Red Wood-Ant Nests and Fault-Related Methane Micro-Seepage 2016

We measured methane (CH4) and stable carbon isotope of methane (ẟ13C-CH4) concentrations in ambient air and within a red wood-ant (RWA; Formica polyctena) nest in the Neuwied Basin (Germany) using high-resolution in-situ sampling to detect microbial, thermogenic, and abiotic fault-related micro-seepage of CH4. Methane degassing from RWA nests was not synchronized with earth tides, nor was it influenced by micro-earthquake degassing or concomitantly measured RWA activity. Two ẟ13C-CH4 signatures were identified in nest gas: −69‰ and −37‰. The lower peak was attributed to microbial decomposition of organic matter within the RWA nest, in line with previous observations that RWA nests are hot-spots of microbial CH4. The higher peak has not been reported in previous studies. We attribute this peak to fault-related CH4 emissions moving via fault networks into the RWA nest, which could originate either from thermogenic or abiotic CH4 formation. Sources of these micro-seepages could be Devonian schists, iron-bearing “Klerf Schichten,” or overlapping micro-seepage of magmatic CH4 from the Eifel plume. Given the abundance of RWA nests on the landscape, their role as sources of microbial CH4 and biological indicators for abiotically-derived CH4 should be included in estimation of methane emissions that are contributing to climatic change.

Geogenic Gases in a Red Wood-Ant Nest and Soil in the Neuwied Basin, Germany 2016

Geochemical tracers of crustal fluids (CO2, He, Rn) provide a useful tool for the identification of buried fault structures. We acquired geochemical data during 7 months of continual sampling to identify causal processes underlying correlations between ambient air and degassing patterns of three gases (CO2, He, Rn) in a nest of red wood ants (Formica polyctena; “RWA”) and the soil at Goloring in the Neuwied Basin, a part of the East Eifel Volcanic Field (EEVF). We explored whether temporal relations and degassing rhythms in soil and nest gas concentrations could be indicators of hidden faults through which the gases migrate to the surface from depth. In nest gas, the coupled system of CO2-He and He concentrations exceeding atmospheric standards 2-3 fold suggested that RWA nests may be biological indicators of hidden degassing faults and fractures at small scales. Equivalently periodic degassing infradian rhythms in the RWA nest, soil, and three nearby mineral springs suggested NW-SE and NE-SW tectonic linkages. Because volcanic activity in the EEVF is dormant, more detailed information on the EEVF’s tectonic, magmatic, and degassing systems and its active tectonic fault zones are needed. Such data could provide additional insights into earthquake processes that are related to magmatic processes at the lower crust.

Double-crested Cormorant (Nannopterum auritum) nesting colony and environmental data in Biscayne National Park, Florida, USA (2009-2024)

Double-crested Cormorant (DCCO) nesting data were collected from colonies in Biscayne National Park (BISC) by the South Florida/Caribbean Inventory and Monitoring Network as part of the Colonial Nesting Birds vital sign monitoring program. Nesting data collected from 2010 to 2023 are included in this dataset. Salinity, chlorophyll, and ammonia data were acquired from sites monitored in the Surface Water Quality Monitoring Program managed by the Miami-Dade County Division of Environmental Management’s Department of Regulatory and Economic Resources (RER-DERM). Seagrass data were acquired from sites monitored by RER-DERM as a part of the Biscayne Bay Benthic Habitat Monitoring Program. Mangrove fish and epifauna data were acquired from the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Integrated Biscayne Bay Ecological Assessment and Monitoring Project (IBBEAM). Environmental data (salinity, chlorophyll, ammonia, seagrass, mangrove fish, and epifauna) were manipulated in order to examine the relationship between DCCO nesting trends and the BISC ecosystem. This data package is completed. Code included is pertinent to the methods described in "Assessment of ecosystem health in Biscayne National Park, Florida according to Double-crested Cormorant (Nannopterum auritum) nesting trends" by Taylor et al. 2025, currently submitted to and under review by Ecological Indicators.

