Observed occurrence of Eastern red-spotted newts (Notophthalmus viridescens) in the Northeastern United States Observed occurrence of Eastern red-spotted newts (Notophthalmus viridescens) in the Northeastern United States

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...

Estimates of avian influenza transmission risk across the wild waterfowl - domestic poultry interface (ver. 2.0, May 2024) Estimates of avian influenza transmission risk across the wild waterfowl - domestic poultry interface (ver. 2.0, May 2024)

These data describe the creation, execution, and results of an effort to model the risk of avian influenza transmission across the wild waterfowl - domestic poultry interface at weekly intervals for the contiguous United States.

Landscape data compiled for fish health sites in and around the Chesapeake Bay Watershed. Landscape data compiled for fish health sites in and around the Chesapeake Bay Watershed.

These data include estimates of landcover and land use characteristics including high phytoestrogen crop cover, estimated pesticide applications, EPA PFAS facilities, nutrients from biosolids, and select climate (temperature and precipitation) variables summarized for several fish health sites in the eastern United States.

Attribution of benthic macroinvertebrate sampling data to NHDPlus V2 and NHDPlus HR catchments within the Chesapeake Bay Watershed Attribution of benthic macroinvertebrate sampling data to NHDPlus V2 and NHDPlus HR catchments within the Chesapeake Bay Watershed

This data release links benthic macroinvertebrate sites to both the NHDPlus Version 2 and NHDPlus High Resolution Region 02 networks, hereafter referred to as V2 and HR, using the hydrolink methodology. Linked benthic macroinvertebrate sites are those included in the Chesapeake Bay Basin-wide Index of Biotic Integrity (Chessie BIBI) developed by the Interstate Commission on the Potomac...

Capture-recapture data for a restored population of Blue Ridge sculpin (Cottus caeruleomentum) with environmental covariates Capture-recapture data for a restored population of Blue Ridge sculpin (Cottus caeruleomentum) with environmental covariates

This dataset includes spatial capture-recapture data for a restored population of Blue Ridge sculpin (Cottus caeruleomentum) with stream temperature and stream flow observations in Big Hunting Creek, Maryland.

International compilation of peak discharge estimates of floods and runoff-generated debris flows, 1931-2023 International compilation of peak discharge estimates of floods and runoff-generated debris flows, 1931-2023

This data release contains an international compilation of 656 peak discharge estimates of floods and runoff-generated debris flows. The data (“DimensionlessDischarge.csv” and “CrossSections.csv”) were obtained from the literature and measured in the study Cavagnaro and others (2024). The dataset also includes information about flow depth, flow type (flood or debris flow), flow cross...

Deep SEARCH eDNA metabarcoding data Deep SEARCH eDNA metabarcoding data

The Deep SEARCH Project (Deep sea exploration to advance research on cold corals/canyon/cold seep habitats) included a cruise in April 2019 aboard the NOAA ship Ron Brown to various sites along the Mid-Atlantic North American coast. An ROV was used to collect samples of bottom water at these sites, which were then subjected to eDNA extraction and analyses. This data release describes...
