Polar Bear Microsatellite Data Southern Beaufort Sea 2010-2023

This data set provides polar bear microsatellite genotypes derived from twenty loci (CPH9, CXX20, CXX110, CXX173, G1A, G10B, G10C, G1D, G10H, G10J, G10L, G10M, G10P, G10U, G10X, MU50, MU51, MU59, MSUT2, 145P07). Blood, buccal swab, skin, and hair samples for microsatellite genetic analysis were collected from polar bears from the Southern Beaufort Sea between 1981 and 2023. Blood, buccal...

Emperor Goose (Anser canagicus) Mark-recapture and Resight Encounter History from the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta, Alaska, 1994-2017

This dataset is in one table with mark-recapture and resight data of Emperor Geese marked with plastic color bands on the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta in Alaska, 1994-2017.

Movements of Black Brant Tagged While Molting in the National Petroleum Reserve - Alaska

This data release contains five tables of information related to the movement patterns of Black Brant equipped with high-frequency GPS tags: 1) brant banding records, 2) helicopter flight routes for experimental disturbance trials, 3) Brant movement data from Milsar tags deployed in 2023, 4) Brant movement data from Milsar tags deployed in 2024, and 5) Brant movement data from Ornitela...

Genomic Data from Gray-headed Chickadee and Boreal Chickadee

This dataset provides sample data and NCBI accession information for genomic sequencing of Gray-headed Chickadee and Boreal Chickadee from North America and Russia.

Genotype Data for Population Genetic Study of Emperor Geese (Anser canagicus) in Alaska

This data release includes genotype data for 210 Emperor Geese collected on their breeding grounds in Alaska, specifically the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta and the Seward Peninsula, from 2007-2022. The samples were sequenced with restriction site-associated sequencing (RAD-seq), and genotyped at 44,648 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs).

Walrus Counts Apparent from Aerial Survey Images Collected Near Point Lay, Alaska, September 2024

This dataset provides walrus counts in 10 m by 10 m square grid cells randomly selected from a standard set of grid cells established for the study area and that intersected with previously published walrus herd outlines and overlain on aerial survey imagery. Results are provided as geospatial polygons saved in the shapefile format. These data are based on visual interpretation of...

Genetic Data for Evaluating Morphology Use to Identify Hunter-Harvested Geese

This data release contains one table of genetic data (mitochondrial haplotypes and nuclear microsatellite genotypes) used to evaluate utility of two morphological measures (culmen length and plumage color) to correctly identify groups of hunter-harvested dusky (Branta canadensis occidentalis) and dusky-like Canada geese on wintering grounds within the Pacific Flyway of North America...

Data for Assessing the Utility of eDNA Approaches for Determining the Impacts of Metal Mobilization from Thawing Permafrost on Fish Communities in Arctic Streams

This data set describes results for laboratory experiments to determine the efficacy of environmental DNA quantitative PCR assays for four fish species when applied to filtered water samples containing metals mobilized from thawing permafrost.

Macoma Clam Prey Identified by DNA Metabarcoding, 2018 and 2019, Alaska

This dataset describes sequence data derived from 18S ribosomal and ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase (rbcL) DNA. Stomach contents from 190 Macoma calcarea clams were examined for this study. Clams were collected from the Bering Sea and Chukchi Sea, Alaska in 2018 and 2019 using benthic van Veen grabs.

Data Associated with Beak Deformities in Red-tailed Hawks (Buteo jamaicensis), 1992-2024

This dataset consists of three tables with data associated with Red-tailed Hawks exhibiting beak deformities characteristic of avian keratin disorder (AKD). The first is comprised of Red-tailed Hawks collected or captured in the Northwest region of the United States. The second is a compilation of reports from citizen science observers or scientific literature. The third is a poecivirus...

Data from Migratory Bird Aerial Surveys and Habitat, Nest Success, and Genetic Samples from Spectacled Eiders (Somateria fischeri) on the Indigirka River Delta, Russia

This data release contains five spreadsheets of information from aerial surveys of the Indigirka River Delta, Russia, in June of 1993 and 1994, data on habitats where nests of Spectacled Eiders (Somateria fischeri) and other species of waterfowl were observed from 1993 to 1995, and genotypic data from feathers collected from eider nests to determine inter-annual rates of return by...

U-Pb Isotopic Data and Dates of Zircon from the Western Upper Peninsula of Michigan and Northern Wisconsin, United States

This dataset contains U-Pb isotopic data and associated dates of zircon from sedimentary and metamorphic rocks collected from the western Upper Peninsula of Michigan and northern Wisconsin, United States. The samples were collected as part of geological mapping and research conducted from 2019 to 2023 and funded by the Mineral Resources Program of the U.S. Geological Survey. Zircon...
