Summary

We developed spatial summary (GIS) layers for a study of factors influencing the distribution of cave and karst associated fauna within the Appalachian Landscape Conservation Cooperative region, one of 22 public-private partnerships established by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service to aid in developing landscape scale solutions to conservation problems (https://lccnetwork.org/lcc/appalachian). We gathered occurrence data on cave-limited terrestrial and aquatic troglobiotic species from a variety of sources within the Appalachian LCC region covering portions of 15 states. Occurrence records were developed from the scientific literature, existing biodiversity databases, personal records of the authors, museum accessions, state [...]

Purpose

The purpose of this data set is to depict the predicted occurence of troglobiotic (cave-dwelling) millipedes (genera Pseudotremia, Scoterpes, Zygonopus, and others) in all 20x20km grid cells covering the Appalachian LCC occuring in karst
