Data

We conducted ground-based surveys at 589 randomly selected 16-ha plots on the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta, Alaska during 2015-2016. The plots were selected using a stratified random sampling plan in an area of 35,769 square km divided into 8 physiographic strata. The population totals from the stratified random design estimators were adjusted using detection ratios derived with a double...

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) works closely with the Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT) to provide information to be used by the MDOT for design of highway-drainage structures. MDOT spends millions of dollars annually for highway construction. Streamflow records, hydrologic analyses of basins, and hydraulic analyses of flooding potential at proposed highway crossings...

These data have been collected by the United States Geological Survey’s Northeast Amphibian Research and Monitoring Initiative (USGS NEARMI) scientists. We collected these data to examine if Bsal was introduced to a site where there was a known pet release in Western, Massachusetts.

These data were collected using distance sampling methods (point counts) and visual assessment of land cover and habitat along pre-determined driving routes in Texas during April and May 2016.

The dataset includes capture and individual data for silver carp and buffalo from 2022 and 2023. Fish were captured in the Missouri River and tributaries and transported to the Columbia Environmental Research Center, Columbia, MO, USA. Fish were assigned to one of four treatments to examine different sedation techniques for surgical implantation of artificial transmitters: tricaine

The majority of landbirds breeding in eastern North America migrate through the Gulf of America (Gulf of Mexico; hereafter Gulf) region during spring and fall. Rarely do migratory landbirds make nonstop flights between breeding and non-breeding areas, rather they stopover in habitats (a.k.a. stopover sites) en route to rest and refuel. Forested habitats in the northern Gulf region...

USGS personnel surveyed bumble bees and flowering plants on private and public lands in Central Montana during the spring and summer of 2023 and 2024. These data provide a summary of what was found, including the number of bumble bees caught during standardized netting surveys and a comprehensive list of all plants in flower within survey plots during each site visit. First release: 2023...

These data consist of the behavioral responses of Pacific and Yellow-billed Loons to helicopter overflights and ground-based human activity in disturbed vs. undisturbed areas, as well as nest success in the summers of 2016 and 2017 at two field camps in the Fish Creek watershed, NPR-A.

Agricultural land use estimates are vital to understanding agricultural production, economic contributions, and water demands. A method to estimate spatially and temporally distributed agricultural land use was developed for California. Pesticide application records were processed to develop annual statewide estimates of agricultural land use at approximately 1-square mile resolution...

In 2023, critically endangered California condors experienced an outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI). We evaluated safety, immunogenicity, vaccination strategies, and correlates of antibody response of a conditionally licensed influenza vaccine for poultry in black vultures and then California condors. These data represent the correlates of antibody response, including

These data provide information about a variety of resources related to reforestation in California. Included resources may be decision-support tools, factsheets and briefs, frameworks and manuals, peer-reviewed publications, or programs supporting reforestation work. Information compiled for each resource includes organization or author of the resource, year published, a brief...

The Louisiana State Legislature created the Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection and Restoration Act (CWPPRA) in order to conserve, restore, create and enhance Louisiana's coastal wetlands. The wetland restoration plans developed pursuant to these acts specifically require an evaluation of the effectiveness of each coastal wetlands restoration project in achieving long-term solutions to...
