Park, Shan Huang, J.P. Schmidt & Patrick R. Stephens -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HostCorrectedName: Host name from Wilson & Reeder 2005 as reported in Stephens et al. (2017) or Host name reported in Correa et al. (2016) HostOrder: Host order from Wilson & Reeder 2005 as reported in Stephens et al. (2017); all host genera in Correa et al. (2016) were already in Stephens et al. (2017) ParasiteCorrectedName: Parasite name reported in Stephens et al. (2017) or parasite name reported in Correa et al. (2016). ParType: Virus, bacteria, protozoa, helminth, fungus or arthropod. Source: Source of the geographic information. Occurrences extracted or modified (see main text and Appendix S1) from Stephens et al. (2017) or georeferenced from locations in Correa et al. (2016). LocationName: Location name from Stephens et al. (2017), or Correa et al. (2016). Longitude: Decimal degree longitude where the parasite was reported, the resolution varies depending which region was reported in the primary literature (locality, county, etc.). Centroids were used when the locality was not reported. Latitude: Decimal degree latitude where the parasite was reported, the resolution varies depending which region was reported in the primary literature (locality, county, etc.). Centroids were used when the locality was not reported. Citation: Short form of citation for the publication that reported the parasite-host association and location. PubData Full reference for the citation as presented in Stephens et al. (2017) or for Correa et al. (2016) study.
