**5.1 Occurrence points**

It is necessary to prepare a database with presence and absence points of the focal species. This step can include the georeferencing of points (latitude x longitude) and the exclusion of doubtful or inaccurate information. Occurrence data can be obtained from biodiversity data providers such as Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) and The Inter-American Biodiversity Information Network (IABIN). Also, to search occurrences in the literature or perform new local surveys can provide additional information.
