The BioTIME database contains raw data on species identities and abundances in ecological assemblages through time. The database consists of 11 tables; one raw data table plus ten related meta data tables. For further information please see our associated data paper. This data consists of several elements: BioTIMESQL_11_07_2017.sql - an SQL file for the full public version of BioTIME which can be imported into any mySQL database. BioTIMEQuery_06_07_2017.csv - data file, although too large to view in Excel, this can be read into several software applications such as R or various database packages. BioTIMEMetadata_11_07_2017.csv - file containing the meta data for all studies. BioTIMECitations_11_07_2017.csv - file containing the citation list for all studies.
