Global Conservation Data for Stipitate Thelephorales Fungi Under Climate Change

20,729 species occurrence records for 151 stipitate Thelephorales ectomycorrhizal fungi across six genera, supporting a global conservation assessment under climate change. The dataset includes R scripts for ensemble species distribution modeling, diversity analyses, and systematic conservation planning using environmental data from WorldClim and HWSD. It was created by Siao Li and contains analyses for future climate scenarios SSP2-4.5 and SSP5-8.5 for the periods 2041–2060 and 2081–2100.

Use Cases

• Modeling future habitat suitability for 151 fungal species using Biomod2 ensemble methods with WorldClim and HWSD environmental variables.
• Identifying climate refugia and conservation priorities for stipitate Thelephorales genera under SSP2-4.5 and SSP5-8.5 scenarios.
• Assessing phylogenetic diversity and applying systematic conservation planning based on the minimum set problem.
• Analyzing global geographic distribution patterns of Boletopsis, Hydnellum, Phellodon, Polyozellus, Sarcodon, and Thelephora fungi from occurrence records.

Strengths

• Contains 20,729 georeferenced occurrence records for 151 species-level taxonomic units, providing a substantial basis for analysis.
• Includes complete analytical code for reproducibility, covering ensemble modeling, diversity assessment, and conservation planning.
• Analyses are conducted for two future climate scenarios (SSP2-4.5 and SSP5-8.5) across two time periods (2041–2060, 2081–2100).

Limitations

• Column names and specific data structure for the 20,729 records are not provided in any source description.
• Sources disagree on the exact last updated date, reporting both 2026-03-25 and 2026-03-26.
