Whooping crane migration habitat selection disturbance data and maps Whooping crane migration habitat selection disturbance data and maps
These data and maps were developed to support an effort to understand how whooping cranes (Grus americana) select stopover habitat in the presence of human infrastructure. Location and associated data came from whooping cranes from the Aransas-Wood Buffalo Population, 2010–2016. We marked a sample of 57 whooping cranes with leg-mounted transmitters that acquired locations via the global

Stream Temperature and Dissolved Oxygen Responses to Small Dams and Dam Removal in Massachusetts Stream Temperature and Dissolved Oxygen Responses to Small Dams and Dam Removal in Massachusetts
Small, surface-release dams are ubiquitous across the U.S. and have the potential to alter stream flow, impede sediment and nutrient transport, and fragment biotic assemblages. To mitigate these and other ecological impacts and reduce public safety hazards, dam removal has become an increasingly prevalent method of stream restoration. However, few streams have been consistently monitored...
