Regularized satellite tracks from: Ocean warming alters the distributional range, migratory timing, and spatial protections of an apex predator, the tiger shark (Galeocerdo cuvier)
<p>Data are regularized tiger shark satellite tracks used in "Ocean warming alters the distributional range, migratory timing, and spatial protections of an apex predator, the tiger shark (Galeocerdo cuvier)" published in Global Change Biology. Paper abstract below:</p> <p>Given climate change threats to ecosystems, it is critical to understand responses of species to warming. This is especially important in the case of apex predators since they exhibit relatively high extinction risk and changes to their distribution could impact predator-prey interactions that can initiate trophic cascades. Here we used a combined analysis of animal tracking, remotely sensed environmental data, habitat modeling, and capture data to evaluate the effects of climate variability and change on the distributional range and migratory phenology of an ectothermic apex predator, the tiger shark (Galeocerdo cuvier). Tiger sharks satellite tracked in the western North Atlantic between 2010 and 2019 revealed significant annual variability in the geographic extent and timing of their migrations to northern latitudes from ocean warming. Specifically, tiger shark migrations have extended farther poleward and arrival times to northern latitudes have occurred earlier in the year during periods with anomalously high sea-surface temperatures. A complementary analysis of nearly 40 years of tiger shark captures in the region revealed decadal-scale changes in the distribution and timing of shark captures in parallel with long-term ocean warming. Specifically, areas of highest catch densities have progressively increased poleward and catches have occurred earlier in the year off the North American shelf. During periods of anomalously high sea-surface temperatures, movements of tracked sharks shifted beyond spatial management zones that had been affording them protection from commercial fishing and bycatch. Taken together, these study results have implications for fisheries management, human-wildlife conflict, and ecosystem functioning.</p>
Distribution and habitat attributes associated with the Himalayan red panda in the westernmost distribution range
<p><span><span>The Himalayan red panda (<i>Ailurus fulgens</i>), a recently confirmed distinct species in the red panda genus, is distributed in Nepal, India, Bhutan and south Tibet. Nepal represents the western most distribution of the Himalayan red panda. </span>This study aim to determine important habitat features influencing the distribution of red panda and recommend possible habitat corridors. <span>This manuscript described current potential habitat of 3,222 km<sup>2</sup> with the relative abundance of 3.34 signs/km in Nepal. Aspect, canopy cover, bamboo cover and distance to water were the important habitat attributes. It suggested five potential corridors in western Nepal. Overall, the study has important implications for conservation of the Himalayan red panda in western distribution range.</span></span></p>

Geographic range maps for Mammal Diversity Database v1.2 taxonomy from "Expert range maps of global mammal distributions harmonised to three taxonomic authorities"
<p>Data mirroring for long-term integrity of these critical geospatial resources. Included here are expert geographic range maps aligned to the taxonomy of the Mammal Diversity Database (MDD) version 1.2, which was published on 24 Sept 2020 https://zenodo.org/record/4139818. That taxonomy includes 6,485 total species, of which 103 are considered recently extinct, 20 are considered domestic extant, and 6,362 are considered wild extant (this corrects for 1 species, <em>Capra hircus</em>, that was incorrectly coded as 'domestic=0' rather than 'domestic=1' in the MDD v1.2). For this mapping project, only 6,362 species from MDD v1.2 have maps -- this total:</p> <ul> <li>excludes all extinct and domestic species;</li> <li>excludes 2 species for which no spatial information was available (<em>Nycticeius aenobarbus</em> and <em>Phoniscus aerosus</em>); and</li> <li>includes 2 species<em> </em>(<em>Elaphurus davidianus</em> and <em>Oryx dammah</em>) that are extinct in the wild (EW) in IUCN, have recent range information and were included in the MDD as extant.</li> </ul> <p><strong>### File inventory ###</strong></p> <ul> <li>Order-level zipped files (27 total), one for each extant order of mammals, unzips to geopackage (*.gpg) format;</li> <li>Mammalia-wide zipped file (1: "MDD_Mammalia.zip"), includes maps for all 27 orders, unzips to gpg format;</li> <li>Full taxonomy for MDD v1.2 (as published on https://zenodo.org/record/4139818) in csv format ("MDD_v1.2_all_6485species.csv"); and</li> <li>Subset of MDD v1.2 taxonomy for which range maps are here provided (6,362 species) in csv format ("mdd_spList_wFamilieswOrders_mapped_6362species.csv").