Table 1 in Removal of historical taxonomic bias and its impact on biogeographic analyses: a case study of Neotropical tardigrade fauna

Table 1. Details regarding species accumulation curves (SACs) of each biogeographic area for all data (‘false cosmopolitan’ and ‘indigenous species’) and only ‘indigenous data’. Estimated total species’ richness (asymptote) and residual sum-of-squares (RSS) were obtained when fitting each curve to an asymptotic model.
