Bat species richness across the 20 countries of Western Asia. Spatial data was downloaded from the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species website [2] for each of the 96 bat species recorded in the following Western Asian countries: AFG—Afghanistan; ARM—Armenia; AZE—Azerbaijan; BHR—Bahrain; GEO—Georgia; IRN—Iran; IRQ—Iraq; ISR—Israel; JOR—Jordan; KWT—Kuwait; LBN—Lebanon; OMN—Oman; QAT—Qatar; PAK—Pakistan; PSE—Palestine; SAU—Saudi Arabia; SYR—Syria; TUR—Turkey; ARE—United Arab Emirates; YEM—Yemen. Shapefiles of species’ ranges were extracted using the package raster [105] and converted to raster files using package fasterize [106]. Rasterized polygons of species’ ranges were cropped to include only Western Asian countries based on ISO 3166 two-letter codes and mapped using packages maptools [107] and viridis [108]. All analyses were conducted in R version 3.4.3 [109].
