Abstract
Methods
The intrinsic predictors were collected from Meiri, 2018, Skeels et al. (2020), and Caetano et al. (2022). The extrinsic factors were calculated by mapping the environmental raters to the species distribution grids based on the shapefiles of the Global Assessment of Reptile Distributions (GARD; Roll & Meiri, 2022).

Usage notes
We used R and the packages listed below to carry out the analyses. The phylogenetic linear regression model was performed using the package phylolm (https://github.com/lamho86/phylolm). The model averaging analyses were performed by using the package MuMIn (https://cran.r-project.org/package=MuMIn).