City of Seattle, Seattle Public Utilities, Goshawk Nesting 1992 - Current, Cedar River Municipal Watershed and South Fork Tolt River Municipal Watershed, King County, WA

This data package contains American goshawk (Astur atricapillus) (formally known as Northern Goshawk [Accipiter gentilis]) survey data and nest location records, beginning in 1992 to present day, from the Cedar River Municipal Watershed and the South Fork Tolt River Municipal Watershed in King County, Washington, USA. Goshawks are classified as a sensitive species and are included in the Habitat Conservation Plan for the Cedar River Municipal Watershed. Surveys have been conducted periodically at historical nesting territories, depending on staff capacity and the potential for disturbances from planned infrastructure projects or forest thinning operations. These surveys were not based on a statistically valid random sampling design and did not always strictly follow established protocols. Survey methods primarily included broadcast surveys using a portable cassette player and megaphone but also involved active searches for nests or signs, as well as opportunistic detections during other forest management activities. At some nest sites, plot-level forest structure and characteristics were also documented. Nest productivity monitoring was generally not conducted, as the primary objective of the surveys was to minimize disturbance and prevent inadvertent destruction of nests.

Soil nutrients sampled in and around harvester ant nests in three habitats at the Jornada Basin LTER site, 1987

This dataset contains soil nutrient content measurements from harvester ant nests and reference soils in three nesting habitats at the Jornada Basin LTER site in 1987. The purpose of this investigation was to answer three general questions: 1. How does the modification of soil properties and the ratios of resources (e.g., water-N) by ants alter species assemblages of winter annual plants at the edge of the ant nests? 2. How does the "spring cleaning", clipping, predation or herbivory by ants affect success of the winter annual plants at the edge of ant nests? 3. Are there significant differences in the floristic assemblage and belowground standing crop (root biomass) between the edge of ant nest and the surrounding unaffected soils? Five ant nests and paired (non-nest) reference soils were sampled in three study locations. This dataset contains chemical analyses for the soil samples collected for each of the three sites, including total nitrogen, (ammonium, nitrate), inorganic phosphorus, and exchangeable cations (K+, Na+, Ca2+ and Mg2+). Also included is below ground biomass from five ant nests for each of the three sites. This study was completed in 1987.

Atlantic ghost crab (Ocypode quadrata) burrow counts at shorebird nests and randomly available sites on Metompkin Island, Virginia, 2022

Atlantic ghost crabs (Ocypode quadrata) are predators of beach-nesting shorebirds, their nests, and their chicks on the United States' Atlantic and Gulf coasts. Ghost crabs may also disturb birds, altering their foraging, habitat use, or nest and brood attendance patterns. Shorebird conservation strategies often involve predator and disturbance management to improve reproductive success, but efforts rarely target ghost crabs. Despite the threat to shorebird reproductive success, ghost crabs are a poorly understood part of the beach ecosystem and additional knowledge about ghost crab habitat selection is needed to inform shorebird conservation. We monitored ghost crab activity, defined as burrow abundance, throughout the shorebird breeding season on Metompkin Island, Virginia, an important breeding site for piping plovers (Charadrius melodus) and American oystercatchers (Haematopus palliatus). We counted burrows at shorebird nests and random points throughout the shorebird breeding season and tested whether ghost crab activity was greater at shorebird nest sites than random sites. We observed burrows at all nest sites in our study area (n = 63 nests), but found fewer burrows at nest sites than random sites. Ghost crabs may avoid shorebird nest sites due to aggressive defensive behaviors from incubating adults or differences in microhabitat characteristics selected by shorebirds versus ghost crabs. We also tested the effects of date, air temperature, habitat type, and shell cover on the abundance of ghost crab burrows. We found that while burrows were present across the barrier island landscape, there were more burrows in sandy habitats with sparse to little shell cover and in and behind the dunes relative to the beach and beach-front berm. Ghost crab activity increased later in the shorebird breeding season and as air temperature increased. Understanding when and where ghost crabs are most likely to be active in the landscape can aid decision-making to benefit imperi

CBS02 Nests of Grasshopper Sparrows on Konza Prairie

This data set contains data describing Grasshopper Sparrow nests prior to 2017, and after that, additionally many Dickcissels, Eastern Meadowlarks, and other songbirds.. These nests were primarily found by rope dragging but also on surveys (see RI Survey Data Set), flushing birds during other activities, and via behavioral observations. We described nest contents and monitored nest fate via visits every 2-3 day and by placing an iButton placed in the center of the nest flush with the bottom of the nest cup and comparing temperature traces to a second iButton placed outside of the nest to determine the timing of nest failure and other metrics of incubation/brooding behavior. We compiled counts of partial egg loss, partial brood loss, and estimated causes of nest failure, comparing the timing of these events with KNZ-collected meteorological data to determine the temporal association between rainstorms and nest abandonment. Missing values in character fields denoted by NA, and in numeric fields -999.

