Frimpong 20150615 maps and data http://journals.plos.org/plosone/s/journal-information Plos One http://dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0129995 Fish occurrence data to support high-resolution distribution models and test various community and macroecological hypotheses have not been available at the national scale. We present IchthyMaps, a database of high-quality historical fish occurrences covering fishes of the conterminous United States. Designed on the principles of metacommunity ecology, IchthyMaps is a compilation of presence records from atlases up to 1990, at the resolution of the 1:100,000 National Hydrography Database Plus (NHDPlus) inter-confluence stream segment, readily aggregated into hierarchically coarser units (e.g. hydrologic unit code 8-digit and 12-digit watersheds). IchthyMaps contains about 606,550 presence records for 1,038 species and subspecies. These presence records occurred on 224,305 NHDPlus interconfluence stream segments, representing > 10% average sampling intensity. IchthyMaps is publicly accessible through USGS' ScienceBase infrastructure. It offers unprecedented opportunities for both basic and applied research and conservation initiatives in areas such as studying biogeography, gap analysis, and assessments of impacts of land use, species invasions, and climate change. More generally, this database broadens our capability to conduct research on fish ecology, biogeography, and management. This database was primarily developed for a project developing species distribution models or habitat suitability models for the conterminous United States. Data in this database also meets the needs of addressing other fundamental or applied issues such as biodiversity conservation, impact of climate change, and non-native fish invasions at multiple scale. 19500101 19901231 publication date Complete Not planned -125.0 -65.0 50.0 24.0 Conterminous U.S. USGS Biocomplexity Thesaurus Biological sampling Freshwater fishes Species presence Spatial distribution Historical data Ecological distribution None Species presence Historical data USGS Metadata Identifier USGS:5446a5a1e4b0f888a81b816d None United States Alabama Arkansas Arizona California Colorado Connecticut District of Columbia Deleware Florida Georgia Idaho Illinois Indiana Kansas Kentucky Louisiana Massachusetts Maryland Maine Michigan Minnesota Missouri Mississippi Montana North Carolina North Dakota Nebraska New Hampshire New Jersey New Mexico Nevada New York Ohio Oklahoma Oregon Pennsylvania Rhode Island South Carolina South Dakota Tennessee Texas Utah Virginia Vermont Washington Wisconsin West Virginia Wyoming Conterminous United States This dataset is open and non proprietary.

evaluating data quality included: 1) only using high-resolution atlases that show both fish presence location and stream networks clearly; 2) verifying geographic coordinates of species presences 3) spatially joining each record to the correct NHDPlusV2 inter-confluence segments; 4) updating the taxon classification of each species in the Integrated Taxonomic Information System (ITIS); and 5) evaluating the accuracy of presence and absence by developing species distribution model. See the section 'Attribute Accuracy' for a description of the spatial QA/QC process. No formal completeness assessment conducted. See abstract and processing steps for more information. Positional accuracy was verified by cross-checking sample locations and spatially joining them to flowlines of the NHDPlusV2. Please see processing steps for more information. Bailey, R. M., W. C.

