Data from: Species delimitation in endangered groundwater salamanders: implications for aquifer management and biodiversity conservation
Groundwater-dependent species are among the least-known components of global biodiversity, as well as some of the most vulnerable because of rapid groundwater depletion at regional and global scales. The karstic Edwards–Trinity aquifer system of west-central Texas is one of the most species-rich groundwater systems in the world, represented by dozens of endemic groundwater-obligate species with narrow, naturally fragmented distributions. Here, we examine how geomorphological and hydrogeological processes have driven population divergence and speciation in a radiation of salamanders (Eurycea) endemic to the Edwards–Trinity system using phylogenetic and population genetic analysis of genome-wide DNA sequence data. Results revealed complex patterns of isolation and reconnection driven by surface and subsurface hydrology, resulting in both adaptive and non-adaptive population divergence and speciation. Our results uncover new cryptic species diversity and refine the borders of several threatened and endangered species. The U.S. Endangered Species Act has been used to bring state regulation to unrestricted groundwater withdrawals in the Edwards (Balcones Fault Zone) Aquifer, where listed species are found. However, the Trinity and Edwards–Trinity (Plateau) aquifers harbor additional species with similarly small ranges that currently receive no protection from regulatory programs designed to prevent groundwater depletion. Based on regional climate models that predict increased air temperature, together with hydrologic models that project decreased springflow, we conclude that Edwards–Trinity salamanders and other co-distributed groundwater-dependent organisms are highly vulnerable to extinction within the next century.
Areas of global importance for conserving terrestrial biodiversity, carbon, and water
<p><strong>Content:</strong><br> This data repository contains the results of the NatureMap ( naturemap.earth/) conservation prioritization effort. The maps were created by jointly optimizing biodiversity and NCPs such as carbon and/or water.</p> <p><strong>Usage notes:</strong><br> Maps are supplied at both 10km and 50km resolution unless specified differently in the manuscript.<br> All maps that aim to find priority areas for all species considered in the analysis, utilize a series of representative sets.<br> The ranks for each layer are area-specific and can be used to extract summary statistics by simple subsetting.<br> For example:<br> To obtain the top 30% of land area for biodiversity and carbon, one needs to create a mask of all areas lower than a value of 30 from the respective ranked layers.</p> <p>For convenience two files are supplied that contain the fraction of land area per grid cell times 1000. Multiplying those with the cell area (100km2, respectively 2500km2) gives the exact amount of land area in a given grid cell.<br> These are labelled " globalgrid_mollweide_**km.tif " can be used to create masks for the priority maps.</p> <p><strong>Spatial resolution:</strong></p> <p>10 and 50 km</p> <p><strong>Geographic projection:</strong><br> World Mollweide Equal Area projection<br> PROJ4 ( +proj=moll +lon_0=0 +x_0=0 +y_0=0 +datum=WGS84 +units=m +no_defs )</p> <p><strong>Filename suffix description:</strong></p> <p><em>'minshort_speciestargets'</em><br> =- Problem formulation where targets were achieved by minimzing a shortfall</p> <p><em>'repruns10'</em><br> =- The number of representative that were used to create the ranked layer</p> <p><em>'biome.id'</em><br> =- Species distribution were split by biome, thus creating separate targets for subpopulation</p> <p><em>'withPA'</em><br> =- Fractions of current protected areas (Date: WDPA 2019) were locked in as baseline and starting budget.

Dataset - Drying out fish ponds, for an entire growth season, as an agroecological practice: maintaining primary producers for fish production and biodiversity conservation
<p>This dataset is based on samples taken from fish ponds in the Dombes region between 2007 and 2014. It includes sediment and water physio-chemistry data, as well as primary producer diversity, benthic invertebrate density and fish yield for 85 different ponds. All these data are linked to the distance to the last dry-out, a major practice in extensive fish farming in this region.</p> <p>There are two .tab and .csv files:<br> One containing the dataset<br> One containing the description of the different variables (Metadata)</p>
