This repository centralizes R code used to examine how the influence of fine-scale habitat characteristics on Greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) nest site selection and nest survival varies by mesic and xeric site conditions, utilizing data collected from a wide range of study sites in Nevada and California, USA. The R script "nest_selection_model.R" provides code for a GLMM framewor

The PMAP tool is a one-dimensional plume model that predicts ash aggregation within an erupting volcanic plume. The tool was developed by D. W. Hoffman at Stanford, extending from the Plumeria model written by L. G. Mastin at USGS CVO. The code operates using Matlab. The purpose of this repository is to present the code used in the following publication, currently under review at Journal of Geop

This software involves R scripts to download and process large-scale spatial data defined by an extent input by the user. The code then resamples data to the desired resolution, downloads metadata from a public website on West Nile virus prevalence in mosquito pools, then extracts spatial layer data as covariates for each record. Also, this software involves R script to fit models of abundance of

This product contains code to analyze a dataset that was collected to compare a LAMP assay and a qPCR assay for Grass Carp in a pond study. This repository contains the RMarkdown and R files used to analyze the data. It was created to allow for reproducible results. The code assumes the user is experience with R, especially the Tidyverse, and Stan.

The R package inlcolor provides access to a variety color schemes. Used to support packages and scripts written by researchers at the United States Geological Survey (USGS) Idaho National Laboratory Project Office (INLPO). Key features of this package are (1) a simple and consistent API, (2) support for qualitative, diverging, and sequential color schemes, (3) support for combining color pallets u

PopEquus is a website application that can be used to understand trade-offs and inform decisions in free-roaming horse (Equus caballus) population management. The application (https://rconnect.usgs.gov/popequus/) contains a predictive population modeling tool that can be used to simulate how different management actions drive changes in horse population size, while measuring management costs and o

rsgis: A package to facilitate greater sage-grouse management in the western US The rsgis package centralizes several publicly available geospatial datasets that are essential to mapping and modeling for Greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) management applications, including important habitat and breeding areas for sage-grouse and political/regional boundaries. To cite the package, plea

raventools: A package to facilitate raven management in the western U.S. The raventools package centralizes several publicly available geospatial datasets that are essential to mapping and modeling for common raven (Corvus corax) management applications, including raven occurrence and density data, sensitive species distribution data, raven subsidy data, and Greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus uroph

The purpose of this study was to evaluate how extreme variation in precipitation in the Sierra Nevada of California, USA, in the early 21st Century affected adult occupancy and the probability of reproduction of amphibians. The study used a 15-year data set to relate site characteristics to initial probability of occurrence of adults, and additional site-specific and dynamic (e.g., weather) variab

The purpose of this study was to estimate the survival of giant gartersnakes (Thamnophis gigas) prior to and following translocation, as well as to evaluate the use of captive rearing as a conservation tool for giant gartersnakes. We used Kaplan-Meier and Cox Proportional Hazards models to estimate survival rates and estimate the effects of group identity (marsh donor, rice donor, and translocatio
