Biogeographic data for "The marine biodiversity impact of the Late Miocene Mediterranean salinity crisis"

Lists of species that were present in the Mediterranean Sea both in the pre-evaporitic Messinian and the Zanclean (based on https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.10782428), biogeographic information on their presence outside the Mediterranean, and accordingly their status as either "possible endemic" to the Mediterranean or "non-endemic" if they were also found outside the basin.

In this version, we added also the list of species present in the Mediterranean Sea in the pre-evaporitic Messinian that can be considered possible endemics, based on the same rule, and the indication if they survived the MSC.