Chickadee breeding and parasite survey from Boulder, Sugarloaf, and MRS nest boxes, 2019 - 2021.

Between the years 2019 and 2021 chickadees were sampled at the NWT LTER as part of a broader study encompassing multiple projects (The Boulder Chickadee Study). Here we provide data on the presence of infections with haemosporidian parasites for Black-capped Chickadees (Poecile atricapillus) and Mountain Chickadees (P. gambeli). Haemosporidian parasites are a diverse group of apicomplexans that infect vertebrate hosts during a portion of their life cycle (Valkiunas, G. 2004). We screened chickadees for infections with three haemosporidian genera: Leucocytozoon, Plasmodium, and Haemoproteus using a nested PCR protocol (Hellgren et al. 2004). Both nestlings and adults were screened for parasites in 2019 and 2020 but we only screened adults in 2021. Chickadees sampled at NWT LTER did not have detectable infections with Haemoproteus or Plasmodium, however, we found multiple infections with Leucocytozoon. In conjunction with findings at other field sites, infections with Leucocytozoon parasites appear more common for adult chickadees sampled at higher elevation, while Plasmodium parasites were almost exclusively found in the city of Boulder (Theodosopoulos et al. 2023).

Adelie penguin 1:2 chick nest ratio, 1991-2024

The fundamental long-term objective of the seabird component of the Palmer LTER (PAL) has been to identify and understand the mechanistic processes that regulate the mean fitness (population growth rate) of regional penguin populations. Since the inception of PAL, Adélie penguin populations have effectively collapsed, gentoo penguin populations have increased dramatically and chinstrap penguin populations have remained relatively stable. These trends are spatially and temporally coherent with regional warming and decreasing sea ice duration. Adélie penguins are an ice-obligate polar species whose life history is intimately linked to the presence of sea ice, while chinstrap and gentoo penguins are ice-intolerant species whose life histories evolved in the sub-Antarctic, where sea ice is a less permanent feature of the marine ecosystem. The PAL study region includes five main islands on which Adélie penguin colonies have historically occurred, with each island containing a different number of spatially segregated sub-colonies. These colonies are censused to determine the total number of nests and chicks produced each year, and breeding success. Diet samples are acquired to understand diet composition (e.g., krill, fish) and krill length-frequencies. In general, krill constitute the most important component of the summer diets by mass of these three penguin species, but changes in PAL krill abundances have exhibited no long-term trends and thus far, have failed to explain the divergent patterns in penguin populations evident in our time series. Chick fledging masses are recorded as a cumulative measure of climate, weather, diet, and parental influences on chick health at the end of the breeding season. These data have provided valuable insights into the marine and terrestrial factors that influence Adélie penguin population fitness. No data were collected during the 2021-2022 season due to the Palmer Station pier rebuild.

A global database of bird nest traits

<p>The reproductive success of birds is closely tied to the characteristics of their nests. It is crucial to understand the distribution of nest traits across phylogenetic and geographic dimensions to gain insight into bird evolution and adaptation. Despite the extensive historical documentation on breeding behavior, a structured dataset describing bird nest characteristics has been lacking. To address this gap, we have compiled a comprehensive dataset that characterizes three ecologically and evolutionarily significant nest traits—site, structure, and attachment—for 9,248 bird species, representing all 36 orders and 241 out of the 244 families. By defining seven sites, seven structures, and four attachment types, we have systematically classified the nests of each species using information from text descriptions, photos, and videos sourced from online databases and literature. This nest traits dataset serves as a valuable addition to the existing body of morphological and ecological trait data for bird species, providing a useful resource for a wide range of avian macroecological and macroevolutionary research.</p>
