Acacia and Comparison Datasets: Endemic Branch Counts for Three Categories

A figshare dataset by Brent D. Mishler, last updated May 22, 2026. It contains counts of highly endemic branches for three categories (neo-endemic, meso-endemic, paleo-endemic) across seven comparison datasets and a primary Acacia dataset. The data is stored in a 5.5 KB XLS file.

Use Cases

• Compare endemic branch patterns across different taxonomic groups based on the three endemic categories.
• Validate the RWiBaLD protocol for identifying endemic branches using the provided comparison datasets.
• Analyze the distribution of neo-, meso-, and paleo-endemic branches within the Acacia genus.

Strengths

• Data is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.
• Provides a direct comparison across seven datasets plus a focal Acacia dataset.
• File size is small (5.5 KB), ensuring quick download and processing.

Limitations

• Row count and column definitions are unknown, requiring manual inspection after download.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
