We designed and implemented snake-resistant nestboxes and tested their efficacy as a conservation tool by comparing nest survival in nestboxes to natural nests for Aplonis opaca (Såli, Micronesian Starling) on Guam. During 2016-2018, we monitored 340 nest attempts by 40 A. opaca pairs nesting in nestboxes and 53 attempts by 32 pairs nesting in natural nests (outside of nestboxes), for a...

Data were collected on the seed production and genetic diversity of Lepidium draba, an invasive plant. Site characteristics were also measured for 26 sites throughout northern Colorado. In addition, a pollen supplementation experiment was conducted at six of those sites, in which L. draba plants were pollinated with within-population pollen, among-population pollen, or were not...

This data release includes a set of 25 rasters representing solutions (and associated input data) to two sagebrush conservation problems that identify optimal sites across the state of Wyoming for protection or restoration action (based on management-relevant inputs and constraints). The arid sagebrush-steppe ecosystems of western North America are undergoing substantial loss and...

The dataset contains the gastrointestinal contents of 275 Argentine black and white tegus (Salvator merianae) collected between 2016 and 2021 from two geographically isolated populations in Florida: one in Miami-Dade County, established around 2011, and another in Charlotte County, established in 2018. Dietary analysis revealed a broad spectrum of consumed items, including vertebrates

These data contain results and model code from the North American Bat Monitoring Program's (NABat) integrated species distribution and trend models for the hoary bat (Lasiurus cinereus) and silver-haired bat (Lasionycteris noctivagans). These results document population status and trends based on the first continental-scale, comprehensive analysis of NABat data for tree bats (2012–2023)

This data release provides data from the 2016 Lesmeister et al. technical report and Mathematica and Python analytical code to model co-occurrence effects between barred (Strix varia) and northern spotted (Strix occidentalis caurina) owls. This data release, containing sample data set and code, is designed to facilitate reproducibility of analyses associated with the manuscript titled...

This dataset provides a predictive ecological state map for the Southwest Sandy and Loamy Uplands Ecological Site Group (ESG). We developed a machine learning approach to predict ecological states by training vegetation cover data from three remotely sensed datasets—Rangeland Analysis Platform (RAP), Rangeland Condition Monitoring Assessment and Projection (RCMAP), and Landscape Cover...

These data include a collection of 3-dimensional (3D) point clouds from three New Mexico landscapes and associated field-collected validation data accompanying each scan. The data were collected in fall of 2022-2023 across three montane New Mexico landscapes - similar in climate but differing in disturbance histories. Landscapes include a intensely and repeatedly burned shrubfield, a...

We developed and report a microsatellite data set composed of 52 microsatellite loci for 2305 individuals from 20 bison conservation herds (17 US federal, 1 tribal, 2 Canadian) and a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) data set composed of 5013 biallic loci for 376 individuals from 16 bison conservation herds that were used as part of a broader study. We also developed an algorithm to...

This study generated genetic polymorphism data at a genome scale by whole-genome shotgun DNA sequencing of Mariana Crow (Corvus Kubaryi). DNA was extracted from blood tissue originally collected nonlethally from field monitoring efforts, captive rearing, and carcasses, under permit of the US Fish and Wildlife Service. Sequencing libraries were generated for the Illumina sequencing...

The U.S. Geological Survey gathered historic aerial photography and remote sensing imagery from a variety of sources for mapping channel change along a 22.5-kilometer reach of the Green River at Gray Canyon near Green River, Utah. Imagery was downloaded in .TIF format and Structure-from-Motion (SfM) photogrammetry techniques were applied (Over et al. 2021) using Agisoft Metashape...

This data release is comprised of two datasets; 1) a .tif file containing species distribution model (SDM) outputs for three invasive tegu species (Salvator merianae, S. rufescens, Tupinambis teguixin) across the contiguous United States (CONUS) for three climate scenarios (current, +2 degree C warming and +4 degree C warming). We are providing a stacked raster (9 layers total), with a...
