Data for "Global distribution of microwhip scorpions (Arachnida: Palpigradi)"

Occurrences used in the analysis (Occurrence_points.csv) and dataset for calculating the species-people correlation (Sampling_bias.csv). Note that a curated distribution database of palpigrades will be published in an associated data paper (Souza et al., in preparation). Both database are semicolon-delimited (;) csv tables. Variables explanation: GenSp = Genus and species; GenSp2_clean = Cleaned Genus and species as used in the analysis; Ecology = either soil- or cave-dwelling; see main text for details Alien = is the occurrence referring to an human-transported record? Note that all occurrence labelled as Aline = "yes" have been excluded for the analysis. Locality = Verbatim locality; Country = Country of the locality; Continent = Continent of the locality; x & y = WGS84 decimal degrees coordinates. Further information on the different variables are in the main text. Mammola S, Souza MVR, Isaia M, Ferreira RL (2021). Global distribution of microwhip scorpions (Arachnida: Palpigradi).
