Mule deer in the Sheep Creek sub herd are part of the larger Area 6 herd that occupies portions of Elko, Lander, and Eureka counties. The primary winter range of this population is located along the eastern flank of the Sheep Creek Range and the west side of Boulder Valley. Most deer migrate approximately 30 miles from winter ranges in upper Boulder Creek and Antelope Creek drainages to summer ranges on the west side of the Tuscarora Mountains. However, some deer in this population migrate much farther – approximately 80 miles – and connect with mule deer that summer east of the Humboldt River. This deer herd faces several challenges, including migration routes that pass through increased mineral extraction activities...
The Sublette Herd Corridor was designated by the Wyoming Game and Fish Department in 2016. The Sublette Herd supports an estimated 20,000 to 25,000 animals, and the corridors represent movements from three subpopulations, including the Ryegrass, Mesa, and Red Desert segments. Deer from the Ryegrass winter west of the Green River and migrate northwest into portions of the Wyoming Range, Salt River Range, and Hoback Basin. Deer from the Mesa segment winter east of the Green River and migrate northwest to summer ranges in the Wyoming Range, Snake River Range, Hoback Basin, and Gros Ventre Range. Deer in the Red Desert occupy winter ranges near Superior, Wyo. just north of I-80. These animals migrate nearly 150 mi (241...

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 proximate composition and energy density values for common prey species of Brown Pelican, collected from 2014-2015 in the Northern Gulf of Mexico at 8 breeding colonies...

Avian point count, vegetation, and management data from surveys in Northern New England at four National Wildlife Refuges (NWRs), Baxter State Park, and prviate lands in Northern Maine surveyed during the breeding and postbreeding season bewteen 1 June and 4 August 2013 to 2015. NWRs include Nulhegan (Silvio O. Conte), Umbagog, Moosehorn, and Aroostook. This data release includes five zip folders which contain the data and metadata for various aspects of the project as briefly described in the metadata below
These are cost tables associated with the Neosho river, White river, and Current river drainages located on the border of Missouri, Arkansas, and Oklahoma. All of these watersheds drain directly into neighboring states and are not directly connected to other watersheds in the state of Missouri. This represents 20 of the total 109 cost tables. These data are intended to to be used in the Missouri Stream Conservation and Connectivity Prioritization Tool and are not suitable stand-alone products outside of the context of the application. Cost tables are saved by origin stream priority geographies. Metadata in support of the cost tables is located in the cost table data dictionary (A_DataDictionary_CostTableFields.csv)....

There are four data tables (csv documents) provided here which are formatted according to tidy data principles. We identified sites centered on known murrelet nest trees (nest sites) and on randomly selected trees (control sites) and the first table contains variables that vary at the site level. Each site had up to three stations where occupancy surveys were collected, so the second table contains variables varying at the station level. Each station was surveyed multiple times, and the third table contains variables varying at the survey level. Lastly, we had a camera trained on the nests at our active nest sites and the fourth table contains one row for every recorded action taken by an adult or nestling.

The polygon data in the geodatabase represent range-wide habitat suitability model predictions for five species of herpetofauna: gopher tortoise (Gopherus polyphemus), southern hognose snake (Heterodon simus), Florida pine snake (Pituophis melanoleucus mugitus), gopher frog (Lithobates capito), and striped newt (Notophthalmus perstriatus). Collectively, the habitat suitability polygons extend across the range of these species in the Southeast US, including areas in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina. This assessment was conducted by the USGS Cooperative Fish & Wildlife Research Unit at the University of Georgia in collaboration with other partners. Habitat suitability...

Small, surface-release dams can impair natural stream connectivity by disrupting the flow of water, sediment, nutrients, and biota. Many dams built during the 19th and 20th centuries have exceeded their functional lifespan, and as a result, dam removal has become an increasingly prevalent stream restoration method. However, many streams have not been consistently monitored before and after dam removal, and there is a paucity of information regarding how dam removals affect stream ecosystems across different dam, stream, and landscape characteristics. Therefore, this study aimed to quantify the effects of dams and dam removals on a critical water quality parameter (dissolved oxygen) across 16 Massachusetts streams...

We determined the critical thermal maximum (CTMax) of six species of Eleutherodactylus frogs (Eleutherodactylus antillensis, Eleutherodactylus brittoni, Eleutherodactylus cochranae, Eleutherodactylus coqui, Eleutherodactylus juanariveroi, Eleutherodactylus wightmanae) to understand their response to warming temperatures. Data consist of capture history, body condition, and temperature at which the frog exhibited spasms and erratic behavior, which may impair predator avoidance. Our results underscored the potential vulnerability of Eleutherodactylus species exhibiting lower CTMax to the forecasted warming of tropical zones (e.g., E. wightmanae, E. brittoni).

These data are the location and date of collection of endangered northern long-eared bat Myotis septentrionalis echolocation passes when the automated bat identification software assessed species presence at a maximum likelihood estimator p-value of less than or equal to 0.05 consistent with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service monitoring guideline standards.
The Fossil Butte (hereafter referred to as the Monument in this section of the report) elk population winters in the southern Wyoming Range between Fossil Butte National Monument and Cokeville (fig. 45). During spring, they migrate north short (11 mi [18 km]) to medium (74 mi [119 km]) distances. The segment of the elk population that winters near the Monument migrates into the Wyoming Range at the head of the Hams Fork and LaBarge Creek. This population departs their summer ranges during the beginning of archery season in early fall for the Monument, where no hunting is allowed. Elk wintering closer to Cokeville migrate north in the spring along the western edge of the Wyoming Range. Cokeville collared elk departed...
The Interstate 17 (I-17) elk herd primarily resides in Arizona’s GMU 6A and 11M south of Flagstaff. The population estimate for elk in GMU 6A was 6,500 in 2019. Their summer range consists of gentle topography with ponderosa pine forest and interspersed riparian-meadow habitat. Annually, the I-17 elk herd migrates an average of 24 miles to lower-elevation winter range dominated by pinyon-juniper habitat. This winter habitat is located along Oak Creek Canyon to the west and Wet Beaver Creek to the south. The I-17 elk herd faces high road mortality, averaging around 80 mortalities from vehicles per year (Gagnon et al 2013). Despite the high incidence of elk-vehicle collisions along I-17, road crossings are generally...

The Area 7 mule deer population is one of the state’s largest deer herds with an estimated population of about 11,000 in 2019. This deer herd is highly important to Nevada from an economic and ecological perspective. It’s one of the longest distance deer migrations in the state of Nevada with some animals known to migrate over 120 miles during a single migration. A subset of this population, known as the “Pequop” herd, crosses a major highway (US highway 93) and an interstate (Interstate-80) twice annually during their seasonal migration. Several million dollars in wildlife crossing structures have been constructed to help these deer during their migration, yet they still face challenges to connectivity between...
Migratory movements of elk within the Piney herd unit, a large area encompassing the eastern side of the Wyoming, include short (i.e., 10 miles) to medium (i.e., 30 miles) distance migrations. These elk migrate from low elevation elk feedgrounds and native winter ranges in the Upper Green River Basin to high elevation summer ranges in the Wyoming Range. In summer, some elk head further west into the Grey’s River Basin from the Bench Corral and Forest Park feedgrounds. Challenges for Piney elk include energy development, especially in the southern portion of the herd unit. These data provide the location of migration routes for Elk (Cervus canadensis) in the Piney herd in Wyoming. They were developed from Brownian...
