A matrix of the presence of terrestrial carnivores of the family
Felidae and the mean altitude, mean temperature and mean precipitation
in cells of 1 degree x 1 degree around the world.source
The range maps of the species were obtained from the International
Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) at the web page http://www.iucn.org/.
The data of the mean temperature (BIO1) and the mean precipitation (BIO12),
from 1950 to 2000, were downloaded from the web http://www.worldclim.org/.
Both range maps and environmental variables were input into ModestR
(www.ipez.es/ModestR) and the output file from ModestR is a CSV file that was
converted to a Rdat.
