J.E. was supported by an Australian Research Council grant, FT0991640 and by an early consultancy that raised the question of how to explain MaxEnt to end-users (Jeff Tranter, Environmental Resources Information Network, Canberra, Australia). T.H. was partially supported by grant DMS-1007719 from the U.S. National Science Foundation. Simon Ferrier, John Baumgartner and Tord Snall provided useful feedback on ideas and/or the manuscript. Robert Hijmans provided the method for taking samples proportional to area. Stuart Elith helped with artwork. Thanks to the reviewers - Mark Robertson, Janet Franklin and Cory Merow - for generous and constructive comments and good ideas.
