We report two draft genomes of previously undescribed Mycobacterium spp. isolated from invasive Northern snakehead (Channa argus) inhabiting the Chesapeake Bay Watershed, USA. The average nucleotide identity between these isolates and other available genomes was

This data release includes the results of state agency led electrofishing surveys conducted in lotic habitats in six states in the Northeastern U.S.: Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island. The following state agencies collected the electrofishing data: Massachusetts Division of Fisheries & Wildlife, Vermont Department of Fish and Wildlife, Vermont...

These are the scanned digital images of microfilm copies of paper seismic records from the World-Wide Standardized Seismographic Network (WWSSN). This data set spans from 1962 to 1978 and contains about 3.7 million single-day records, which is about 5% of the entire archive. Overall the data set contains 153 magnitude 6+ earthquakes and 156 nuclear explosions. All scans were done using...

This dataset contains gene expression data for brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) collected from the Loyalsock Creek watershed in Pennsylvania. Gene expression was quantified for three genes of interest: elongation factor 1-alpha (EF1), SfontSerpinh1 (a heat shock protein gene), and SfontColdRNA (a gene associated with cold response). The dataset was generated to support investigations...

The goal of this project was to produce estimates of the change in three ecosystem services - water yield, sediment runoff, and reef productivity (or seafood benefits) - under climate change and three newly developed land cover scenarios. The developed land cover scenarios expanded upon the Hawaii Carbon Assessment by simulating future land cover scenarios. The resulting scenarios used...

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a class of ubiquitous, environmentally persistent compounds that pose a threat to human and wildlife health. Ospreys (Pandion halieatus) are a model avian species with a documented history of serving as effective bioindicators of contamination. Our study aims to provide a more thorough understanding of PFAS presence in the Chesapeake and...

The U.S. Geological Survey deployed small uncrewed aircraft systems (sUAS) to collect aerial remote sensing data across sites within the Lower Darby Creek Superfund Site and the adjacent John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge (JHNWR) ~5 miles outside of Philadelphia, PA in March and August of 2024. March datasets include aerial images from natural color (RGB) and thermal infra-red (TIR)...

This data release comprises a collection of high-resolution environmental raster data for the Hawaiian Islands, developed to support conservation planning and ecological research. The collection includes both 30-meter and 10-meter resolution GeoTIFFs with topographical variables (elevation, aspect, slope, hillshade, and geomorphon landform classification), as well as complementary...

This data release (DR) is the update of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) - ScienceBase (SB) DR Bera (2024b), with the processed data for the period October 1, 2022, through September 30, 2023. This SB DR describes the watershed data management (WDM) database WBDR23.WDM. The precipitation data are collected from a tipping-bucket rain-gage network and the hydrologic data (stage and...

This data set contains Lake Trout (Salvelinus namaycush) egg density estimates obtained from suction sampling across five locations in Lake Ontario. These data were collected in October-November 2020 and November-December 2024 as part of an effort to identify Lake Trout spawning locations and habitat preference in Lake Ontario. Additional information on habitat characteristics at each...

This dataset is associated with an examination of environmental DNA (eDNA) obtained from freshwater matrices (i.e. benthic algae, sediment, and near bottom water) collected by scuba divers from previously established transects located along the U.S. shoreline of Lakes: Michigan, Huron, Erie, and Ontario. 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing (i.e., targeting bacterial communities) and high...

This data set includes information on benthic algae community composition collected during the growing season of 2024 at stations located along the U.S. shoreline of Lakes Michigan, Huron, Erie, and Ontario. Benthic algal community observations were taken by scuba divers in the field and by personnel in the lab during sample processing, including detailed microscopic examination of...