</li> </ul> <p><br> <strong>### Full citation ###</strong></p> <p>Marsh, C.J., Sica, Y.V., Burgin, C.J., Dorman, W.A., Anderson, R.C., del Toro Mijares, I., Vigneron, J.G., Barve, V., Dombrowik, V.L., Duong, M., Guralnick, R., Hart, J.A., Maypole, J.K., McCall, K., Ranipeta, A., Schuerkmann, A., Torselli, M.A., Lacher Jr, T., Mittermeier, R.A., Rylands, A.B., Sechrest, W., Wilson, D.E., Abba, A.M., Aguirre, L.F., Arroyo-Cabrales, J., Astúa, D., Baker, A.M., Braulik, G., Braun, J.K., Brito, J., Busher, P.E., Burneo, S.F., Camacho, M.A., Cavallini, P., de Almeida Chiquito, E., Cook, J.A., Cserkész, T., Csorba, G., Cuéllar Soto, E., da Cunha Tavares, V., Davenport, T.R.B., Deméré, T., Denys, C., Dickman, C.R., Eldridge, M.D.B., Fernandez-Duque, E., Francis, C.M., Frankham, G., Franklin, W.L., Freitas, T., Friend, J.A., Gadsby, E.L., Garbino, G.S.T., Gaubert, P., Giannini, N., Giarla, T., Gilchrist, J.S., Gongora, J., Goodman, S.M., Gursky-Doyen, S., Hackländer, K., Hafner, M.S., Hawkins, M., Helgen, K.M., Heritage, S., Hinckley, A., Hintsche, S., Holden, M., Holekamp, K.E., Honeycutt, R.L., Huffman, B.A., Humle, T., Hutterer, R., Ibáñez Ulargui, C., Jackson, S.M., Janecka, J., Janecka, M., Jenkins, P., Juškaitis, R., Juste, J., Kays, R., Kilpatrick, C.W., Kingston, T., Koprowski, J.L., Kryštufek, B., Lavery, T., Lee Jr, T.E., Leite, Y.L.R., Novaes, R.L.M., Lim, B.K., Lissovsky, A., López-Antoñanzas, R., López-Baucells, A., MacLeod, C.D., Maisels, F.G., Mares, M.A., Marsh, H., Mattioli, S., Meijaard, E., Monadjem, A., Morton, F.B., Musser, G., Nadler, T., Norris, R.W., Ojeda, A., Ordóñez-Garza, N., Pardiñas, U.F.J., Patterson, B.D., Pavan, A., Pennay, M., Pereira, C., Prado, J., Queiroz, H.L., Richardson, M., Riley, E.P., Rossiter, S.J., Rubenstein, D.I., Ruelas, D., Salazar-Bravo, J., Schai-Braun, S., Schank, C.J., Schwitzer, C., Sheeran, L.K., Shekelle, M., Shenbrot, G., Soisook, P., Solari, S., Southgate, R., Superina, M., Taber, A.B., Talebi, M., Taylor, P., Vu Dinh, T., Ting, N., Tirira, D.G., Tsang, S., Turvey, S.T., Valdez, R., Van Cakenberghe, V., Veron, G., Wallis, J., Wells, R., Whittaker, D., Williamson, E.A., Wittemyer, G., Woinarski, J., Zinner, D., Upham, N.S., Jetz, W., 2022. Expert range maps of global mammal distributions harmonised to three taxonomic authorities. Journal of Biogeography 49 (5): 979-992. <a href="https://doi.org/10.1111/jbi.14330">https://doi.org/10.1111/jbi.14330</a><br> </p> <p><strong>###</strong><strong> Data downloads on Map of Life ###</strong></p> <p>All range maps for the three taxonomic sources are openly available for non-commercial use through https://mol.org/datasets or at species-level at https://mol.org/species, or for bulk download at https://doi.org/10.48600/mol-7r3j-8066 (HMW), https://doi.org/10.48600/mol-zzrs-q778 (CMW) and https://doi.org/10.48600/mol-48vz-p413 (MDD).</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>###</strong><strong> Abstract ###</strong></p> <p><strong>Aim: </strong> Comprehensive, global information on species' occurrences is an essential biodiversity variable and central to a range of applications in ecology, evolution, biogeography and conservation. Expert range maps often represent a species' only available distributional information and play an increasing role in conservation assessments and macroecology. We provide global range maps for the native ranges of all extant mammal species harmonised to the taxonomy of the Mammal Diversity Database (MDD) mobilised from two sources, the <em>Handbook of the Mammals of the World</em> (HMW) and the <em>Illustrated Checklist of the Mammals of the World</em> (CMW).</p> <p><strong>Location: </strong> Global.</p> <p><strong>Taxon: </strong> All extant mammal species.</p> <p><strong>Methods: </strong> Range maps were digitally interpreted, georeferenced, error-checked and subsequently taxonomically aligned between the HMW (6253 species), the CMW (6431 species) and the MDD taxonomies (6362 species).</p> <p><strong>Results: </strong> Range maps can be evaluated and visualised in an online map browser at Map of Life (mol.org) and accessed for individual or batch download for non-commercial use.</p> <p><strong>Main conclusion: </strong> Expert maps of species' global distributions are limited in their spatial detail and temporal specificity, but form a useful basis for broad-scale characterizations and model-based integration with other data. We provide georeferenced range maps for the native ranges of all extant mammal species as shapefiles, with species-level metadata and source information packaged together in geodatabase format. Across the three taxonomic sources our maps entail, there are 1784 taxonomic name differences compared to the maps currently available on the IUCN Red List website. The expert maps provided here are harmonised to the MDD taxonomic authority and linked to a community of online tools that will enable transparent future updates and version control.</p> <p><strong>Keywords: </strong> GIS; Mammalia; biodiversity; biogeography; conservation planning; mapping; species distributions.</p>
