Validation and Application of a Standardized Quantitative PCR Assay for the Assessment of Antimicrobial Resistance Genes Validation and Application of a Standardized Quantitative PCR Assay for the Assessment of Antimicrobial Resistance Genes
This data set describes results for two laboratory experiments to validate a quantitative PCR assay for the assessment of antimicrobial resistance genes in surface waters. Data are also provided for the application of the assay surface water samples collected from three national parks in Alaska.
Land use and socioeconomic time-series reveal legacy of redlining on present-day gentrification within a growing United States city. Land use and socioeconomic time-series reveal legacy of redlining on present-day gentrification within a growing United States city.
Home Owners’ Loan Corporation (HOLC) maps illustrated patterns of segregation in United States cites in the 1930s. As the causes and drivers of demographic and land use segregation vary over years, these maps provide an important spatial lens in determining how patterns of segregation spatially and temporally developed during the course of the past century. Using a high-resolution land...
Unknown fish fin clip DNA analysis, April 2025 Unknown fish fin clip DNA analysis, April 2025
We tested 28 fin clips for DNA of Goldfish (Carassius auratus) and Prussian Carp (Carassius gibelio) following published assay methods. Results are reported as cycle threshold (Cq) values generated using real-time PCR.

Data for the Potomac River Watershed Accumulated Wastewater Viewer Data for the Potomac River Watershed Accumulated Wastewater Viewer
This data release contains measured streamflow data from U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) streamgages and reported wastewater data from wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) discharge monitoring reports (DMRs) within the Potomac River watershed between October 1, 2021 and September 30, 2024. Mean monthly streamflow data was obtained from 117 USGS streamgages (Table1_Streamgages.csv). Average...
Seamless high-resolution transboundary dynamic landcover map of the Sonoran and Mojave Desert ecoregion within Bird Conservation Region 33 Seamless high-resolution transboundary dynamic landcover map of the Sonoran and Mojave Desert ecoregion within Bird Conservation Region 33
These data were compiled for the creation of a continuous, high-resolution transboundary land cover map of the Sonoran and Mojave Desert ecoregion within Bird Conservation Region 33 (BCR 33). Objective(s) of our study were to, 1) develop a machine learning algorithm trained to classify vegetation land cover using remote sensing spectral data and phenology metrics from 2013-2021, over the...

Vegetation data were collected between mid-July and early September...
Photographic sequence of brooding Burmese python (Python bivittatus) and associated temperature of record-sized nest in Big Cypress National Preserve, FL, June to August 2022 Photographic sequence of brooding Burmese python (Python bivittatus) and associated temperature of record-sized nest in Big Cypress National Preserve, FL, June to August 2022
Select photographic sequence of a Burmese Python (Python bivittatus) nesting in the wild within a concrete pipe from 01 June 2022 through 01 August 2022 in Big Cypress National Preserve within the Greater Everglades Ecosystem, Florida, USA. This python was tracked to an area of abandoned construction pipes and discovered inside to have oviposited. Throughout incubation, the python was...
