A QGIS project, and related resources, providing information about study sites investigated in publications reviewed in "Freshwater mollusc sclerochronology: trends, challenges, and future directions".

Freshwater-Mollusc-Sclerochronology-Review_Map_v2.zip

The zipped folder contains a .qgz file and related supporting files to open the study site map displayed in Figure 2 of "Freshwater mollusc sclerochronology: trends, challenges, and future directions".

  • Folder “Base_Map” contains all files used to make the base map. This was Made with Natural Earth. Free vector and raster map data @ naturalearthdata.com.
  • Folder “Map_Symbols” contains .sgv files used as the study site symbols in the map. "FWMSRev_Map-Key.png" is a key to these symbols.
  • Folder “Study-Site_Data” contains individual .csv files for each article included in the map. “Freshwater-Mollusc-Sclerochronology-Review_Map.qgz” is a project-file of the map created in QGIS.

To open the map on your own computer, first, extract all files. Then, open “Freshwater-Mollusc-Sclerochronology-Review_Map.qgz” using the open-source GIS software, QGIS (“Welcome to the QGIS project!,” n.d.)). See "Freshwater-Mollusc-Sclerochronology-Review_Map-Instructions.txt" for further instructions.
