Protein and Fat Consumption of Zoo Polar Bears in 14-day Ad Libitum Trials, 2019-2020

This is a single table containing measures of the amount of fat and meat consumed by 4 adult female and 5 adult male polar bears in U.S. zoos when provided both food sources ad libitum for 12-14 days. Trial length was intended to be 14 days, but trial dietary items ran out for two bears prior to the end of the trial (i.e., at 12 and 13 days instead of 14 days). The data set includes the weight of each bear at the beginning and end of the trial and the dry matter, protein, lipid, and energy content of the meat provided in the trials. Fat was considered to be 100% dry matter and 100% lipid.

Winter Ranges of Mule Deer in the San Francisco Peaks Herd in Arizona

In 2008, 13 mule deer were GPS collared near the South Rim of the Grand Canyon to understand the impact of Arizona’s State Route 64 on mule deer movement. Unexpectedly, 4 individuals migrated over 50 miles to summer range near the San Francisco Peaks, north of Flagstaff, containing alpine, subalpine, and ponderosa pine habitats. The GPS collars dropped in 2009, but questions surrounding this long-distance migration remained. In June of 2019, the Arizona Game and Fish Department GPS collared 20 mule deer from the San Francisco Peaks herd on their summer range in Game Management Unit 7E/7W, where an estimated 5,300 mule deer reside. The primary challenges to mule deer in this migration corridor are related to navigating highways. These deer must traverse two major highways, State Route 180 and State Route 64, which experience high traffic volumes from tourists visiting the Grand Canyon.
These data provide the location of winter ranges for Mule Deer (Odocoileus hemionus) from the San Francisco Peaks Herd in Arizona. They were developed from Brownian bridge movement models using 8 winter sequences collected from a sample size of 7 mule deer comprising GPS locations collected every 2 hours.

Data for use in poscrptR post-fire conifer regeneration prediction model

These data support poscrptR (wright et al. 2021). poscrptR is a shiny app that predicts the probability of post-fire conifer regeneration for fire data supplied by the user. The predictive model was fit using presence/absence data collected in 4.4m radius plots (60 square meters). Please refer to Stewart et al. (2020) for more details concerning field data collection, the model fitting process, and limitations. Learn more about shiny apps at https://shiny.rstudio.com. The app is designed to simplify the process of predicting post-fire conifer regeneration under different precipitation and seed production scenarios. The app requires the user to upload two input data sets: 1. a raster of Relativized differenced Normalized Burn Ratio (RdNBR), and 2. a .zip folder containing a fire perimeter shapefile. The app was designed to use Rapid Assessment of Vegetative Condition (RAVG) data inputs. The RAVG website (https://fsapps.nwcg.gov/ravg) has both RdNBR and fire perimeter data sets available for all fires with at least 1,000 acres of National Forest land from 2007 to the present. The fire perimeter must be a zipped shapefile (.zip file, include all shapefile components: .cpg, .dbf, .prj, .sbn, .sbx, .shp, and .shx).  RdNBR must be 30m resolution, and both the RdNBR and fire perimeter must use the USA Contiguous Albers Equal Area Conic coordinate reference system (USGS version). RDNBR must be alligned (same origin) as RAVG raster data.

Hawaiian Islands climate compatibility of Coconut Rhinoceros Beetle (CRB, Oryctes rhinoceros) based on global and local species occurrences 2022

The arrival of the coconut rhinoceros beetle (CRB, Oryctes rhinoceros) in Hawaii poses serious threats to endemic palm species, crop species and iconic palm trees across the archipelago. As this invasive is found on the island of Oahu primarily at lower elevations, there are concerns about the species spreading towards high value native habitats at higher elevations and/or to other islands across the state. This dataset simply describes the suitability of the Hawaiian landscape to CRB spread based on climatic conditions (using mean annual temperature and precipitation) of global and local species occurrences. This CRB habitat suitability was calculated using a simple bioclim approach where suitability values reflect the proximity of a given location on a map to the median climatic condition across the occurrences considered. This approach was applied to different subsets of the available CRB occurrence data including: 1) all available global data (excluding Hawaii); 2) only occurrences within CRB's native range; 3) only occurrences in the species non-native range (excluding Hawaii); 4) only occurrences in the species insular non-native range (excluding Hawaii).; and 5) only occurrences collected in Hawaii by the CRB response team. The main model outputs of this data release can be visualized at https://rconnect.usgs.gov/CRB_habitat_suitability

