Results of Virus Isolation and Serology testing on Influenza A Virus Samples from Lesser Scaup (Aythya affinis) and Greater Scaup (Aythya Marila) Results of Virus Isolation and Serology testing on Influenza A Virus Samples from Lesser Scaup (Aythya affinis) and Greater Scaup (Aythya Marila)

These data describe the results of virus isolation from oropharyngeal/cloacal swabs and testing of sera by a commercial blocking enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (bELISA) and hemagglutinin (HA) specific testing by microneutralization (MN) and hemagglutination inhibition (HI) for Lesser Scaup in both the Atlantic and Pacific Flyways and Greater Scaup in the Pacific Flyway. These data...

2024 Release - North American Breeding Bird Survey Dataset (1966 - 2023) 2024 Release - North American Breeding Bird Survey Dataset (1966 - 2023)

The 1966-2023 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 dataset includes surveys for the Eastern red-spotted newt (Notophrhalamus viridescens viridescen). The survey data includes 264 survey sites, landscape level covariates including human interference index, and landcover type, and survey level covariates including survey date and detection method.

Apical outcomes associated with exposure of Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica) to hexabromocyclododecane flame retardant: F0 and F1 generation Apical outcomes associated with exposure of Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica) to hexabromocyclododecane flame retardant: F0 and F1 generation

This data set was generated from a study investigating potential effects of hexabromocyclododiene (HBCD) exposure across multiple generations of Japanese quail, (Coturnix japonica, JQ). Exposures ranged from dietary for the initial generation (F0), to dietary and possible maternal deposition) for the second generation (F1), and possible maternal deposition only for the third generation...

RADSeq Data to assess population structure of Desmophyllum pertusum found along the United States eastern continental margin RADSeq Data to assess population structure of Desmophyllum pertusum found along the United States eastern continental margin

This dataset contains metadata about the origin of the cold-water coral samples that were RAD sequenced and the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) generated for population genomic analyses. These data were used to examine patterns of genomic structure of Desmophyllum pertusum from throughout US waters along the eastern continental margin and the Gulf of Mexico. The raw sequence data...

Bayesian Composition Sampling Bayesian Composition Sampling

R Code to Run Composition Sampling for Cook et al. 2023 The aim of this software is to perform composition sampling on simulated disease observation data. Composition sampling is a valuable approach for statistical inference in data limited systems. This software implements composition sampling on simulated chronic wasting disease surveillance data in white-tailed deer in Michigan, U.S...

Surface Elevation Table (SET) data from the Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge (2010-2013) Surface Elevation Table (SET) data from the Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge (2010-2013)

Here we provide data used to report on changes in tidal marsh elevation at the Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge (NWR), located in Dorchester, Maryland, USA. This dataset includes Surface Elevation Table (SET) measurements taken from 40 SET platforms distributed across the refuge. At each platform location annual measurements of wetland surface elevation were made from 20010-2013.

Expert judgment data for a Bayesian decision network of prescribed fire in Gulf of Mexico marshes (ver. 1.1, August 2025) Expert judgment data for a Bayesian decision network of prescribed fire in Gulf of Mexico marshes (ver. 1.1, August 2025)

This data set was collected as part of structured decision-making workshops designed to build a Bayesian Decision Network of prescribed fire in high marshes of the Gulf of Mexico. As part of a formal elicitation process for expert judgment, workshop participants independently created conditional probability tables based on a conceptual model of prescribed fire in high marsh ecosystems...
