Climate Distance Mapper
Climate Distance Mapper
Climate Distance Mapper is a spatial decision-support tool designed to help land managers match seed sources with restoration sites. Plant populations are commonly adapted to local climate gradients and frequently exhibit a home-site advantage.

Occurrence Data for the Western Spadefoot (Spea hammondii) in Southern California From 1995 to 2020 and Projected Species Distribution Model Occurrence Data for the Western Spadefoot (Spea hammondii) in Southern California From 1995 to 2020 and Projected Species Distribution Model
These data represent the results of surveys for western spadefoots in southern California, including both presence and non-detection data. In addition, data include environmental covariates that were hypothesized to influence the occurrence of western spadefoots, such as land cover and distance to aquatic features. These data support the following publication: Rose, J.P., Halstead, B.J
Survival of Greater Sage-Grouse Nests and Broods Following Translocation in California, Wyoming, and North Dakota, 2002 - 2019 Survival of Greater Sage-Grouse Nests and Broods Following Translocation in California, Wyoming, and North Dakota, 2002 - 2019
These tables provide observations of sage-grouse, both translocated and not, during the nesting and brooding phases. With respect to nests we include observations of clutch size, egg hatchability, and adult survival during this period. For the brooding period we include both adult and chick survival as well as initial and final brood size. Lastly, we include peak male counts at leks for...

This dataset contains 253 samples from 11 occurrences of Chloropyron molle subsp. molle, and 3 occurrences of Chloropyron molle hispidum. Genomic markers were generated from ddRAD loci and analyzed using the Stacks v2.60 pipeline. The genotypes for all samples are provided in a VCF file with 40,707 independent loci . A companion sample data file is provided with sample names, and...
Rare Plant Occurrences Geodatabase for the Northern Channel Islands (ver. 2.0, June 2025) Rare Plant Occurrences Geodatabase for the Northern Channel Islands (ver. 2.0, June 2025)
The Rare Plant Occurrences geodatabase is an element occurrence data system with about 10,000 records of rare plant observations on the 6 northernmost California Channel Islands. It is a live database created with the purpose of bringing together in one space all discoverable historic and current information on the localities of about 180 rare and sensitive plants of the northern Channel...
Growth and Capture Mark Recapture Data from Giant Gartersnakes (Thamnophis gigas) in Rice Irrigation Canals 2018 to 2023 (ver. 2.0, July 2025) Growth and Capture Mark Recapture Data from Giant Gartersnakes (Thamnophis gigas) in Rice Irrigation Canals 2018 to 2023 (ver. 2.0, July 2025)
These data support a study modeling the growth, capture, and survival of giant gartersnakes (Thamnophis gigas). We captured giant gartersnakes inhabiting rice irrigation canals in the Sacramento Valley, California, USA from 2018 to 2023. We analyzed capture-mark-recapture data from 19 populations of giant gartersnakes sampled with an integrated growth-survival model. We tested how growth...

The dataset includes the coordinates, collection year, age, band number, studbook number, and 54 microsatellite genetic markers for 186 individual light-footed Ridgway's rails, Rallus obsoletus levipes.
Percent Shrub Cover for the Desatoya Mountains, Nevada, Derived from Worldview-2 and UAS Imagery (2018) Percent Shrub Cover for the Desatoya Mountains, Nevada, Derived from Worldview-2 and UAS Imagery (2018)
Accurate maps of habitat availability for Greater Sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) across broad extents are of paramount importance to conservation efforts in sagebrush ecosystems across the Great Basin, particularly for habitat assessments and mitigation efforts. However, the ability to model sage-grouse habitat at fine spatial scales necessary for microhabitat assessment is...
SNP Genotypes for Chylismia brevipes Sampled in the Mojave Desert, 2016-2019 SNP Genotypes for Chylismia brevipes Sampled in the Mojave Desert, 2016-2019
These data show multilocus genotypes for Chylismia brevipes sampled from natural populations throughout the Mojave Desert of California, Nevada, and Arizona from 2016 to 2019. The data release contains two variant call format (.vcf) files with Single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) from single-end Restriction-site associated DNA sequencing (RADSeq), which differ in the restriction enzyme...
Desert Bighorn Sheep Locations and Associated Home Range Areas across Southern Nevada Desert Bighorn Sheep Locations and Associated Home Range Areas across Southern Nevada
Areas of desert bighorn sheep home ranges from southern Nevada. Home ranges are attributed with average slope, average vector ruggedness measure (VRM), median distance to water, average NDVI, NDVI coefficient of variation, and Palmer's drought severity index (PDSI).
