Data

Brown bullhead were collected from seven sites in Lake Memphremagog in Vermont and Quebec, Hermon Pond in Maine and Village Pond in New Hampshire. Both visibly normal and lesioned adult bullhead were collected at each site. Biological data collected included length, weight, sex, age, condition factor and presence or absence of non-raised and raised black lesions. Plasma from five sites...

This data release contains quality controlled records of citizen submitted observations of black bass (Micropterus spp.) provided to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) through public angler reporting programs. TPWD biologists reviewed, standardized, and anonymized these submissions before sharing the dataset with the U.S. Geological Survey for regional analysis of Blotchy...

This data release contains quality-controlled records of angler-submitted observations of black bass (Micropterus spp.) collected through a two-year citizen science initiative using the MyCatch mobile application. The dataset includes verified catch records for largemouth bass and smallmouth bass, with each entry providing information on catch date, time, location (latitude/longitude)...

This data release contains measurement‑accuracy information derived from angler‑reported fish lengths submitted through a smartphone mobile application. The dataset includes records from multiple fishing events across the United States and Canada in which participating anglers self‑reported total length (TL) for each catch. Lengths were subsequently reviewed and verified by app staff...

This data release contains predictions of stream biological condition as defined by the Chesapeake basin-wide index of biotic integrity for stream macroinvertebrates (Chessie BIBI) as well as prediction of the percentage of the benthic macroinvertebrate assemblage as 1) Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, Trichoptera less Hydropsychidae, 2) Ephemeroptera, and 3) Clingers using Random Forest...

A few studies have focused on avian gut virome variation in response to environmental stressors, but none have assessed virome in relation to chemically intensive crops, the production of which effects various aspects of avian health and fitness, and deleteriously alters available food resources. In this study we used shotgun metatranscriptomics (2 x 150bp; Illumina HiSeq 4000 with...

This dataset includes stream and species data collected in headwater streams on public lands throughout the eastern United States. Data were collected to inform updated species range maps and provide data for large-scale modeling of species ranges using multiple data types. All salamander species encountered are included in the dataset.

The dataset contains observational records of encounters of meadow voles (Microtus pennsylvanicus) trapped at Eastern Ecological Science Center (formerly Patuxent Wildlife Research Center) in Laurel, Maryland, USA. Animals were trapped using Sherman traps from 23 September 1991 to 24 August 1993. Data collected included id, date, age, sex, weight, location and reproductive status.

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

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 544 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 species using the 1 of 4...

The 1966-2024 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...

This study assessed site-specific differences in PFAS in fish from Ashumet Pond (2020 & 2022), Sudbury River (2023), and Great Herring Pond (reference site; 2022) in Massachusetts. Largemouth bass were collected from all sites and banded killifish were collected from Ashumet Pond only. Health assessments were performed and included histology of the liver, spleen, kidneys, gonad, and any
