  1. Variables were categorised as one of ‘directly transcribed’ or ‘derived’. Directly transcribed variables reflected information extracted directly from the data source, whereas derived variables required interpretation, based on clearly defined standards and definitions, by the data recorder. SAR Public Registry and reports: https://www.canada.ca/en/environment-climate-change/services/species-risk-public-registry.html. Estimated extent of occurrence, index of area of occupancy and locations are defined in https://www.cosewic.ca/index.php/en-ca/about-us/definitions-abbreviations.html.
