We used 7 microsatellites to characterize the invasion genetics of 528 American bullfrogs sampled from the Yellowstone River floodplain (Montana). American bullfrog samples were collected from a 140 km section of the Yellowstone River near Billings, MT in 2013 - 2017.

Monitoring change in genetic diversity in wildlife populations across multiple scales could facilitate prioritization of conservation efforts. We used microsatellite genotypes from 7,080 previously collected genetic samples from across the greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) range to develop a modelling framework for estimating genetic diversity within a recently developed hierarchically nested monitoring framework (clusters). The majority of these genetic samples (n=6560) were used in previous research (Oyler-McCance et al. 2014; Cross et. al 2018; Row et. al. 2018). Genetic diversity values associated with clusters across multiple scales could facilitate the identification of areas with low genetic diversity and inform the potential management or conservation priority and response. We also report the data used to define genetic diversity thresholds of conservation concern and a full reporting of the genetic diversity estimates associated with the evaluated clusters.

Dataset containing information for white-tailed deer samples from Ohio, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia and New York, genotyped for 11 microsatellites markers. Marker OvirQ should not be used as it presents alleles inconsistent with reported pattern, with some alleles separated by only 1 base pair and inconsistent between runs. Projected coordinates representing sampling location are in a user-defined CRS, similar to USA Contiguous Albers Equal Area Conic: "+proj=aea +lat_1=29.3 +lat_2=45.3 +lat_0=23 +lon_0=-96 +x_0=0 +y_0=0 +ellps=GRS80 +towgs84=0,0,0,0,0,0,0 +units=m +no_defs".

We investigated fine-scale genetic patterns of the federally threatened Eastern Massasauga Rattlesnake (Sistrurus catenatus) on a relatively undisturbed island in northern Michigan, USA. This species often persists in habitat islands throughout much of its distribution due to extensive habitat loss and distance-limited dispersal. These data are from 102 individual Eastern Massasauga Rattlesnakes sampled at Bois Blanc Island, Michigan and genotyped at 15 microsatellite loci. Samples were collected as part of a study to examine functional connectivity for the Eastern Massasauga. We found that the entire island population exhibited weak genetic structuring with spatially segregated variation in effective migration and genetic diversity.

This data package provides a dictionary of microsatellite locus primers used by the USGS Alaska Science Center, Molecular Ecology Laboratory (MEL). It is a look-up file of microsatellite locus names and citations to the original publication or source where additional information about the locus primers may be found.

The datasets for this investigation consist of microtremor array data collected in three regions of the Puget Lowland, Washington State: 1) western Seattle and Tacoma basins (7 sites), 2) Seattle basin and uplift (17 sites), and 3) Tacoma basin (20 sites).Dataset 1 was acquired with Trillium Compact 20 s-100 Hz three-component (3C) sensors deployed in a ten-sensor nested triangular array with non-uniform sensor spacing; inter-sensor distances ranged from ~57 to ~1000 m. Dataset 2 was acquired with four-sensor triangular arrays with Guralp CMG-40T 3C sensors having flat response from 0.033 Hz to 50 Hz; inter-sensor distances ranged from ~19 to ~300 m. Dataset 3 was acquired with Trillium Compact 3C sensors, as used for dataset 1, deployed in a ten-sensor nested triangular array with uniform sensor spacing; inter-sensor distances ranged from ~19 to ~300 m. Datasets 1 and 3 were recorded on RefTek RT-130 data loggers whereas dataset 2 was recorded on Kinemetrics K2 data loggers. All data are archived as GNU-zipped tar files in binary SAC format.

The data are included in 8 separate text files. 1) "Sample_coordinates.txt". The file contains sample identifiers along with geographic coordinates associated with each sample. Coordinates are specified as UTM Zone 10 values (WGS84). 2) "Sample_genotypes.txt". The file contains a sample identifier along with microsatellite genotypes associated with each sample. 3) "uniform_conductances.asc". An ASCII text-based representation of a map containing idealized habitat for Northern Spotted Owls. 4) "1870_conductance.asc". An ASCII text-based representation of a map containing idealized habitat for Northern Spotted Owls in the 1870's. 5) "1940_conductance.asc". An ASCII text-based representation of a map containing idealized habitat for Northern Spotted Owls in the 1840's. 6) "1986_conductance.asc". An ASCII text-based representation of a map containing idealized habitat for Northern Spotted Owls in 1986. 7) "1994_conductance.asc". An ASCII text-based representation of a map containing idealized habitat for Northern Spotted Owls in 1994. 8) "2012_conductance.asc". An ASCII text-based representation of a map containing idealized habitat for Northern Spotted Owls in 2012.

Collection of microsatellite genetic data from multiple projects involving southern mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus fuliginatus) in San Diego County, California. Samples were collected 2005-2007, 2010, 2012-2013, 2015, and 2018-2020.

This data set describes nuclear microsatellite genotypes derived from 17 autosomal loci (Sug001, Sug002, Sug003, Sug006, Sug007, Sug008, Sug009, Sug010, Sug011, Sug012, Sug019, Sug021, Sug022, Sug023, Sug024, Sug029, Sug038) in shrews, Sorex spp.

These data show multilocus genotypes, banding age, and territory for coastal cactus wrens (Campylorhynchus brunneicapillus) sampled in coastal Southern California between 2009 and 2019.
