Fetches the 'PREDICTS' database and relevant metadata from the Data Portal at the Natural History Museum, London <https://data.nhm.ac.uk>. Data were collated from over 400 existing spatial comparisons of local-scale biodiversity exposed to different intensities and types of anthropogenic pressures, from sites around the world. These data are described in Hudson et al. (2013) <doi:10.1002/ece3.2579>.
