Data

Data describe the detection of spectaclecase (Cumberlandia monodonta) and mucket (Ortmanniana ligamentina) freshwater mussel environmental DNA (eDNA) from water samples collected from the Big Piney River in Pulaski County, MO, U.S.A. Water samples were collected from 2 sites known to contain the target species by previously surveyed mussel beds. Sampling transects spanned from 100 meters...

This data set includes plot environmental and vegetation sample data for a project documenting conditions at two post-mining restoration sites in the anthracite coal region of Pennsylvania, USA. Samples at the Good Spring restoration site document vegetation and soil conditions following recent remediation and restoration of slopes of mine-waste piles. Samples at the Nanticoke site...

We tested eDNA metabarcoding as a survey tool to examine invertebrate communities in a uranium mine containment pond. We tested samples collected from surface water near mines and from one mine containment pond using one primer set that targeted the COI gene (Leray et al. 2013). Subsequent sequencing of these amplicons was used to assess eDNA genetic signature of invertebrates living in...

This data set includes soil sample and vegetation plot sample data for a project examining the ability of composted soil amendments to improve terrestrial ecological restoration outcomes in a post-contaminant setting. Sites in the Missouri section of the Tri-States Mining District that had been restored and treated with varying levels of composted soil amendments were assessed for...

Concentrations for 26 PFAS detected in muscle tissues (edible fillets) of 16 estuarine fishes collected from four estuaries along Florida’s Atlantic coast between April 2021 and January 2023.

Embryonic zebrafish (Danio rerio) were exposed to 0, 1, 5, 10, or 50 micrograms per liter carbamazepine (CBZ) from 2 hours post fertilization (hpf) through hatching, and then sampled at 48, 72, or 144 hpf. Larvae collected at 48, 72, and 144 hpf were assessed for transcriptomic profiles using RNA sequencing. Larvae collected at 72 and 144 hpf time points were assessed for histological...

This dataset encompasses a series of files related to a comprehensive ecotoxicology research project conducted in high elevation lakes of the Tokopah Basin in Sequoia National Park. The dataset includes detailed sampling data that reflects the copper concentrations at multiple levels of the food web. This dataset also includes morphometric data for collected fish, biomarkers of fish...

This dataset represents passively detected locations of acoustic telemetry tagged Black Carp in the Mississippi and Missouri rivers near their confluence. These river segments consisted of both open river and impounded habitat present during observed hydrologic conditions from 2021-2023. Receiver arrays were set in known use areas (determined by active relocations of tagged fish) and set...

These data include information from 74 sampled stream reaches in the Osage Ecological Drainage Unit (EDU) within the Osage River Basin, Missouri. Streams with a Strahler order from three to six were systematically sampled to assess Niangua darter resource selection across three spatial scales macrohabitat, reach, and watershed scale. Variables used to explain Niangua darter presence at...

This study provides data on the reproductive biology and age of Black Carp (Mylopharyngodon piceus) from various rivers in the Mississippi River Basin. A total of 549 fish samples, collected opportunistically between 2015 and 2023, underwent macroscopic and histological staging to assess reproductive development. Specimens were captured by commercial fishermen and biologists and sent to...

This data set includes survival data for five fish species [Coho Salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch); Brook Trout (Salvelinus fontinalis); Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss); Smallmouth Bass (Micropterus dolomieu); Largemouth Bass (Micropterus nigricans)] exposed to various concentrations of 6PPD-quinone (6PPDQ) for up to 96 hours and then held in clean water for one week post exposure...

Data include counts and locations of fish captured in the mainstem of the Cuyahoga River from 1984 through 2024. Data were collected by USGS (2022-2024) and the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (1984-2021) using standardized electrofishing techniques. Data also include site variables such as physical and chemical properties as well as dam removals that occurred within the river basin...