Multistate Aquatic Resources Information System (MARIS) 2013 Tabular data with spatial reference Reston, VA U.S. Geological Survey Tabular data with spatial reference Unknown 2013 Publication Date MARIS Data collected before 1990 were extracted from the MARIS dataset. Data for the following state: IK, AR, KY, VA, AL, FL, OH, LA, MN, WI, MI, NM, PA, MD, NV, UT, GA, MO, IL, IA, SC, and KS. Step 1: We removed the maps from each book for all the states and regions where atlases were of usable detail and quality, for efficient creation of undistorted, high-resolution maps. Each batch (book) of species occurrence atlases was digitized into raster layers through scanning and stored separately. Most printed maps of fish species presence used in this project were displayed on a base stream network map of a resolution that was very close to the NHDPlusV2. 2012 Step 2: The digitized species occurrence atlases were then geo-rectified and geo-referenced to have the same coordinate and projection system as the NHDPlusV2 base map in ArcInfo (version 10). Geo-referencing many thousands of raster maps could be very time-consuming due to base maps of different sources, maps showing only sections of the country, and varied types of distortion in the scanning process. Therefore, we developed book-by-book templates with optimal coordinate and projection systems that greatly sped up this process. After geo-referencing the points on the maps to stream segments, the segments became representatives of locations where we consider fish sampling to have previously occurred. 2012 Step 3: Presence records of each species, usually marked as dots or circles on the maps, were extracted by Feature Analyst, an automated feature extraction extension for ArcInfo (Textron Systems, Providence, RI). Feature Analyst allowed rapid and accurate digitizing of target vector features from raster layers (e.g., occurrence points from geo-referenced maps in this case). We began by creating a shapefile of point feature class for each geo-referenced atlas, and providing Feature Analyst with a set of training features (e.g., dots, circles, triangles) matching the symbols for species occurrence, depending on symbols used in the original atlases. After setting up the learning parameters (e.g. searching extent, tolerance of similarity), feature analyst automatically searched symbols similar to those in the training set of the targeted species occurrence map. After running Feature Analyst, a technician inspected and adjusted the output point shapefile by adding the neglected points and removing false-positive errors. Multiple training and learning were iterated when multiple symbols corresponding to different time frames of data collection were used in a single map or when dense occurrence points existed. A point shapefile of occurrences for each species from each book was ultimately stored in a folder of map sources. 2013 Step 4: Once shapefiles had been created for all scanned atlases, we used python scripts (Python 2.7) to populate the scientific name of each species and add latitude and longitude coordinates for each point in the attribute table of the species occurrence point shapefile. The updated attribute tables containing species name and latitude and longitude coordinates were integrated by merging all rows of records for each species. It turned out that integrating different GIS layers and all records for a single species through processing attribute tables was much more efficient than merging thousands of shapefiles in ArcGIS. We imported the “.DBF” files (i.e., attribute table) associated with the presence point shapefiles into the R program iteratively to join the imported tables by row in a ‘for’ loop. As a result, all the presence records were integrated into a table with 3 columns (species’ scientific name, latitude and longitude of presence). We named this table as all-presence tables because it synthesized all presence records of fish species we collated from the historical atlases. We spatially joined presence records in this table to the NHDPlusV2 inter-confluence stream segments, HUC (hydrologic unit code) 8-digit and 12-digit watersheds in ArcGIS, so potential users can conveniently query the database at different scales. 2014 Step 5: To construct a metacommunity matrix for a region, one need firstly querying the presence records of the region from the IchthyMaps database. Those sampled segments with at least one presence of a non-game species recorded and no presence record of a focal species were designated as absences for that species. Game fish which are mostly sampled in targeted species surveys were excluded from inferring the absence of other species. Inferring absence from metacommunity database assumes that sampling was sufficient to detect all species occurred at each unit. The created metacommunity matrix is essentially a presence-absence matrix with study units (segment or watershed) as the row names and species as the column names. Each row of the presence-absence matrix represents co-occurrences of species belonging to a regional pool, and a column lists the presence and absence of a species at the study units. Creating presence-absence matrix from all-presence table can be done with the R “xtabs” function. 2014 Lab We developed the IchthyMaps database by collating and synthesizing species occurrence records from atlases of freshwater fishes throughout the conterminous United States. We determined the general time frame when the occurrence records were obtained by referring to the books’ prefaces or contacting the authors, although other information (e.g. method of collection, and sampling effort) was usually not specified for individual occurrence records in these atlases. Majority of the fish distribution atlases collected were published during 1970 to 1990 and presence records were sampled during 1950 to 1990 by electro-fishing. Therefore, we considered occurrence records up to 1990 as a practical cutoff for historical distributions, with the assumption that overall habitat and fish community of each stream segment did not change dramatically during this era compared to changes that might have happened since 1990 or could be of particular research and conservation interest in the future.
