Simulation Landscapes and Config Files for Palaeoclimate and Biogeography Study

Simulation landscapes and configuration files associated with a study on the Great American Biotic Interchange. The 43.2 MB dataset is published under a CC-BY-4.0 license by author Lucas Buffan. It was last updated on May 25, 2026.

Use Cases

• Calibrating biogeographic simulation models based on the provided landscape files.
• Reproducing the palaeoclimate and dispersal simulation experiments described in the associated publication.
• Analyzing the role of climate versus other factors in faunal exchange based on the simulation outputs.

Strengths

• Dataset is directly associated with a peer-reviewed scientific publication.
• Published under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for reuse.
• Links to companion scripts and data on GitHub for reproducibility.

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.
