Waterfowl Counts and Wildfire Burn Data from the Western Boreal Forest of North America, 1955-2014 Waterfowl Counts and Wildfire Burn Data from the Western Boreal Forest of North America, 1955-2014

The project utilized data from the Waterfowl Breeding Population and Habitat Survey, which is an annual survey conducted since 1955 by the governments of the United States and Canada to monitor waterfowl populations. These survey data were spatially and temporally layered onto long-term databases of fire perimeters for Alaska and western Canada, providing a record of waterfowl transects...

Eelgrass (Zostera marina) Microsatellite DNA Data; Pacific Coast of North America, 2000-2009 Eelgrass (Zostera marina) Microsatellite DNA Data; Pacific Coast of North America, 2000-2009

This data set contains genetic information collected from eelgrass (Zostera marina) populations along the Pacific coast of North America from Alaska to Baha California. A total of 447 samples were collected comprising 401 unique individuals (genets) and 46 clones (ramets) from which 10 microsatellite DNA loci were obtained.

Walrus Bayesian State-space Model Output from the Bering Sea and Chukchi Sea, 2008-2012 Walrus Bayesian State-space Model Output from the Bering Sea and Chukchi Sea, 2008-2012

State-space models offer researchers an objective approach to modeling complex animal location datasets, and state-space model behavior classifications are often assumed to have a link to animal behavior. We evaluated the behavioral classification accuracy of a Bayesian state-space model in Pacific walruses using Argos satellite tags outfitted with sensors to detect animal behavior in...

Spectacled Eider (Somateria fischeri) Nest, Capture, and Resight Records, Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta, Alaska Spectacled Eider (Somateria fischeri) Nest, Capture, and Resight Records, Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta, Alaska

This dataset contains capture, measurement, and resight data from Spectacled Eiders (Somateria fischeri) near the Kashunuk River and on Kigigak Island on the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta, Alaska since 1991. This dataset contains nest visit records of Spectacled Eiders (Somateria fischeri) near the Kashunuk River and on Kigigak Island on the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta, Alaska since 1991.

Stable Isotope Data from Diets and Tissues of Captive Bears Fed Experimental Diets Stable Isotope Data from Diets and Tissues of Captive Bears Fed Experimental Diets

This dataset contains stable isotope incorporation and discrimination results for several sets of feeding experiments with captive brown and polar bears. Experiments were designed to determine the effects of dietary lipid content and fasting behavior on discrimination in blood, hair, and fat. Data are divided into three components of the study: one to estimate isotopic discrimination...

Recreation Survey Results in Brown Bear Habitats, 2013 Recreation Survey Results in Brown Bear Habitats, 2013

These data are the results of a modified Delphi survey in which expert opinion was solicited on the occurrence and frequency of recreational activities in brown bear habitats and their potential impacts. Twelve bear experts were surveyed and identified by either 1) their scientific publications on the impacts of one or more human recreational activity on bears, or 2) their experience in...

Long-tailed Duck (Clangula hyemalis) Microsatellite DNA Data, Alaska, Canada, Russia, 1994-2002 Long-tailed Duck (Clangula hyemalis) Microsatellite DNA Data, Alaska, Canada, Russia, 1994-2002

This data set describes nuclear microsatellite genotypes derived from twelve autosomal loci (6AB, Aph02, Aph08, Aph19, Aph23, Bca10, Bca11, Hhi5, Sfi11, Smo07, Smo09, and CRG), and two Z-linked microsatellite loci (Bca4 and Smo1). A total of 111 Long-tailed Ducks were examined for this genotyping with samples coming from the two primary breeding locales within Alaska (Arctic Coastal...

Chukchi Sea Polar Bear Location Data 1985-1996 Chukchi Sea Polar Bear Location Data 1985-1996

These data are the raw location data collected from satellite radio-collars fitted on adult female polar bears in the Chukchi Sea, between 1985-1996. The collars were worn by adult female polar bears ranging within the Chukchi Sea subpopulation boundaries as identified by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature's Polar Bear Specialist Group. Agros collars were programmed...
