Data and Code from "Global bias towards recording latitudinal range shifts"

Data and R-code associated to manuscript "Global bias towards recording latitudinal range shifts"the companion R-package latbias can be downloaded from: https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=latbiasAbstract: Studies reporting shifts in species distributions may be biased by sampling choices, which can either exaggerate or underestimate range responses to various global changes. Here, we demonstrate a geometric bias favouring sampling along latitude, which increases the likelihood of observing latitudinal range shifts as expected under climate warming. A global bias towards studying species redistributions preferentially along warming gradients likely veils the true direction and magnitude of range shifts.
