Data on geographical range size and climatic niche variables for 72 species of western North American Mimulus

This file contains all variables used in Fig. 2b of “Identifying the paths leading to variation in geographical range size in western North American monkeyflowers” by Sheth et al. 2014 in Journal of Biogeography. Please see publication for more details. The columns are as follows: species: species of Mimulus extent_of_occurrence: geographic range size measured by minimum convex polygon (in units of kilometers squared) encompassing the occurrence points of each species number_of_pixels_occupied: number of 5-arc minute pixels in which each species is known to occur latitudinal_extent: latitudinal extent (in decimal degrees) encompassed by the occurrence points of each species longitudinal_extent: longitudinal extent (in decimal degrees) encompassed by the occurrence points of each species niche_breadth: multivariate climatic niche breadth of each species niche_position: multivariate climatic niche position of each species amount_of_suitable_habitat: number of 5-arc minute pixels defined as climatically suitable for each species connectivity: connectivity of climatically suitable habitat (in km multiplied by -1) occupancy_of_suitable_habitat: number of climatically suitable grid cells in which each species is known to occur (number_of_pixels_occupied/amount_of_suitable_habitat)
