Data

These are the data used for growth modeling in the paper ‘Growth of a threatened desert fish becomes resource dependent when released from temperature limitation in a regulated river’. Growth of ectotherms is strongly tied to temperature but can vary with other factors, especially food acquisition rates. River regulation is widespread globally and often significantly alters both...

Environmental DNA (eDNA) samples were collected from fecal and pollen samples in Glacier National Park, Montana, USA, and Waterton Lakes National Park, Alberta, Canada, between 2013 and 2023. Sample contents were analyzed using eDNA metabarcoding of the trnL gene. This dataset contains the raw metabarcoding results, a list of local plant species, and the updated metabarcoding results...

This data release includes control point locations, depths, stratigraphic context, and reference information used to constrain the sedimentary and tectonic history of Chehalis Basin

This digital database is an inventory of microfossil samples in units or formations containing mottled mudstones and units or formations stratigraphically above and below units containing mottled mudstones. This database contains detailed information about each sample (e.g., USGS laboratory number, field number, collector and date collected, location quadrangle etc.) and database entries...

These data represent two years of trapping effort for invasive black and white tegu lizards (Salvator merianae) in South Florida. Over the course of the two years, traps were deployed in the same locations, but the type of bait in the trap varied. Bait treatment types consisted of a single real chicken egg (traditionally used in the past), 3 real eggs, 3 fake wooden eggs, 2 fake wooden...

The U.S. Geological Survey Upper Midwest Water Science Center, in cooperation with the U.S. Coast Guard Great Lakes Oil Spill Center of Expertise and the Mashkiiziibii Natural Resources Department, completed bathymetric surveys of the lower Bad River, Kakagon River, Honest John Lake, and the Bad River Slough using multibeam and single beam echosounders from April 29 to May 1, 2025. This...

Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) surveys were conducted within the San Francisco Volcanic Field (SFVF) in Northern Arizona from October 8th-15th in 2016 and August 4th-8th in 2023. These surveys collected GPR data using variable antenna frequencies and survey styles in varied geologic terrains. The main focus of this data collection was on volcanic terrains in the SFVF, including lava...

Ontogenetic niche shifts are almost universal in fishes and many other organisms and are thus often important to factor in conservation planning. However, some aspects of ontogeny, such as trophic shifts, remain poorly understood in many fishes. Eye lens stable isotope analysis has proven a powerful tool in understanding the ontogeny of some marine species, but few studies have applied...

Eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica) produced in a hatchery were maintained in cages at multiple sites in coastal Louisiana, and shell height, mortality, fecundity, and dermo were monitored to compare performance between genomically selected groups. Oysters were produced using genomic selection techniques targeting low-salinity tolerant oysters (high breeding value). To test...

This Model Archive Summary (MAS) describes the development of a turbidity derived suspended-sediment concentration (SSC) time-series computation model. The MAS includes all the methods and techniques used to develop the model for USGS station 11313315 Old River Near Byron, California. The time-series suspended-sediment concentration data are representative of the cross section and are...

This U.S. Geological Survey data release presents monthly evaporation estimates from Lake Mead, Nevada and Arizona, for January 2021 through December 2023. The spreadsheet includes five worksheets: (1) Read_Me worksheet contains information relevant to understanding the data contained in the rest of the worksheets. (2) Monthly_EC_Met worksheet includes data measured at a land-based...

The Corps of Engineers' Rock Island District is planning an unprecedented closure of the Illinois Waterway in 2020 in order to perform required maintenance on locks. Aerial imagery will document river conditions prior to the closure (2019) and after the locks are reopened (2021). Under a separate but related effort, aerial imagery of the entire Illinois Waterway will be collected in 2020...
