Global drivers of echolocating mammal species richness

Echolocation provides a non-visual perception modality. The extensive diversity of echolocating mammal species is widely distributed across most global regions and latitudes, yet the factors determining their distribution remain unclear. These data incorporate echolocating and non-echolocating mammalian richness, as well as various climate and human activity data. This data can be used to explore the influence factors of echolocating species' global distribution.
