Understanding how communities respond to environmental perturbations of varying magnitudes and rates is critical given current climate change. Existing data to address community responses are spread across numerous databases created to address different research questions, with formats that are often not readily comparable. These disparate databases require compilation and standardization to facilitate comparable and comprehensive analyses of community change over time. Here we present the first version of the BioDeepTime database, which combines records assembled previously (e.g., BioTime, Neptune, Neotoma) and novel, primary-literature records in a unified format. The more than one thousand time series included in BioDeepTime were required to meet quality controls (e.g., >10 time points, taxonomically complete, data collection purpose) and include taxa from freshwater, marine, and terrestrial environments. The data provide global coverage and span ecological and paleontological timescales, extending throughout the Cenozoic. BioDeepTime version 1.0 is the first iteration of an ongoing effort to compile the best available time series to enable investigations of changing temporal beta diversity and the relative response of biodiversity to anthropogenic stressors. BioDeepTime will be updated iteratively and will be freely available to the community.
