Data for "Pyrodiversity interacts with rainfall to increase bird and mammal richness in African savannas" DOI 10.1111/ele.12921

These files contain the data analysed in the paper Pyrodiversity interacts with rainfall to increase bird and mammal richness in African savannas" DOI 10.1111/ele.12921 by the same authors, published in Ecology Letters in 2018. The files detail the richness of savanna dwelling bird and mammal species in 1/2 degree grid cells across Africa. Fire data (including the pyrodiversity scores used) are available from http://dx.doi.org/10.5061/dryad.26sb5 . A full list of the bird and mammal species included and the sources of the raw distribution data is provided in supplementary material for the paper.<br>All files are geotiffs. savBirds.tif contains the bird richness pattern, BirdsTop25.tif the richness of the commonest 25% of species, BirdsBot25.tif the richness of the rarest 25% of species, richness patterns for mammals are in files mamm.richness.tif (all species), rich.sav.mammlight.tif (small mammals), rich.sav.mammheavy.tif (large mammals), rich.bats.tif (bats), 02.mamm.top25.new.tif (common mammals), 03.mamm.bot25.new.tif (rare mammals).
