Patterns and determinants of diversity and knowledge shortfalls of Mexican ants

Description of the data and file structure

All maps:

Results of the window-moving analysis at 2.5 (2_5arcmin), 5 (5_arcmin), 7.5 (7_5arcmin) and 10 (10_arcmin) arcminutes. Within each file there are different window settings, specifically the window widths of 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 (rows) to calculate the observed richness (first column; est_obs), the estimated richnes (second column; est_rich) and the estimated sample coverage (third column; est_sc)

.csv databases:

1- occurrences_included_wo_duplicates.csv = This database contains the 52,689 ant records compiled for Mexico after removing the duplicates of the species within the same coordinate.

2.-Ocurrences_excluded.csv = This database contains the 85,403 of duplicated records removed after the cleaning pipeline (see methods section).

3.-full_records_with_status.csv = This database contains the 137,093 ant records compiled from the Kass data, AntWeb data and Dattilo et al., (2020) data and a column with the status whether the record was included or excluded for the analyses.
