Movement Metrics of Adult Female Grizzly Bears and Polar Bears Used to Identify Cub Presence with Machine Learning Movement Metrics of Adult Female Grizzly Bears and Polar Bears Used to Identify Cub Presence with Machine Learning
These data represent movement metrics of adult female grizzly bears and polar bears with and without cubs-of-the-year at seven temporal scales after den departure. Grizzly bear data were collected in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem during 2000–2021 and in the Northern Continental Divide Ecosystem during 2003–2022. Polar bear data were collected in the Southern Beaufort Sea during 1986...
Southern Beaufort Sea Polar Bear Mark Recapture Data, 2000-2023 Southern Beaufort Sea Polar Bear Mark Recapture Data, 2000-2023
This dataset is one table with data collected and derived from polar bears sampled in Alaska from the Southern Beaufort Sea subpopulation during 2000-2023. Collected data includes individual identity, location of observation, observation type, estimated birth year, and demographic information. Data were collected from polar bears that were captured, remotely sampled using biopsy darts...

Sediment and fish data to develop severity of ill effect dose-response models Sediment and fish data to develop severity of ill effect dose-response models
We synthesized existing literature to develop this dataset which relates suspended sediment concentration and exposure duration to biological effects on fishes. Our dataset contains a total of 3,610 dose-response data triplicates consisting of (a) suspended sediment concentration, (b) duration of exposure, and (c) fish severity of ill effects (SEV). There is no original data in the...
