In vertebrates, gliding evolved as a mode of energy-efficient locomotion to move between trees. Gliding vertebrate richness is hypothesised to increase with tree height and decrease with tree density but empirical evidence for this is scarce, especially at a global scale. Here, we test the ability of tree height and density to explain species richness of gliding vertebrates globally compared to richness of all vertebrates, while controlling for biogeographical and climatic factors. We compiled a global database of 193 gliding amphibians, mammals and reptiles and created maps of species richness from extent-of-occurrence range maps. We paired species richness of gliding vertebrates with spatial estimates of global tree height and density and biogeographical regions as covariates to account for ecological differences among global regions. We used univariate linear and multivariate generalised linear mixed-effect models to evaluate relationships between species richness and tree height and..., , , # Data to: Remotely sensed tree height and density explain global gliding vertebrate richness
