Data from: Fauxcurrence: simulating multi-species occurrences for null models in species distribution modelling and biogeography

This dataset contains GPS coordinates of occurrences from 22 species from Sulawesi, Indonesia. It was used in the manuscript "Fauxcurrence: simulating multi-species occurrences for null models in species distribution modelling and biogeography" to demonstrate the utility of the fauxcurrence R package (<a href="https://github.com/ogosborne/fauxcurrence">https://github.com/ogosborne/fauxcurrence)</a>.

Alien species checklists - occurrence tables

Tables representing species-regions occurrences based on alien species databases. The tables were modified from the original sources to standardise the for the workflow, and to incorporate the taxonomic harmosation. 1- Final_checklist_amphibians - created based on the information available in "Capinha, C. et al.

Distribution. Restricted to the cooler waters of the N Atlantic Ocean, as far N as the Davis Strait, Jan Mayen, and Spitsbergen, and as far S as NE USA, Azores, and Canary Is; in E Atlantic Ocean, this species appears to be relatively rare S of Bay of Biscay. Although its occurrence seems to be relatively continuous in some parts of its distribution, such as in the E Atlantic Ocean, it appears to be more fragment ed in others, such as in the waters off E Canada. in Ziphiidae

Distribution. New Guinea, including Yapen, Mios Num, and Roon Is in Cenderawasih (= Geelvink) Bay, Karkar and Walis Is off the N coast, Raja Ampat Is of Salawati, Sorong, and Misool, SE Papua New Guinea Is of Samarai (= Dinner) and Dufaure (= Dufour), and Aru Is. It is present on many islands of C & S Moluccas (Seram, Ambon, Pulau Pandjang, Buru, and the Tayandu and Kai archipelagos). It has been introduced to Selayar I between Sulawesi and Flores (W occurrence of the species), and there are vague records from Flores and Sulawesi, which may also refer to the Selayar population. This species was also apparently introduced to Mussau (St. Matthias Group, NE Bismarck Archipelago) in prehistoric times and to New Ireland I (Bismarck Archipelago) in the 20™ century. in Phalangeridae
