Cave_dwelling_spiders_Europe

Cave_description.csv= A dataset with all the information about the subterranean localities included in the CAWEB project. The R notation 'NA' is used for missing values.Community_composition.csv= A dataset with the spider community composition (species presence/absence data) of each subterranean locality included in the CAWEB project. A detailed description of these datasets is given in the Data Paper associated with this resource.
