Data for: Prey resources are equally important as climatic conditions for predicting the distribution of a broad-ranged apex predator

Aim: A current biogeographic paradigm states that climate regulates species distributions at continental scales and that biotic interactions are undetectable at coarse-grain extents. However, advances in spatial modelling show that incorporating food resource distributions are important for improving model predictions at large distribution scales. This is particularly relevant to understand the factors limiting distribution of widespread apex predators whose diets are likely to vary across their range.
Location: Neotropical Central and South America
Methods: The harpy eagle (Harpia harpyja) is a large raptor, whose diet is largely comprised of arboreal mammals, all with broad distributions across Neotropical lowland forest. Here, we used a hierarchical modelling approach to determine the relative importance of abiotic factors and prey resource distribution on harpy eagle range limits. Our hierarchical approach consisted of the following modelling sequence of explanatory variables: (a) a..., R code to run analyses openly available on GitHub., Environmental data available from:

目标：当前的生物地理学范式认为，气候在大陆尺度上调控物种分布，而生物相互作用在粗粒度范围下无法被检测到。然而，空间建模的进展表明，纳入食物资源分布对于改进大尺度分布模型的预测至关重要。这一点对于理解限制广布顶级捕食者分布的因素尤为相关，这些捕食者的饮食可能在其活动范围内存在差异。
地点：新热带界中美洲和南美洲
方法：角雕（Harpia harpyja）是一种大型猛禽，其饮食主要由树栖哺乳动物构成，这些动物均在新热带低地森林中具有广泛分布。在此，我们采用分层建模方法，以确定非生物因素和猎物资源分布对角雕分布范围限制的相对重要性。用于运行分析的R代码可在GitHub上公开获取。
