Comparing maximum likelihood and Bayesian methods for fitting Hidden Markov Models to multi-state capture recapture data of invasive Silver Carp in the Illinois River Comparing maximum likelihood and Bayesian methods for fitting Hidden Markov Models to multi-state capture recapture data of invasive Silver Carp in the Illinois River
This repository contains the data, code for modeling and analysis, and publication markdown documents for a comparison of various methods for fitting multi-state models, including maximum likelihood and Bayesian approaches via R.
Eastern migratory monarch butterfly population estimates and associated early warning signals (2006-2022) Eastern migratory monarch butterfly population estimates and associated early warning signals (2006-2022)
The long decline of the eastern migratory population of monarch butterflies (Danaus plexippus) appears to have abated in recent years and the population now persists at a much-reduced abundance. Stochastic variation in abundance typical of monarch butterflies, and other insects, places this population at heightened risk of quasi-extinction, a level of abundance below which recovery of...
Pesticides in tree swallows from the Milwaukee Estuary, WI Pesticides in tree swallows from the Milwaukee Estuary, WI
Legacy contaminants and contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) were assessed in tree swallow (Tachycineta bicolor) tissue and diet samples from three drainages in the Milwaukee Estuary, Wisconsin to understand exposures and possible effects.
Summary of Detection Data for Breeding Common Loons in North-central Minnesota (2023) Summary of Detection Data for Breeding Common Loons in North-central Minnesota (2023)
The Deepwater Horizon oil spill caused extensive injury to natural resources in the Gulf of Mexico, and Gavia immer (common loon) were negatively affected from the spill. The Open Ocean Trustee Implementation Group funded the project Restoration of Common Loons in Minnesota to restore common loons lost to the spill. In 2020–21, study lakes in an eight-county region in north-central...
MODFLOW 6 models for simulating groundwater flow and a proposed remediation system in the sole-source aquifer system in southeastern Nassau County, New York MODFLOW 6 models for simulating groundwater flow and a proposed remediation system in the sole-source aquifer system in southeastern Nassau County, New York
This model archive contains files for a set of groundwater flow, particle tracking, and management optimization models that simulate the area around the Navy-Northrop-Grumman contamination plume on Long Island, New York. These models were developed as in insets from the Long Island Regional “parent” Model, from which perimeter boundary conditions were inherited. In addition to input and...
Code and data for 'Confirmation of a decline in the summer population of the monarch butterfly due to habitat loss' Code and data for 'Confirmation of a decline in the summer population of the monarch butterfly due to habitat loss'
This code describes graphical and analytical comparisons between monarch butterfly survey data collected during summer breeding, fall migration, and winter.
Forest canopy gap dynamics: quantifying forest gaps and understanding gap – level forest regeneration in Upper Mississippi River floodplain forests Forest canopy gap dynamics: quantifying forest gaps and understanding gap – level forest regeneration in Upper Mississippi River floodplain forests
Forest canopy gap metrics for select floodplain forest canopy gaps in the Upper Mississippi River System (UMRS).
Locations of Change in Aquatic Vegetation Cover along the Illinois Waterway from 2019 - 2021 Locations of Change in Aquatic Vegetation Cover along the Illinois Waterway from 2019 - 2021
Over the summer of 2020, the Illinois Waterway (IWW) was closed to complete maintenance on lock chambers along the Illinois River. This closure restricted vessel traffic along the river and potentially changed habitat characteristics for aquatic vegetation establishment and growth. To assess if patterns of vegetation establishment and growth changed during the closure, peak biomass...
2020 Aquatic Areas - Upper Mississippi River System (ver. 2.0, July 2025) 2020 Aquatic Areas - Upper Mississippi River System (ver. 2.0, July 2025)
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Upper Mississippi River Restoration (UMRR) program, through its Long Term Resource Monitoring (LTRM) element, collected aerial imagery of the systemic Upper Mississippi River System (UMRS) during the summer of 2020. A Land Cover/Land Use (LCU) spatial database was developed based on the 2020 aerial imagery, which adds a fourth systemic-wide database to...
Isle Royale National Park Vegetation Change Analysis 1996 to 2017 Isle Royale National Park Vegetation Change Analysis 1996 to 2017
Vegetation change is an important issue facing managers at Isle Royale National Park (ISRO). These data were created using high-resolution imagery collected in the winter of 2017 which was compared to the vegetation map of the National Park published in 2000 (project imagery collected in 1994 and 1996). These data review where vegetation cover type, density, and pattern have changed...
Identifying conditions where reed canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea) functions as a driver of forest loss in the Upper Mississippi River floodplain under different hydrological scenarios Identifying conditions where reed canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea) functions as a driver of forest loss in the Upper Mississippi River floodplain under different hydrological scenarios
Most of the world’s river-floodplain ecosystems are simultaneously undergoing modifications to their hydrological regimes and experiencing species invasions, making it unclear whether invasive species are the main drivers of ecosystem change or simply responding to changes in the hydrological regime. We simulated patterns of forest recruitment and succession in a 2200 ha portion of the...
Predictions for the presence of submersed aquatic vegetation in the upper Mississippi River, USA, from years 2010-2019 Predictions for the presence of submersed aquatic vegetation in the upper Mississippi River, USA, from years 2010-2019
The datasets are to accompany a manuscript describing the prediction of submersed aquatic vegetation presence and its potential vulnerability and recovery potential. The data and accompanying analysis scripts allow users to run the final random forests predictive model and reproduce the figures reported in the manuscript. Files from several data sources (aqa_2010_lvl3_pct_oute_joined_VEG...
