Authors contributions
KCT, JAG, and ACH conceived and primarily developed the database, with funding acquired by ACH. Data collection, organisation, and formatting were led by KCT and ACH. ACH performed the landscape feature mapping and analyses. Data on bat parasites and hyperparasites were compiled and curated by DH. The first draft of the manuscript was written by KCT and ACH. KCT performed data visualisation. All authors provided inputs and suggestions on the draft and approved the final manuscript. The majority of the authors provided data to at least one of the DarkCideS datasets.
