Data

The dataset includes identification, densities, and dry masses of aquatic invertebrates and crustaceans sampled in benthic and water column habitats of Great Basin terminal lakes in California, Nevada, Oregon, and Utah during 2024 and 2025

This data release provides per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) data from dragonfly larvae (various species) and surface water collected on National Park Service lands, U.S Fish and Wildlife refuges, and Tribal lands across the continental United States between 2021-2024.

We captured Mohave ground squirrels from four study sites in the Coso Range, California, between 1988 and 2021. This dataset includes capture and recapture records of squirrels at each site and individual and environmental variables associated with those records. We used these data in a mark-recapture analysis to estimate six demographic parameters of Mohave ground squirrels: survival...

This dataset contains lake watershed shapes depicting the total drainage areas for 20 terminal and/or saline lakes in the Great Basin, USA. The associated data release for the lake boundaries is https://doi.org/10.5066/P13QP2TK. Lake watershed areas were processed using ArcGIS Pro (v. 3.5.6). Dataset also contains a csv file containing the National Hydrography Dataset - hydrologic unit...

This dataset contains observations used to better understand wildlife and domestic livestock use of wildfire sites 2-15 years post-wildfire with different post-fire restoration treatments (post-fire seeding of native or non-native species). Field data come from 9 wildfire sites in the Northern Basin and Range Ecoregion spanning Idaho and Oregon. Vegetation structure and composition...

Comma-separated values (.csv) files containing data related to mercury concentrations in biota tissues collected from the Columbia River Basin in the Pacific Northwest.

Version 1.0 of the Pacific Northwest Standard Taxonomic Effort (PNW-STE) is the culmination of many years’ work and builds greatly off the 2015 preliminary version hosted at the Pacific Northwest Aquatic Monitoring Partnership web site (www.PNAMP.org). This tool standardizes the nomenclature and taxonomic targets for data generated from freshwater benthic macroinvertebrate biomonitoring...

Map of deer mouse distribution developed from a probability of occurrence map created using multi-scale vegetation, abiotic, and anthropogenic features.

Stream temperatures were monitored year-round in select sub-watersheds across the Aquatic and Riparian Effectiveness Monitoring Program (AREMP) area from 2010 to 2019. Data from these surveys were compiled to (1) statistically analyze paired water-air temperature data, (2) quantify the sensitivity of their thermal regime, and (3) determine the relative importance of management actions...

This dataset contains: 1) species-specific vocal detection histories for six forest owl species surveyed at 577 passive acoustic monitoring stations in areas with and without barred owl removal in Washington and Oregon, 2020; 2) site-level covariates used to model the probability of detection during passive acoustic surveys; 3) site-level covariates used to model the probability of site...

This dataset contains information from egg mass surveys conducted 2001-2024 by USGS monitoring Oregon spotted frog (Rana pretiosa) and Northern red-legged frog (Rana aurora) breeding counts, phenology, and embryo viability. Oregon spotted frog breeding surveys were conducted at 9 ponds in a restored meadow in Deschutes National Forest in Deschutes County, Oregon. Northern red-legged frog...

This dataset includes subplot-level ecosystem carbon stocks and functional plant group cover prior to fuel-treatment and ten years after fuel-treatment. Carbon pools include live trees, burned trees, tree litter, shrubs, annual herbaceous vegetation, perennial herbaceous vegetation, dead herbaceous vegetation, coarse woody debris, interspace litter, interspace roots, soil organic carbon...
