Database of marine invertebrate dispersal parameters and species ranges including locations along East Coast of North America (CoastBenthBiogeo project)

<p>This is a database of marine invertebrate dispersal parameters and species ranges along East Coast of North America with latitude and longitude calculated and added programmatically.</p>

<p>The raw data for range was gathered from occurrence data in the GBIF dataset.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Life history was gathered from a <a href=\"http://dmoserv3.bco-dmo.org/data_docs/CoastBenthBiogeo/References.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Literature Review</a>.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The complete dataset methodology is detailed in Pappalardo P, Pringle J, Wares J, and J Byers (2015): <a href=\"http://dmoserv3.bco-dmo.org/data_docs/CoastBenthBiogeo/Pappalardo_et_al_2015_Ecography.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">The location, strength, and mechanisms behind marine biogeographic boundaries of the east coast of North America</a>. Ecography 38: 001–010, 2015</p>

<p>There are two other datasets associated with this coordinate system:<br />
