Data for bioregionalisation and ancestral range estimation in the daisy family

This data package contains data underlying the manuscript McDonald-Spicer et al., "Big data for a large clade: bioregionalisation and ancestral range estimation in the daisy family (Asteraceae)" presenting the results of research on the global biogeography and biogeographic history of the Asteraceae. It includes (1) a supermatrix of DNA sequence data obtained from GenBank and BOLD with partitioning information, (2) distribution data at the TDWG level 3, originally based on a database extract of the Global Compositae Checklist but subsequently cleaned and supplemented with additional data for some geographic areas, and (3) input files for ancestral area estimation using the R package BioGeoBEARS.

本数据包包含McDonald-Spicer等人所著论文《大型支系的大数据：菊科（Asteraceae）的生物分区与祖先分布区估计》（Big data for a large clade: bioregionalisation and ancestral range estimation in the daisy family (Asteraceae)）的支撑研究数据，该论文呈现了菊科全球生物地理学与生物地理历史的研究成果。本数据集包含以下三部分内容：(1) 从GenBank与BOLD获取的、附带分区信息的DNA序列数据超级矩阵；(2) 采用TDWG三级尺度的分布数据，其原始数据源自《全球菊科名录》（Global Compositae Checklist）的数据库提取结果，后经清洗并针对部分地理区域补充了额外数据；(3) 用于借助R包BioGeoBEARS开展祖先分布区估计的输入文件。
