Data

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

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...

The North American Bird Banding Program 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 (1960-2025) consists of over 85 million bird banding, encounter and...

The frequency of cyanobacterial blooms appears to have increased globally in recent decades due to human induced eutrophication and climate change. Cyanobacterial blooms can produce several groups of toxins, among which microcystin-LR (MC-LR) is one of the most abundant. Effects of MC-LR on avian microbiome have not been studied and studies in laboratory murines are limited to...

Geospatial datasets related to 6PPD-quinone, a compound intended to increase the life span of tires, were acquired and integrated into a relative heat index framework across the conterminous United States. 6PPD-quinone is known to be the cause of Coho Salmon kills following storm events, and more is being learned about the impacts it may have on other species. Sources and influential...

Electrofishing is currently the most common method used to assess freshwater fish communities. Although conventional electrofishing practices are considered effective there are inherent limitations. One alternative method for evaluating fish assemblage dynamics is the sequencing of environmental DNA (eDNA) extracted from water samples. Although eDNA sampling has become more common in...

We report two draft genomes of previously undescribed Mycobacterium spp. isolated from invasive Northern snakehead (Channa argus) inhabiting the Chesapeake Bay Watershed, USA. The average nucleotide identity between these isolates and other available genomes was

This dataset contains gene expression data for brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) collected from the Loyalsock Creek watershed in Pennsylvania. Gene expression was quantified for three genes of interest: elongation factor 1-alpha (EF1), SfontSerpinh1 (a heat shock protein gene), and SfontColdRNA (a gene associated with cold response). The dataset was generated to support investigations...

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a class of ubiquitous, environmentally persistent compounds that pose a threat to human and wildlife health. Ospreys (Pandion halieatus) are a model avian species with a documented history of serving as effective bioindicators of contamination. Our study aims to provide a more thorough understanding of PFAS presence in the Chesapeake and...

Cambarus chasmodactylus (New River Crayfish) is one of the largest crayfish species occurring in the Appalachian Mountains and occupies a niche similar to several highly imperiled crayfishes within the same region.Little is known about the behavior and relationship between female crayfishes of this species and their young, and this unexpected clustering behavior of neonates about the...

Data from environmental DNA (eDNA) samples filtered from seawater collected in the Gulf of America during a research expedition on the NOAA Ship Pisces from June 30-July 11, 2022. Samples were collected at depths throughout the water column using Niskins mounted to rosettes on Connectivity-Temperature-Depth instruments (CTDs). Each eDNA sample was amplified using four primer sets: MiFish...

Data from environmental DNA (eDNA) samples filtered from seawater collected in the Gulf of America during a research expedition on the R/V Nancy Foster in August 2022. Samples were collected at depths throughout the water column using Niskins mounted to rosettes on Connectivity-Temperature-Depth instruments (CTDs) or Niskins mounted to remote operated vehicles (ROVs). Each eDNA sample...
