We measured nesting rates and nesting success for a community of cavity-nesting bees across gradients of floral abundance, floral richness, and land-cover in the Prairie Pothole Region. Variables in this dataset include a unique transect identifier, a count of the occupied nests per transect, total floral species richness per transect, total floral stem abundance per transect, bee...

This data release provides county-level predictions of grassland bird nesting phenology across the midcontinent of North America as a GIS shapefile. Predictions are derived from species-specific models relating nest initiation timing to geographic location, vegetation phenology, and interannual weather variability, and include estimated nesting dates for multiple percentiles of the...

This data release provides data from an in situ study designed to assess microbial soil organic carbon decomposition and methane production using multi-omics techniques in prairie pothole wetlands. Fluxes of carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide were estimated using static chambers combined with a portable Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) gas analyzer. Water-quality parameters were...

These data were collected to estimate occupancy of Bombus affinis at two spatial scales: 10x10km grid cells and 3.14 hectare sampling units with unknown occupancy in Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Illinois 2022-2024. Data were also used to determine relationships between the area of developed land and Bombus affinis occupancy at both spatial scales and to determine factors affecting Bombus...

The Aransas-Wood Buffalo population of whooping cranes migrates through the U.S. Great Plains twice annually, moving between wintering areas along coastal Texas and summering areas in and around Wood Buffalo National Park, Canada. These data support development of resource utilization functions that were used to predict wintering use of whooping cranes outside of their historic coastal...

We present a tabular data set representing values used to evaluate intrinsic factors of breeding dispersal and annual survival for northern Great Plains piping plovers (Charadrius melodus) from 2014 – 2019. Data was collected on wetlands and on the Missouri River in North Dakota, South Dakota, and Montana. Data includes breeding state specific observations of adults. The associated...

This GIS shapefile, "density_contours," describes 1) a bison study area at Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve, Kansas, and 2) 25%, 50%, 75%, and 99% kernel density contours for locations of bison marked with GPS collars during 2021-2023. Percentages associated with contours describe nominal coverage, i.e., proportions of observations they are expected to encompass, and approximate the

This GIS shapefile, "density_contours," describes 1) a bison study area at Wind Cave National Park, South Dakota, and 2) 25%, 50%, 75%, and 99% kernel density contours for locations of bison marked with GPS collars during 2019-2024. Percentages associated with contours describe nominal coverage, i.e., proportions of observations they are expected to encompass, and approximate the...

This GIS shapefile, "density_contours," describes 1) a bison study area in the North Unit of Theodore Roosevelt National Park, North Dakota and 2) 25%, 50%, 75%, and 99% kernel density contours for locations of bison marked with GPS collars during 2017-2020. Percentages associated with contours describe nominal coverage, i.e., proportions of observations they are expected to encompass...

The GIS shapefile "bison_locations" provides 132996 locations of 5 adult female bison marked with global positioning system (GPS) collars at Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve during February 2021 to November 2023. We provide locations computed at 15-min and 1-h intervals for individual bison and the date and time of acquisition for each location. Users are advised that ground...

This GIS shapefile, "density_contours," describes 1) a bison study area at Badlands National Park, South Dakota, and 2) 25%, 50%, 75%, and 99% kernel density contours for locations of bison marked with GPS collars during 2015-2024. Percentages associated with contours describe nominal coverage, i.e., proportions of observations they are expected to encompass, and approximate the...

This data release describes data that were contributed to the Global Lakes Ecosystem Observation Network (GLEON) FunAqua project, a global data compilation effort. Goals of the FunAqua project are to document the drivers of global aquatic fungal diversity and determine the breadth of the niche of aquatic fungi locally, globally, and in relation to soil and leaves. Data contributed by the...
