Genetic Data Associated with Avian Keratin Disorder and Poecivirus in Black-capped Chickadees, Alaska, 2001-2017 Genetic Data Associated with Avian Keratin Disorder and Poecivirus in Black-capped Chickadees, Alaska, 2001-2017

This dataset contains results of genetic screening for Poecivirus from samples of black-capped chickadees (BCCH; Poecile atricapillus) with and without clinical signs of avian keratin disorder (AKD). Data include information on detection/non-detection of the virus in tissue collected with buccal swabs, cloacal swabs, blood samples, and fecal samples from up to 124 individuals between...

Frullania nisquallensis Species Confirmation, Attu Island, Alaska, 2018 Frullania nisquallensis Species Confirmation, Attu Island, Alaska, 2018

This dataset contains sampling, molecular methods, and partial tRNA-Leu DNA sequence information for three individual Frullania nisquallensis.

Caribou Forage and Soil Data, North Slope of Alaska, 2011-2014 Caribou Forage and Soil Data, North Slope of Alaska, 2011-2014

These data are nutrient concentrations of seven key forage-plant species in the ranges of three caribou herds, in northern Alaska. During the growing seasons of 2011-2014, we collected forage samples from 21 plots within the ranges of three caribou herds: Central Arctic Herd (2011-2013), Teshekpuk (2011-2013), Western Arctic (2013-2014). We also analyzed stable isotopes of carbon (13C)...

Brown Bear Spring Energetics, Alaska, 2014-2017 Brown Bear Spring Energetics, Alaska, 2014-2017

These data are the data for spring body composition and energy content for adult female brown bears from Gates of the Arctic, Lake Clark, Kodiak, and Katmai, Alaska, 2014-2017

Brown Bear Phenotypic Plasticity, Alaska, 2013-2016 Brown Bear Phenotypic Plasticity, Alaska, 2013-2016

These data are the data for age, skull size, body length, and lean mass for Gates of the Arctic, Lake Clark, Kodiak, and Katmai, Alaska, 2013-2016.

Microsatellite Genetic Data for Sea Sandwort (Honckenya peploides) and Merckia (Wilhelmsia physodes), Alaska 2009-2016 Microsatellite Genetic Data for Sea Sandwort (Honckenya peploides) and Merckia (Wilhelmsia physodes), Alaska 2009-2016

This dataset contains sampling information and genetic data of 12 novel microsatellite loci developed and polymorphic in the Sea Sandwort (Honckenya peploides) and screened in Merckia (Wilhelmsia physodes) from Alaska. The allele sizes for the 12 microsatellite loci developed in this study are included for two populations of Sea Sandwort (Fossil Beach, Kodiak and Egg Bay, Atka) and one...

Antibiotic-resistant Escherichia coli in migratory birds inhabiting remote Alaska, 2015 Antibiotic-resistant Escherichia coli in migratory birds inhabiting remote Alaska, 2015

This data set includes information on collections of fecal or cloacal samples from wild birds at two locations in Alaska, USA. Samples were screened or Escherichia coli (E. coli) and tested for resistance to multiple antibiotics using a variety of methods.

Data for Montane-breeding Bird Distribution and Abundance across National Parks of Southwestern Alaska, 2004-2008 Data for Montane-breeding Bird Distribution and Abundance across National Parks of Southwestern Alaska, 2004-2008

Observation data and model covariate data from breeding bird inventory conducted during May-June 2004 and 2008 primarily in montane areas (>100 m above sea level) in Aniakchak National Monument and Preserve (Aniakchak NMP), Katmai National Park and Preserve (Katmai NPP), and Lake Clark National Park and Preserve (Lake Clark NPP) in southwestern Alaska. Observers conducted 1,021 point...

Satellite Telemetry Data for Greater White-fronted Geese (Anser albifrons) Captured on the Arctic Coastal Plain of Alaska, 2013-2017 Satellite Telemetry Data for Greater White-fronted Geese (Anser albifrons) Captured on the Arctic Coastal Plain of Alaska, 2013-2017

This data release contains one table of data from a four-year study of Greater White-fronted Goose (Anser albifrons frontalis) breeding ecology conducted in the National Petroleum Reserve - Alaska during 2013-2017. Location data depict habitat use of 5 marked female birds throughout the annual cycle.

Data for Evaluating Efficacy of 1- versus 2-prong Radio Transmitter Attachment for Scoters in Alaska and Washington, 2008-2010 Data for Evaluating Efficacy of 1- versus 2-prong Radio Transmitter Attachment for Scoters in Alaska and Washington, 2008-2010

A major challenge of wildlife telemetry is choosing an attachment technique that maximizes transmitter retention while minimizing negative side effects. For waterbirds, attachment of transmitters with subcutaneous anchors has been an effective and well-established technique, having been used on >40 species. This method was recently modified to include a second subcutaneous anchor...
