Dear all,
As I will explain in this post, I am currently gathering spatial data of presence for all mammals in the Mediterranean ecoregion for my Master thesis. I am contacting a lot of different institutions such as NGOs, state boards, scientists. However, being myself very keen on tracking mammals, I am convinced that naturalists have large amounts of data. Please, find below a description of both my status and my project.
Any contribution to our study will of course be acknowledged in our subsequent report and expected paper. We will also develop a webpage on our website for data providers. Furthermore, we do not publish any row data and can establish official conventions if necessary. Unfortunately, we have a tight research agenda, which constrains us to close the data gathering to start the analyses by mid- to end-January.
I hope to hear from you soon!
Best wishes,
Nathan Ranc
Hi
The attached data is a little more than 10years old, but think it can help you.

Hi!
Thank you for your reply.
I have had a look. It seems they are distribution ranges, and not exact points or atlases. So, it would be hard to make sure that the species is actually distributed in all the cells. Unfortunately, we cannot incorporate such data (and that’s a pity since it would have been great).
But you are most welcome to share your observations, though.
Thanks a lot,
Nathan
