Mussel occurrence and catchment priorities for mussel conservation in the Northeastern U.S.
This data release includes the data associated with the manuscript "Catchment prioritization for freshwater mussel conservation across the Northeastern United States based on distribution modelling." It describes native freshwater mussel distribution data for Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut as well as catchment priority scores for different conservation activities. The data release also includes some data to enable better understanding of the models used in the associated manuscript such as model standard deviations and model parameter permutation importance values. Some data used in analysis for the associated manuscript is not included with this data release, but it can be downloaded from its original source.
