Data for "Pyrodiversity interacts with rainfall to increase bird and mammal richness in African savannas" DOI 10.1111/ele.12921

These files contain the data analysed in the paper Pyrodiversity interacts with rainfall to increase bird and mammal richness in African savannas" DOI 10.1111/ele.12921 by the same authors, published in Ecology Letters in 2018. The files detail the richness of savanna dwelling bird and mammal species in 1/2 degree grid cells across Africa. Fire data (including the pyrodiversity scores used) are available from dx.doi.org . A full list of the bird and mammal species included and the sources of the raw distribution data is provided in supplementary material for the paper.
All files are geotiffs. savBirds.tif contains the bird richness pattern, BirdsTop25.tif the richness of the commonest 25% of species, BirdsBot25.tif the richness of the rarest 25% of species, richness patterns for mammals are in files mamm.richness.tif (all species), rich.sav.mammlight.tif (small mammals), rich.sav.mammheavy.tif (large mammals), rich.bats.tif (bats), 02.mamm.top25.new.tif (common mammals), 03.mamm.bot25.new.tif (rare mammals).
