<b>Data and Code from "Global bias towards recording latitudinal range shifts"</b>

Data and R-code associated to manuscript "<b>Global bias towards recording latitudinal range shifts</b>"the companion R-package <i>latbias </i>can be downloaded from: https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=latbiasAbstract: Studies reporting shifts in species distributions may be biased by sampling choices, which can either exaggerate or underestimate range responses to various global changes. Here, we demonstrate a geometric bias favouring sampling along latitude, which increases the likelihood of observing latitudinal range shifts as expected under climate warming. A global bias towards studying species redistributions preferentially along warming gradients likely veils the true direction and magnitude of range shifts.
