Kaloko-Honokohau National Historical Park, insect count data 2014

We examined habitat use and foraging activity of the endangered Hawaiian hoary bat (Lasiurus cinereus semotus), as well as nocturnal aerial insect abundance at Kaloko-Honōkohau National Historical Park located in the coastal region of Kailua-Kona, Hawai‘i Island. The study area covers approximately 486 ha of marine waters and terrestrial coastal plains. Nocturnal aerial insect collection occurred in January and April (2 or 3 nights each) and in July and November (1 or 2 nights each) in 2014. Insects were collected at three stations (KAHO1, KAHO3, KAHO4) between 1 and 10 m above sea level. Nocturnal aerial insects were collected using a 22 W UV light placed above a funnel and bucket trap (Model #2851M, Bioquip Products Inc., Rancho Dominguez, CA) and powered by a 12 V marine deep cycle battery. Insect traps were placed near (~10 m) KAHO1 and KAHO3 (wooded shorelines) and KAHO4 (xeric, vegetated lava field). Timers turned the lights on at approximately one hour before local sunset and off at approximately one hour after local sunrise. Insects were removed from the traps at approximately 00:00 and 06:00, and preserved in EtOH. Insect samples were counted and identified to taxonomic order under a dissecting microscope (Leica MS5, Leica Microsystems Inc., Wetzlar, DE). Samples were dried in a drying oven for approximately 48 hours at 65 C and weighed on an analytical scale.

Kaloko-Honokohau National Historical Park, Hawaiian hoary bat acoustic data 2013-2015

We examined habitat use and foraging activity of the endangered Hawaiian hoary bat (Lasiurus cinereus semotus), as well as nocturnal aerial insect abundance at Kaloko-Honōkohau National Historical Park located in the coastal region of Kailua-Kona, Hawai‘i Island. The study area covers approximately 486 ha of marine waters and terrestrial coastal plains. Hawaiian hoary bat echolocation vocalizations were recorded at seven acoustic stations between 1 and 10 m above sea level, that operated nightly from November 2013 through February 2015. This data set includes data derived from these acoustic recording stations. Each acoustic recording station was comprised of an acoustic recording unit (SM2Bat+ Song Meter Digital Field Recorder, Wildlife Acoustics, Concord, MA) programmed to record between 10 and 100 kHz. Each recording unit was deployed in a waterproof housing and powered by a 6 V external battery with solar panel for recharging. An ultrasonic microphone (SMX-US, Wildlife Acoustics, Concord, MA) was mounted on a pole 2 to 3 m above the ground and connected by cable to the recording unit. Upon detection of a vocalizing bat, recording was triggered, and a call file was stored with the corresponding date and time on a secure digital (SD) memory card. SD memory cards were replaced every 2-3 months during which times quality checks on microphones were also made. Each recording unit was configured to operate from one hour before local sunset until one hour after local sunrise.

Sedimentation survey data for Lago Guayabal, December 2017

This data release contains spatial data associated with the sedimentation survey of Lago Guayabal conducted during the period December 11- December 14, 2017 by the Puerto Rico office of the Caribbean-Florida Water Science Center (CFWSC) of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). The goals of the survey were to determine reservoir infill sedimentation rates, generate a bathymetric map of the reservoir, and create a stage-volume relation. Field data collection involved measuring water depth along predetermined navigation lines. More than 270,000 water-depth points were surveyed along 60 navigation lines and All water-depth data were collected using a Teledyne-Odom Echotrac CVM depth sounder coupled to a Global Positioning System (GPS). Esri ArcGIS software, version 10.5 (Environmental Systems Research Institute, 2017), was used to edit the depth data and create a triangulated irregular network (TIN) model, from which bathymetric contours and a stage-volume relation were generated. This data release includes three spatial features used for the sedimentation analysis of Lago Guayabal in 2017 (water depth data points, reservoir shoreline and bathymetric contours).

Skin mycobiomes of western North American bats

White-nose syndrome (WNS), a fungal disease that has caused catastrophic population declines of bats in eastern North America, is rapidly spreading across the continent and now threatens previously unexposed bat species in western North America. The causal agent of WNS, Pseudogymnoascus destructans, can infect many species of hibernating bats, but susceptibility to WNS varies by host species. Predicting which western bat species will be most susceptible to WNS would be of great value for establishing conservation priorities. We previously reported that certain traits of the skin microbiome of bat species in eastern North America were strongly associated with tolerance to WNS. Using these traits, we developed a model to predict WNS susceptibility of 13 species of western North American bats. Based on the model, only two bat species, Myotis velifer and Eptesicus fuscus, were predicted to be WNS-tolerant. If accurate, a greater proportion of western bat species will be susceptible to the disease compared to eastern bat species, indicating that WNS may pose a significant conservation threat in western North America.

A network of 31 Upper Missouri River Basin naturalized water-year (Oct-Sep) streamflow reconstructions spanning years 800-1998 CE

Paleohydrologic records provide a valuable perspective on the variability of streamflow and hydroclimate that is critical for water resource planning and placing present day and future conditions into a long-term context.  Until now, key insights gained from streamflow reconstructions in the other river basins across the Western U.S. been lacking in the Upper Missouri River Basin due to a lack of extended streamflow records.  Here we utilize a new database of naturalized streamflow records for the Upper Missouri and an expanded network of tree-ring records from the region to reconstruct streamflow at 31 gaging locations across the major Mountain Headwaters of the United States’ largest river basin.  The database also includes an Upper Missouri Basin Basin composite record of streamflow that is not specific to any streamgage location, but rather summarizes streamflow variability across all the major gaging locations in the Upper Missouri River. The reconstructions explain an average of 68% of the variability in the observed streamflow records and extend records of streamflow to C.E. 886 on average.  The network of streamflow reconstructions presented here fills a major geographical void in paleohydrologic understanding and provides important data resources to water managers balancing increasing water demands for hydropower, irrigation, navigation, and ecological resources with increasing flood risk in the basin.

