Burmese python environmental DNA data, and associated attributes, collected from ARM Loxahatchee NWR and surrounding areas, from 2014-2016 Burmese python environmental DNA data, and associated attributes, collected from ARM Loxahatchee NWR and surrounding areas, from 2014-2016
Environmental DNA (eDNA) detection of invasive species can be used to delimit occupied ranges and estimate probabilities to inform management decisions. Environmental DNA is shed into the environment through skin cells and bodily fluids and can be detected in water samples collected from lakes, rivers, and swamps. In south Florida, invasive Burmese pythons occupy much of the Greater...
Salt marsh phenology and sexual reproductive characteristics at reference and restored sites in Louisiana, USA (2016) Salt marsh phenology and sexual reproductive characteristics at reference and restored sites in Louisiana, USA (2016)
This dataset provides information on plant sexual reproduction of a clonally-spreading perennial species, Spartina alterniflora. We investigated flowering phenology, potential seed and seedling production, and flower damage in reference and restored sites in southeastern Louisiana. Additional covariates of elevation and soil parameters were used to investigate underlying mechanisms of...
Droplet digital PCR data from method testing to improve eDNA yield and reduce inhibitors from environmental water samples Droplet digital PCR data from method testing to improve eDNA yield and reduce inhibitors from environmental water samples
Data files for manuscript "Improving eDNA yield and inhibitor reduction through increased water volumes and modified multi-filter isolation techniques". These include the results of different treatments for inhibitor removal from a water sample and DNA yield quantities from such tests. Environmental DNA (eDNA) methods detect genetic material that is shed into the environment through skin...
Abundance, harvests, and harvest rates of selected duck species in the Atlantic Flyway, 1998-2017 Abundance, harvests, and harvest rates of selected duck species in the Atlantic Flyway, 1998-2017
These data provide estimates of abundance and measures of harvest pressure for five species (mallard, American green-winged teal, wood duck, ring-necked duck, and Common and Barrows' goldeneyes combined) of ducks breeding in the Atlantic Flyway of North America, 1998-2017. Abundance data are based on federal and state surveys encompassing southern Ontario, Quebec, and Maine south to...
Water level and soil pore water salinity, temperature, and conductivity data in tidally influenced forested wetlands in South Carolina and Georgia Water level and soil pore water salinity, temperature, and conductivity data in tidally influenced forested wetlands in South Carolina and Georgia
Data were collected from coastal wetlands (tidal swamps and marsh) along the Waccamaw and Savannah Rivers in South Carolina and Georgia (See Krauss et al. 2009 for additional details). Data were collected from coastal wetlands (tidal swamps and marsh) along the Waccamaw and Savannah Rivers in South Carolina and Georgia (See Krauss et al. 2009 for additional details).

Indo-West Pacific species of Trachinotus with spots on their sides as adults, with description of a new species endemic to the Marquesas Islands (Teleostei: Carangidae) Indo-West Pacific species of Trachinotus with spots on their sides as adults, with description of a new species endemic to the Marquesas Islands (Teleostei: Carangidae)
The dataset is a composite of morphological data used in the description of a new species of marine fish, Trachinotus macrospilus (Teleostei: Carangidae), endemic to the Marquesas Islands of the Indo-West Pacific. In the addition to the newly described species, three previously named (nominate) species of the same genus are compared and redescribed in this same manuscript. The...
Using relative topography and elevation uncertainty to delineate dune habitat on barrier islands Using relative topography and elevation uncertainty to delineate dune habitat on barrier islands
Dunes with a high relative topography can often be easily distinguished in high-resolution lidar-based digital elevation models (DEMs). Thus, researchers have begun using relative topography metrics, such as the topographic position index (TPI; Weiss, 2001), to identify ridges and upper slopes for extracting dunes from lidar-based DEMs (Wernette et al., 2016; Halls et al. 2018). DEMs are...
Pelican Island and Pass La Mer to Chaland Pass Restoration (BA-38): Pelican Island and Chaland Headland 2016 habitat classifications Pelican Island and Pass La Mer to Chaland Pass Restoration (BA-38): Pelican Island and Chaland Headland 2016 habitat classifications
The Barrier Island Comprehensive Monitoring (BICM) program was developed by Louisiana's Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority (CPRA) and is implemented as a component of the System Wide Assessment and Monitoring (SWAMP) program. The program uses both historical data and contemporary data collections to assess and monitor changes in the aerial and subaqueous extent of islands...
Mineral content, bulk density, and beryllium-7 activity of wetland soils of the Davis Pond Freshwater Diversion Outfall Area, Louisiana, in 2015 Mineral content, bulk density, and beryllium-7 activity of wetland soils of the Davis Pond Freshwater Diversion Outfall Area, Louisiana, in 2015
These data provide information regarding beryllium-7 radioisotope activity, bulk density, and percent organic matter for wetland soils in the immediate outfall region of an operational Mississippi River diversion. From them, information relating to short-term mineral sediment mass accumulation rates and sediment retention rates in the receiving basin can be inferred.
Microclimate influences mangrove freeze damage: Implications for range expansion in response to changing macroclimate Microclimate influences mangrove freeze damage: Implications for range expansion in response to changing macroclimate
In this data release, we present data from three nights of chilling temperatures in 2015 (18th/19th January 2015; 18th/19th February 2015; 5th/6th March 2015) and from three nights of freezing temperatures in 2017/2018 (6th/7th January 2017; 1nd/2nd January 2018; 16th/17th January 2018). In the paper that accompanies this release, we synthesized hypotheses regarding the effects of...
Sap flow data from a long-hydroperiod forested wetland undergoing salinity intrusion in South Carolina, USA Sap flow data from a long-hydroperiod forested wetland undergoing salinity intrusion in South Carolina, USA
These data represent sap flow measurements from four tree species and were recorded every 30 minutes over several months in 2015. Data were collected from a tidally-influenced freshwater forested wetland at Strawberry Swamp, located on Hobcaw Barony, which is approximately 7 km east of Georgetown, South Carolina, USA.
Sedimentary data from the lower Pearl River, Louisiana, USA Sedimentary data from the lower Pearl River, Louisiana, USA
Scientists from the U. S. Geological Survey (USGS) St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center investigated the sedimentary and geochemical properties of the lower reaches of the Pearl River in eastern Louisiana by collecting estuarine, riverine and marsh sediments. This was done in order to increase understanding of the region's environmental history, quantify the deposition...
