This dataset accompanies the manuscript Unintended consequences of selective water withdrawals from reservoirs alter downstream macroinvertebrate communities in Water Resources Research.
Benthic macroinvertebrates were collected from samples taken annually during the first two weeks of August from 2002-2007 and again in 2017 at six sites in the South Fork McKenzie...
Isotope and stomach content data from piscivorous reservoir fishes collected from Hills Creek (isotopes; 43°40′16″N 122°25′33″W) and Lookout Point (isotopes and stomach contents; 43°53′48″N 122°43′34″W) reservoirs located on the Middle Fork Willamette River, Oregon. Additional details can be found in the related publication.
Isotope sampling was conducted under OSU Institutional...
This dataset contains DNA sequence data of Oncorhynchus species, isolated from environmental DNA (eDNA) from Pacific Northwest streams via microfluidic eDNA metabarcoding and high-throughput (Ilummina) sequencing (samples collected from 2017-09-22 to 2017-10-10). It is accompanied by scripts and commands for data analyses including: sequence denoising, calculation of entropy values by...
We studied avian development in 49 species of temperate and 153 species of tropical New World passerine birds to determine how growth rates, and incubation and nestling periods, varied in relation to other life-history traits. We collected growth data and generated unbiased mass and tarsus growth rate estimates (mass n...
This dataset is based on quantitative PCR (qPCR) output. Output from all qPCR was compiled in this dataset and kept as the original. Information about sampling time, id, concentration, sites and a conversion of the quantity in femtograms were added as complement to the qPCR output to facilitate data analysis
This dataset was produced as a result of experiments conducted with simple and alginate complex particles that were used to evaluate feeding in California yellowtail and white seabass post larvae. Retention data was collected from a series of retention trials whereby particles were suspended in seawater for various lengths of...
This dataset contains the taxonomic classifications of environmental DNA (eDNA) sequences obtained from Fall Creek, Oregon, via microfluidic multiplex PCR (Fluidigm Access Array) and high-throughput sequencing. It is accompanied by electrofishing counts taken at the same time as the eDNA samples. Metadata and R scripts are provided to analyze the...
Movement in an important component of an animal’s life cycle when it relies on both aquatic and terrestrial habitats. When multiple species overlap in the use of these habitats, they rely on other methods to reduce competition for shared resources. This dataset measured the jumping performance and movement behavior of...
Background. Ampelisca eschrichtii Krøyer, 1842 of the Sakhalin Shelf of the Okhotsk Sea, Far Eastern Russia, comprise the highest known biomass concentration of any amphipod population in the world and are a critically important prey source for western gray whales. Growth and reproduction in this population has not been apparent...
Cytochrome B sequence data (FASTA format) from the paper “Seasonal distribution and environmental associations among late larval and juvenile rockfish (Sebastes spp.) off Oregon and Washington: new insights based on genetics”. The data was generated from a sample of 2534 unknown, field collected late-larval and juvenile rockfishes from the Pacific...
