This software release contains the R code to jointly run an integrated population model (IPM) and Bayesian population viability analysis (BPVA) for the Cape Sable Seaside Sparrow (CSSS; Ammospiza maritima mirabilis). The CSSS is a federally endangered bird endemic to a small part of the Everglades in southern Florida, USA. The IPM-BPVA synthesizes thirty years (1992-2021) of range-wide...

The U.S. Geological Survey, Western Ecological Research Center collected sediment and accretion data at two marshes in San Francisco Bay, California over the course of 15 months, capturing a full hydrological year and two spring-summer transitions. Sediment traps were deployed monthly in triplicate along transects of increasing distance from sediment sources (i.e., channels) to capture...

International manganese samples in this collection were acquired from various countries, typically by geoscientists and university professors of the corresponding region. Manganese samples from the United States were collected in the field primarily by other USGS scientists noted in the dataset. The dataset corresponds to Hewett's physical collection of manganese-bearing samples re...

Comma-separated values (.csv) file containing data related to the 2016 International Piping Plover Breeding Census.

Intertidal microbial biofilms, or microphytobenthos, support estuarine biogeochemical cycling, the physical stability of mudflats, and food webs, particularly those of migratory shorebirds. Photosynthetic biofilms dominated by diatoms, cyanobacteria and chlorophytes represent a significant fraction of biofilm biomass and contain pigments that can be detected with remote sensing. These...

Description This data release contains a dataset of 227 postfire debris-flow volumes compiled from 34 burn areas across six states in the western United States. Specifically, it includes debris-flow volumes collected from the following fires: Arizona: 2010 Schultz, 2011 Horseshoe 2, 2011 Monument, 2011 Wallow, 2017 Frye, 2019 Museum, 2019 Woodbury, 2020 Bush, 2021 Flag, 2021 Horton, 2021

This data release is a geospatial record of flooding and debris-flow activity following the 2020 Dolan Fire along the central California coast. The postfire hydrologic responses documented here (“Inventory.csv”) are associated with a January 27, 2021, atmospheric river storm that hosted a narrow cold-frontal rain band, which produced intense rainfall over the burned area. Each entry in...

In western United States streams, Oncorhynchus virginalis stomias (Greenback Cutthroat Trout; GBCT) was thought to be extinct; however, a genetically verified population was identified and used for subsequent conservation efforts to reestablish populations. To restore native trout habitat, stream reaches upstream of a dispersal barrier are treated with a piscicide (rotenone) to remove...

This study used artificial burrowing chambers to investigate the effects of groundwater drainage rates and soil type on burrow initiation and morphology of red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii). The relationship between caloric density of crayfish and burrowing was also examined. The objectives of this study were to (1) determine the effect of ground water drainage rates on burrowing...

This dataset describes irrigation water use in Kansas in 2016. Volumes of water used, irrigated area, and irrigation application depths are provided for three sets of subareas: (1) Irrigation water use analysis regions that include Groundwater Management Districts (GMDs) with the areas outside of GMDs divided into eastern, central, and western Kansas; (2) Regional Planning Areas (RPAs)...

This data release includes data and metadata documenting 1) ambrosia beetle (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) species caught in multi-panel traps within ʻōhiʻa lehua (Metrosideros polymorpha) dominated forests in Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park as well as results from culturing Ceratocystis lukuohia or Ceratocystis huliohia, the fungi that cause rapid ʻōhiʻa death (ROD), from these traps, 2)...

The 'ōpe‘ape‘a, also known as the Hawaiian hoary bat (Lasiurus semotus; Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae), is a solitary, insectivorous, and foliage-roosting endemic species. We investigated day-roost lability and fidelity, nocturnal activity patterns at the roost, and long-term use of roosts by 'ōpe‘ape‘a. The full data release consists of six tabular datasets: (1) Island of Hawai‘i, 'ōpe...
