Mountain Plover population and habitat assessments in Texas, 2019–2020 Mountain Plover population and habitat assessments in Texas, 2019–2020
We conducted population and habitat assessments for Mountain Plovers in Texas during winters of 2019 and 2020. We used roadside surveys and distance-sampling to estimate bird density and calculate population totals for the study area, which included parts of five ecoregions (Chihuahuan Deserts, High Plains, Central Great Plains, Southern Texas Plains, Texas Blackland Prairies, and...
“ChesBay 24k – LU": Land Use/Land Cover Related Data Summaries for the Chesapeake Bay Watershed Within NHD Plus HR catchments (ver. 3.0, August 2025) “ChesBay 24k – LU": Land Use/Land Cover Related Data Summaries for the Chesapeake Bay Watershed Within NHD Plus HR catchments (ver. 3.0, August 2025)
These tabular data are the summarization of land use/land cover related variables within the Chesapeake Bay watershed using the xstrm methodology bringing these data to the 1:24,000 scale. Variables being counted as land use/land cover related include all land use and land cover data. This also contains datasets that are split off or combined from source data (eg. agriculture or...
“ChesBay 24k – NE": Natural Environment Related Data Summaries for the Chesapeake Bay Watershed Within NHD Plus HR catchments (ver. 4.0, August 2025) “ChesBay 24k – NE": Natural Environment Related Data Summaries for the Chesapeake Bay Watershed Within NHD Plus HR catchments (ver. 4.0, August 2025)
These tabular data are the summarization of natural environment related variables within catchments of the Chesapeake Bay watershed at the 1:24,000 scale using the xstrm methodology. Variables being counted as natural environment related include soils/geology, lithology, elevation, slope, stream gradient, landform (geomorphon) and others. Outputs include tabular comma-separated values...

Hepatic gene expression transcript counts in liver samples of American kestrels Hepatic gene expression transcript counts in liver samples of American kestrels
A number of brominated flame retardants (BFRs) have been reported to interfere with the thyroid signaling pathway and cause oxidative stress in birds, yet the underlying shifts in gene expression associated with these effects remain poorly understood. In this study, we measured hepatic transcriptional responses of 31 genes in American kestrel hatchlings following in ovo exposure to one...
Historical genetic resources for Northwestern Atlantic and Caribbean populations of Roseate Tern Sterna dougallii, 1879-1940 Historical genetic resources for Northwestern Atlantic and Caribbean populations of Roseate Tern Sterna dougallii, 1879-1940
Here we provide public access to UCE DNA sequences for all genetic samples in Byerly et al. 2022.
Droplet digital PCR data for the detection of Smoky Mountain Madtoms in Great Smoky Mountains National Park Droplet digital PCR data for the detection of Smoky Mountain Madtoms in Great Smoky Mountains National Park
Environmental DNA water samples were collected at multiple sites in Great Smoky Mountains National Park in 2016 and 2017 and analyzed with a droplet digital PCR assay to screen for the presence of smoky mountain madtoms. Smoky Mountain madtoms were detected within a section of Abrams Creek, known as the only stream in Great Smoky Mountains National Park that supports this species.
