Data

Nutrient and soil runoff from agricultural fields in the Upper East River basin contribute to eutrophication in downstream waters like Lake Michigan. Phosphorus is often the limiting nutrient in freshwater ecosystems and the binding of dissolved phosphorus to suspended sediment can reduce its bioavailability. These data provide information about what size particles are binding phosphorus...

Modifications were made to existing great lakes topobathy data sets to interpolate areas of missing near shore elevation data. Areas with missing elevation data were not interpolated where there was low confidence in the underlying depth. This included rivers, canals, harbors, lakes, reservoirs, etc. Areas important for targeting Phragmites australis management often lie within these...

This dataset is the result of coordinated efforts to compile data associated with stocking events for whitefishes and ciscoes (members of the Coregoninae subfamily) of Great Lakes origin. The dataset includes more than 4,700 records associated with coregonine stocking, from over 150 information sources, spanning the years 1870 - 2022. The compiled information includes species, quantities...

Burmese pythons are an invasive species in the Greater Everglades Ecosystem. Burmese pythons captured in the ecosystem are euthanized, and in an effort to learn about this invasive species, all euthanized pythons are necropsied, during which time samples are collected. We analyzed the stable isotope ratios of carbon and nitrogen in muscle samples from 423 Burmese pythons euthanized and...

A suite of tables filled with greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus; hereafter sage-grouse) survival data and environmental covariate values, extracted to sage-grouse nest, brood, and general locations, as well as lek locations. We quantified 8 indicators of temperature and/or moisture conditions across time spans representing lags of 0-1.5 years, while accounting for other...

Greater White-fronted Geese Anser albifrons breed in Arctic habitats in North America and winter in the California Central Valley, Mexico and southern United States. Louisiana historically provided winter habitat to a large portion of the Greater White-fronted Goose population in North America. We used global positioning system (GPS) neck collars to monitor 78 Greater White-fronted Geese...

This GIS shapefile, "density_contours," describes 1) a bison study area at Badlands National Park, South Dakota, and 2) 25%, 50%, 75%, and 99% kernel density contours for locations of bison marked with GPS collars during 2015-2024. Percentages associated with contours describe nominal coverage, i.e., proportions of observations they are expected to encompass, and approximate the...

This GIS shapefile, "density_contours," describes 1) a bison study area at Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve, Kansas, and 2) 25%, 50%, 75%, and 99% kernel density contours for locations of bison marked with GPS collars during 2021-2023. Percentages associated with contours describe nominal coverage, i.e., proportions of observations they are expected to encompass, and approximate the

This GIS shapefile, "density_contours," describes 1) a bison study area at Wind Cave National Park, South Dakota, and 2) 25%, 50%, 75%, and 99% kernel density contours for locations of bison marked with GPS collars during 2019-2024. Percentages associated with contours describe nominal coverage, i.e., proportions of observations they are expected to encompass, and approximate the...

This GIS shapefile, "density_contours," describes 1) a bison study area in the North Unit of Theodore Roosevelt National Park, North Dakota and 2) 25%, 50%, 75%, and 99% kernel density contours for locations of bison marked with GPS collars during 2017-2020. Percentages associated with contours describe nominal coverage, i.e., proportions of observations they are expected to encompass...

This data release describes data that were contributed to the GasHype project, a global data compilation effort. Goals of the GasHype project include assessing concentrations of carbon dioxide and methane in the hypolimnion of lakes, reservoirs, and ponds, and identifying important drivers of these concentrations. Data contributed by the U.S. Geological Survey, Northern Prairie Wildlife...
