The NYS Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) collects and maintains several datasets on the locations, distribution and status of species of plants and animals. Information on distribution by county from the following three databases was extracted and compiled into this dataset. First, the New York Natural Heritage Program biodiversity database: Rare animals, rare plants, and significant natural communities. Significant natural communities are rare or high-quality wetlands, forests, grasslands, ponds, streams, and other types of habitats. Next, the 2nd NYS Breeding Bird Atlas Project database: Birds documented as breeding during the atlas project from 2000-2005. And last, DEC’s NYS Reptile and Amphibian Database: Reptiles and amphibians; most records are from the NYS Amphibian & Reptile Atlas Project (Herp Atlas) from 1990-1999.

This data publication includes vector digital data files containing white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) densities during 1982, 1994-1999, and 2001-2005 in the continental United States. Using object-based image analysis followed by random forests classification, we rapidly digitized choropleth maps of white-tailed deer densities, allowing access to deer density information stored in images. This method rapidly reclaimed informational value of deer density maps and similarly may be applied to digitize a variety of published maps to geographic information system layers.Digitization of white-tailed deer densities during 1982 in the United States.Data were originally published on 12/13/2019.

This data publication includes a comprehensive accounting and estimation of total payments for forest-based ecosystem services to private forest landowners in the 50 United States. These data include payments in terms of real (inflation-adjusted, constant) 2015 dollars and participating acres (where data are available) by state, year, and payment program or market. Payment programs and markets are grouped into mechanism types including public payments, compliance transactions, and voluntary transactions. Ecosystem services are grouped into categories including carbon sequestration and storage, watershed protection and water quality, wildlife habitat, and bundled services. Also included is a user guide that provides a thorough description of data sources and processing and estimation procedures.The objective of compiling, processing, estimating, and summarizing these data is to achieve the most robust and complete accounting of payments for forest-based ecosystem services possible, to provide a comprehensive understanding of the nature, magnitude, and trends of these programs and markets. These data were initially compiled primarily for the purpose of reporting Indicator 6.27: "Revenue from forest-based environmental services" within the U.S. National Report on Sustainable Forests (McGinley et al. 2023), which is part of the U.S. commitment to reporting on forest conditions under the Montreal Process. Data were compiled from numerous primary data sources which include administrative data from public programs, registries of offsets/credits for voluntary and compliance markets, and surveys of market participants.These data were published on 10/12/2021. Minor metadata updates were made on 06/23/2023 and 06/05/2024.

Data includes Faunal Analysis at Site. Site Description: The Koster site is a deeply stratified site located in the lower Illinois River valley containing cultural deposits that span most of the Holocene. This site has provided significant information about the Archaic period in the Midwest as well as human-environment interactions at this time. Due to excellent preservation Koster gives us a complex record of the technologies and food sources of its inhabitants over time. The Koster site is located in Section 21, T 9 N, R 13 W Greene County adjacent to eastern bluffline of the lower Illinois Valley. The Site was test excavated in the summer of 1969, under the direction of Stuart Struever of Northwestern University. Originally it was defined on the basis of debris from a Late Woodland occupation, but the 1969 tests made it clear that older occupations stratified beneath the Late Woodland occupation were significant. Major excavations were undertaken at the site between 1969 and 1979 under the direction of Struever and James A. Brown, and a large number of student archaeologists received training at Koster through field schools of Northwestern University. During this time Koster also was a significant attraction for public education about archaeology through the Foundation for Illinois Archaeology (now the Center for American Archaeology) based in Kampsville, IL.

The faunal database available here spans the Middle Archaic from ca. 8300-6850 BP or Horizons 10B-8B. This appears to have been a crucial period for subsistence and settlement change in the Midwest.

The present report contains an account of a hasty trip made during the latter part of the summer and fall of 1902 to the base of the Alaska Peninsula. Work was done on both coasts and in part of the interior. On account of the importance of the region as a meeting- ground of some of the life areas of Alaska, it was desired that more time be spent in the field, but the shortness of the season prevented. Since it is not feasible at present to continue work in this region, it has been decided to record such results as were obtained. Throughout the trip Alfred G. Maddren acted as my assistant and Walter Fleming was employed as camp hand. During the season of 1903 Mr. Maddren spent considerable time in the Cold Bay and Becharof Lake region. Although for the most part occupied otherwise, he secured a considerable number of specimens, as well as some important notes for which 1 am indebted to him. M. W. Gorman, of Portland, Greg., who was engaged in botanical work for the Department, accompanied us during July on Lakes Iliamna and Clark, and his cheerful cooperation was greatly appreciated. Travel was chiefly by canoe. On account of the inclement weather, which prevailed most of the time, progress was slower than if the party had been able to start before the fall rains began. Natives were employed from time to time as carriers and guides, and as a rule proved faithful and efficient. The employees of the Trans-Alaska Company, which had some stores in the region, rendered considerable assistance, and we were particularly indebted to H. Hicks and C. T. Brooks. Much of the region has seldom been visited by white men, and such of the streams and lakes as were shown on published maps were indicated on little more basis than hearsay or the unreliable sketches of natives and prospectors. The accompanying map, made from rough sketches and estimates, is doubtless incorrect to a great degree, but will show the points to which it is necessary to make special reference. Until actual surveys are made in the region, it may prove helpful to future travelers.

