Net changes in the distribution areas of phyllostomid genera in the Neotropics are reported under different climate change scenarios for 2040. The dataset was authored by Daryl Cruz and published on figshare under a CC-BY-4.0 license. It was last updated on May 22, 2026.
Use Cases
- Modeling future biodiversity loss based on projected distribution changes.
- Assessing climate change vulnerability for different bat genera.
- Planning conservation strategies based on predicted habitat shifts.
- Comparing the impact of different climate scenarios on species ranges.
Strengths
- Data is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.
- Focuses on a specific taxonomic group (phyllostomid bats) and region (Neotropics).
- Provides projections for a specific future year (2040).
Limitations
- Dataset size is only 7.4 KB, indicating a very limited scope.
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
