Data

Data were collected in association with the application of visible light in laboratory and field settings to elicit behavioral responses from the invasive virile crayfish (Faxonius virilis). Data for laboratory light trials include water temperature, dissolved oxygen, and conductivity, crayfish sex, weight and size, light lux, proportion of time spent in each zone (lit versus unlit)...

Data include locations where shorthead redhorse (Moxostoma macrolepidotum) and silver redhorse (Moxostoma anisurum) were detected following tagging events in the Sandusky and Cuyahoga Rivers, Ohio, USA. Location data were obtained primarily through stationary acoustic receivers, with additional locations from radio towers and mobile acoustic and radio surveys in the Cuyahoga River. The...

Using juvenile individuals of four species of carp (Family: Cyprinidae), we tested the potential for two amino acids and one commercial bait stimulus to elicit an extracellular electro-olfactory response within the naris using gelatin-based electrodes. The amino acids alanine and lysine were tested on grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella), bighead carp (Hypophthalmichthys nobilis), silver...

We measured juveniles from four species, black carp (Mylopharyngodon piceus), bighead carp (Hypophthalmichthys nobilis), silver carp (H. molitrix), and grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella), for thiaminase activity. These data provide previously unknown information about thiaminase activity of three emerging threats (bighead carp, black carp, and grass carp) to the Great Lakes. We tested...

These data are outputs from a mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) reproduction model that accounts for breeding ground arrival time and the body mass of individuals. Specifically, adult female mallards that arrive late or with lower body mass have the potential for lower clutch sizes and are less likely to renest if a nest fails. The model is based on an existing mallard reproduction model that...

This dataset describes the sensitivity (limit of detection and limit of quantification) and specificity (list of species tested against the assays) of two qPCR assays designed to detect the male mitotype of two freshwater mussel species Ortmanniana ligamentina and Cumberlandia monodonta from water samples (eDNA).

Dataset contains measured concentrations of PFAS analytes and limits of detection/quantification for 37 total samples. There are 82 total PFAS analytes (7 non-extracted internal standards, 24 extracted internal standards, and 51 target native analytes) and each individual sample has been quantified for all 82 of these compounds. Samples are extracts of plant tissues from three sources...

Data was collected in association with the exposure of aqueous nickel (NiCl2-H2O) to juvenile crayfish (Faxonius virilis) for 29 days at different concentrations to observe any differences in growth (after 28 days) and food consumption (on day 29). Data for the growth component of the study included crayfish wet weight (initial and final), final carapace length, and crayfish sex. The...

The orthomosaic, digital surface model and point cloud presented here document conditions at Pickle Pond in Superior, Wisconsin in September 2022, prior to planned ecological restoration. Images were collected using a 3D Robotics Solo aircraft with GNSS GPS upgrade, Mission Planner software, and a Pentax Ricoh GRII 3-band digital camera sensor. Imagery acquisition flights were...

Chronic selenium toxicity thresholds are based primarily on dietary organoselenium exposure and subsequent reproductive effects in fish. Available chronic selenium toxicity data suggests that invertebrates are less sensitive than fish, but chronic invertebrate studies are limited. We evaluated yeast-based diets for chronic toxicity studies with Hyalella azteca and Chironomus dilutus...

This dataset represents coarse active relocations of acoustic transmitters in telemetry tagged fish of various species detected among the Mississippi and Missouri rivers near their confluence. These detections of unknown tagged individuals were incidental and occur within the range and frequency of effort for a focused active telemetry study on invasive carp. These river segments consist...

The dataset is an inventory (enumeration and taxonomic identification) of mollusk diet items consumed by wild-caught black carp (Mylopharyngodon piceus), based on the examination of gut contents from black carp collected in the lower Mississippi River drainage of the U.S. in 2019 through 2023.
