We introduce a multi-species analytical approach to predict the potential effectiveness of corridors using the 'spatial absorbing Markov chain' (SAMC) framework. We applied this framework to the Florida Wildlife Corridor and contrasted four mammal species with varying dispersal capacity: fox squirrel (Sciurus niger), Florida black bear (Ursus americanus floridanus), white-tailed deer...

To assess the spatial and temporal hydrographic variability along the West Florida Shelf (including Tampa Bay and Charlotte Harbor), stable oxygen (d18O) and hydrogen (dD) isotope ratios were measured using water samples collected from across the region by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and collaborators. Surface, bottom, and groundwater samples from a marine well network along the...

This dataset provides tables with demographic information for permanent plots across old Sequoia sempervirens forests in Redwood national and state parks.

These data support a long term demography study examining the occupancy, abundance, growth, capture, and survival of giant gartersnakes (Thamnophis gigas). We captured giant gartersnakes inhabiting rice irrigation canals, tidal sloughs and freshwater marshs in the Central Valley, California, USA. Data also include giant gartersnake morphometric data, trapline characteristics...

The 2008-2018 eruption at the summit of Kīlauea Volcano, Island of Hawaiʻi, provided a unique opportunity to study lava lake behavior due to the accessibility and robust monitoring network (Patrick and others, 2021). During the eruption, the lava lake rose in elevation and enlarged, eventually reaching about 300 m in diameter. The lake exhibited frequent oscillations in elevation due to

These data were compiled to assess species performance for 59 native grass, forb, and shrub species that were seeded and (or) planted across 20 RestoreNet sites in the Southwest US. Objectives of our study were to assess species performance within and across ecoregions, across revegetation methods (seeding or outplanting greenhouse-grown seedlings), and by growth form (grass, forb, or...

Observations from 20 years of tracking Burmese pythons in southern Florida using VHF radiotelemetry. From 2005 to 2024, we implanted 305 transmitters in 142 adult Burmese pythons. There were no observations of transmitter-related mortality. Overall, 98.7% of transmitters were retained, with a 1.3% expulsion rate (n = 4 transmitters). Expelled tags were only observed in subcutaneously...

This dataset consists of categorical mainstem habitat layers from the Lower Missouri, Middle Mississippi, Upper Mississippi, and Illinois rivers compiled or developed from imagery and topo bathymetric data to quantify the mainstem riverine habitat available to bighead carp, black carp, grass carp, or silver carp. Layers consist of engineered control structures, categorical habitats at an...

This data release contains near-surface geophysical and hydrological datasets collected along a historic coal-mining impacted reach of Nanticoke Creek near Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, which is completely dry at its terminus during baseflow conditions. The release includes specific conductance data from a series of sodium chloride tracer slug injection experiments conducted on June 11...

These data were compiled in support of the Post-2026 Operational Guidelines and Strategies for Lake Powell and Lake Mead (Post-2026) Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). These data were used to illustrate how six operational strategies (one baseline and 5 alternatives) could affect subaerial shoreline exposure and potential dust emissions at the Lake Powell and Lake Mead reservoirs. The...

Wet meadow habitats in southeast Idaho, which are important areas for wetland-dependent wildlife, are managed by four National Wildlife Refuges (NWR). Threats to this important, but regionally declining habitat include pesticide drift from adjacent and nearby lands. In this study, four NWRs, Camas, Minidoka, Bear Lake, and Grays Lake, are investigated for the presence of pesticides...

This data release compiles the inputs and outputs for a nitrogen mass balance model for nine small agricultural watersheds within the Chesapeake Bay nontidal watershed. Data inputs include annual nonpoint source nitrogen input, plant uptake, and output, and total discharge from 1985-2020 for each of the agricultural watersheds. Data inputs also include median groundwater age used to...
