description: overview There is considerable interest in using climatic variables and bioclimatic predictors not only in ecological species distribution models but in interdisciplinary studies of urban environments.

We then used the continuous environmental data from DAYMET to create 19 different annual bioclimatic predictors for Maricopa County (as defined by Nix, 1986 and Hijmans, 2004). Our study is the first to utilize NASA DAYMET model data to generate bioclimatic predictors. Bioclimatic predictors are important variables to use in model development to study nuances of seasonality especially when compiling models of species and vegetation.
