Latest Ordovician (Hirnantian) brachiopod faunal lists used for non-matric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) and network analyses

A total of 107 brachiopod genera of Hirnantian age among 42 localities worldwide are compiled into a binary dataset (Table S1; presence =1, absence = 0). The majority of the faunal lists was derived from the well-screened Hirnantian brachiopod faunal data of Rong et al. (2020). In this study, the Hirnantian faunal lists are updated for the following localities: Anticosti Island, eastern Canada; Edgewood region, American Mid-Continent; Mackenzie Mountains, northwestern Canada. Detailed discussions on these faunal update and references are provided in the main paper (section on Paleobiogeography of the Mackenzie Mountains Hirnantian fauna). 

Methods
The faunal list data were collected from the following sources:

Taxonomic study of the Hirnantian brachiopods from the Mackenzie Mountains (this study).
Taxonomic reassessment of Hirnantian-age brachiopods from Anticosti Island (eastern Canada) and the Edgewood region (American Mid-continent). 
Existing publications that reports Hirnantian-age brachiopods. 

The dataset consists of supplemental data from "Latest Ordovician (Hirnantian) brachiopod faunal lists used for non-matric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) and network analyses" (see Figs. 3 and 4 of main paper)
