Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica) were exposed to multiple doses of HBCD over multiple generations through feed and by maternal deposition into the egg. Liver transcriptomes were examined to identify genes and pathways directly affected by HBCD to better understand the mechanisms of action in birds. RNA was extracted from liver of adults and embryos and analyzed (1x50 bp) on an Illumina HiSeq 2000. NCBI Biosample accessions and the raw counts that were input into the differential expression analysis are provided in this dataset. The raw sequence data are available at the NCBI Sequence Read...

These data are collected annually during the breeding season, primarily in June, along thousands of randomly established roadside survey routes in the United States and Canada. Routes are roughly 24.5 miles (39.2 km) long with counting locations placed at approximately half-mile (800-m) intervals, for a total of 50 stops. At each stop, a citizen scientist highly skilled in avian identification conducts a 3-minute point count, recording all birds seen within a quarter-mile (400-m) radius and all birds heard.

The goal is to understand the strength and direction of drivers on fish growth, movement, reproduction and survival in the wild. We hope to provide a comprehensive understanding of fish population dynamics for this stream network and ultimately individual fitness (natural selection and evolution) in the study area.

Time series analysis for trend use Landsat surface reflectance imagery from 1985 to 2021. Scenarios: 1) Abrupt Transition – ecosystem is unstable and transitioning to alternate state (regime shift, exhibiting EWS); 2) Slowly Transitioning – ecosystem is transitioning slowly to alternate state (no EWS detected); 3) Recovering ecosystem – ecosystem is unstable but also becoming re-vegetated over the years;...

Smallmouth bass (Micropterus dolomieu) are a sensitive, indicator species that exhibit symptoms of immunosupression and endocrine disruption in response to water quality changes and contaminant exposure. In the Susquehanna River drainage, smallmouth bass have been used in biomonitoring assessments to help understand changes in the population due to poor young-of-the-year recruitment and health effects. To help determine effects of agriculture and development on smallmouth bass health, two sites (a developed/agriculture site and a forested site)...

(2024): Sprinting performance and behavior of adult shortnose sturgeon (Acipenser brevirostrum). Notably, the code includes several processes used to differentiate among attempts, quantify attempt rate, distance traversed, and endurance of shortnose sturgeon ascending a telemetered flume. The code can be readily adapted to other forms of telemetry analysis, in particulary with respect to processes associated with fish passage at barriers. Additional code is provided that quantifies kinematics variables recorded for the sturgeon as they swam at high speeds in the flume. The kinematics code was modified from Goerig et al (2021): https://doi.org/10.5061/dryad.bg79cnp9x Categories: Data Release - In Progress; Tags: Aquatic Biology, Connecticut River, Ecology, Hydrology, USGS Science Data Catalog (SDC), All tags... biota, endurance, fish passage, kinematics, motivation, sturgeon, swimming performance, Fewer tags
