Data from: Latest Ordovician (Hirnantian) brachiopod faunal lists used for non-matric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) and network analyses

<p><span>A total of 107 brachiopod genera of Hirnantian age among 42 localities worldwide are compiled into a binary dataset (Table S1; presence =1, absence = 0). The majority of the faunal lists was derived from the well-screened Hirnantian brachiopod faunal data of Rong et al. (2020). In this study, the Hirnantian faunal lists are updated for the following localities: </span><span>Anticosti Island, eastern Canada; </span><span>Edgewood region, American Mid-Continent; </span><span>Mackenzie Mountains, northwestern Canada. D</span><span>etailed discussions on these faunal update and references are provided in the main paper (section on Paleobiogeography of the Mackenzie Mountains Hirnantian fauna). </span></p>
