The BioScen1.5-MEM-GAM models are macroecological models of terrestrial vertebrate richness (amphibians, birds, mammals) using Generalized Additive Models (GAMs) as model algorithm. BioScen1.5-MEM-GAM are statistical models, which were calibrated using a 30-year average (1980-2009) of the EWEMBI observed climate input data set and species richness maps derived from IUCN and BirdLife range maps of 15496 terrestrial vertebrate species (2964 amphibians, 8493 birds and 4039 mammals). The models are then projected to simulated historical, current and future 30-year average climate data from ISIMIP2b, resulting in species richness estimates for the three different vertebrate taxa.
