- 1_african bats_maxent models_all_species.R provides code to run maxent models for each African bat species
- 2_aoo-eoo.R script to calculate EOO (extent of occurrence) and AOO (area of occupancy) for African bats
- Bat_dist_shiny.R script to generate shinyapp displaying searchable map of Africa for species occurrence records in the database
