Dietary metabarcoding datasets for the southern meadow jumping mouse (Zapus luteus luteus)
<p>The southern meadow jumping mouse (<em>Zapus luteus luteus</em>) is Endangered in the US due to loss of riparian habitat and knowledge of diet can focus conservation efforts. Context and life stages of diet have been documented for other species of Zapus (seeds, insect larvae, and hypogeous fungi), possibly shifting toward greater diversity in seed predations prior to hibernation. Yet, challenges in field observation, thorough digestion, and lack of scalability have hindered a thorough survey of dietary taxonomies. We collected the feces of 165 <em>Z. l. luteus</em> from across the geographic range. Emphasizing granivorous diet, we used DNA metabarcoding to resolve its dietary taxonomies. With negligible impact of field contamination, we found a varied diet most frequently of graminoids, forbs, and lepidoptera. Detecting up to nine dietary taxa in individuals, <em>Z. l. luteus</em> consumed more and different combinations of plant taxa as they approached the known hibernation window. Our work emphasizes the importance of forbs and graminoids as the foundation of the diet, providing primary sustenance and habitat for insect prey. The breadth of different diet items they consume suggests plasticity in resource use, potentially accommodating diverse patterns of seed production throughout their active period. We also hypothesize that a peak in seed availability in the late season could play a role in their accumulation of pre-hibernation fat stores.</p>

Konza Prairie site, station Konza Prairie LTER watershed 001d, study of animal abundance of Zapus hudsonius in units of numberPerTransectLinePer4DayTrapSeason on a yearly timescale
The EcoTrends project was established in 2004 by Dr. Debra Peters (Jornada Basin LTER, USDA-ARS Jornada Experimental Range) and Dr. Ariel Lugo (Luquillo LTER, USDA-FS Luquillo Experimental Forest) to support the collection and analysis of long-term ecological datasets. The project is a large synthesis effort focused on improving the accessibility and use of long-term data. At present, there are ~50 state and federally funded research sites that are participating and contributing to the EcoTrends project, including all 26 Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) sites and sites funded by the USDA Agriculture Research Service (ARS), USDA Forest Service, US Department of Energy, US Geological Survey (USGS) and numerous universities. Data from the EcoTrends project are available through an exploratory web portal (http://www.ecotrends.info). This web portal enables the continuation of data compilation and accessibility by users through an interactive web application. Ongoing data compilation is updated through both manual and automatic processing as part of the LTER Provenance Aware Synthesis Tracking Architecture (PASTA). The web portal is a collaboration between the Jornada LTER and the LTER Network Office. The following dataset from Konza Prairie (KNZ) contains animal abundance of Zapus hudsonius measurements in numberPerTransectLinePer4DayTrapSeason units and were aggregated to a yearly timescale.

Zapus hudsonius luteus microsatellite and mtDNA datasets
<p><span>In the face of accelerated warming and drying, habitat specialists of riparian zones could be threatened with genetic erosion if their effective population sizes become small due to loss and fragmentation of habitat. The New Mexico meadow jumping mouse (<em>Zapus hudsonius luteus</em>) is Endangered due to a suite of disturbances to their riparian habitat but the degree of functional connectivity within and among the drainages they occupy is unknown. Using microsatellite and mtDNA, we examined the hypothesis of hydrologically-mediated gene flow (via riparian networks) by assessing structure, diversity, and the possibility of overland dispersal among disconnected watersheds (White Mountains, AZ). Both a priori and de novo structure supported stream-mediated gene flow. However, inferred clusters crossed watershed boundaries, and migration rates and dispersers suggest infrequent use of overland paths at nearby sub-drainages among each watershed. Analysis of mtDNA indicated that this was likely a long-term phenomenon, also suggesting that one of the watersheds (LCR) may have been more historically diverse than its contemporary snapshot (nuDNA). Our analysis led us to suspect fragmentation in its eastern fork, an area most impacted by human development. We conclude that the boundaries of drainages affect the White Mountains population structure but short, cryptic, overland paths among them likely play a role in replenishing genetic diversity. We also report an extension to the species longevity from 2 to 4 years from genetic recaptures during our six-year study period.</span></p>
