Data associated with the manuscript "Simple statistical models can be sufficient for testing hypotheses with population time series data"

<strong>A new version of this archive exists: </strong>https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.6726961<strong>.</strong> This is the original version of freshwater fish and small mammal data used in the examples for the manuscript, <em>Simple statistical models can be sufficient for testing hypotheses with population time series data. </em>The data are in three files. <em>etodata1.csv</em> and <em>etodata2.csv</em> contain two versions of the same data for shoal-dwelling fishes in the Etowah River and associated environmental covariates. <em>knz_dat</em> contains data for small mammals collected in the Konza Prairie Biological Station and associated environmental covariates. We thank the Konza Prairie Biological Station and Konza Prairie Long-Term Ecological Research Program supported by the National Science Foundation (DEB-1440484) for collecting and providing access to mammal community data. Details on the datasets are included in the manuscript. The new version also includes all R code, in addition to these data files.
