Concentrations of Flea Treatment Insecticides in Prairie Dog Bait Pellets Concentrations of Flea Treatment Insecticides in Prairie Dog Bait Pellets
A collaborative effort with US Fish and Wildlife Services is underway with the goal of reducing the spread of flea contracted plague in prairie dog (Cynomys spp.) colonies across the US. One method of flea reduction being studied involves spreading bait pellets containing insecticides commonly used for flea control around prairie dog habitats. To better understand the effectiveness of...
Lake Trout (Salvelinus namaycush) Morphometrics, Mercury Concentrations, Age and Growth, and Food Web Metrics for Lakes in Alaskan National Parks, 2020-2023 Lake Trout (Salvelinus namaycush) Morphometrics, Mercury Concentrations, Age and Growth, and Food Web Metrics for Lakes in Alaskan National Parks, 2020-2023
This data release provides information on lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) collected from 10 lakes located in Alaska's national parks. The data are in two tables: (1) capture information, (2) morphometric measurements and mercury (Hg) concentrations, and a folder of individual photographs of captured lake trout. Lake trout were collected between September of 2020 and August of 2023 from...

Cameron-Creole Watershed Grand Bayou Marsh Creation (CS-54) 2024 land-water classification Cameron-Creole Watershed Grand Bayou Marsh Creation (CS-54) 2024 land-water classification
The Louisiana State Legislature established the Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection and Restoration Act (CWPPRA) to conserve, restore, create and enhance Louisiana's coastal wetlands. Restoration plans developed under CWPPRA require evaluating the effectiveness of each project in achieving long-term solutions to coastal wetlands loss. This data set includes mosaicked aerial photographs...
Survival data for pronghorn fawns over the first 15 days of life in western Oklahoma during 2022 and 2023 Survival data for pronghorn fawns over the first 15 days of life in western Oklahoma during 2022 and 2023
This dataset includes a single file with (i) daily survival histories for pronghorn (Antilocapra americana) fawns monitored over their first 15 days of life in western Oklahoma during 2022 and 2023, and (ii) covariate data associated with each fawn. Covariates included environmental conditions within the space-use area of each fawn's mother during the 30 days before parturition and daily...

An Expert Elicitation to Inform Coastal Management Decision-Making for Mitigating Future Hazards: Elicited Values An Expert Elicitation to Inform Coastal Management Decision-Making for Mitigating Future Hazards: Elicited Values
A scientific expert elicitation was conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey in March 2022 to address the feasibility of restoring coastal environments in response to future hazards to best meet management objectives. Subject matter experts produced probabilistic estimates of coastal change metrics used to evaluate decision objectives and alternatives informed by a stakeholder advisory...
