Kentucky bluegrass growth curves and nutritive values

    Dataset describes Kentucky bluegrass production and height throughout two growing seasons in a rangeland system in the northern Great Plains. One year of sampling was during a drought year and one year had average precipitation. 2017 was a drought year and 2018 was an average precipitation year. Dataset also includes the nutritive value of Kentucky bluegrass throughout the season. Dataset can be used for modeling or for grazing planning.

    CameraTrapDetectoR Pig Model

      This dataset contains the model weights, architecture, and class label dictionary for CameraTrapDetectoR pig-only model version 1. The model architecture is a FasterRCNN object detection model with a ResNet50 backbone. This model identifies and counts wild pigs in camera trap images. It also includes categories for non-pig detections (animal, human, or vehicle), and a background class.

      CameraTrapDetectoR General Model

        This dataset contains the model weights, architecture, and class label dictionary for CameraTrapDetectoR general model version 1. The model architecture is a FasterRCNN object detection model with a ResNet50 backbone. This model identifies and counts mammals and birds in camera trap images, and includes categories for humans, vehicles, and a background class.

        CameraTrapDetectoR Family Model

          This dataset contains the model weights, architecture, and class label dictionary for CameraTrapDetectoR family model version 1. The model architecture is a FasterRCNN object detection model with a ResNet50 backbone. This model identifies and counts animals from 33 North American taxonomic families in camera trap images, including humans vehicles and a background class.

          CameraTrapDetectoR Species Model

            CameraTrapDetectoR is an R package that uses deep learning computer vision models to automatically detect, count, and classify common North American domestic and wild species in camera trap images. Data for all versions of the taxonomic species model are located in this dataset. This dataset contains model weights, architectures, and class label dictionaries for the CameraTrapDetectoR species models.

            Data from: Thermal tolerance regulates foraging behavior of ants

              Data files for manuscript titled "Thermal tolerance regulates foraging behavior of ants". Over two years, we tracked 322 foraging trips from 15 red harvester ant colonies in a mixed grass prairie of southwestern Oklahoma. During each trip, we measured surface temperature, distance, time, worker mass, seed mass, and foraging tempo (i.e. running speed). To assess P. barbatus heat tolerance, we measured CTmax and knock-down resistance of field-collected workers in the lab.

              Data from: Estimation of pool construction and technical error

                Animals were incorporated into pools in different proportions to estimate error and evaluate factors influencing error. Animals were incorporated into 2 types of pools, sub-pools and super pools. Within phenotype, liver abscess or normal, 16 animals were combined into 4 sub-pools, 4 animals per sub-pool in parts of 1:2:3:4. Sub-pools were constructed based on crushed frozen liver tissue mass. Within phenotype, 4 sub-pools were incorporated into 2 super pools in parts of 1:2:3:4 for super pool 1 and 3:4:1:2 for super pool 2. Super pools were made based on DNA quantity. Errors in DNA quantification would create error in forming super pools from sub-pools and variation in cell content or DNA content of liver tissue would result in error in combining sub-pools from animals.

                Data from: Profile of the Spleen Transcriptome in Beef Steers with Variation in Gain and Feed Intake

                  This study examines the spleen in beef steers, a major lymphatic organ near the digestive tract, to determine whether it was also influencing individual feed efficiency status through immune responses. A total of 1216 genes were identified as differentially expressed. Data suggests the splenic contribution to some of the underlying variation among gain and intake may be a result of immune function and stress response. In addition, some of the differences in immune response functions may be related to gene copy number.

                  Data From: Evaluating accuracy of DNA pool construction based on leukocyte counts versus two common DNA quantification methods

                    This dataset was generated to determine the accuracy of pool construction based on leukocyte counts compared to two common DNA quantification methods. The dataset includes pooling allele frequencies (PAF) for all pools and individual animals computed from normalized intensities for red (X) and green (Y); PAF = X/(X+Y), genotypes or number of copies of B(green) allele (0,1,2), and definitions for each sample.
