Dear fellow ecologists, For an illustration in an article that discusses the interaction of large-seeded trees - such as oaks and pines - with scatter-hoarding seed dispersers, I am looking for distribution maps of the following tree species:
- as many Quercus species as possible (especially in Asia) - the following Pinus species armandii bungeana culminicola gerardianae koraiensis maximartinezii nelsonii parviflora pinceana pumila quadrifolia sibirica strobiformis While I have found a few point records for most of the species, especially the American and European ones, extended searches for shapefiles of distribution maps for most the species on the list have been unsuccessful. I am happy to digitize scanned maps into shapefiles and I will happily make the data publicly available after the publication of the article. Any pointers are appreciated! Thank you!
