Data - Gallagher et al, Geologic history explains freshwater fish species richness across the conterminous USA
This dataset combines fish assemblage data from the EPA National Rivers and Streams Assessment, elevation data from an EPA R package called elevatr, fish species native/non-native designations from the USGS Nonindigenous Aquatic Species (NAS) database, glaciation shapefiles from a public online textbook, and phylogenetic and fish trait data from two previously published studies.
This dataset is associated with the following publication:
Gallagher, B., E. Santos, M. Dumelle, P. Kaufmann, and J. Ebersole. Geologic History Explains Freshwater Fish Species Richness Across the Conterminous USA. Global Ecology and Biogeography. Wiley InterScience, Silver Spring, MD, USA, 34(10): e70139, (2025).
