Isotope data of vesicomyid clams collected in the Pacific Ocean off the Oregon coastline in 2019 Isotope data of vesicomyid clams collected in the Pacific Ocean off the Oregon coastline in 2019
Isotope data for vesicomyid clams collected in the Pacific Ocean off the Oregon coastline in 2019.
Evaluating changes in Piping Plover home ranges following coastal restoration at Whiskey Island and Caminada Headland, Louisiana from 2013 to 2019 Evaluating changes in Piping Plover home ranges following coastal restoration at Whiskey Island and Caminada Headland, Louisiana from 2013 to 2019
Over time, barrier islands may become eroded and experience land loss, which require management actions to restore island integrity. The process of restoring barrier islands can create new habitats but also alter existing habitats, which can impact the organisms depending on coastal habitats, such as the Endangered Species Act-listed Piping Plover (Charadrius melodus). Therefore, we...
Greater Everglades Burmese Python Stable Isotope Data and Standard Ellipse Area Literature Review Greater Everglades Burmese Python Stable Isotope Data and Standard Ellipse Area Literature Review
Burmese pythons are an invasive species in the Greater Everglades Ecosystem. Burmese pythons captured in the ecosystem are euthanized, and in an effort to learn about this invasive species, all euthanized pythons are necropsied, during which time samples are collected. We analyzed the stable isotope ratios of carbon and nitrogen in muscle samples from 423 Burmese pythons euthanized and...
Timing of coral (Swiftia exserta) spawning in U.S.G.S. Wetland and Aquatic Research Center, Gainesville, FL Timing of coral (Swiftia exserta) spawning in U.S.G.S. Wetland and Aquatic Research Center, Gainesville, FL
The 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill injured mesophotic and deep-sea environments over a vast area. In order to restore the mesophotic and deep-sea coral species impacted by the spill, information on fundamental ecosystem processes such as reproduction is needed. During expeditions in 2021 and 2022, fragments of the mesophotic octocoral Swiftia exserta were collected from the northern...
RNA yield and sequencing data from Exosomal miRNA isolation in white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) for diagnostic biomarker discovery RNA yield and sequencing data from Exosomal miRNA isolation in white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) for diagnostic biomarker discovery
This study presents the isolation of exosomes and RNA from 20 samples of white-tailed deer serum using a commercially available kit, incorporating optimizations for RNA yield through two elutions and replicate pooling. The RNA yield from each method is reported, with six samples processed using three techniques. Seven samples underwent RNA sequencing, where total RNA was prepared for...
Water Level, Salinity, and Elevation Data at Turtle Bayou Mitigation Area of Bayou Sauvage National Wildlife Refuge, 2024 Water Level, Salinity, and Elevation Data at Turtle Bayou Mitigation Area of Bayou Sauvage National Wildlife Refuge, 2024
Bayou Sauvage National Wildlife Refuge (BSNWR) is an urban refuge in southeastern Louisiana that has been altered extensively due to human impacts. As a result, the hydrology of the impounded (interior) marshes within the BSNWR has been disrupted due to obstructions such as spoil banks, levees, and water control structures that affect the gradient and fluctuation of water surface...
Wetland transformations for three relative sea-level rise scenarios along the middle and upper Texas Coast, wetland current condition map and wetland transformation maps by decade, sea-level rise scenario, and coastal wetland drowning threshold (ver. 2.0, Wetland transformations for three relative sea-level rise scenarios along the middle and upper Texas Coast, wetland current condition map and wetland transformation maps by decade, sea-level rise scenario, and coastal wetland drowning threshold (ver. 2.0,
As sea levels rise, wetlands exposed to oceanic water can adapt to changing conditions through vertical development (i.e., soil surface elevation gains via biophysical feedbacks) and horizontal migration into upslope areas. Elevation-based models of wetland transformation from sea-level rise are often hampered from a variety of sources of uncertainty, including contemporary elevation and...
Long-term change on barrier islands and barrier shorelines from extreme storms and restoration along the north central Gulf of Mexico coast Long-term change on barrier islands and barrier shorelines from extreme storms and restoration along the north central Gulf of Mexico coast
These data utilize existing land cover products and elevation information to provide information on changes on barrier islands and barrier shorelines along the north central Gulf of Mexico coast. Specifically, this data release includes information on changes in subaerial land, habitat types, and high-tide flooding for barrier islands and barrier shorelines along the north central Gulf...
Data to support the role of the American Alligator (Alligator mississippiensis) in coastal wetland carbon dynamics Data to support the role of the American Alligator (Alligator mississippiensis) in coastal wetland carbon dynamics
Coastal wetlands store carbon in their soils. Carbon is produced by emergent biomass and in-situ root growth, as well as deposited through sedimentation. Burial of aboveground carbon within soils and disruption of long-term soil carbon storage are both influenced by the fauna present in coastal wetlands. Data were used to test the hypothesis that the American Alligator (Alligator...
Report to Congress CWPPRA Dataset 2024 Report to Congress CWPPRA Dataset 2024
In Louisiana, the Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection and Restoration Act (CWPPRA) identifies, prepares, and funds coastal wetland restoration projects. In the Evaluation Report to Congress to be submitted in 2024, geospatially driven visualizations are required to provide conceptual understanding of funded project sizes and locations as they pertain to the geographical region in...

Giving-up density experiments for two species of mammals in Florida, 2022 Giving-up density experiments for two species of mammals in Florida, 2022
Invasive predators pose a substantial threat to global biodiversity. Native prey species frequently exhibit naïveté to the cues of invasive predators, and this phenomenon may contribute to the disproportionate impact of invasive predators on prey populations. However, not all species exhibit naïveté, which has led to the generation of many hypotheses to explain patterns in prey responses...