Chesapeake Bay Watershed historical and future projected land use and climate data summarized for NHDPlusV2 catchments

This dataset consists of historical estimates and future projections of land use and climate data summarized within the 1:100,000 National Hydrography Dataset Version 2 (NHDPlusV2) framework for catchments and upstream accumulated watersheds. Historical land use data are for the year 2005 and future land use projections are for the years 2030, 2060, and 2090. The projections offer a unique combination of thematic detail (17 land-use and land-cover classes). Historical climate estimates are averaged over the time period 1980-1999 and future climate projections are averaged over 20-year periods centered around the years 2030, 2060, and 2090. Climate data include seasonal measures of average air temperature (℃) and total precipitation (mm). The data set also includes bioregions as defined within the Chesapeake basin-wide index of biotic integrity for stream macroinvertebrates (Chessie BIBI). The COMID field (analogous to FEATUREID) can be used to link these data to the NHDPlus data suite. These data were used to develop models forecasting future stream conditions within the Chesapeake Bay Watershed under an array of potential future land use and climate scenarios. Results from this work can be used by researchers and managers to identify areas most suitable for conservation, mitigation, or restoration efforts while considering the non-static nature of the environment.

Chesapeake Bay River Input Monitoring Network 1985-2018: WRTDS output data

Nitrogen, phosphorus, and suspended-sediment loads, and changes in loads, in major rivers across the Chesapeake Bay watershed have been calculated using monitoring data from the Chesapeake Bay River Input Monitoring Network (RIM) stations for the period 1985 through 2018. Nutrient and suspended-sediment loads and changes in loads were determined by applying a weighted regression approach called WRTDS (Weighted Regression on  Time, Discharge, and Season).  The load results represent the total mass of nitrogen, phosphorus, and suspended sediment that was exported from each of the RIM watersheds.

Pumping Rate, Drawdown, and Atmospheric Pressure Data from Hydraulic Tomography Experiment at the Former Naval Air Warfare Center, West Trenton, NJ, 2015-2016

This data release presents pumping rate data, water-level drawdown and recovery data, and atmospheric pressure data collected during 48 pumping tests conducted in 2015 and 2016 for a hydraulic tomography field experiment in the mudstone aquifer underlying the former Naval Air Warfare Center (NAWC), West Trenton, NJ. The pumping rate data include rates measured by in-line flow meters and rates measured manually by recording the time to fill a known volume with the pump discharge water. The water-level drawdown data include drawdowns measured by fiber-optic pressure transducers, and drawdowns measured by strain-gauge transducers. For many tests, water-level recovery data are also provided, which measure the change in water levels after the end of a test. The data were collected in seven closely-spaced boreholes (wells 83-89), each open to approximately 20 meters of aquifer thickness. The wells were instrumented with inflatable packers to divide the open wells into multiple shorter isolated observation intervals in which the pumping tests occurred and drawdowns were monitored. The locations of the wells and the configuration of the wells into named isolated intervals are given in Tiedeman, C.R. and W. Barrash, 2019, Hydraulic Tomography: 3D Hydraulic Conductivity, Fracture Network, and Connectivity in a Mudstone Aquifer, Groundwater, https://doi.org/10.1111/gwat.12915 (referred to as Tiedeman and Barrash 2019), Figures 1 and S2 and Tables S1 and S2. Information about each of the pumping tests is given in Table 1 of that publication.

Blood Analytes in Brown Pelican in the Northern Gulf of Mexico (2013-2015)

The Eastern Brown Pelican (Pelecanus occidentalis carolinensis) is a large-bodied seabird that nests in colonies of 10 to upwards of 5,000 pairs, on nearshore islands in subtropical and tropical North American waters. It breeds between March and August, laying 2–3 eggs and raising 1–2 chicks per year. The species is facultatively migratory during nonbreeding, with some individuals remaining resident and others leaving breeding areas. Pelicans forage in near- and offshore waters and capture schooling fish by plunge-diving. 
This dataset summarizes blood analyte values collected from Brown Pelican nestlings and breeding adults from 2013-2015 in the Northern Gulf of Mexico at 9 breeding colonies from Texas to the Florida Panhandle. Evaluated analytes included alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, creatinine phosphokinase, gamma glutamyl transferase, lactate dehydrogenase, amylase, bile acids, blood urea nitrogen, calcium, cholesterol, CO2, creatinine, glucose, lipase, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, total protein, triglycerides, and uric acid. Lipoprotein analysis included high-density and very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol.

Transects_OpenOcean.shp - Digital Shoreline Analysis System version 4.3 Transects with Linear Regression Rate Calculations for the Open Ocean coast of Dauphin Island, Alabama.

Rates of shoreline change for Dauphin Island, Alabama were generated for three analysis periods, using two different shoreline proxy datasets. Mean High Water line (MHW) shorelines were generated from 14 lidar datasets (1998-2014) and Wet Dry Line (WDL) shorelines were digitized from ten sets of georeferenced aerial images (1940-2015). Rates of change were generated for three groups of shorelines: MHW (lidar), WDL (aerial) and MHW and WDL shorelines combined. These data will aid in developing an understanding of the evolution of the barrier island position, size and shape as well as documenting spatially-variable patterns in erosion and accretion of different sections of the island.
