Hormone levels and morphometric data of male Burmese pythons (Python bivittatus) in South Florida Hormone levels and morphometric data of male Burmese pythons (Python bivittatus) in South Florida
Hormone levels (corticosterone, testosterone) and associated sampling information (date, year, month, reproductive season, sampling location, time to bleed) from free-ranging male invasive Burmese pythons (Python bivittatus) in South Florida. Dataset also includes morphometric data (mass, length, circumference, age) of each individual male sampled during the years of 2018 to 2024.
Data on bat skin microbiome from bats in the southwestern United States, 2013-2016, including bacteria isolates, Pseudogymnoascus destructans (Pd) inhibition characters, media used, and associated GenBank accession numbers Data on bat skin microbiome from bats in the southwestern United States, 2013-2016, including bacteria isolates, Pseudogymnoascus destructans (Pd) inhibition characters, media used, and associated GenBank accession numbers
This dataset includes information on the external microbiome of various bat species in the southwestern United States. We describe the level of Pseudogymnoascus destructans (Pd) inhibition characters of the bacteria and the associated GenBank accession numbers are provided. The dataset appears as supplemental tables 1-4 in the associated manuscript. Supplemental Table 1 provides a...
Brown treesnake 2009 supplemental feeding data and 2008-2012 capture mark recapture data from a closed population on Guam Brown treesnake 2009 supplemental feeding data and 2008-2012 capture mark recapture data from a closed population on Guam
The two datasets consist of capture-mark-recapture (cmr) data for brown treesnakes (Bioga irregularis), and a database containing information about supplemental food added to the population in 2009. The cmr data were collected in the closed population (CP) on Andersen Air Force Base in Guam. These data were used to assess how the population growth rate was affected by two perturbations...
Assessing all known mining activity and landscape changes within the Appalachian region of the Eastern United States (active, inactive, abandoned, and legacy surface mines) Assessing all known mining activity and landscape changes within the Appalachian region of the Eastern United States (active, inactive, abandoned, and legacy surface mines)
We developed numerous datasets describing mining activity and landscape conditions for all known active, inactive, abandoned, and legacy surface mines in the Eastern United States Appalachian region to support monitoring and regulatory needs. These data include 1) a study area boundary, 2) a compiled set of spatial footprints for known mines from federal, state, academic research, and...
Effects of fire and post-fire management on soil condition and stability in North America: An annotated bibliography produced through a structured literature search and semi-automated content analysis Effects of fire and post-fire management on soil condition and stability in North America: An annotated bibliography produced through a structured literature search and semi-automated content analysis
This data release includes citation details, abstracts, and results of a semi-automated content analysis for 322 publications we identified on the topic of the potential effects of fire and post-fire management on soil condition and stability in North America. We first conducted a structured literature search to identify potentially relevant publications. We compiled a benchmark set of...
Reproduction and locations of oaks in Yolo County, California, USA from 2013-2023 Reproduction and locations of oaks in Yolo County, California, USA from 2013-2023
Oaks were mapped in a portion of Yolo County, California, USA. For 26 focal trees, acorn counts were conducted from 2013-2023. Trees were located in rural and urban areas. Rural trees were located visually and location was recorded. Urban tree locations were drawn from randomly distributed point locations at 1.2 valley oaks per hectare. The data also include distance between oak trees to...
Gastrointestinal seeds collected from invasive Burmese pythons (2014-2021) and Black and White Tegu lizards (2016-2022) in South Florida Gastrointestinal seeds collected from invasive Burmese pythons (2014-2021) and Black and White Tegu lizards (2016-2022) in South Florida
Seeds extracted from the gastrointestinal contents of Burmese pythons (Python bivittatus) and Black and White Tegu (Salvator merianae) lizards in South Florida were sorted and identified to genus or species. Seeds were then categorized as invasive (category I: history of negative impacts or category II: potential for negative impacts), native, non-native, threatened, endangered, and...
Effects of vegetation and soils surface disturbance and reclamation on invasive annual grasses: an annotated bibliography to inform environmental effects analyses related to oil and gas development Effects of vegetation and soils surface disturbance and reclamation on invasive annual grasses: an annotated bibliography to inform environmental effects analyses related to oil and gas development
This data release includes citation details, abstracts, and results of a semi-automated content analysis for 171 publications we identified on the topic of the potential effects of vegetation and soils surface disturbance and reclamation associated with oil and gas development on invasive annual grass establishment and spread. Our goal was to develop a structured literature search and...
Donkey location data and disease exposure data in southern California between 2020 and 2022 Donkey location data and disease exposure data in southern California between 2020 and 2022
This dataset includes GPS locations of free-roaming donkeys (Equus asinus; also called burros) in southern California, USA, within Fort Irwin National Training Center and Death Valley National Park between 2020 and 2022, as well as data on the disease status of donkeys in these same areas. Data were collected by placing GPS collars on donkeys and tracking their movements. Collars...

This dataset includes population sizes of free-roaming horses (Equus caballus) in Nevada, USA, within specific Herd Areas (HAs), which are Bureau of Land Management (BLM) management units. The management units in this dataset include the following HAs: Applewhite, Delamar Mountains, Meadow Valley Mountains, Clover Mountains and Clover Creek. Data were collected via aerial helicopter...
Integrating updated INHABIT V4, AquaINHABIT V1, and INHABIT Global V1 management summaries Integrating updated INHABIT V4, AquaINHABIT V1, and INHABIT Global V1 management summaries
This dataset contains the potential distribution of 344 invasive plant species across terrestrial and aquatic habitats summarized by management areas of interest. Habitat suitability models were developed for invasive plants species, selected by the Department of Interior, the USDA Forest Service land management agencies and other managers. Models were developed based on the modeling...
Experimental manipulation of bait types to assess trapping efficacy of invasive black and white tegu lizards (Salvator merianae) in South Florida Experimental manipulation of bait types to assess trapping efficacy of invasive black and white tegu lizards (Salvator merianae) in South Florida
These data represent two years of trapping effort for invasive black and white tegu lizards (Salvator merianae) in South Florida.
