Upland Accessibility by Breeding Duck Pairs in the Prairie Pothole Joint Venture Area

Duck pair density information was predicted from models developed with breeding mallard, northern pintail, blue-winged teal, gadwall, and northern shoveler pair data colleded by the US Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) National Wildlife Refuge System Four Square Mile Breeding Waterfowl Survey. Models of the relationship between duck breeding pairs and wetland characteristics and dynamics were developed by the FWS's Habitat and Population Evaluation Teams in Regions 3 and 6, and US Geological Survey Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center and applied to wetlands mapped by the FWS National Wetlands lnventorv. GIS modeling techniques were used to apply an accessibility model based on the distance breeding hens will often travel from breeding territories to chosen nest sites (i.e. travel distance). The information presented represents the density of hens that have access to approximately 40 acre landscape units using a travel distance of 2 miles.

U.S. Atlantic Salmon Assessment Committee Database

The U.S. Atlantic Salmon Assessment Committee (USASAC) coordinates the annual assessment of Atlantic salmon in New England rivers and reports to the North Atlantic Salmon Commission (NASCO) on the status of the species.  As part of the USASAC, Northeast Fishery Center staff manage the database for which the annual report to NASCO is based.  These data include historic salmon rivers, number of returning adult salmon, estimates of escapement, numbers of salmon stocked, egg production, and marking/tagging of salmon.  The USASAC database takes raw data, runs them through a series of many queries, formats query results, and displays them in several report tables which are included as appendices to the annual USASAC report to NASCO.

USFWS Juvenile White Sturgeon Monitoring, San Joaquin River

The Central Valley Project Improvement Act (CVPIA) funds habitat improvement work and associated monitoring in the Central Valley of California to increase salmonid populations in furtherance of meeting CVPIA fish doubling goals. This data package contains three datasets for juvenile White Sturgeon (Acipenser transmontanus) monitoring in the San Joaquin River (SJR) conducted by the US Fish and Wildlife Service, Lodi Fish and Wildlife Office. After two years of this experimental sampling program, it was discontinued due to low catches of White Sturgeon.


SJR_Juvenile_WST_Set Data

This dataset contains data on an experimental sampling program using trammel nets and setlines to catch juvenile White Sturgeon in the San Joaquin River. Sets were made at targeted locations from November-January in 2016 and 2017. One White Sturgeon (1000 mm fork length) was captured in a trammel net in 2016.


SJR_Juvenile_WST_Catch Data

This dataset contains data for individual fish caught in trammel nets or setlines in the San Joaquin River. Species and fork length were recorded for all fish. For White Sturgeon, girth, maturation, and tag information are provided.


SJR_Fish_Taxonomy Data

This dataset contains data for fish codes used in the Catch datafile. For each species that was captured, the Species codes are listed with the corresponding Interagency Ecological Program code, common name, taxonomy (Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, and Species), and whether or not the species is native to the region.

Siletz Estuary Plant Community Mapping - Tabular Data, 2001

Tabular dataset for Siletz Estuary Plant Community Mapping survey, 2001.

This study mapped twelve wetland plant communities (or “alliances”) and 59 subcommunities (or “community elements”) in 252 ha (623 A) of tidal and formerly tidal wetlands within the Siletz estuary. The target shapefile polygon size for the GIS mapping project was 0.8 to 2 ha (1 to 5 A). Within the study area, plant communities (as generally defined by estuarine ecologists) tended to occupy larger areas (over 2 ha). Therefore, each polygon was assigned both to a plant community, and to a smaller, more closely defined "subcommunity" that was characterized by a particular group of dominant plant species. The average size of a polygon (subcommunity) on the final map was about 1.5 ha (3.7 A), but about a third of the polygons were under 0.8 ha (2 A) in size.

DWH NRDA Background Deposition of Bird Carcasses on Walkable Beaches and in Marshes

This dataset contains the data collected during Deepwater Horizon Bird Study #24 (Background Carcass Deposition). Field surveys associated with BS #24 occurred during the summer of 2015. Data collection efforts were led by Industrial Economics, Incorporated, on behalf of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. While surveys were planned for June through October in nearshore areas across the northern Gulf of Mexico from northeast Texas to northwest Florida, data were ultimately only collected in June and July in Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida. During field surveys, study personnel walked, or boated along, pre-defined segments of beach or marsh and noted each time a bird carcass was encountered. The goal of these efforts was to collect data that would facilitate the development of an estimate of the background avian mortality rate in the northern Gulf of Mexico. Photographs and GPS data were also collected during field surveys.

DWH NRDA Breeding Shorebirds 2010

Deepwater Horizon beach-nesting breeding shorebird surveys and habitat assessments were completed in 2010 and 2011 by Coastal Bird Conservation/Conservian, under contract to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, across the Gulf of Mexico coast. Two sets of Coastal Bird Conservation/Conservian efforts were conducted in 2010: (i) a statewide survey sponsored before the Deepwater Horizon oil spill occurred by entities not involved in the NRDA, and (ii) NRDA-sponsored surveys in many of the same areas surveyed by the earlier effort. Thus, in 2010, surveys were completed both before and after oil from the Deepwater Horizon event reached the coast. Surveyors documented the estimated number of solitary beach-nesting, active breeding adults, focusing on American Oystercatcher (Haematopus palliates), Snowy Plover (Charadrius alexandrinus), and Wilson’s Plover (Charadrius wilsonia), documented oil spill-related impacts to shorebirds and habitats, and collected GPS coordinates and photographs. Additionally, any bird color band combinations observed on banded focal species were to be recorded. This dataset contains the 2010 data that CBC collected while under contract to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Additional details on the 2010 surveys and results are provided in the End of Study Report (2010 Solitary Beach-nesting Bird Populations of the Northern Gulf and Data Analysis for Estimating Oiling Rates: Pre and Post Oil Landfall Breeding Surveys and Initial Recorded Impacts of the British Petroleum Deepwater Horizon (MCS 252) Oil Spill (Bird Study #8)).

Temperature as a driver of aquatic insect species distributions- Great Smoky Mountains National Park Data

Summary of proposed field methods and activities:
We propose to sample aquatic insects from streams in various locations within the GSMNP. Sampling will occur with a D-frame kick net. Samples are sorted in the field such that we only collect taxa that we will be working with in laboratory experiments. We anticipate collecting 30-50 individuals per species in a given sampling trip, with 1-4 species collected in each sampling trip. We anticipate conducting 8-10 such trips per year for the duration of the project. Sampling efforts in the park with be distributed among several sites.

Myriapod collections for a revision of the millipede genera Pseudopolydesmus and Nannaria- Great Smoky Mountains National Park Data

Summary of proposed field methods and activities:
Sampling Myriapods is a low-impact process. Collecting is done by turning over leaf piles with a millipede rake (see Means et al. 2015) to expose specimens at the soil-leaf interface. Rocks and logs are also rolled over to search for specimens. Leaf litter samples are sometimes taken and processed with a Berlese funnel to extract small-bodied individuals. After an area has been searched, logs and rocks are turned back over and leaves spread out to return the area to its pre-disturbed state.

Numbers of Myriapods collected will range from 10-30 specimens, depending on quality of the habitat and success of the search. Both millipedes (Diplopoda) and centipedes (Chilopoda) will be collected, to contribute to related research on species groups by the Marek Lab. In the case of leaf litter samples, other incidental leaf litter arthropods including insects and spiders are collected as well, but not in numbers large enough to cause strains on the local populations.
