Data from Field and Laboratory Evaluation of Pneumatic Lift of Upstream Migrant Eels at EESC Conte Lab, 2023-2024 Data from Field and Laboratory Evaluation of Pneumatic Lift of Upstream Migrant Eels at EESC Conte Lab, 2023-2024
In this dataset, there are three tabular data (.csv) files that provide: a) data on physical measurements (length, weight) of test individual fish (rows) and their immediate and delayed (12, 24, 36, 48, and 96 h) post-test mortalities (Fish Metrics and Mortality.csv); b) data on conditions for each test trial (rows) of the pneumatic lift at three test lift heights, the resultant number...
Data and code to support the Priority Ecosystems Studies Large Landscapes fisheries management publication Data and code to support the Priority Ecosystems Studies Large Landscapes fisheries management publication
This data release provides a documentation of datasets and code used in a fisheries management analysis and a model application to reproduce results.
Documentation of Mitochondrial Genomes of Micropterus cataractae, Micropterus henshalli, and Micropterus punctulatus Documentation of Mitochondrial Genomes of Micropterus cataractae, Micropterus henshalli, and Micropterus punctulatus
This dataset contains the complete mitochondrial genomes of three black bass species: Micropterus cataractae (shoal bass), Micropterus henshalli (Alabama bass), and Micropterus punctulatus (spotted bass). These genomes were generated to address longstanding gaps in available reference data and to support conservation, biosurveillance, invasive-species management, and environmental DNA...
Presumptive sources and relative heat index of 6PPD-quinone at the NHDPlus HR scale in the Delaware River Basin Presumptive sources and relative heat index of 6PPD-quinone at the NHDPlus HR scale in the Delaware River Basin
Geospatial datasets of sources and landscape characteristics expected to contribute 6PPD-quinone, a compound intended to increase the life span of tires, to surface waters were acquired and integrated into a relative heat index framework across the Delaware River Basin. 6PPD-quinone is known to be the cause of coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) kills following storm events, and recent...

Data describing H5N1 Avian Influenza Infection and Exposure in Sandhill Cranes wintering in Staten Island, California Data describing H5N1 Avian Influenza Infection and Exposure in Sandhill Cranes wintering in Staten Island, California
We sampled 31 Greater and two Lesser Sandhill Cranes (Antigone canadensis tabida and Antigone canadensis canadensis, respectively) wintering in California’s Central Valley during the 2023 - 2024 and 2024 - 2025 seasons to assess active infection with IAV.
Data describing H5N1 Avian Influenza Infection and Exposure in Waterfowl and Waterbirds of the Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge Complex Data describing H5N1 Avian Influenza Infection and Exposure in Waterfowl and Waterbirds of the Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge Complex
The introduction of clade 2.3.4.4b highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1 into North America in 2021 marked a significant shift in disease dynamics for wild waterfowl populations. To assess infection and seroprevalence trends following this incursion, we leveraged ongoing capture efforts at the Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge Complex between October 2022 and July 2025 to...
North American Bird Banding Program Dataset 1960-2026 retrieved 2026-07-15 North American Bird Banding Program Dataset 1960-2026 retrieved 2026-07-15
The North American Bird Banding Program (NABBP) is administered by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Bird Banding Laboratory (BBL), Eastern Ecological Science Center at the Patuxent Research Refuge (EESC) and in Canada by the Bird Banding Office (BBO), Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC). This long-term dataset (1960-2026) contains over 87 million bird banding, encounter and...
Data describing IAV surveillance and serosurveillance in Common Terns during the 2025 breeding season. Data describing IAV surveillance and serosurveillance in Common Terns during the 2025 breeding season.
These data describe results derived form the sampling of Common Terns at three breeding colonies in the Atlantic Flyway to understand prevalence of infection with influenza A viruses and seroprevalence to the same.
Influence of Hydraulic Drop on Fishway Entrance Success for American Shad (Alosa sapidissima) Influence of Hydraulic Drop on Fishway Entrance Success for American Shad (Alosa sapidissima)
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.
Genomic data from reduced representation DNA sequencing libraries of Atlanticoncha ochracea (tidewater mucket) across U.S. and Canadian locations Genomic data from reduced representation DNA sequencing libraries of Atlanticoncha ochracea (tidewater mucket) across U.S. and Canadian locations
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.
