Data

This study generated genetic polymorphism data at a genome scale by whole-genome shotgun DNA sequencing of Mariana Crow (Corvus Kubaryi). DNA was extracted from blood tissue originally collected nonlethally from field monitoring efforts, captive rearing, and carcasses, under permit of the US Fish and Wildlife Service. Sequencing libraries were generated for the Illumina sequencing...

The U.S. Geological Survey gathered historic aerial photography and remote sensing imagery from a variety of sources for mapping channel change along a 22.5-kilometer reach of the Green River at Gray Canyon near Green River, Utah. Imagery was downloaded in .TIF format and Structure-from-Motion (SfM) photogrammetry techniques were applied (Over et al. 2021) using Agisoft Metashape...

This data release is comprised of two datasets; 1) a .tif file containing species distribution model (SDM) outputs for three invasive tegu species (Salvator merianae, S. rufescens, Tupinambis teguixin) across the contiguous United States (CONUS) for three climate scenarios (current, +2 degree C warming and +4 degree C warming). We are providing a stacked raster (9 layers total), with a...

The data set consists of three files pertaining to invasive Brown Treesnakes (Boiga irregularis) and temporally-associated weather covariates on Guam: 1) snout-vent length (SVL) and sex of brown treesnakes (bts_growth.csv), 2) precipitation (bts_rain.csv), and 3) seasonality (bts_season.csv). Snout-vent lengths in millimeters (mm) and sex of 270 individually marked and recaptured brown...

Morphometric data (mass, length, circumference, age) collected during an observation of a radio-telemetered female Burmese python (Python bivitattus) that ingested an adult female white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), retained the deer within the digestive tract for 10 days, and then vomited the deer coinciding with a drop in air temperature.

The Wallula fault zone is an integral feature of the Olympic-Wallowa lineament, an ∼500-km-long topographic lineament oblique to the Cascadia plate boundary, extending from Vancouver Island, British Columbia, to Walla Walla, Washington. The structure and past earthquake activity of the Wallula fault zone are important because of nearby infrastructure, and also because the fault zone...

This dataset includes three datasets collected in 2021 and 2022 to assess the potential effects of bison (Bison bison) herbivory and climate on grassland functional properties throughout semi-arid meadows in Grand Canyon National Park and Kaibab National Forest of northern Arizona. Bison herbivory offtake (utilization) and aboveground herbaceous production are demonstrated in the...

This dataset includes locations of burros between 2016 and 2020 from two study areas where burros were located every 2 hours continuously using GPS telemetry collars for Lotek collars, and every 13 hours continuously for Vectronic Aerospace collars. Location data are from adult female burros, not males. Study areas are the Lake Pleasant Herd Management Area in Arizona, USA and the Sinbad...

This dataset includes a number of datasets collected to assess the potential effects of GPS telemetry collars on free-roaming feral equid species in North America: horses and burros. The behavior dataset (Behavioral_data_collared_uncollared.csv) includes frequency of maintenance behaviors of collared and un-collared horses at Conger Herd Management Area (HMA), and burros at Lake Pleasant...

This dataset consists of 1,353 ground observer investigations of mountain lion predation events ("kills") in eastern Nevada, USA, from 2018 to 2022. Over the period of the data collection, we had 29 mountain lions equipped with telemetry collars and we investigated clusters of locations when GPS collar locations were in the same area for three nights -- we used this criteria to identify...

We investigated the behavior of feral horses (Equus caballus) at Conger Herd Management Area (HMA), UT, and of burros (Equus asinus) at Lake Pleasant HMA, AZ, and Sinbad HMA, UT between 2016 and 2020 (Sinbad HMA 2016 to 2019; Conger and Lake Pleasant HMAs 2017 to 2020). We collected data on the time budget and social behavior of adults (2 years old and older) between April and September...

Variability in river discharge, particularly very high flow and low flow conditions, has far-reaching environmental and economic consequences. The retention of water in surface storage, concentrated in lakes, ponds, wetlands, floodplains, and temporary water in flood prone areas, can potentially contribute to flow generation and flood regulation. However, the impact of surface water...
