Data

This data release consists of a single table that includes sample site geographic locations, insect prey abundance, and bat activity and behavior metrics. The dataset was used to develop multi-state occupancy models of foraging habitat use by Hawaiian hoary bats (Lasiurus cinereus semotus).

Hawaiian hoary bat vocalization and visual detection records collected on Hawaii Island, Hawaii, September-October 2014. Bat echolocation was monitored with ultrasonic detectors and bat occurrence and behavior was monitored using thermal surveillance cameras.

This data release is comprised of a set of eight time travel map shapefiles (two tsunami inundation zones and four travel times) for use in GIS software applications and two population exposure by travel time tables (residents and nonresidences) for use in GIS software applications and other standalone spreadsheet applications. The travel time map was generated using the Pedestrian Evacuation Ana

In this study, we create and evaluate a protocol to estimate the density, which can be used to estimate the abundance of terrestrial sound-producing animals from single automatic sound recorders. The protocol uses cue rates from the target species as well as sampling conditions and an estimate of the distance of the individual to the recorder based on the power of the sound. We applied our protoco

This data release consists of two ESRI geodatabases that store inundation areas for various future scenarios of sea-level rise (SLR), groundwater rise, and storm waves for Laysan Island and Midway Atoll in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands. Five types of inundation scenarios are considered: (1) passive SLR, (2) passive SLR including groundwater rise, (3) wave-driven inundation during storm events,

This collection of nine datasets covers Midway Atoll and Laysan Island in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands, and was created to help estimate the impacts of the March 11, 2011 tsunami event on avifauna in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands. For each island, we generated a coastline dataset and a land cover dataset based on satellite imagery taken the year before the tsuanmi event. We also created d

We quantified the availability of breeding habitat of the endangered Hawaii Akepa (Loxops coccineus). The species is thought to nest excusively in natural cavities within mature ohia (Metrosideros polymorpha) trees but birds commonly occur in short stature trees that presumably do not have any natural cavities because of their polyploidal (many-branched) structure. To test this hypothesis we searc

This data includes data and metadata of (1) the percent cover of all species found along transects on the south facing slopes of Santa Cruz Island, CA (2) the height of all shrub individuals on transects on the south facing slopes of Santa Cruz Island, CA and (3) location data of on the south facing slopes of Santa Cruz Island, CA. Data were used in the analysis for the Manuspcript "Long-term impa

The purpose of this release is to make available the quality-assured pesticide-concentration results for 32 discrete water samples that were collected on the islands of Kauaʻi and Oʻahu between November 21, 2016 and April 29, 2017. This webpage includes brief descriptions of the sampling sites, the samples collected, streamflow conditions during sampling, sample-collection and filtration methods,

Defining full life cycle biology is critical for comprehensive conservation planning. To that end, life history information on the endangered Mariana swiftlet (Aerodramus bartschi) is scarce. Therefore, this study examined the reproductive biology of the Mariana swiftlet over five annual cycles on the island of Oahu in the Hawaiian Islands. This introduced population used a human-made tunnel for r

The shapefile associated with this metadata file represents the spatial distribution of mean annual water-budget components, in inches, for the Island of Kauai, Hawaii. The water-budget components in the shapefile were computed by a water-budget model for a scenario representative of current conditions (2001-10 rainfall and 2001-10 land cover), as described in U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Inv

The shapefile associated with this metadata file represents the spatial distribution of mean annual water-budget components, in inches, for the Island of Kauai, Hawaii. The water-budget components in the shapefile were computed by a water-budget model for a scenario representative of recent conditions (1978-2007 rainfall and 2010 land cover), as described in USGS Scientific Investigations Report (
