All Data

The dataset provides access to all data used in the interpretation of results for the study including dose response curves from toxicity tests, predicted minimum lethal concentration data, water quality data, and mortality data.

This data contains the mean and standard deviations for movement rates for silver carp in the upper Mississippi River 2014 and 2021. The data are summaries of the posterior distribution from a Bayesian multistate model described in Stanton et al. 2024 (https://doi.org/10.7717/peerj.17834).

This data release contains a set of 21st-century burned-area projections to explicitly account for fire-fuel feedbacks in boreal North America for the years 2010 - 2100. Wildfire regimes in the boreal forest biome of North America are vulnerable to shifts in climate, and significant intensifications in area burned are anticipated under many 21st-century global climate model (GCM)...

This dataset includes measurements of shell properties (e.g. density, volume, and weight) of the ostracode species Paracyprideis pseudopunctillata (subphylum Crustacea), which inhabits the continental shelves of the Arctic Ocean. Using microfocus X-ray computed tomography (microXCT) scans, we generated detailed morphometric measurements of specimens collected from both surface and down...

Information concerning the availability, use, and quality of water in the 64 parishes of Louisiana is critical for water-supply management. In cooperation with the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Lower Mississippi-Gulf (LMG) Water Science Center (WSC) has been collecting, compiling, and publishing water-withdrawal and water-use...

This data release provides Geologic Map Schema (GeMS)-compliant GIS data for new geologic mapping of the Bison Range and surrounding area on the Flathead Reservation, northwestern Montana. The database represents the geology for the 150 square kilometer, geologically complex map area, at a publication scale of 1:24,000. The map covers parts of Sanders and Lake Counties, Montana. All...

Ambrosia beetles (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) have been implicated in the spread of Ceratocystis fungi that cause rapid ‘ōhiʻa death (ROD), a deadly fungal disease threatening the keystone Hawaiian tree ʻōhiʻa lehua (Metrosideros polymorpha). Research has investigated the role that ambrosia beetles play in the spread of the disease, including studies within Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park...

This document describes a new equation for estimating suspended-sediment concentration (SSC) at a fixed point from turbidity values at continuous 15-minute intervals and daily suspended sediment load at USGS site Breitenbush River above French Creek near Detroit, Oregon. The methods described follow USGS guidance as referenced in USGS Techniques and Methods, Book 3, Chap. C2 (Edwards and...

Northern deltas receive chromophoric dissolved organic matter (CDOM) from their watersheds, which can be oxidized to carbon dioxide upon absorption of sunlight (i.e., photomineralized). These deltas also receive total suspended solids (TSS), which may shade sunlight absorption by CDOM, thus limiting photomineralization. To quantify this interaction for the first time, we measured

Floodplain forests are being transformed by multiple pressures, prompting widespread management and restoration efforts. It is uncertain how disturbances, including hydrologic change, and management actions will interact to influence the ecology of these threatened forests. Here, we present the results of a forest landscape model in support of an ecological study detailed in the...

This data release contains the boundaries of assessment units, assessment input data, and resulting fact sheet data tables for the assessment of undiscovered oil and gas resources in the North Cuba area. The assessment unit is the fundamental unit used in the National and Global Oil and Gas Assessment Project for the assessment of undiscovered oil and gas resources. The assessment unit...

We conducted large-scale systematic surveys for native mussels across six reaches of the upper Mississippi River. In each reach, divers placed two 0.25 square meter quadrat frames on the river bottom. The duplicate quadrats, which were placed 10 m apart in an upstream to downstream direction, were used to increase the area sampled at each site and increase the effectiveness of this...
