Data

This dataset includes (i) camera-based detection data for nine-banded armadillos (Dasypus novemcinctus) and coyotes (Canis latrans) and (ii) covariates characterizing the environmental conditions at each of 100 sites sampled in the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge during summer 2023.

The U.S. Geological Survey’s National Water Quality Network (NWQN) is the primary source of data to monitor trends in contaminants in groundwater in the United States. However, other data sources are available to evaluate trends. The Water Quality Portal (WQP) and the National Groundwater Monitoring Network (NGWMN) portal provide data that can be used for groundwater quality trends in...

Nitrogen, phosphorus, and suspended-sediment loads, and changes in loads, in rivers across the Chesapeake Bay watershed were calculated using monitoring data from the Chesapeake Bay Nontidal Network (NTN) stations for the period 1985 through 2023. Nutrient and suspended-sediment loads and changes in loads were determined by applying a weighted regression approach called WRTDS (Weighted...

Nitrogen, phosphorus, and suspended-sediment loads, and changes in loads, in major rivers across the Chesapeake Bay watershed were calculated using monitoring data from the Chesapeake Bay River Input Monitoring (RIM) Network stations for the period 1985 through 2024. Nutrient and suspended-sediment loads and changes in loads were determined by applying a weighted regression approach...

Nocardia spp. are opportunistic pathogens of humans, domestic animals, and wildlife that can cause high levels of morbidity and mortality. Reported cases of nocardiosis in Aves are rare. We diagnosed nocardial airsacculitis in a free-ranging mallard duck (Anas platyrhynchos) from Arizona, USA. Histopathology showed multiple granulomas expanding the air sac with intralesional filamentous...

At 10:44:21 local time on December 5, 2024, a M 7.0 earthquake occurred approximately 70 km southwest of Ferndale, California, just west of the Mendocino Triple Junction. Starting the next day, the U.S. Geological Survey deployed nodal seismometers (nodes) in the Eel River Valley, near Cape Mendocino, and along the California Highway 101 corridor to compliment local permanent stations of...

This dataset documents the results of large-scale surveillance efforts to assess coronavirus prevalence in North American bats. Wildlife monitoring is critical for establishing disease baselines and identifying key factors that inform conservation strategies aimed at reducing pathogen exposure among wildlife, domestic animals, and humans. Reports of SARS-CoV-2 in free-ranging wildlife in...

This data release contains spatial and tabular products that provide a multi-scale, continuous North American Bat Monitoring Program (NABat) master sample grid surface and a suite of ecologically-relevant covariates. This continuous surface, called the "knitted grid," is a combination of 5 kilometer (km), 10km, and 50km master sample grids for the Contiguous United States (CONUS), Alaska...

The North American Bird Banding Program is administered by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Bird Banding Laboratory (BBL), Eastern Ecological Science Center at the Patuxent Research Refuge (EESC) and in Canada by the Bird Banding Office (BBO), Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC). This long-term dataset (1960-2025) consists of over 85 million bird banding, encounter and...

This dataset includes literature-derived ecological data from tidal saline wetlands across the United States, Canada, and Mexico for the following ecosystem properties: canopy height, aboveground biomass, productivity, soil carbon density, and soil carbon accumulation rates.

These data contain located day-roosts for the northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis) at the North River Game Land, North Carolina in May and June of 2019. Data contained include individual bat tracked, date day-roost was found, day-roost unique ID, geographic coordinates of day-roost, tree species of day-roost, diameter breast height (cm) of day-roost, day-roost decay-stage...
