RangeShiftData: Species Range Shifts and Phylogeny for Climate Response Study

A dataset supporting the study of eco-evolutionary responses to climate change. It includes species range shift rates, taxonomic details, climate niche metrics, and a phylogenetic tree with 730 species. The data was authored by Pengdong Chen and last updated on 2026-05-12.

Use Cases

• Modeling species range shift rates based on climate niche metrics mentioned in the description
• Analyzing phylogenetic signals in species' responses to climate change using the included tree
• Validating species distribution models with raw occurrence data from the 740 GBIF CSV files
• Studying correlations between global distribution patterns and climate variables

Strengths

• Includes a phylogenetic tree covering 730 species
• Provides raw occurrence data from GBIF across 740 separate CSV files
• Dataset size is 735.0 MB, indicating substantial content
• License is CC-BY-4.0, allowing for open reuse

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
