title: Data from: Zoogeographical regions and geospatial patterns of phylogenetic diversity and endemism of New World bats

description: The analysis of regional scale patterns of diversity allows insights into
 the processes that have shaped modern biodiversity at the macro‐scale.
 Previous analyses studying biogeographic regionalisation across different
 high‐level taxa have shown similar trends at a global scale. However,
 incorporating phylogenetic methods when comparing biogeographic
 regionalisation between subgroups facilitates identification of mechanisms
 leading to the biogeographic distribution of specific taxa. We analysed
 the spatial trends of phylogenetic diversity and phylogenetic endemism of
 325 species of New World bats, using updated range maps of the modern
 distributions. These analyses showed phylogeographic signals that reflect
 the different evolutionary histories of these families. Zoogeographical
 zones were detected based on range‐weighted phylogenetic turnover. Values
 of high phylogenetic diversity and endemism were distributed differently
 across families, suggesting niche conservatism, but a general latitudinal
 trend of diversity was evident across taxa. Overall, two main bioregions
 were shared across New World bat taxa (Nearctic and Neotropical), with two
 additional subregions (Andean and La Platan). We found strong support for
 an additional transitional zone in the Pacific coast of South America for
 Emballonuridae and Molossidae. Differences in regionalisation across
 families indicate that niche conservatism, in situ diversification and
 dispersal ability are major drivers for the regionalisation of New World
 bats, within a dual‐centre of diversification scenario. We also found
 strong inter‐familial support for an independent Caribbean biogeographic
 region.
