Cordonnier, C. Gibert, A. Bellec, B. Kaufmann, G. Escarguel ********************************** CONTENTS *********************************** The data are in table form with TABs as variables field delimiters so they can be readily imported in any statistical package or spreadsheet program. Please, contact me if you need the file formatted otherwise. This file includes a description of the variables. The individuals described in this file were identified to species and analyzed for climate variables in Cordonnier, M., Bellec, A., Dumet, A., Escarguel, G., & Kaufmann, B. (2019). Range limits in sympatric cryptic species: a case study in Tetramorium pavement ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) across a biogeographical boundary. Insect Conservation and Diversity, 12(2), 109-120. ******************************************************************************* Variable names and descriptions ID Sample name X Longitude in WGS 84 (World Geodetic System 1984) decimal degrees rounded to 5 decimal places Y Latitude in WGS 84 (World Geodetic System 1984) decimal degrees rounded to 5 decimal places SZ Name of the sampling area sensu Cordonnier et al.
