A snapshot of stakeholder science needs related to drought in the Colorado River Basin A snapshot of stakeholder science needs related to drought in the Colorado River Basin
Stakeholder science needs were determined by reviewing more than 200 recently published literature items and web pages from Colorado River Basin (CRB) stakeholders. These stakeholder communications were used to characterize over 400 stakeholder science needs by reviewing their priorities, strategies, issues, missions, and concerns related to drought in the CRB. Members of the CRB...

Spatial layers generated by the Prioritizing Restoration of Sagebrush Ecosystems Tool (PReSET) applied in Southern Wyoming Spatial layers generated by the Prioritizing Restoration of Sagebrush Ecosystems Tool (PReSET) applied in Southern Wyoming
All data layers included in this data release were created using the Prioritizing Restoration of Sagebrush Ecosystems Tool (PReSET) tool, which relies on spatial inputs on species distributions and likelihood of restoration success to select parcels for sagebrush restoration. The PReSET is a workflow that relies on the prioritizr package in program R to identify parcels for effective and
Data on prairie dog densities, flea abundance, and plague epizootics in Montana and Utah, USA Data on prairie dog densities, flea abundance, and plague epizootics in Montana and Utah, USA
Data on prairie dog densities, flea abundance on prairie dogs, and plague epizootics in Montana and Utah, USA, 2003-2005. Prairie dog species (PDspecies in the data file) included black-tailed prairie dogs (PDs) (BTPD, Cynomys ludovicianus) in north-central Montana, white-tailed PDs (WTPD, Cynomys leucurus) in eastern Utah, and Utah PDs (UPD, Cynomys parvidens) in southwestern Utah...
Detections of bison from helicopter and aerial thermal infrared imagery in Grand Canyon National Park, 2019-2021 Detections of bison from helicopter and aerial thermal infrared imagery in Grand Canyon National Park, 2019-2021
These data are detections of bison in Grand Canyon National Park made during helicopter surveys between 2019 and 2021, and an aerial infrared imagery survey done in February 2020.
Feral horse tail tag deployment and retention data at Conger and Frisco Herd Management Areas, Utah, 2016-2020 Feral horse tail tag deployment and retention data at Conger and Frisco Herd Management Areas, Utah, 2016-2020
These data show details of time taken to fit tail tags on horses at Herd Management Areas in Utah and Nevada. We provide the time of day that individuals entered and exited a squeeze chute and the resulting duration of time they were in the squeeze to have the tag affixed (among other things) at BLM facilities, as well as the sex and age of the individual, and dates that tail tags were...

Through the North American Bat Monitoring Program, Bat Conservation International and U.S Geological Survey (USGS) provided technical and science support to assistance in U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Species Status Assessment ("SSA") for the northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis), little brown bat (Myotis lucifugus), and tri-colored bat (Perimyotis subflavus). USGS...
grsg_lekdb: Compiling and standardizing greater sage-grouse lek databases grsg_lekdb: Compiling and standardizing greater sage-grouse lek databases
Greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) are landscape-scale sagebrush obligate species and an important gamebird and iconic species of the western United States. They occupy the sagebrush biome in western North America, extending east of the Sierra Nevada/Cascade Mountain ranges to the western regions of the Great Plains of the United States. Sage-grouse are one of the most...

Brown Treesnake mating and reproductive success on Guam, 2004-2018 Brown Treesnake mating and reproductive success on Guam, 2004-2018
The mating and reproductive ecology of the invasive Brown Treesnake (Boiga irregularis) were generated by reconstructing a multigenerational genomic pedigree based on 654 single nucleotide polymorphisms for a geographically-closed population established in 2004 on Guam (N=426). The pedigree allowed annual estimates of individual mating and reproductive success to be inferred for snakes...
