Myxophies species location and environmental variables

Our study case dataset uses presence-only records from the online database of the Atlas of Living Australia. On this platform, any person that sees a frog in the wild can report the coordinates and other relevant information. We focused the analysis on the three northern species of Mixophyes genus that have been recently separated in Mahony et al. 2006. We cleaned our dataset by including only observations of adult specimens with date information and through verification by a specialist of these species, M. Mahony. The observations with known species labels were those for which we have associated genetic information as well as any observations reported after the taxonomic split in 2006. The rest of the observations were considered as having unknown species labels. We extracted relevant covariates for these species on a 5kmx5km grid from different sources: BBCVL, UC Davis Biogeo group and bom.
