Can I use BIOCLIM to predict distribution based on physiological constraints (not current distribution)?

Hello, everyone. I am attempting to use DIVA to predict species distributions. While I know that BIOCLIM can do this based on current distribution, I don't have access to that data, so I wish to make these predictions based instead on physiological constraints (min/max temp, soil moisture, etc), a la CLIMEX.

I know that Ecocrop can do this, but it's capabilities are rudimentary - prediction is based only on temp and precipition (not soil moisture). I'm reasonably sure that the full, stand-alone version of BIOCLIM has this capability, but I don't know how to use the integrated BIOCLIM in DIVA to accomplish this. Any ideas?
