A Bioclimate-Based Maximum Entropy Model for Barrion, Almarinez and Amalin (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae) in the Philippines.

is a host-specific endoparasitoid and effective biological control agent of the diaspidid , whose outbreak from 2010 to 2015 severely threatened the coconut industry in the Philippines. Using the maximum entropy (Maxent) algorithm, we developed a species distribution model (SDM) for based on 19 bioclimatic variables, using occurrence data obtained mostly from field surveys conducted in A. rigidus-infested areas in Luzon Island from 2014 to 2016.
