Assessing adaptive management to reduce ungulate aggregations: A case study involving the supplemental feeding of elk. Assessing adaptive management to reduce ungulate aggregations: A case study involving the supplemental feeding of elk.
This data release contains summarized elk aggregation metrics generated from Global Positioning System (GPS) collar locations of elk on the National Elk Refuge in Jackson, Wyoming. Aggregation metrics include annual kernel density estimates of the area used by elk on the National Elk Refuge, daily measures of inter-elk distances, daily pairwise proximity, and daily mean proximity and...
Tree ring dataset for a regional avalanche chronology in Colorado 1319-2022 Tree ring dataset for a regional avalanche chronology in Colorado 1319-2022
This dataset includes processed tree ring data from avalanche paths throughout Colorado, USA. The data were processed in three distinct phases that resulted in this dataset: collection, processing, and avalanche signal analysis. This dataset consists of samples from 1188 cross-sections and increment cores from 1023 individual trees within 24 avalanche paths across the region. From these...
Working Dog Tick Transect results and cost comparisons in Jackson Hole, WY from Oct - Nov 2021 Working Dog Tick Transect results and cost comparisons in Jackson Hole, WY from Oct - Nov 2021
A tabular dataset providing tick survey results around the Jackson Wyoming area between the dates of Oct 25, 2021, and Nov 6, 2021. The data compares a dog surveyor to a human surveyor in both transect and survey plots, recording detection events, total number of tick larvae found, and how long the survey took, and the cost of the survey. A second tabular dataset outlining the associated...
Metabarcoding of environmental DNA samples collected below Jackson Lake Dam (Wyoming) and Palisades Reservoir (Idaho) in 2021-2022 (ver. 2.0, November 2024) Metabarcoding of environmental DNA samples collected below Jackson Lake Dam (Wyoming) and Palisades Reservoir (Idaho) in 2021-2022 (ver. 2.0, November 2024)
These metadata contain links to the original sequences on GenBank. These data show the final OTU and metadata tables for each environmental sample collected. Additionally, we included OTU tables resulting from bioinformatic decontamination steps (using microDecon) in R.
Desert bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis nelsoni) datasets from Grand Canyon National Park, 2010-2016 Desert bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis nelsoni) datasets from Grand Canyon National Park, 2010-2016
Tabular and raster data containing spatial capture recapture records for male and female bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis nelsoni) in Grand Canyon National Park and surrounding landscape collected from 2010 to 2018 and associated tabular data files required for analysis of data with spatial capture connectivity models and raster data describing the ouput from SCR models. Associated tables...
Bumble bees and flowering plants in Glacier National Park 2023 Bumble bees and flowering plants in Glacier National Park 2023
USGS personnel surveyed bumble bees and flowering plants in and around Glacier National Park during the summer of 2023. These data include 1) a .csv file of all bumble bee - plant interactions observed across surveys and 2) all flowering plants observed in bloom across all surveys.
qPCR detection and quantitative results for Northern Pike (Esox lucius) from environmental (e)DNA samples collected along Miller Creek, Kenai Peninsula, Alaska in February and March of 2024 qPCR detection and quantitative results for Northern Pike (Esox lucius) from environmental (e)DNA samples collected along Miller Creek, Kenai Peninsula, Alaska in February and March of 2024
The dataset contains qualitative detection and quantitative results of Esox Lucius DNA in environmental (e)DNA water samples collected from Miller Creek, Alaska and analyzed with quantitative PCR.
Individual specific hybridization data from the upper Snake River, Wyoming from 2014 Individual specific hybridization data from the upper Snake River, Wyoming from 2014
Dataset includes individual-specific genetic data describing the extent of hybridization between Yellowstone cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarkii bouvieri) and rainbow trout (O. mykiss) in Wyoming.
Predicted consequences of detecting Najas minor environmental DNA in Sebago Lake Maine, 2022 Predicted consequences of detecting Najas minor environmental DNA in Sebago Lake Maine, 2022
U.S. Geological Survey decision analysts and technical experts worked with managers and stakeholders to predict the consequences of alternative actions following environmental DNA detections of invasive Najas minor eDNA in Sebago Lake, Maine, USA. This dataset provides the consequence and model inputs for each of the alternative actions under different levels of uncertainty.
