Description of methods used for collection/generation of data: Literature published between 1970 and 2015 was identified using the Illinois Natural History Survey Freshwater Mollusk Bibliography (http://fms.inhs.illinois.edu/fmi/webd#Mollusk%20Bibliography). The search of the Freshwater Mollusk Bibliography was performed with results limited to those published in 1970 or later for the Superfamily Unionacea in North America and including data on life history, physiology, or glochidia. Articles published 2015-2019 were identified using the annual Freshwater Mollusk Conservation Society bibliographies. Articles were initially reviewed using a scan of the title and abstract to look for relevant data. Articles appearing to have relevant data were read thoroughly. Relevant qualitative and quantitative data on mussel life history, physiology, and population characteristics along with important metadata were extracted and stored in a relational database in Microsoft Access (2016). When necessary, data presented in plots and not available in text or tabular form were extracted using WebPlotDigitizer (Rohatgi, 2020). More details will be available in the published study once available. 2. Methods for processing the data: Data presented in plots and not available in text or tabular form were extracted using WebPlotDigitizer (Rohatgi, 2020). 3. Instrument- or software-specific information needed to interpret the data: MS-Access is required to utilize file B. 4. Standards and calibration information, if appropriate: NA 5. Environmental/experimental conditions: NA 6. Describe any quality-assurance procedures performed on the data: NA 7. People involved with sample collection, processing, analysis and/or submission: Adrian Moore extracted, processed, analyzed, and submitted the data. Dan Hornbach, Nika Galic, Richard Brain, and Valery Forbes provided feedback on data collection process. ----------------------------------------- DATA-SPECIFIC INFORMATION FOR: Moore_et_al_2021_Mussel_Lifehistory.csv ----------------------------------------- 1.
