Data

This data release includes data collected from laboratory experiments designed to characterize the microbial processes that contribute to clogging (i.e., bioclogging) of wells used for recharge (i.e., injection) of fresh surface water into specific aquifer zones (Upper Floridan Aquifer [UFA] and Avon Park Permeable Zone [APPZ]) as part of water storage technology of aquifer storage and...

This dataset includes measurements of shell properties (e.g. density, volume, and weight) of the ostracode species Paracyprideis pseudopunctillata (subphylum Crustacea), which inhabits the continental shelves of the Arctic Ocean. Using microfocus X-ray computed tomography (microXCT) scans, we generated detailed morphometric measurements of specimens collected from both surface and down...

This data release includes microfossil data, including flora and fauna lists, as well as microfossils zonation and numeric age range, for samples collected in and around the San Andreas Fault Zone in and near Pinnacles National Park between 2010-2012.

We designed and implemented snake-resistant nestboxes and tested their efficacy as a conservation tool by comparing nest survival in nestboxes to natural nests for Aplonis opaca (Såli, Micronesian Starling) on Guam. During 2016-2018, we monitored 340 nest attempts by 40 A. opaca pairs nesting in nestboxes and 53 attempts by 32 pairs nesting in natural nests (outside of nestboxes), for a...

We compared genetic diversity and body condition indices among two source locations in Catron County, New Mexico (Whitewater Creek and Middle Fork Gila) and the recipient population (Saliz Creek) to evaluate individual- and population-level fitness responses related to the admixture of gene pools following the the translocation of Mogollon Narrow-headed Gartersnakes (Thamnophis...

This dataset provides the microsatellite genotypes for 466 flathead catfish collected in Pennslyvania rivers for an analysis of population genetic structuring of introduced popualtions. Also included is the spatial location of sample sites.

The dataset includes the coordinates, collection year, age, band number, studbook number, and 54 microsatellite genetic markers for 186 individual light-footed Ridgway's rails, Rallus obsoletus levipes.

The U.S. Geological Survey collected a grid of microtremor data points using Smartsolo 3-component seismic sensors from August 7th to August 11th, 2023. These sensors have a five Hz resonance frequency. The grid was deployed over a section of the Utsalady Point fault that runs east-west across the southern portion of the Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, Washington State. For four days...

Understanding sediment nutrient dynamics in the Milwaukee River Basin is important for assessing water quality and stream habitat. The Milwaukee River is a major tributary to Lake Michigan that provides clean drinking water for over one million people. Urban and agricultural runoff are linked to elevated loads of phosphorus, nitrogen, and sediment in the river. Excessive nutrients can...

An eDNA-based sampling approach used by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for bigheaded carp Hypophthalmichthys spp. in the upper Mississippi River and Great Lakes Basins that collects hundreds of water samples per event. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service detected a single positive sample for bighead carp _H. nobilis_ during the spring 2021 sampling event in the Kinnickinnic River...

This data release reports the mineral abundances in samples of pre-Middle Jurassic basement rocks from twenty-nine (29) boreholes in Florida and southern Alabama. Mineral abundances are quantified from whole-rock powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) data and the Rietveld method and are reported in weight percent or, where present near the detection limit (~1 wt.% depending on mineral), as...

Mineralized breccias at Hicks Dome, Illinois host abundant fluorspar, Pb-Zn sulfides, barite, rare earth elements (REE), and high field strength elements (HFSE). The REE+HFSE mineralogy of breccias between 600 and 900 meters were examined and mineral compositions were determined by electron probe microanalysis (EPMA), using a JEOL 8530F Plus field emission electron microprobe at the U.S
