Occurrence Data for the Western Spadefoot (Spea hammondii) in Southern California From 1995 to 2020 and Projected Species Distribution Model

February 26, 2025
These data represent the results of surveys for western spadefoots in southern California, including both presence and non-detection data. In addition, data include environmental covariates that were hypothesized to influence the occurrence of western spadefoots, such as land cover and distance to aquatic features.

These data support the following publication:
