MaxEnt - made understandable

I read the recent paper by Elith et al. 2011 (appropriately titled "A statistical explanation of MaxEnt for ecologists") this weekend. MaxEnt has frequently been called a 'Black Box', and sometimes been criticized on this account, although it has been shown to perform as one of the best species distribution modelling techniques currently available. Elith and colleagues have done a great job of providing users of the software with a 'candle' to shed some light into the black box of MaxEnt. Several useful features have also been added to the MaxEnt interface, giving users greater control of several features, such as the background points that can be selected. This paper will be a good guideline for all MaxEnt users.
