Data

This dataset contains records from bird point count and vegetation surveys conducted at 55 sites in 2007-2009 and 52 sites in 2022-2023. Sites were enrolled in wetland easement programs (e.g., Wetlands Reserve Program). There were 7-10 points per property. Bird surveys were conducted between May 15 and July 31 each year. Vegetation data were collected between mid-July and early September...

This data set contains harvest regulations and annual harvest for antlerless white-tailed deer in 8 Midwestern US states. The data includes harvest regulations for each unit and year as well as the annual harvest for antlerless white-tailed deer by firearm or during a modern firearm season depending on individual state record keeping. Spatial change of support has been applied to unify...

We used data from 2.5 years of A. canadensis observations in the San Luis Valley to examine their foraging patterns during spring and autumn migration. We counted cranes weekly or bi-weekly each season and year during roadside surveys. We determined crop type (alfalfa, barley, pasture, potatoes, other grain, and other) during roadside surveys. We also recorded tillage intensity for grain...

Rapid heating events, such as heatwaves, are becoming more frequent and intense as a result of climate change. Importantly, such extreme weather events can be more important drivers of extirpation and selection than changes in annual or seasonal averages and they pose a particularly large threat to poikilothermic organisms. In this study, we evaluate the thermal stress response of a...

DeepFaune New England (DFNE) is a model for species classification in trail camera imagery. This model is a re-trained version of the DeepFaune model for classifying European species in trial cameras, fine-tuned to classify taxa from northeastern North America. The DFNE model takes as input cropped images of each animal, which can be generated by an object detection model. DFNE...

Stream Temperature, Intermittency, and Conductivity (STIC) loggers were deployed in tributaries of the Colorado River, TX to monitor for water presence. These loggers were deployed in a riffle and pool mesohabitat at 19 sites and recorded a measurement every six hours from June 2022 to March 2024. The loggers record temperature and relative conductivity. We calculated drying metrics...

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...
