Both aquatic and terrestrial insects can undergo complex evolutionary phases throughout their lifespan. Insects in a larval phase can accumulate and retain some chemicals, such as pesticides, throughout their various life cycles. Mature insects are often more mobile than their younger counterparts, making them able to transport pesticides over further distances. Insectivores (animals...

This data release includes the downscaled climate inputs from twenty-four Weather Generator Scenarios and hydrologic outputs using the Basin Characterization Model (BCM) version 8 (v8), described in Flint and others (2021a), with a 270 by 270-meter spatial resolution at a monthly time steps from water years 1916 to 2018 for California. The twenty-four Weather Generator scenarios are...

We developed maps of of projected present and future climate niches for 9 focal species (including 4 plants [common bearberry, Bebb's sedge, highland rush, and shrubby five-fingers], 2 birds [grasshopper sparrow and black-throated green warbler], and 3 salamanders [blue-spotted salamander, jefferson salamander, and marbled salamander]) to identify climate change refugia, areas on the...

The U.S. Geological Survey-Great Lakes Science Center (USGS-GLSC) began annual bottom trawl surveys of the Lake Huron prey fish community in 1976 to provide prey fish data for the Lake Huron fishery management community. The first full bottom trawl survey covering Michigan waters of Lake Huron was conducted in 1976. An integrated acoustics-midwater trawl survey was started by the USGS...

This data publication contains information collected as part of a field and laboratory effort to determine prevalence of avian malaria (Plasmodium relictum) and pox-like lesions (Avipoxvirus spp.) in native and non-native forest birds on Molokaʻi in the Hawaiian Islands. Forest bird banding data, observations of pox-like lesions and blood samples for diagnosis of Plasmodium relictum, the...

This data release contains detection and positional data from acoustically tagged fishes used to determine if fish species in the Sandusky River migrate through a location proposed for an invasive species deterrent. Five species—Shorthead Redhorse (Moxostoma macrolepidotum), White Bass (Morone chrysops), Channel Catfish (Ictalurus punctatus), Freshwater Drum (Aplodinotus grunniens), and...

This data release contains the methodology and results of research focused on helping refine grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) removal efforts in Lake Erie. This research includes information regarding acoustic telemetry receivers deployed in Lake Erie and its tributaries during the study time frame, temperature data collected from stations previous research has shown grass carp...

To represent land cover for modeling landscape connectivity and wildlife access to water in a binational study region, we developed a 2023 Landsat-based land cover map of the Lower Rio Grande Valley with 30-m resolution and 18 land cover classes, spanning portions of Texas (USA), Tamaulipas (Mexico), and Nuevo León (Mexico). We used Landsat 8 data, Landsat-derived spectral indices, and...

We used a landscape connectivity model to investigate the effects of barriers on wildlife access to water within the Lower Rio Grande Valley in southern Texas (USA). We used a modified omnidirectional connectivity model to compare wildlife access to the river across three border barrier scenarios: 1) a landscape without border barriers; 2) a landscape with the existing barrier system as...

This dataset provides tables with photointerpretation of delayed mortality and associated predictors in Sentinel-2 pixels across conifer forests in Whiskeytown National Recreation Area.

Lidar data is remotely sensed high-resolution elevation data collected by an airborne collection platform. Using a combination of laser range-finding, GPS positioning and inertial measurement technologies; Lidar instruments are able to make highly detailed Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) of the earth's terrain, man-made structures and vegetation. Breaklines are used in surface models to...

This dataset describes the laboratory antimycin-a water sample processing data and spatial and temporal measured antimycin-a water concentrations sampled during a 2024 native fish restoration in Munson Creek Crater Lake National Park, Oregon. Fintrol, containing the active ingredient antimycin-a, was applied to Munson Creek by the Crater Lake National Park Service staff and the U.S...
