This data release includes data and metadata documenting 1) ambrosia beetle (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) species caught in multi-panel traps within ʻōhiʻa lehua (Metrosideros polymorpha) dominated forests in Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park as well as results from culturing Ceratocystis lukuohia or Ceratocystis huliohia, the fungi that cause rapid ʻōhiʻa death (ROD), from these traps, 2)...

A series of laboratory studies were conducted to understand Sicklefin and Shoal Chub feeding rates and maximum ration. Data included determination of Chironomid weight, estimated by taking weights and counts of approximately 5 grams of laboratory cultured chironomids. Chub maximum ration was determined by finding the feeding rate of dry commercial fish food that thar resulted in complete

The impacts of white-nose syndrome (WNS) on many bat species in eastern North America have been well-documented due to the length of time that the causative agent, Pseudogymnoascus destructans (Pd), has been present and the ability to monitor bat hibernacula in that region. However, the disease outcomes for bat species in western North America are less known because of the more recent...

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) deployed thirteen pressure loggers (RBR) to measure water levels and wave conditions on a reef-lined coast in Dorado, Puerto Rico. These loggers were positioned along a cross-shore transect that extends 1.8 kilometers from the coast (on the forereef, reef crest, and reef flat) and at various points within the reef embayment. Initial deployments began in...

​Accurate representation of stream networks at various scales in a hydrogeologic system is integral to modeling groundwater-stream interactions at the continental scale. To assess the accurate representation of stream networks, the distance of a point on the land surface to the nearest stream (DS) has been calculated. DS was calculated from the 30-meter Multi Order Hydrologic Postion...

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) collected stream samples at 19 sites in tributaries to the Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational River during 2012-15 in cooperation with the National Park Service (NPS) through the USGS-NPS Water-Quality Partnership to provide data on existing water-quality in small watersheds not previously characterized and where there was potential for...

This data release includes water quality and zooplankton data collected concurrently with the Floating Wetland Experiment in the West Pond on Bouldin Island in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. Data were collected to monitor water quality and zooplankton community composition before and after the installation of a floating tule wetland. The data were collected at a site near the floating...

Since 1975, annual water use for Louisiana has been published on a 5-year basis and is used for a variety of purposes. As the Sparta aquifer is a heavily used aquifer, is the sole source of groundwater for many parishes in Louisiana, and recent withdrawals have exceeded the Sparta’s natural recharge, a more frequent compilation of water usage for the Sparta aquifer in Louisiana is needed...

Since 2008, large-scale restoration programs have been implemented along the Willamette River, Oregon, to address historical losses of floodplain habitats for native fish. For much of the Willamette River floodplain, direct enhancement of floodplain habitats through restoration activities is needed because the underlying hydrologic, geomorphic, and vegetation processes that historically...

Ciénegas are freshwater to brackish wetlands in arid and semi-arid regions of North America, although they are primarily found in the southwestern U.S. and northwestern Mexico at elevations usually below 2000 meters. They are associated with groundwater or actively moving fresh water that historically resulted in perennial surface waters persisting for decades to centuries. The extent of...

This data release includes individual lengths, total dry mass, and taxonomic classification for a subset of adult aquatic insects captured emerging from the surface of wadeable wetlands in cropland and grassland landscapes across a salinity/hydrology gradient (N = 14 wetlands in 2015, N = 15 wetlands in 2016). Sampling was completed in late spring, after ice off was complete and during...

This dataset includes the one-dimensional HEC-RAS model calibration files and simulation input and output files for the Wallens Bend (WB) reach on the Clinch River near Kyles Ford, Tennessee. Simulation results were used as input for environmental DNA transport models.
