### Data description

#### PanTHERIA [:globe_with_meridians:](https://esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1890/08-1494.1)

PanTHERIA is a species-level database of life history, ecology, and geography of 
extant and recently extinct mammals. The dataset can be found in 
[`data/pantheria/PanTHERIA_1-0_WR05_Aug2008.txt`](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rdatatoolbox/datarepo/main/data/pantheria/PanTHERIA_1-0_WR05_Aug2008.txt). Metadata can be found [here](https://esapubs.org/archive/ecol/E090/184/metadata.htm). 
Missing values are coded `-999`.

#### WWF Wildfinder [:globe_with_meridians:](https://www.worldwildlife.org/publications/wildfinder-database)

The WWF WildFinder database contains presence/absence data for the world's terrestrial amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals, by terrestrial ecoregion. In this repository, only 4,936 mammals species are provided. Data have cleaned and are structured in three `csv` files:

  - [`data/wildfinder/wildfinder-mammals_list.csv`](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rdatatoolbox/datarepo/main/data/wildfinder/wildfinder-mammals_list.csv) : list of 4,936 World mammals species;
  - [`data/wildfinder/wildfinder-ecoregions_list.csv`](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rdatatoolbox/datarepo/main/data/wildfinder/wildfinder-ecoregions_list.csv) : list of the 798 world terrestrial ecoregions defined by the WWF;
  - [`data/wildfinder/wildfinder-ecoregions_species.csv`](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rdatatoolbox/datarepo/main/data/wildfinder/wildfinder-ecoregions_species.csv) : association between species and ecoregions.
