Native freshwater mussels are a substantial resource of concern to resource managers because of their contribution to aquatic ecosystems, First Foods status for Native American tribes, and general imperilment. As such, resource managers in the USFWS Lower Great Lakes Fish and Wildlife Conservation Office partnered with USGS to characterize the native freshwater mussel assemblage in the...

The Swinomish Indian Tribal Community (SITC) is reviving an ancient mariculture practice by installing the first known present-day clam garden in the United States. Clam gardens are intertidal features modified by coastal Indigenous people (e.g., creating intertidal terraces to alter beach slope and substrate) to enhance clam habitat for optimal shellfish production. Nearshore substrate

This data release (https://doi.org/10.5066/P13JNYU2) contains neutron scattering intensities of a Niobrara Formation rock sample in the presence of pressurized perdeuterated methane, perdeuterated methane-methane, and perdeuterated methane-ethane mixtures at 60 degrees C. Also provided are the densities and scattering length densities for the various fluid mixtures and modeled accessible...

This data release contains all new glassy-only single-test stable isotope data from International Ocean Discovery Program (formerly Ocean Drilling Program) Sites 846 and 929, in addition to image plates containing photographs of every Cibicidoides test analyzed. This dataset and associated plates are part of a larger manuscript, which will be submitted for consideration to the journal...

This data release contains Adirondack stream chemistry data collected by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Rome, NY field station between 1979 and 2001. These data were previously unpublished or only summarized in associated New York State reports and peer-reviewed journal articles.

Nitrogen, phosphorus, and suspended-sediment loads, and changes in loads, in major rivers across the Chesapeake Bay watershed were calculated using monitoring data from the Chesapeake Bay River Input Monitoring (RIM) Network stations for the period 1985 through 2025. Nutrient and suspended-sediment loads and changes in loads were determined by applying a weighted regression approach...

These geospatial datasets correspond to the extraction of elements and their attributes related to the shoreline and back beach of eleven (11) municipalities in the northwest and north coasts of Puerto Rico (Rincón, Aguadilla, Isabela, Hatillo, Arecibo, Dorado, Vega Baja, Carolina, Loíza, Río Grande, and Luquillo). These data were generated as part of the USGS Development of Coastal...

Sleeper populations are established populations of introduced species whose population growth is limited by one or more abiotic or biotic conditions. Sleeper populations pose an invasion risk if a change in those limiting conditions, such as climate change, enables population growth and invasion. With thousands of established species, it is critical that we identify and prioritize...

Annual spring (May) and fall (late October through early November) gillnet assessment surveys were conducted by researchers at the USGS Great Lakes Science Center (GLSC) in northern Lake Michigan, including the Northern Refuge, between 1998-2025. Total length, weight, sex, maturity, and sea lamprey wounds were recorded for each lake trout and burbot caught in the gill nets. Lake trout...

The increased use of agrochemicals to enhance crop production has had detrimental environmental effects. Indeed, pesticides and their deleterious environmental effects have been implicated in the sharp decline in North American farmland-breeding birds. Here, using a combination of deep shotgun metatranscriptomics and pesticide exposure data, we sought to assess whether exposure to cotton

A few studies have focused on avian gut virome variation in response to environmental stressors, but none have assessed virome in relation to chemically intensive crops, the production of which effects various aspects of avian health and fitness, and deleteriously alters available food resources. In this study we used shotgun metatranscriptomics (2 x 150bp; Illumina HiSeq 4000 with...
