Data Release for Distribution of Niclosamide Following Granular Bayluscide Applications in Lotic Systems

The granular formulation of Bayluscide [Bayluscide 3.2% Granular Sea Lamprey Larvicide, granular Bayluscide (gB)] is applied in lentic and lotic systems to survey (assessment) and kill (treatment) larval sea lampreys (Petromyzon marinus) in the Great Lakes basin. Granules are spread on the water surface, settle to the sediment surface, and dissolve. The potential risk of niclosamide exposure [5 Chloro-N-(2-chloro-4-nitrophenyl)-2-hydroxybenzamide], the active ingredient of gB, to non-target organisms located downstream of survey plots, is a concern of partner agencies (State-level Natural Resource Departments, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Ecological Service, Fisheries and Oceans Canada Species at Risk Branch). Temporal and spatial distribution of niclosamide in the water column and sediment was evaluated in and downstream of five larval survey plots in two rivers following the application of gB. Water samples were collected at 0.25, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 24 h from 3 depths in the water column (10 cm above the sediment, ½ water column depth, water surface) at three locations inside each survey plot, and 1 meter upstream from three sediment sample grids positioned 10, 30 and 100 m downstream. Sediment samples were collected from inside the grids at 0.25, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 24 h, and from inside the survey plots, 8 and 24 h after gB application. Niclosamide was detected in the sediment and water at all sample locations. From 2 to 24 h after application, average water concentrations 1) varied between study sites, 2) decreased from the survey plots to 100 m downstream, 3) varied by depth in the water column, and 4) decreased over time. Average sediment concentrations varied with distance downstream and time post application, but not by study site or river. Data suggests there would be negligible risk to non-target organisms downstream of a gB survey plot based on low niclosamide concentrations measured in the water and sediment. The depletion rate of niclosamide was also evaluated in St. Clair River sediment dosed at the field application rate. Niclosamide concentration decreased at a rate of 2.28% per hour over the 24 hours measured, equating to a half-life of 1.27 days. This indicates the length of time an organism in the sediment in a survey plot might be exposed.

Model performance and output variables for phenological events across land cover types in the Northwestern Plains, 1989-2014

Many aspects of recurring plant developmental events – vegetation phenology – are measured by remote sensing. By consistently measuring the timing and magnitude of the growing season, it is possible to study the complex relationships among drivers of the seasonal cycle of vegetation, including legacy conditions. We studied the role of current and legacy climate, and contextual factors on the land surface phenology of the U.S. Northern Great Plains. Specifically, we used annual and seasonal climate variables (e.g., temperature, precipitation, growing degree days, and vapor pressure deficit) covering the current year and the past four years derived from the PRISM climate dataset. We also included soils, disturbance, and within pixel land cover heterogeneity as additional independent variables that may also influence phenology. We assessed three phenological measures from the AVHRR satellite sensor (utilizing the years from 1989 to 2014), start of season, peak productivity, and season-long productivity, using variable selection techniques utilizing nested random forest models (VSURF). We identified the top variables for the phenological measures for pixels with predominantly grassland, shrubland, and evergreen forest land cover classes. Datasets in this release include tables from the associated manuscript and supplementary information found in the Larger Works Cited section. Specifically, included tables cover the modeling parameters, final factors derived from the random forest variable selection process, and model performance measures.

Data used to parameterize and evaluate a bioenergetics model for Redside Shiner (Richardsonius balteatus)

This release includes data used to fit mass- and temperature-dependent functions for consumption and respiration of redside shiner (Richardsonius balteatus) based on controlled laboratory experiments of maximum consumption (Cmax) rates and routine metabolic rates using intermittent-flow respirometry, across a range of fish sizes (0.6–27.3 g) and temperatures (5–31° C). Long term growth experiments were conducted to evaluate performance of the resulting bioenergetics model. Initial bioenergetic simulations of long-term growth experiments indicated large model error for predicted consumption and growth, and a growth rate error (GRE) correction  was developed as a function of daily consumption rate (J·g-1·d-1) and water temperature, and included in the model framework on a daily timestep. Daily and summary data is included for all simulations with and without the error correction function. The R code used for these simulations (modified from Fish Bioenergetics 4.0, Deslauriers et al. 2017) is also included (in the attached FB4.zip) for reference. Read the associated publication for important details regarding the data collection and processing methods.

Compilation of State-Level Freshwater Harmful Algal Bloom Recreational and Drinking Water Guidelines for the Conterminous United States as of 2022

This data release contains a national compilation of state-level qualitative and quantitative guidance for a variety of environmental indicators that are used to identify the presence of a harmful algal bloom (HAB) in freshwater ecosystems. These include qualitative guidelines based on visual or olfactory signals, as well as quantitative guidelines based on cyanotoxin concentrations, algal biomass density, and chlorophyll a concentrations. Many states in the United States have adopted guidelines based on recommendations from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency or the World Health Organization. However, a few states have also developed their own guidelines. We are specifically focused on fresh, inland waters and we compiled guidance related to recreational and drinking water use. This data release provides guidance that is publicly available via state webpages. Additionally, states may have internal guidance and/or guidance may be available at the county or local level. This data release provides national-scale information about the indicators and associated thresholds that water resource managers use to protect humans from the potential negative effects of HABs. Note, state guidelines were queried during the summer of 2022. The attached zipped folder, State_webpages.zip, contains html and pdf files of the state webpages and posted documents used to compile the information in this data release.

MT across the Southern San Andreas Fault Zone California: Station mvx021

The Southern San Andreas fault (SSAF) poses one of the largest seismic risks in California. However, structural properties around Coachella Valley remain enigmatic. In 2019, we collected magnetotelluric soundings (MT) to help inform depth-dependent fault zone geometry, fluid content and porosity. This project was led by the Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics at the University of California San Diego in partnership with U.S. Geological Survey and funded in large part by the Southern California Earthquake Center (SCEC).  The MT data were collected using Zonge International 32-bit ZEN data loggers with ANT-4 magnetic induction coils and Borin Ag-AgCl electrodes with 50 m dipoles. The ZEN was programmed to record continuously for ~8 hours at 256 samples per second with 10-minute burst sampling at 4096 samples per second in between for a total recording time of about 20 hours per site.  Transfer functions were estimated using the robust remote reference code EMTF (Egbert, 1997; DOI: https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-246X.1997.tb05663.x). The data included here are for MT station mvx021. A shapefile with station information for all stations in this dataset is available at https://doi.org/10.5066/P990U7GE of data release.

Video transects of the sea floor collected by the U.S. Geological Survey on Stellwagen Bank during six surveys aboard the R/V Auk, May 2016 to April 2019

These data are a part of the effort to map geologic substrates of the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary region off Boston, Massachusetts. The overall goal is to develop high-resolution (1:25,000) interpretive maps, based on multibeam sonar data and seabed sampling, showing surficial geology and seabed sediment dynamics. The work was conducted in collaboration with the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary, and the data collected will aid research on the ecology of fish and invertebrate species that inhabit the region. The Sanctuary's research vessel, R/V Auk, visited a total of 233 locations on Stellwagen Bank during six separate surveys from May 2016 to April 2019. During these surveys a customized Van Veen grab sampler (SEABOSS) equipped with a video camera and a CTD was deployed in drift mode to collect sediment for grain-size analysis, video imagery of the seabed, and measurements of water column properties including temperature, salinity, density, and fluorescence.
