all_surface_data: The data collection methods for this are listed in the paper under section 2.2. Data includes the river it is collected from, and sediment size data relating to D5, D50, D95, mean, sorting, skewness, kurtosis and fines. Units are listed in the manuscript.

all_subsurface_data: The data collection methods for this are listed in the paper under section 2.2. Data includes the river it is collected from, and sediment size data relating to D5, D50, D95, mean, sorting, skewness, kurtosis, fines and organic matter. Units are listed in the manuscript.

sum_hydro_all: The data collection methods for this are listed in the paper under section 2.3. Data includes summary of hydrologic data and river characteristics from three rivers.Values listed are means, standard deviation, number of replicas, confidence interval (95%) and whether groups were significantly different.

survival_data: The data collection methods for this are listed in the paper under section 2.5, equation 15. These are calculated values relating to estimated egg survival, based on subsurface data for two rivers.

Fecundity: The data collection methods for this are listed in the paper under section 2.5. Rivers with length and number of eggs provided which led to the relationship in equation 13, which were used to estimate fecundity of other barbel.

Overview_2019: An overview of the data collected with details on who collected which data, on which dates and from which institution. It shows which sites have data that is presented in the other tables here and if the data was not collected by the named individual it states the organisation.

redds: The data collection methods for this are listed in the paper under section 2.4. Measurements are taken from the tailspill and pits of redds or adjacent to the redd. Depths, lengths and widths are measured and ellipsoid volumes are calculated from Equation 6 of the manuscript. Raw data provided on number of pebbles out of 30 that fall into phi size categories in mm.