These data include 2015 - 2018 eDNA field sample points indicating lab results for presence or absence of bull trout. Sample sites are spaced at a 1 kilometer interval throughout the historical range of bull trout. eDNA stream samples are collected and species presence/absence is determined by analyses at the National Genomics Center. Results are recorded in the feature attribute table of the eDNA sample site shapefile. One point feature in the shapefile was generated for each 1 kilometer sample point in the bull trout eDNA feature class. Where multiple samples were collected at a single eDNA sample site, replicate point features will occur at a single location in the shapefile. The bull trout is an ESA-listed species with a historical range that encompasses many waters across the Northwest. Though once abundant, bull trout have declined in many locations and are at risk from a changing climate, nonnative species, and habitat degradation. Informed conservation planning relies on sound and precise information about the distribution of bull trout in thousands of streams, but gathering this information is a daunting and expensive task. To overcome this problem, we coupled 1) predictions from the range-wide, spatially precise Climate Shield model on the location of natal habitats of bull trout with 2) a sampling template for every 8-digit hydrologic unit in the historical range of bull trout, based on the probability of detecting bull trout presence using environmental DNA (eDNA) sampling (McKelvey et al. 2016). The template consists of a master set of geospatially referenced sampling locations at 1-kilometer intervals within each cold-water habitat. We also identified sampling locations at this same interval based on the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's (USFWS) designation of critical spawning and rearing habitat. Based on field tests of eDNA detection probabilities conducted by the National Genomics Center for Wildlife and Fish Conservation, this sampling approach will reliably determine the presence of populations of bull trout, as well as provide insights on non-spawning habitats used by adult and subadult fish. The completed bull trout eDNA survey results are available through an interactive ArcGIS Online Map. The map provides the ability to zoom in and look at an area of interest, as well as to create queries or select an area to download points as a shapefile.

These data document the summary of species, by taxonomic group, listed as threatened or endangered by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service from 1 July 1976 to 30 September 2019 for the United States. Data were compiled from two sources: the Endangered Species Bulletins and the Environmental Conservation Online system (ECOS), http://ecos.fws.gov/tess_public/reports/box-score-report.To create a temporal data set of species listed as threatened or endangered, by taxonomic group. The data are provided because the Fish & Wildlife Service does not provide temporal counts of threatened and endangered species, only counts of single points in time.

This layer represents modeled stream temperatures derived from the NorWeST point feature class (NorWest_TemperaturePoints). NorWeST summer stream temperature scenarios were developed for all rivers and streams in the western U.S. from the > 20,000 stream sites in the NorWeST database where mean August stream temperatures were recorded. The resulting dataset includes stream lines (NorWeST_PredictedStreams) and associated mid-points NorWest_TemperaturePoints) representing 1 kilometer intervals along the stream network. Stream lines were derived from the 1:100,000 scale NHDPlus dataset (USEPA and USGS 2010; McKay et al. 2012). Shapefile extents correspond to NorWeST processing units, which generally relate to 6 digit (3rd code) hydrologic unit codes (HUCs) or in some instances closely correspond to state borders. The line and point shapefiles contain identical modeled stream temperature results. The two feature classes are meant to complement one another for use in different applications. In addition, spatial and temporal covariates used to generate the modeled temperatures are included in the attribute tables at https://www.fs.usda.gov/rm/boise/AWAE/projects/NorWeST/ModeledStreamTemperatureScenarioMaps.shtml. The NorWeST NHDPlusV1 processing units include: Salmon, Clearwater, Spokoot, Missouri Headwaters, Snake-Bear, MidSnake, MidColumbia, Oregon Coast, South-Central Oregon, Upper Columbia-Yakima, Washington Coast, Upper Yellowstone-Bighorn, Upper Missouri-Marias, and Upper Green-North Platte. The NorWeST NHDPlusV2 processing units include: Lahontan Basin, Northern California-Coastal Klamath, Utah, Coastal California, Central California, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, and Black Hills.

This data publication contains capture and telemetry measurements for elk (Cervus elaphus) in the Black Hills National Forest. Radio-collared elk were located 2-3 times per month and behavior observed. These data also include vegetation characterization at 412 locations where the precise location of elk were observed and 509 random locations. Elk are desirable for consumptive and non-consumptive uses. They also are increasingly, the subject of conflicts between recreational uses, livestock, timber, or off-highway vehicles. Elk move large distances in their daily search for resources. Consequently, as biologists attempt to unravel the resource selection processes, resource selection must be evaluated simultaneously across multiple scales. The combination of high road density and intensive timber management in the Black Hills provided an ideal background for evaluating resource selection by elk at multiple scales in intensively managed forests.These data are directly associated with the publication "Habitat use by elk (Cervus elaphus) within structural stages of a managed forest of the northcentral United States" shown in the cross-reference section.

The Middle to Late Eocene sediments of Texas have yielded a wealth of fossil material that offers a rare window on a diverse and highly endemic mammalian fauna from that time in the southern part of North America. These faunal data are particularly significant because the narrative of mammalian evolution in the Paleogene of North America has traditionally been dominated by taxa that are known from higher latitudes, primarily in the Rocky Mountain and northern Great Plains regions. Here we report on the affinities of two peculiar carnivoraforms from the Chambers Tuff of Trans-Pecos, Texas, that were first described 30 years ago as Miacis cognitus and M. australis. Re-examination of previously described specimens and their inclusion in a cladistic analysis revealed the two taxa to be diminutive basal amphicyonids; as such, they are assigned to new genera Gustafsonia and Angelarctocyon, respectively. These two taxa fill in some of the morphological gaps between the earliest-known amphicyon...
