continuous (a) and binary (b; close‐up of red area in a) suitability maps yielded by the ensemble habitat suitability model for Hyla arborea in the Swiss Plateau. Discrete habitat patches (d; same close‐up as in b) were produced by the application of a mask (c; same close‐up as in b)
