Data

In this dataset, there are seven csv files that provide the raw fish behavior telemetry data and a single csv file that provides the processed velocity data.

This dataset contains sample information and SNP genotype data generated from ddRAD libraries for the freshwater mussel Atlanticoncha ochracea, collected across its range from Georgia, USA to Nova Scotia, Canada. These data were used to examine patterns of genomic diversity, and population structure. Raw sequence data are archived externally and processed SNP datasets are provided here.

Nest number, description of nest structure and location, longitude, latitude, dates of observations, presence of adults, eggs, nestlings, outcome of reproductive effort, number of young fledged, weight of menhaden in supplemented osprey nests, osprey nests with reproductively inactive osprey pair, and osprey nest platforms occupied by Canada geese.

Ticks and their diseases are a public health concern, thus novel tick management approaches are needed. Ticks are associated with a variety of microbes, including some fungi known to be pathogens that cause tick host mortality. We characterized the fungal tick mycobiota in Vermont, USA to determine the effects of habitat, management strategy, tick life stage, and season. We also compared...

Previous efforts conducted during the breeding season of 2021 affixed two types of light-weight transmitters to adult and pre-fledgling juvenile Common Terns with leg-loop harnesses made of elastic cord. Subsequent observations of marked birds detected minimal differences in the behavior and nesting success of marked adults, nor were any notable impacts on the growth rate or behavior of...

This data product consists of a database of population change and abundance estimates for North American birds, estimated from North American Breeding Bird Survey (BBS) data. Data are presented for 545 species (or groups of species) of birds in five spreadsheets containing trend estimates for three time periods and annual indices for two time periods. Estimates are derived for each...

During the 2020 breeding season, Double-crested Cormorants invaded the historic breeding colony of a mixed species wading bird rookery in the Chesapeake Bay, resulting in the destruction of suitable nesting habitat and subsequent relocation of the rookery the following breeding season. This new rookery was established at a site where soil pH was being measured for an unrelated study...

The dataset contains information on where the Appalachia Grizzled Skippers (AGS) were found, by state and date (2021-2024). Dataset also provides weather information at time of survey, and duration of survey.

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) has designated Pyrgus wyandot (W. H. Edwards) (Appalachian Grizzled Skipper, AGS) as a Species of Concern based on its declining populations and the paucity of information on its current status. Our objective was to conduct range-wide surveys to locate extant AGS colonies and to quantify the number of AGS observed at each location. From 2021 – 2024...

This data set was collected as part of structured decision-making workshops designed to build Bayesian Decision Networks of habitat management actions in wetlands of the Atlantic Coast Joint Venture region. The models were created as part of an adaptive management framework to reduce uncertainty about management actions. We used formal elicitation process for expert judgment where...

The 1966-2025 North American Breeding Bird Survey (BBS) dataset contains avian point count data for more than 700 North American bird taxa (species, races, and unidentified species groupings). These data are collected annually during the breeding season, primarily in June, along thousands of randomly established roadside survey routes in the United States and Canada. Routes are roughly...

The increased use of agrochemicals to enhance crop production has had detrimental environmental effects. Indeed, pesticides and their deleterious environmental effects have been implicated in the sharp decline in North American farmland-breeding birds. Here, using a combination of deep shotgun metatranscriptomics and pesticide exposure data, we sought to assess whether exposure to cotton
