Species Distribution Models for Two Microendemic Palms in Chapada Diamantina, Brazil

1.6 GB of R scripts and raster outputs from ecological niche models for two palm species. The dataset, created by Beatriz Oliveira and last updated in May 2026, likely contains geospatial predictions of species distributions under climate change scenarios. It supports research on niche differentiation and conservation impacts for microendemic flora.

Use Cases

• Modeling species habitat suitability based on environmental raster data.
• Assessing climate change impacts on endemic palm distributions based on model outputs.
• Comparing ecological niches between two closely related palm species based on the study's focus.
• Reproducing or extending the study's species distribution modeling workflow using the provided R scripts.

Strengths

• Dataset size is 1.6 GB, indicating substantial model outputs.
• Includes both analysis scripts (R) and final model outputs (raster files) for reproducibility.
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for open use.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
