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.
