Data for "Life-history diversity in lakes is associated with ecosystem size"

Dataset 1. List of 71 fish species collected from north temperate lakes in Wisconsin USA. Data include critical life-history data used for strategy classifications according to Winemiller and Rose (1992), principal component scores, and strategy classification according to the cluster analysis.

Dataset 2. Species occurrence data in all study lakes along with results from the 'soft classification" according to Euclidean distance.

Dataset 3. Limnological and fish community characteristics of study lakes including species richness, lake area, estimated lake volume, and convex hull statistics for the overall fish community and each life-history strategy type.
