Shared loss and potential recovery of large carnivores and vultures

Full description

This dataset contains one .xlsx file and two .csv files for the manuscript titled: 'Shared loss and potential recovery of large carnivores and vultures'. Prey_species_per_carnivores.xlsx contains the taxonomic information, common names, mean density, mass, and estimated biomass of all 138 identified prey species used to create the 'Prey Biomass' spatial layer. Additionally, the identified predators paired to each prey species are included, which was used for the 'Carnivore-prey overlap' spatial layer. Vulture_and_carnivore_extirpations.csv contains the percent extant carnivore and standard deviation data for each of the included vulture species by their extant and extirpated ranges. This file also included the historical range of each of the vulture species. Vulture_and_carnivore_threats.csv contains the spatial coordinate point data of the threat layers extracted from the 200 km grid within the Old World vulture range boundaries. This dataset includes the point coordinates, values for carnivore-prey overlap, human-footprint index, human-carnivore conflict, prey biomass, percent extant carnivore, and percent extant vulture spatial layers used in the structural equation modelling.
