Data and code from: Historical temperature stability and environmental drivers shape patterns of phylogenetic diversity in cactaceae

Reliable biodiversity data are fundamental for assessing species
distributions, detecting knowledge gaps, and informing conservation
strategies. We present a comprehensive dataset containing 435,694
georeferenced occurrence records for 1,892 species of Cactaceae across the
Americas. This large-scale compilation provides an overview of the spatial
distribution of cactus species, revealing geographic and taxonomic biases
in sampling efforts. The dataset offers a valuable resource for advancing
ecological and biogeographic research and supports future analyses aimed
at understanding the diversity, distribution, and conservation needs of
this emblematic plant family. This database is an expansion of the
database compiled by Amaral et al. (2022).
