This layer represents fundamentally suitable and unsuitable habitat for freshwater mussels in the Meramec Basin as modeled by these authors on May 17, 2017 based on spatial data ranging from 1990 to 2014. Identification of habitat characteristics associated with the presence of freshwater mussels is challenging but crucial for the conservation of this declining fauna. Most mussel species...

Grasslands are an imperiled ecosystem, and grassland bird abundance is declining across North America. One of the strongest drivers for these declines is woody plant encroachment of grasslands. In the Great Plains and Sagebrush biomes of North America, spatial covariance—a remote sensing metric for tracking boundaries between vegetation types—is emerging as a new method to identify and...

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.

These are the northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis) summer month occupancy values derived from acoustic sampling and associated collection site environmental and weather covariates for the New England region, United States, 2015-2022.

This dataset contains records from bird point count and vegetation surveys conducted at 71 sites in southern Iowa in 2022 and 2023. All sites had recently implemented a management practice aimed at increasing habitat quality for northern bobwhite. We conducted surveys at 1-3 points per site and visited each point 3 times between May 15 and July 31 each year. Some sites were visited in...

We collected electrofishing, environmental DNA (eDNA), and habitat data from 2022 to 2024 in the Oregon portion of the Goose Lake Basin. Data were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and Oregon State University (OSU) to monitor native and non-native fish distributions in the Basin, and to relate observed abundances to specific habitat features. Sampling was conducted in...

These data are associated with occurrences of nine-banded armadillos across the United States. There are associated biological and environmental variables associated with some of the occurrence data. These were used for a species distribution model.

This dataset includes all research conducted on moose health in New York State from 2021 to 2024. Files include detection histories of moose and other species from camera surveys conducted in the northern Adirondack Park, transect surveys conducted for deer pellet collection and analysis of parasite infection status, and step length measurements of GPS-collared moose. Other files and...

This dataset includes information on detections of Bachman's Sparrow, Northern Bobwhite, and Red-cockaded Woodpecker at 161 locations in Georgia, USA. In addition to detections of birds and corresponding detection covariates (date, time, temperature, and observer), habitat metrics derived from satellite imagery and on-the-ground vegetation measurements are included.

We hypothesized that bighorn sheep ewes with chronic nasal Mycoplasma ovipneumoniae carriage are the source of infection that results in fatal lamb pneumonia. We tested this hypothesis in captive bighorn ewes at two study facilities over a 5-year period, by identifying carrier ewes and then comparing lamb fates in groups that did (exposed pens) or did not (non-exposed pens) include one...

Natural history museum records may provide unique information on the distribution of species additional to survey data collected by resource managers. However, there can be challenges to using museum data for analyses such as spurious geographic information, misidentifications, and incorrect labeling. Museum records have been centralized by open-source repositories with flags for...

Data are found in two separate *.csv files. File 1 contains the data and file 2, the sampling site coordinates. The data describes the results of water quality measurements in the Jim Bertram Lake System, an impounded urban stream system in Lubbock, Texas. Measurements were taken from October 2021 through October 2023.
