Data

This dataset includes 2055 digital images of tree ring samples from avalanche paths in southeast Alaska, northwest Montana and western Colorado, USA. There is also a .csv file with metadata for each scan located at the bottom of the zipped folder list in the attached file section.

We used visual encounter surveys (VES) and environmental DNA (eDNA) surveys for amphibians in the western united states. Data are results of both VES and eDNA surveys for all amphibian species that occur in the locations surveyed.

This data release contains the observed reproductive status and estimated den entrance and emergence data for 114 radio-marked female grizzly bears and the estimated birth dates of offspring for four populations in North America collected from 2011-2021. The studied populations inhabited the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, Northern Continental Divide Ecosystem, Selkirk and Cabinet-Yaak...

Quantitative PCR results for surveillance of New Zealand mudsnail environmental DNA at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Alchesay National Fish Hatchery.

Population level summary data on survival, reproduction, and population size used to estimate demographic rates and population size for two peregrine falcon management populations in North America using integrated population models. The data are provided in a CSV file and in management population (northern and southern) and model scenario (original, extrapolated, updated) specific R...

Data containing field observations of potential Jemez Mountains salamander (JMS; Plethodon neomexicanus) cover objects and characteristics of underlying soils, concurrent with arthropod data collected from pitfall traps beneath selected cover objects in salamander historic habitat located in the Jemez Mountains, New Mexico from 2023-2024. We sampled potential salamander prey items...

It is common practice for waste byproducts generated from the treatment of municipal waste (biosolids), livestock production (manure), and oil and gas drilling operations (spent drill fluids and cuttings) to be applied to farmland as a cost-effective means of disposal. From June 2021 to January 2022, 34 samples of land-applied waste materials were collected in 14 U.S. states. Samples...

Quantitative PCR results for samples collected from the Hudson River near Troy, New York by autonomous and manual (backpack) samplers

We used an environmental DNA (eDNA) autosampler and a backpack manual sampler to collect eDNA samples at Naval Base Ventura County's Point Mugu Sea Range in May and June 2025. Samples were sent to Wilderlab for metabarcoding analysis using their basic panel of five primers to amplify DNA from a variety of taxa, including vertebrates (fish, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and birds)...

This dataset contains quantitative results of environmental DNA water samples from a diverse set of aquatic habitats, including small creeks in Idaho and Montana, a large river in Wisconsin, and an experimental pond in Florida. The frequency of daily sampling was randomly assigned, without duplication, each week to one of four levels: one survey event per day, two survey events per day...

Dataset includes a) counts of mountain goats for multiple surveys across 37 sites inside Glacier National Park 2008-2019, along with biotic and abiotic conditions used in analysis of trend including snow, precipitation, temperature, landcover and habituation; b) predicted numbers of goats using each survey area; and c) microsatellite genotypes for goat pellet samples collected 2019-2023...

We used Wilderlab eDNA kits to collect eDNA samples in a creek colloquially known as Cañada del Puerto Creek (Hydrologic Unit Code 12 number 180600140201) on Santa Cruz Island, California, in May 2025. Samples were sent to Wilderlab for metabarcoding analysis using their comprehensive panel of assays to amplify DNA from a variety of taxa, including vertebrates (fish, mammals, reptiles...
