Description

Using Species Distribution Models (MaxEnt), we project habitat shifts for ten riverine fishes (six endemics) in Iran’s Central Zagros, a critical freshwater biodiversity hotspot, under optimistic (RCP 2.6) and pessimistic (RCP 8.5) scenarios (2050–2080). The data file include all data used in this study.
