Biogeographic data for "The marine biodiversity impact of the Late Miocene Mediterranean salinity crisis"

Description

Lists of species that were present in the Mediterranean Sea both in the pre-evaporitic Messinian and the Zanclean (based on https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.10782428), biogeographic information on their presence outside the Mediterranean, and accordingly their status as either "possible endemic" to the Mediterranean or "non-endemic" if they were also found outside the basin. The file "pre-evaporitic Messinian endemics.csv" contrains the full list of species present in the Mediterranean Sea in the pre-evaporitic Messinian that can be considered possible endemics, based on the same rule, and the indication if they survived the MSC.

In this version, we added three files containing the possible endemics (from the above list) that were present in each of the regions: Western Mediterranean, Eastern Mediterranean and Po Plain-Northern Adriatic.
