Nocardia spp. are opportunistic pathogens of humans, domestic animals, and wildlife that can cause high levels of morbidity and mortality. Reported cases of nocardiosis in Aves are rare. We diagnosed nocardial airsacculitis in a free-ranging mallard duck (Anas platyrhynchos) from Arizona, USA. Histopathology showed multiple granulomas expanding the air sac with intralesional filamentous...

The data set contains measurement locations and measurements of daily and sub-daily water temperature, daily river discharge, and daily air temperature for several sites in the Upper Missouri River basin of Montana and North Dakota, 2001-2022. Water temperature sites include: the Missouri River upstream from Fort Peck Reservoir, Montana; multiple locations through a 351-km reach...

The Deepwater Horizon oil spill on April 20, 2010 caused extensive injury to natural resources in the Gulf of Mexico, and Gavia immer (common loon) were negatively affected from the spill. The Open Ocean Trustee Implementation Group funded the project Restoration of Common Loons in Minnesota to restore common loons lost to the spill. In 2020–21, study lakes in a seven-county region in...

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.

Information of hydrogeologic and geologic importance from the U.S. Geological Survey Oil and Gas Investigations Map 10, "Maps showing thickness and general character of the Cretaceous deposits in the western interior of the United States" (Reeside, 1944) were digitized from scanned maps 1, 2, 9, and 10. Isopach contours were captured and, along with Geologic Map of North America (GMNA)...

This dataset details individual species and natural habitat vulnerability rankings, including contextual study-specific information. This data was collected from original publications found through a literature search. Information is cumulative to include climate change vulnerability assessment (CCVA) results summarized in Staudinger et al. (2015) and published as of December 2023.

Geochemical and mineralogical characterization data was collected for samples of the Upper Devonian Hanover and Dunkirk Formations from outcrops in the Appalachian Basin (Chautauqua County, New York). The data was integrated with outcrop descriptions in a publication (see larger work) that describes the enrichment of particular trace metals and minerals in different shale types formed...

This dataset includes literature-derived ecological data from tidal saline wetlands across the United States, Canada, and Mexico for the following ecosystem properties: canopy height, aboveground biomass, productivity, soil carbon density, and soil carbon accumulation rates.

The database for the geologic map of the Frederick 30 x 60 quadrangle covers the distinct geologic provinces and sections of the central Appalachian region that are defined by unique bedrock and resulting landforms. From west to east, the provinces include the Great Valley section of the Valley and Ridge province, the Blue Ridge province, and the Piedmont province; in the extreme...

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...

Sediment accretion measurements were made at the SMARTX warming experiment at the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center's Global Change Research Wetland. Feldspar marker horizons were established at the beginning of the experiment in 2016 in the warming plots, and were subsequently buried over time by wetland accretion of both organic and inorganic matter. These data include the...

As stream temperatures increase, cold water adapted brook trout populations are projected to decline. However, there are mechanisms brook trout can use to persist in warming streams. Those mechanisms include acclimation, adaptation, and utilizing cold water refugia in streams where thermal heterogeneity is high. Using implanted temperature recording tags, this study examines individual...
