Data

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.

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...

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...

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).

The single database is in an excel file and includes data on elements occurring in keratin, liver, and kidneys of 46 Agassiz’s desert tortoises salvaged from the Mojave and Colorado deserts of California between 1993 and 2000.

These data were collected to assess the occurrence of foothill yellow-legged frogs (Rana boylii) in 2022, one year after the 2021 Dixie Fire in northeastern California, USA. The data included herein are those required to replicate the occupancy analysis presented in the manuscript, cited in the larger work. Additional site data are included in the manuscript itself.

Surface Elevation Tables and Marker Horizon (collectively SET-MH) datasets provide a unique opportunity to evaluate tidal marsh accretion rates compared with current and projected sea-level rise. SET is a tool that allows for accurate and repeatable measurements of marsh elevation, while Marker Horizon allows for the measurement of sediment that has deposited on top of the feldspar...

These data summarize postfire resprouts and seedling counts for Ceanothus species in subgenus Ceanothus based on published data that is cited and personal observation by the author and other co-authors of the publication.

Wildlife managers translocate greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus; sage-grouse) to augment small populations, but translocated sage-grouse often fail to reproduce post-release, sometimes hampering conservation objectives. We performed two distinct sage-grouse translocation projects in California and North Dakota from 2017-2020 and employed two translocation methods at both...

Effective waterfowl management relies on the collection of relevant demographic data to inform land management decisions; however, some types of data are difficult to obtain. For waterfowl, brood surveys are difficult to conduct because wetland habitats often obscure ducklings from being visually assessed. Here, we used Unoccupied Aerial Systems (UAS) to assess what wetland habitat...

These data include giant sequioa (Sequoiadendron giganteum) age and tree-ring data from measurements on 458 stumps. The original data were recorded on paper data sheets by Ellsworth Huntington and his assistants in 1911 and 1912; their methods are elaborated in Huntington (1914), and further details can be found in Stephenson and Demetry (1995). We entered the data from photocopies of...

To better inform fuel break planning and assessment, we developed a comprehensive spatial database of known existing fuel breaks from 1953 to 2018 throughout the western United States. Each fuel break is represented as a polygon in the database and is attributed with the date of installation, the treatment type employed, and the data source. The availability of these data promotes the...
