Data

This data package is comprised of one table with genetic data from Canada goose (Branta canadensis) and Cackling goose (Branta hutchinsii) sampled across their species range. Sample types include feather, blood quill, blood (whole), blood (buffer), and muscle. Data include sampling location and allele sizes of 9 microsatellite loci and mitochondrial control region haplotype information.

The freshwater mussel genus Obovaria (Bivalvia: Unionidae) has been recognized as taxonomically challenging due to difficulties distinguishing intraspecific variation in shell shape from interspecific convergence. Here we provide details of molecular data used in an integrative approach to investigate species boundaries in Obovaria in the Gulf Coastal Plain and adjacent drainages. The...

The U.S. Geological Survey Western Ecological Research Center (WERC) and Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center (PCMSC) collected cores in five restored tidal marshes in San Francisco Bay Estuary. The restored marsh sites included: Bahia Marsh, Tubbs Island Setback, Grays Marsh, and Pond A6. This data release includes photographs, computed tomography (CT) scans, Cesium-137 activity...

This data release contains the Land Use/Land Cover (LULC) data available in the Neponset River Basin StreamStats application. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) used the hydrologic response unit (HRU) approach outlined in EPA (2023) to derive the LULC raster from Massachusetts 2016 LULC data from MassGIS (2019), and the Natural Resources Conservation Service Soil Survey...

This dataset is the sixth installment of a yearly connectivity update for forested habitat within the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative's (GLRI) Terrestrial Habitats & Connectivity (TH&C) work group's Pilot Area. The Pilot Area is a region of the northern Great Lakes Basin between Ashland, WI and the Keweenaw Peninsula and is bounded by Lake Superior in the north and the basin boundary...

This dataset is the sixth installment of a yearly connectivity update for open habitat within the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative's (GLRI) Terrestrial Habitats & Connectivity (TH&C) work group's Pilot Area. The Pilot Area is a region of the northern Great Lakes Basin between Ashland, Wisconsin and the Keweenaw Peninsula and is bounded by Lake Superior in the north and the basin...

Since 2005, the U.S. Geological Survey - Great Lakes Science Center's Lake Erie Biological Station (LEBS) has participated in a collaborative, multiagency effort to assess pelagic prey fish populations in the western (WB), central (CB), and eastern (EB) basins of Lake Erie through a combination of hydroacoustic and midwater trawl sampling. Since 2022, a stratified-random sampling...

Experts from disciplines relevant to chronic wasting disease (CWD) management participated in a facilitated elicitation workshop sessions from 02/23/2022 to 03/16/2022 that identified potential management interventions. These interventions were organized into thematic categories, and each theme was prioritized through a structured voting process in which participants could select up to...

This data release contains geospatial datasets that map and characterize the hydrogeologic conditions of the Lower Fall Creek unconsolidated aquifer system in Tompkins County, New York. The release includes ten datasets. Nine are shapefiles: the extent of the study area, the aquifer boundary divided into hydrogeologic sections, the stratified-drift aquifer boundary, surficial geology...

This data release contains horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratio (HVSR) passive-seismic sounding data and associated depth-to-bedrock estimates collected at sites in Tompkins and Cortland Counties, New York, between September 2021 and May 2023. The release includes (1) a comma-separated values (CSV) file summarizing each survey, including site name and location, date, land-surface...

This table contains field measured surface, ground, and woody material for 164 plots across four sites in southwestern Virginia. Also included are metrics derived from coincident terrestrial laser scanning use to predict fuel loading. In the course of model creation, outliers were removed and hierarchical clustering was used to improve model performance, these groups are also recorded in...

This dataset contains basic morphological data: total length, body depth, body width, weight, and swimming performance metrics: relative Uburst, relative Ucrit, absolute Uburst, and absolute Ucrit for hybridized Molly Poecilia mexicana X P. salvatoris X P. sphenops, Green Swordtail Xiphophorus hellerii, and Blackchin Tilapia Sarotherodon melanotheron collected from the Ala Wai and Halawa