Delta Wide Crevasses (MR-09): 2001, 2002, 2007, 2012, and 2016 land water classifications

The Louisiana State Legislature created Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection and Restoration Act (CWPPRA) in order to conserve, restore, create and enhance Louisiana's coastal wetlands. The wetland restoration plans developed pursuant to these acts specifically require an evaluation of the effectiveness of each coastal wetlands restoration project in achieving long-term solutions to arresting coastal wetlands loss. This data set includes mosaicked aerial photographs for the Delta Wide Crevasses (MR-09) project for 2001, 2002, 2007, 2012, and 2016. This data is used as a basemap land-water classification. It also serves as a visual tool for project managers to help them identify any obvious problems or land loss within their project boundary. To better evaluate the effectiveness of restoration efforts, a land-water classification is performed on specific CWPPRA sites to help assess landscape changes.

Geospatial datasets and hydraulic models for the Grand River, Red Cedar River and Sycamore Creek near Lansing, Michigan

Hydrologic and hydraulic analyses were done for selected reaches of the Grand River, Red Cedar River and Sycamore Creek near Lansing, Michigan. To update and expand a portion of the Federal Emergency Management Agency detailed Flood Insurance Study, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the City of Lansing initiated a cooperative study. The study comprised a 3.2-mile reach of the Grand River, a 30.2-mile reach of the Red Cedar River, and a 12.0-mile reach of Sycamore Creek.
Historical streamflow data from multiple streamgages, Grand River at Lansing, MI. (USGS station number 04113000), Red Cedar River at East Lansing, MI. (USGS station number 04112500), Red Cedar River near Williamston, MI. (USGS station number 04111379), and Sycamore Creek at Holt Road near Holt, MI. (USGS station number 04112850) along with regional regression equations were used to estimate instantaneous peak streamflows for floods with 10-, 4-, 2-, 1-, 0.2-percent, and 1-percent plus annual exceedance probabilities. The 1-percent plus flood elevation is defined by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as a flood elevation derived by using streamflows that include the average predictive error for the regression equation streamflow calculation for the Flood Risk project. This error is then added to the 1-percent annual exceedance probability flood streamflow to calculate the 1-percent plus streamflow. 
The annual exceedance probability streamflows were then used in a Hydrologic Engineering Center-River Analysis System step-backwater model to determine water-surface elevation profiles and flood-inundation boundaries for the 10-, 4-, 2-, 1-, 0.2-percent, and 1-percent plus annual exceedance probability floods, and a regulatory floodway, along a selected reach of each stream. Each hydraulic model was calibrated to the current stage-streamflow relations at each streamgage. Flood-inundation boundaries for the 1- and 0.2-percent annual exceedance probability floods and a regulatory floodway were mapped for each stream.

Topographic reference points in Nevada for the regional ground-water potential map by Bedinger and Harrill (2004), Death Valley regional ground-water flow system, Nevada and California

This digital data set is a compilation of reference points representing surface-water features, ground-water levels, 
and topographic settings in Nevada that were used for the regional ground-water potential map by Bedinger and 
Harrill (2004).  The regional ground-water-potential map was developed to assess potential interbasin flow in the 
Death Valley regional ground-water flow system (DVRFS), a 100,000-square-kilometer region of southern Nevada 
and California. To obtain an adequate network of control points, Bedinger and Harrill (2004) also used regional 
potential altitudes derived from springs and deep well data. A set of general guidelines was developed to relate 
regional ground-water potential to these more readily observed surface and near-surface ground-water levels 
and to hydrologic characteristics of ground-water basins in the DVRFS (see "Larger Work Citation", Appendix 1).
