Data

The data set consists of three files pertaining to invasive Brown Treesnakes (Boiga irregularis) and temporally-associated weather covariates on Guam: 1) snout-vent length (SVL) and sex of brown treesnakes (bts_growth.csv), 2) precipitation (bts_rain.csv), and 3) seasonality (bts_season.csv). Snout-vent lengths in millimeters (mm) and sex of 270 individually marked and recaptured brown...

Morphometric data (mass, length, circumference, age) collected during an observation of a radio-telemetered female Burmese python (Python bivitattus) that ingested an adult female white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), retained the deer within the digestive tract for 10 days, and then vomited the deer coinciding with a drop in air temperature.

This dataset includes three datasets collected in 2021 and 2022 to assess the potential effects of bison (Bison bison) herbivory and climate on grassland functional properties throughout semi-arid meadows in Grand Canyon National Park and Kaibab National Forest of northern Arizona. Bison herbivory offtake (utilization) and aboveground herbaceous production are demonstrated in the...

This dataset includes locations of burros between 2016 and 2020 from two study areas where burros were located every 2 hours continuously using GPS telemetry collars for Lotek collars, and every 13 hours continuously for Vectronic Aerospace collars. Location data are from adult female burros, not males. Study areas are the Lake Pleasant Herd Management Area in Arizona, USA and the Sinbad...

This dataset consists of 1,353 ground observer investigations of mountain lion predation events ("kills") in eastern Nevada, USA, from 2018 to 2022. Over the period of the data collection, we had 29 mountain lions equipped with telemetry collars and we investigated clusters of locations when GPS collar locations were in the same area for three nights -- we used this criteria to identify...

This dataset includes a number of datasets collected to assess the potential effects of GPS telemetry collars on free-roaming feral equid species in North America: horses and burros. The behavior dataset (Behavioral_data_collared_uncollared.csv) includes frequency of maintenance behaviors of collared and un-collared horses at Conger Herd Management Area (HMA), and burros at Lake Pleasant...

We investigated the behavior of feral horses (Equus caballus) at Conger Herd Management Area (HMA), UT, and of burros (Equus asinus) at Lake Pleasant HMA, AZ, and Sinbad HMA, UT between 2016 and 2020 (Sinbad HMA 2016 to 2019; Conger and Lake Pleasant HMAs 2017 to 2020). We collected data on the time budget and social behavior of adults (2 years old and older) between April and September...

This study generated genetic 'metabarcode' data using high-throughput sequencing to characterize pollen foraging behavior of pollinating bee species on managed field habitat within units of the National Park Service. Specimens were collected within parks of the National Capital Region from 2021-2023 and subsequently identified to species or genus. DNA was then extracted from specimens...

This study generated genetic 'metabarcode' data using high-throughput sequencing to characterize pollen foraging behavior of the endangered rusty-patched bumblebee, Bombus affinis. Pollen samples were collected primarily from forest meadow habitats in the Appalachian piedmont of the eastern United States, specifically within the states of Virginia and West Virginia. Three additional...

These spatial layers were created to provide estimates of non-native species invasion risk across the contiguous United States based on proximity to human population centers and transportation corridors, and proximity to known locations of non-native species. To calculate the human transport risk layer we estimated the proximity to human population centers, transportation corridors, and...

The authors and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) have expanded the greater sage-grouse (GRSG [also referenced as sage-grouse]; Centrocercus urophasianus) hierarchical population units/clusters to ensure inclusion of the proposed revisions (2025) of the BLM habitat management areas (HMAs) in future management implementation decisions. The authors used a consolidated dataset of all GRSG...

This data release presents observations of vegetation and ground cover within Capulin and Frijoles canyon bottoms in the Jemez Mountains, including Bandelier National Monument, New Mexico. Methods...
