All Data

Identifying how close species are to their current upper thermal limits estimates species sensitivity to climate change (or the species ability to persist in place without changing). Process-based models like the NicheMapR mechanistic niche model (Kearney et al. 2019; https://doi.org/10.1111/ecog.04680) use a mass-balance approach to translate microclimate estimates into individual...

Geochemical data were generated from multiple thermally immature drill cores of the Eagle Ford Group across Texas. This data set accompanies a journal article that shows the relationship between whole rock S/Fe and degree of organic sulfurization across the thermally immature Eagle Ford in Texas. The data include LECO total carbon and total organic carbon, programmed pyrolysis, whole...

From May 27 to June 21, 2024, a Virginia Tech team of 5 sampled the fish community in 30 streams spanning a gradient of the developed landscape, including Potomac River, Rappahannock River, and upper Chesapeake Bay tributaries of Maryland, Washington, D.C., and Virginia, USA. These fish surveys were part of a larger stream-health study including other teams who surveyed geomorphology...

This is a dataset containing the input and output data used in the analysis of best practices of invasive plant species distribution modeling (Young et al. 2024). We developed habitat suitability models for 13 invasive plant species at a variety of geographic ranges and different invasion stages and modeling strategies to assess the impact of predictor quality, thinning resolution, and...

In this study, blue catfish were sampled from tidal reaches of the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland (Nanticoke River, Broad Creek, Marshyhope Creek, and Patuxent River) from March - October and at some sites, during specific times of the year. All fish were analyzed with histology to assess reproductive stage (immature, pre-spawn, and post-spawn) and plasma was collected for multiple endpoints...

This model archive summary documents the suspended fines (grain sizes 0.0625mm) concentration model developed to compute 5-minute suspended fines concentration data of the Columbia River at Port Westward, near Quincy, OR, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) site number 14246900. The methods used follow USGS guidance as referenced in USGS Techniques and Methods, Book 3, Chap. C2 (Edwards and...

This model archive summary documents the suspended sand (grain sizes > 0.0625mm) concentration model developed to compute 5-minute suspended sand concentration data of the Columbia River at Port Westward, near Quincy, OR, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) site number 14246900. The methods used follow USGS guidance as referenced in USGS Techniques and Methods, Book 3, Chap. C2 (Edwards and...

This model archive summary documents the suspended sediment concentration (SSC) model (version 2.0) developed to compute 5-minute SSC data of the Columbia River at Port Westward, near Quincy, OR, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) site number 14246900. The methods used follow USGS guidance as referenced in USGS Techniques and Methods, Book 3, Chap. C2 (Edwards and others, 1999); Office of...

These data support a study modeling the growth, capture, and survival of giant gartersnakes (Thamnophis gigas). We captured giant gartersnakes inhabiting rice irrigation canals in the Sacramento Valley, California, USA from 2018 to 2023. We analyzed capture-mark-recapture data from 19 populations of giant gartersnakes sampled with an integrated growth-survival model. We tested how growth...

The dataset includes the coordinates, collection year, age, band number, studbook number, and 54 microsatellite genetic markers for 186 individual light-footed Ridgway's rails, Rallus obsoletus levipes.

The datasets presented here include the Climate Priming Index, degree-day, and seasonal precipitation data used as inputs to the index for the state of Alaska. The data is presented for two time periods: a historic period from 1901-2020, and a projected period from 2000-2100 using 3 climate scenarios. The climate priming index was developed to identify years where the climatic conditions...

This data release provides concentration results for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) collected by volunteer community members, in tapwater samples from 83 private residences, in select areas within the United States. Samples were collected July 1, 2023, through November 10, 2023. Samples were analyzed at the U.S. Geological Survey National Water Quality Laboratory (NWQL) in...
