The three O. kayi dentaries (A–C) each bear a shallow pit in approximately the same position as the flattened and shallowly concave knob in AMNH FARB 22965, whereas the more anteriorly complete Pro. copei dentary (E) bears a convex knob positioned more ventrolabially relative to the potentially homologous pit in O. kayi and the flattened and shallowly concave knob in AMNH FARB 22965. Also note how many of the incomplete teeth in the three O. kayi dentaries (A–C) are broken at the same level, along the plane of weakness between the crown and pedicel, whereas nonpedicellate teeth in the two Pro. copei dentaries (D, E) are broken at various positions along the basal-apical lengths of the teeth. All images are photographs, with specimens lightly dusted with ammonium chloride to enhance surface details.

Data from: Abiotic and biotic drivers on tadpoles in seasonal rock pools of Western Ghats rock outcrops, India

We assessed the influence of abiotic (pool size, monsoon progression) and biotic (predator abundances) factors on occurrence and abundance of three species of tadpoles by periodically monitoring rock pools in lateritic plateaus. The dataset generated from this study is published here.  Species Coverage: Euphlyctis jaladhara, Microhyla nilphamariensis, Polypedates maculatus; four predator groups (Pisaurid Spiders, Crabs, Water Beetles, Dragonfly Larvae) Geographic Coverage: Devi Hasol plateu of Ratnagiri District, Maharashtra State, India. (16°44'–16°45'N; 73°25–73°27'E) Temporal Coverage: July, August, September (2022).   Methods: Nighttime rock pool surveys were conducted for tadpoles of three species (Euphlyctis jaladhara, Microhyla nilphamariensis, Polypedates maculatus). Pools were monitored eight times during the study period between 1900–2300 hr, usually in clear weather, barring occasional rain incidences. The pool water was clear during all the observation occasions. For large (>1003 cm3) pools, the observer gently walked along the bank and scanned the pool to record all animals. Care was taken not to recount the same schools of tadpoles, and a red light was used while approaching the pool to avoid light disturbance. The observer enumerated tadpoles of the three species and their potential predators (fishing spiders, crabs, dragonfly larvae, and water beetles) by counting them using head and hand-held torch lights. Following microhabitat variables were recorded at four occasions: Pool maximum length and width (cm), water depth (cm) at three points, humus cover (%), submerged vegetation cover (%), and edge vegetation cover (%). The percentage covers of vegetation and humus were visually estimated.    Funding: <ol> <li>On the Edge (UK)</li> <li>The Habitats Trust (India)</li> <li>The Bombay Environmental Action Group (India)</li> </ol>

Monthly Hydropower Generation Dataset for Western Canada

The presented dataset contains the following simulation-based monthly hydropower generation data for 110 facilities in British Columbia and Alberta, to support Western-US interconnect grid system studies: 1) Monthly hydropower generation estimates 2) Monthly hydropower flexibility metrics (minimum and maximum hourly generation and daily fluctuations) The hydropower generation estimates are provided with reference to the facility list that contains the corresponding metadata for each facility. For more details, please refer to Son, Y., Bracken, C., Broman, D. et al. Monthly hydropower generation data for Western Canada to support Western-US interconnect power system studies.

The PNNL is a multi-program national laboratory operated by Battelle Memorial Institute for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) under Contract No. DE-AC05-76RL01830. <h1>Disclaimer</h1> The presented dataset aims to support robust, long-term power system planning under diverse water conditions. However, it should not be used to assess hydropower generation during extreme flood events when facilities may need to be disconnected from power grids due to dam safety and potential loss of control that could propagate into grid instability. Similarly, the dataset should not be utilized for unprecedented drought conditions where reservoir levels may fall below critical power pool levels. Furthermore, evolving water policies, including the Columbia River Treaty, can alter seasonal and monthly hydrological patterns. It is important to note that our hydropower generation dataset, which is derived based on Year 2008, does not account for any historical and future changes in environmental regulations, water management, or water policies.
