MarineSPEED: Marine SPEcies with Environment DatasetMarineSPEED is a benchmark dataset for presence-only species distribution modelling. It contains a collection of 514 marine species linked to environmental data for the 71 current climate layers of Bio-ORACLE and MARSPEC. An R package for downloading and working with MarineSPEED is available on CRAN and on GitHub. For more information see the R package documentation, the README or contact mail@samuelbosch.com. The MarineSPEED data are also available for direct download. |
Distribution records:
The occurrence records where originally sourced from GBIF (datasets), OBIS (datasets), Reef Life Survey, INVASIVES project and personal communications.
Environmental data:
The associated environmental data was extracted from Bio-ORACLE and MARSPEC. The appropriate citations are:
Traits:
Taxonomic information was retrieved from the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS).
Sampling bias information was visually assessed.
Ecoregion data was generated based on: Spalding M.D., Fox H.E., Allen G.R., Davidson N., Ferdaña Z. a., Finlayson M., Halpern B.S., Jorge M. a., Lombana A., Lourie S. a., Martin K.D., Mcmanus E., Molnar J., Recchia C. a., & Robertson J.
