Data from: MERRAclim, a high-resolution global dataset of remotely sensed bioclimatic variables for ecological modelling
Species Distribution Models (SDMs) combine information on the geographic occurrence of species with environmental layers to estimate distributional ranges and have been extensively implemented to answer a wide array of applied ecological questions.
