This repository contains the datasets used in the main article: There is one Excel file per taxonomic group (amphibians, bats, bees, birds, ground beetles, and reptiles). Each file consists of three Excel spreadsheets: "Species" = matrix of species by sites; "Sites" = ID and coordinates of sites + urban and forest land cover variables; "Traits" = matrix of species by traits. Each spreadsheet contains the raw data used for the analyses in the article. For more information on how to handle the data, see the "Method" section.
