Inventory Data of Lowland-Breeding Birds and Associated Vegetation Types on the Alaska Peninsula, 2004-2007 Inventory Data of Lowland-Breeding Birds and Associated Vegetation Types on the Alaska Peninsula, 2004-2007

This release includes data collected using stratified random surveys to inventory the birds breeding in lowlands (elevation below 100m) of the Alaska Peninsula, during summers 2004-2007. Data were collected at 792 survey points (10-minute point counts) on 52 5-km x 5-km plots. The data are in seven tables: 1) geographic coordinates of the bounding corners of each of the 52 survey plots...

Location Data for Petrographic Samples and Isotopic and Age Data from Detrital Zircon Grains from Selected Rock Samples from St. Lawrence Island and the Western Brooks Range, Alaska Location Data for Petrographic Samples and Isotopic and Age Data from Detrital Zircon Grains from Selected Rock Samples from St. Lawrence Island and the Western Brooks Range, Alaska

This dataset contains a list of geologic station localities on St. Lawrence Island, Alaska, from which thin section samples were examined. The dataset also contains U-Pb isotopic data and ages of detrital zircon (DZ) from sedimentary rocks collected on St. Lawrence Island and in the western Brooks Range. All St. Lawrence Island samples (DZ and thin sections) were collected by U.S...

Data Used to Assess the Acute Physiological Response of Polar Bears to Helicopter Capture Data Used to Assess the Acute Physiological Response of Polar Bears to Helicopter Capture

This dataset is in five tables with data from ecophysiological studies of free-ranging polar bears of the Southern Beaufort Sea subpopulation. They were equipped with high-resolution activity sensors, body temperature loggers, and GPS satellite-telemetry collars, to compare physiological state and activity of bears during natural behavior with that experienced by bears during helicopter...

Data Supporting Studies of Waterbird and Arctic Lake Ecosystems within the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska, 1974-1992 Data Supporting Studies of Waterbird and Arctic Lake Ecosystems within the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska, 1974-1992

This data package presents raw legacy data collected during 1974-1992 on the Arctic Coastal Plain (primarily in the National Petroleum Reserve - Alaska; NPR-A). The data were collected in support of a long-term multi-species wetland ecosystem study that aimed to provide an understanding of occurrence and densities of bird, mammal, fish, invertebrate, and plant species. The study included...

Arthropod Abundance and Shrub Cover and Height on the Seward Peninsula, Alaska, 2015-2016 Arthropod Abundance and Shrub Cover and Height on the Seward Peninsula, Alaska, 2015-2016

This data set contains information (in three tables) with numbers and biomass of invertebrates (primarily arthropods) collected in pitfall-trap arrays and sweep-net samples on a series of plots (n = 13 total) at one coastal and one interior study site on the Seward Peninsula in northwestern Alaska during the summers of 2015 and 2016. Associated data on the horizontal cover and height of...

Fish Communities of the Nearshore Beaufort Sea, Alaska, Across Three Decades, 1988-2019 Fish Communities of the Nearshore Beaufort Sea, Alaska, Across Three Decades, 1988-2019

This dataset contains two tables comprising catch per unit effort (CPUE) data and length measurements from fish surveys conducted in the nearshore Beaufort Sea, Alaska, between 1988 and 2019. Historical data collected by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) includes fish catch and fish length data (measured from a subset of the total catch) from two eras, 1988-1991 and 2003-2005...
