Habitat suitability and environmental covariates for the New Mexico ridge-nosed rattlesnake (Crotalus willardi obscurus) Habitat suitability and environmental covariates for the New Mexico ridge-nosed rattlesnake (Crotalus willardi obscurus)
This data release contains the spatial raster outputs from analyses of habitat suitability of the New Mexico ridge-nosed rattlesnake (NMRR), Crotalus willardi obscurus. This species is one of five recognized of the ridge-nosed rattlesnakes and was federally listed as threatened in 1978 due primarily to perceived threats of over collection and a very narrowly restricted range. This range...
Fine-scale Habitat Environmental Predictor Layers for rare Cacti and Herbaceous Plants in the Arid Southwest Fine-scale Habitat Environmental Predictor Layers for rare Cacti and Herbaceous Plants in the Arid Southwest
This dataset contains raster layers of environmental characteristics used to predict habitat suitability for multiple species of perennial cactus and herbs in the arid southwest. These data were developed from Sentinel-2 imagery, a digital elevation model, and one obtained from the Google Earth Engine data catalog. These datasets can be used to model habitat suitability of species with
Expert Identified Interventions to Support Chronic Wasting Disease Management in 2022 Expert Identified Interventions to Support Chronic Wasting Disease Management in 2022
Experts from disciplines relevant to chronic wasting disease (CWD) management participated in a facilitated elicitation workshop sessions from 02/23/2022 to 03/16/2022 that identified potential management interventions. These interventions were organized into thematic categories, and each theme was prioritized through a structured voting process in which participants could select up to...
High resolution natural color imagery collected by uncrewed aircraft system (UAS) for mapping channel and vegetation change along a 7-mile reach of the Middle Green River at Horseshoe Bend near Jensen, Utah from 2024-2025 High resolution natural color imagery collected by uncrewed aircraft system (UAS) for mapping channel and vegetation change along a 7-mile reach of the Middle Green River at Horseshoe Bend near Jensen, Utah from 2024-2025
The U.S. Geological Survey collected low-altitude airborne natural color imagery via a fixed-wing uncrewed aircraft system (UAS) for mapping channel and vegetation change along a 7-mile reach of the Middle Green River at Horseshoe Bend near Jensen, Utah. Visual imagery was collected in jpg format and Structure-from-Motion (SfM) photogrammetry techniques were applied (Over et al., 2021)...
High resolution natural color imagery collected by uncrewed aircraft system (UAS) for mapping channel and vegetation change along a 6-mile reach of the Middle Green River at Ouray National Wildlife Refuge near Ouray, Utah from 2024-2025 High resolution natural color imagery collected by uncrewed aircraft system (UAS) for mapping channel and vegetation change along a 6-mile reach of the Middle Green River at Ouray National Wildlife Refuge near Ouray, Utah from 2024-2025

Cost-effectiveness of sagebrush restoration across the sagebrush biome, 30 years after two seeding treatment applications, and associated model data Cost-effectiveness of sagebrush restoration across the sagebrush biome, 30 years after two seeding treatment applications, and associated model data
This data release contains a formatted dataset with mean and standard deviation of effectiveness-cost ratios for aerial or drill seeding sagebrush (Artemisia spp.), at the cost estimate of 100, 1,000, and 5,000 acre treatments, and associated environmental conditions from across the sagebrush biome. With these data, we modeled the influence of environmental conditions on cost...

These data represent morphometric and radiotracking data of invasive Burmese pythons (Python bivittatus) in Big Cypress National Preserve in southern Florida. This data release includes two csv spreadsheets, one folder with photos, and one folder with videos that are all from 01 November 2017 to 31 December 2024. One csv spreadsheet contains morphometric data of 356 radiotracked juvenile...
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...
