Presence of terrestrial carnivores of the family Felidae and environmental variables.
Description
Presence of terrestrial carnivores of the family Felidae and mean of environmental variables in cells of 1 degree x 1 degree around the world.
Usage
data(Carnivores)Format
A matrix of the presence of terrestrial carnivores of the family Felidae and the mean altitude, mean annual temperature, isothermality, temperature seasonality and mean annual precipitation in cells of 1 degree x 1 degree around the world.
Source
The range maps of the species were obtained from the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) at the web page https://www.iucn.org/. The data of the mean annual temperature (BIO1), isothermality (BIO3), temperature seasonality (BIO4) and mean annual precipitation (BIO12) were downloaded from the web https://www.worldclim.org/. Both range maps and environmental variables were inputted into ModestR and the output file from ModestR is a CSV file that was converted to a RData file.
