Expert range maps of global mammal distributions harmonised to three taxonomic authorities
Open accessAbstract
Aim: Comprehensive, global information on species' occurrences is an essential biodiversity variable and central to a range of applications in ecology, evolution, biogeography and conservation. Expert range maps often represent a species' only available distributional information and play an increasing role in conservation assessments and macroecology. We provide global range maps for the native ranges of all extant mammal species harmonised to the taxonomy of the Mammal Diversity Database (MDD) mobilised from two sources, the Handbook of the Mammals of the World (HMW) and the Illustrated Checklist of the Mammals of the World (CMW). Location: Global. Taxon: All extant mammal species. Methods: Range maps were digitally interpreted, georeferenced, error‐checked and subsequently taxonomically aligned between the HMW (6253 species), the CMW (6431 species) and the MDD taxonomies (6362 species). Results: Range maps can be evaluated and visualised in an online map browser at Map of Life (mol.org) and accessed for individual or batch download for non‐commercial use. Main conclusion: Expert maps of species' global distributions are limited in their spatial detail and temporal specificity, but form a useful basis for broad‐scale characterizations and model‐based integration with other data. We provide georeferenced range maps for the native ranges of all extant mammal species as shapefiles, with species‐level metadata and source information packaged together in geodatabase format. Across the three taxonomic sources our maps entail, there are 1784 taxonomic name differences compared to the maps currently available on the IUCN Red List website. The expert maps provided here are harmonised to the MDD taxonomic authority and linked to a community of online tools that will enable transparent future updates and version control.

The IUCN Red List subsequently provided the sole source of digital range maps for mammals until Marsh et al. (2022) digitized range maps aligned to 3 alternative taxonomies: HMW (6,253 species); CMW (6,431 species); and MDD version 1.2 (6,362 species).
“The IUCN Red List subsequently provided the sole source of digital range maps for mammals until Marsh et al. (2022) digitized range maps aligned to 3 alternative taxonomies: HMW (6,253 species); CMW (6,431 species); and MDD version 1.2 (6,362 species; note that each taxonomy also contains unmapped species that are extinct or data deficient—see tables later in the text Tables 1 and 2).”

Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredA collaboration with Yale University researchers enabled the digitization of geographic range maps as polygon shapefiles for all mammal species, as matched to the taxonomies of MDD v1.2, HMW series, and CMW.
“A further collaboration with Yale University researchers enabled the digitization of geographic range maps as polygon shapefiles for all mammal species, as matched to the taxonomies of MDD v1.2, HMW series, and CMW (see Marsh et al. 2022 and map downloads updated to MDD v1.4 via the “mddmaps” R package; Robles-Fernández 2024).”

The Introduction and Materials and Methods describe digitized range maps harmonized to MDD v1.2, HMW, and CMW and provided as shapefiles; the Biosketch identifies the lead author as based at Yale University. However, Table 1 and the Harmonisation between data sources section state that a few species in each taxonomy lack georeferenced range maps, so the claim that shapefiles were produced for all species is too absolute.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
