carnivora: Geographical distributions of the mammalian order Carnivora
In UtrechtUniversity/SCCA: Spectral Clustering Correspondence Analysis in R

Description Usage Format References

This common-used dataset in Ecology, gives the geographical distributions of the mammalian order Carnivora. The data set is comprised by an incidence matrix M (i.e. presence-absence matrix), with 41,580 non-empty sites (rows) and 288 extant terrestrial and marine species (columns). The sites represent grid-cells rasterised at a resolution of 0.78 latitudinal degrees. The distributional data results from rasterizing range map distributions published as part of the Phylacine v1.2 dataset Faurby 2019, which includes data on the geographic distributions of mammals both extant and extinct over the last 130,000 years. The data was downloaded (last accessed on November 2019) and pruned to only include carnivores. Data was processed in R (R Core Development Team 2014) and mapped in QGIS v2.18.16 (QGIS Development Team 2015).
