hespdiv: an R package for spatially constrained, hierarchical and contiguous regionalization in palaeobiogeography

This is data for the '“hespdiv”: an R package for spatially constrained, hierarchical, and contiguous regionalization in palaeobiogeography' paper. It contains datasets used, their metada, dataset processing scripts, a list of references to data contributors, and R files containing some of the results presented in the paper., The raw dataset was downloaded from the Palaeobiology Database (metada is provided). Its processing can be found in data_prep.R script. The dataset used to obtain the main results is called 'mio_mams'. , , # **Data for**
