Data

This data release includes sampling location data, field-collected water chemistry data, cation and anion concentration data for water and tissues of submerged aquatic vegetation, aquatic insect larvae, adult aquatic insects and riparian spiders from 35 first- and second-order sub-alpine streams that ranged over several orders of magnitude in metal concentrations but were similar in...

This vector line dataset represents the lower Las Vegas Wash study area. Surface-water trace was digitized onscreen from Landsat8 and ESRI World Imagery. The trace is used in an accompanying surface-water study to evaluate discharge gains and losses at selected locations in the Lower Las Vegas Wash.

This data release includes 2 child items with tracking data for Common Eiders, a sea duck species found across Alaska and the Arctic. Some populations migrate between distant breeding and wintering areas while others are essentially nonmigratory. Child Item 1: "Argos Satellite Tracking Data for Common Eiders (Somateria mollissima) - Processed Data" -- Quality-controlled data collected...

This data release includes 2 child items with tracking data for Emperor Geese, a waterfowl species endemic to the Bering Sea region that breeds primarily in western Alaska on the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta and spends the winter in southwestern Alaska and throughout the Aleutian Islands. Child Item 1: "Argos Satellite Tracking Data for Emperor Geese (Anser canagicus) - Processed Data" --...

This data release includes 1 child item with tracking data for Greater White-fronted Geese, a species that nests in coastal areas of western and northern Alaska and winters across a broad area of North America along the Pacific and Central flyways. Child Item 1: "VHF Tracking Data for Pacific Flyway Greater White-Fronted Geese (Anser albifrons), 1987-1991" -- VHF tracking data for...

This data release includes 2 child items with tracking data for Kittlitz's Murrelets, a rare seabird species that nests solitarily on the ground in barren, often alpine areas near the North Pacific and Bering Sea. Child Item 1: "Argos Satellite Tracking Data for Kittlitz's Murrelets (Brachyramphus brevirostris) - Processed Data" -- Quality-controlled data collected from Argos satellite

This data release includes 2 child items with tracking data for Spectacled Eiders, a seaduck species that breeds only in Alaska and Russia and spends the winter exclusively in the Bering Sea. The Alaska breeding population is listed as threatened under provisions of the Endangered Species Act. Child Item 1: "Argos Satellite Tracking Data for Spectacled Eiders (Somateria fischeri) -...

This data release includes 2 child items with tracking data for three large-bodied gull species and hybrids (Larus species) utilizing coastal areas of Alaska. Child Item 1: "Argos and GPS Satellite Tracking Data for Three Large-Bodied Gull Species and Hybrids (Larus spp.) - Processed Data" -- Quality-controlled data collected from Argos and Argos-linked GPS satellite transmitters.

This data release includes 2 child items with tracking data for Whimbrels, a shorebird found throughout tundra and boreal habitats of Alaska during the summer and winters along the coasts of the continental U.S., and central and South America. Child Item 1: "Argos Satellite Tracking Data for Whimbrels (Numenius phaeopus) - Processed Data" -- Quality-controlled data collected from Argos...

This data release includes 2 child items with tracking data for Whooper Swans, a Eurasian species that closely resembles Trumpeter Swanw in North America. Child Item 1: "Argos Satellite Tracking Data for Whooper Swans (Cygnus cygnus) - Processed Data" -- Quality-controlled data collected from Argos satellite transmitters. Child Item 2: "Argos Satellite Tracking Data for Whooper Swans...

Wildlife diseases pose an ever-growing threat to global biodiversity. Understanding how wildlife pathogens are distributed in the environment and the ability of pathogens to form environmental reservoirs is critical to understanding and predicting disease dynamics within host populations. Snake fungal disease (SFD) is an emerging conservation threat to North American snake populations...

These data were compiled in support of the 'Predicting the next high-impact insect invasion: Elucidating traits and factors determining the risk of introduced herbivorous insects on North American native plants' project, supported by the U.S. Geological Survey John Wesley Powell Center for Analysis and Synthesis. The project working group compiled data for non-native insects herbivorous...
