Multiple Thermal Metrics of Four Notropis Species in Missouri (2022-2024) Multiple Thermal Metrics of Four Notropis Species in Missouri (2022-2024)
We estimated thermal preference, acclimated chronic exposure, metabolic thermal optima, and critical thermal maximum for four species in the Notropis genus during 2022-2024. Thermal preference was estimated for Blacknose Shiner (Notropis heterolepis) and Ozark Shiner (N. ozarcanus) for individuals acclimated at both 22°C and 26°C for a minimum of two weeks using a behavioral shuttlebox...
Missouri Stream Conservation and Connectivity Prioritization Tool: Improving and Expanding Existing Conservation Networks Missouri Stream Conservation and Connectivity Prioritization Tool: Improving and Expanding Existing Conservation Networks
The Missouri Stream Conservation and Connectivity Prioritization Tool contains data tabulating costs to traverse between 10,357 origin and 50,135 destination stream reaches throughout the Central Plains and Ozarks aquatic subregions in Missouri. Below are links to data associated with the more northern drainages and also the southern drainages. These data are intended to be used in the...
Data Supporting a Framework to Incorporate Established Conservation Networks into Freshwater Conservation Planning Data Supporting a Framework to Incorporate Established Conservation Networks into Freshwater Conservation Planning
This data set provides the results of a conservation prioritization analysis for wadeable streams in Missouri, USA. Higher values (Maximum of 1) represent higher conservation value. Conservation values were derived using Zonation conservation planning software which used species distribution models, a prioritization algorithm (either Core-Area or Additive Benefit), species weighting...
