Data

USGS researchers surveyed talus patches across the western USA, in conjunction with numerous partners during 2014-2023, inclusive. Data are locations at which wildlife species of statutory interest to state and federal partners were detected, as well as covariate data associated with each location.

The land application of drill fluids is governed by rules established in the Oklahoma Administrative Rules (165:10-7) and permitted by the Oklahoma Corporation Commission (OCC). While data on the volume and location of land application is publicly accessible through the OCC's website, much of the information is in scanned form documents which limits the operability of these data. This...

The data release includes a fish sampling dataset and a dataset of estimates of stream temperature and discharge. These datasets were created to assess how Yellowstone cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus virginalis bouvieri; formally Oncorhynchus clarkii bouvieri) responded to interannual changes in stream temperature and discharge and the occurrence of non-native brown trout (Salmo trutta)...

Stream temperature data and streamflow data from headwater streams in the upper Snake River basin, Wyoming and upper Yellowstone River basin and Flathead River basin in Montana. These datasets were assembled to assess how stream temperature and streamflow in headwater streams deviates from downstream gages in order to better understand tools to estimate streamflow at a variety of...

These metadata contain links to the original sequences (.fastq files) on GenBank. These data files contain the sample metadata, exact sequence variant (ESV) reads, and taxonomic identifications for the ESVs in each sample.

USGS researchers and technicians comprehensively surveyed each of 150 talus patches for evidence of American pika (Ochotona princeps) occurrence. Occurrence status at each patch was classified as either no pika evidence whatsoever, former pika occurrence, or current pika occurrence. Dataset also includes latitude and longitude, as well as mean elevation of the patch and the surveyor...

We tested 28 fin clips for DNA of Goldfish (Carassius auratus) and Prussian Carp (Carassius gibelio) following published assay methods. Results are reported as cycle threshold (Cq) values generated using real-time PCR.

High resolution fractional tree cover and change over time for Olympic, Mount Rainier, and Glacier National Parks from the mid-1980s to the mid-2020s. Date of annual snapshots of tree cover and the temporal range of change over time in tree cover vary by location. See metadata files associated with individual parks for specific details.

USGS personnel surveyed bumble bees and flowering plants on private and public lands in Central Montana during the spring and summer of 2023 and 2024. These data provide a summary of what was found, including the number of bumble bees caught during standardized netting surveys and a comprehensive list of all plants in flower within survey plots during each site visit. First release: 2023...

A pair of modified marine radars were deployed at two locations, the Clark's Fork Fish Hatchery (near Powell, Wyoming) and the Timber Creek Ranger Station (near Meeteetse, Wyoming), during the summer of 2023 and 2024. The radars collected data on flying animals with a focus on army cutworm (Euxoa auxiliaris) moths within a couple kilometers of the radars during most of the army cutworm...

This is the data archive for the publication Ungulate Migrations of the Western United States, Volume 5 and includes the collection of GIS map files that are mapped and described in the report. These map files are meant to provide a common spatial representation of the mapped migrations and seasonal ranges. This data release provides the means for ungulate migrations to be mapped and...

A modified marine radar was deployed on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration research vessel, Gordon Gunter, during the fall of 2023 and 2024 as it transected the Gulf of America conducting benthic surveys. The radar collected data on avifauna (and flying animals generally) within a couple kilometers of the vessel during a portion of the fall migration. Data collected can...
