Dataset and species distribution modeling procedure performed in "Crossing borders: Connectivity analyses reveal potential patterns of range expansion of the Northern raccoon in Europe"

"Raccoon - occurrences&amp;backgrounds.Rdata" contains a table with environmental characteristcs at occurrence and background locations for raccoon in its native range.<br>"Raccoon species distribution models.R" is the script used to perform variable selection and regularization of model parameters by using spatially-separated testing data.<br>"Output maps.zip" contains the geoTIFF maps of suitaiblity, resistance, and connectivity for the raccoon in Europe, along with a raster indicating areas outside of model calibration, and .qml files that can be used to visualize the maps as they are presented in the paper.
