This step links cleaned GBIF occurrences to climatology to quantify species- and community-scale thermal affinities. Occurrence points are spatially thinned to reduce sampling bias, paired with WorldClim SST (bio6) to derive per-taxon species thermal indices and latitudinal envelopes, then joined to multi-year community matrices to compute CTI metrics (means and confidence bounds) for each sample.

This is one of four datasets in the BCO-DMO catalog that were produced with the "Fourchon Nekton Turnover Workflow" (v1.0.0, doi: https://doi.org/10.5281/ZENODO.18165331). BCO-DMO hosts the datasets and supplemental data produced by this workflow that have had minor modifications to enhance the interoperability of the data and were imported into the BCO-DMO data system (See more in section "BCO-DMO Processing"). The workflow contains the exact formats of the data files produced and used by the workflow scripts. The workflow contains scripts, configurations, readme files, and input/output files for four stages listed below. Each workflow stage corresponds to a BCO-DMO dataset (See "Related Datasets" section on the BCO-DMO pages).
