This dataset includes image stacks, annotated counts, and ground-truth masks from two high-resolution sediment cores extracted from Laguna Pallcacocha, in El Cajas National Park, Ecuadorian Andes by Moy et al. (2002) and Hagemans et al. (2021). The first core (PAL 1999, from Moy et al. (2002)) extends through the Holocene (11,600 cal. yr. BP - present). There are a total of 900 annotated image stacks and masks in the PAL 1999 domain. The second core (PAL IV, from Hagemans et al. (2021)) captures the 20th century. There are 2986 annotated image stacks and masks in the PAL IV domain.
Different microscopes and annotations tools were used to image and annotate each core and there are corresponding differences in naming conventions and file formats. Thus, we organized our data separately for the PAL 1999 and the PAL IV domains. The three letter codes used to label our pollen annotations are in the file: “Pollen_Identification_Codes.xlsx”.
Both domain directories contain:
• Image stacks organized by subdirectory
• Annotations within each image stack directory, containing specimen identifications using a three letter code and coordinates defining bounding boxes or circles
• Ground-truth distance-transform masks for each image stack
The zip file "bestValModel_encoder.paramOnly.zip" is the trained pollen detection model produced from the images and annotations in this dataset.

This dataset includes a total of 16 images of 2 extant species of Podocarpus (Podocarpaceae) and 23 images of fossil specimens of the morphogenus Podocarpidites.
The images were taken using a Zeiss LSM 880 microscope with Airyscan confocal superresolution at 630x magnification (63x/NA 1.4 oil DIC). The images are in the original CZI file format. They can be opened using Zeiss propriety software (Zen, Zen lite) or open microscopy software, such as ImageJ. More information on how to open CZI files can be found here: [https://www.zeiss.com/microscopy/us/products/software/zeiss-zen/czi-image-file-format.html]
For Podocarpus (modern specimens):
Each folder is labelled by genus and contain all images corresponding to that genus. Detailed information about the folders, files, and specimens can be found in the Excel file "METADATA_Podocarpus_extant.csv". This file includes metadata on: species, slide ID, collection, folder name file name and notes.
Images are of pollen grains from slides in the Florida Museum of Natural History collections.
For Podocarpidites (fossil specimens):
Each image is named after the sample from which it was derived. Detailed information about the specimens can be found in the Excel file "METADATA_ Podocarpidites_fossil.csv". This file includes metadata: the fossil type (Taxon), the slide and sample name (Slide Info), the location of the sample locality (Country, Latitude, Longitude), the age of the sample (Min age, Max age), the location of the specimen on the sample slide (England Finder coordinates), and the image file name.
Images are of fossil pollen from slides in Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute collections.

This dataset contains Raman spectra, each acquired from an individual, living, cell entrapped within a soft or stiff gelatin methacrylate hydrogel or from a cell-free region of the hydrogel sample. Spectra were acquired from the following cell types: Madin-Darby Canine Kidney cell (MDCK); Chinese hamster ovary cell (CHO-K1); transfected CHO-K1 cell that expressed the SNAP-tag and HaloTag reporter proteins fused to an organelle-specific protein (CHO-T); human monocyte-like cell (THP-1); inactive macrophage-like (M0-like); active anti-inflammatory macrophage-like (M2-like), pro/anti-inflammatory macrophage-like (M1/M2-like). These spectra are useful for identifying whether the hydrogel matrix obscures the Raman spectral signatures that are characteristic of each of these cell types.

Over the past 15 years, soybean seed yield response to season-long elevated O3 concentrations [O3] and to year-to-year weather conditions was studied using free-air O3 concentration enrichment (O3-FACE) in the field at the SoyFACE facility in Central Illinois. Elevated [O3] significantly reduced seed yield across cultivars and years. However, our results quantitatively demonstrate that weather conditions, including soil water availability and air temperature, did not alter yield sensitivity to elevated [O3] in soybean.

This is the core data for RELIX, a dataset of vascular plant species presence for 353 prairie remnants in the Midwestern United States and associated dataset of prairie remnant metadata. The primary data file contains a list of the vascular plant species observed in the prairie remnants, as well as a metadata table with more information about the prairie remnant in question and the species list itself. The data was compiled from a variety of written sources, private and published, chronicling observations made between the mid-twentieth century and 2021. It also contains a supplementary data table of vascular plant species observed in at least 8 of the prairie remnants in RELIX, as well as a list of acknowledgements for the associated manuscript.

The included files are the alignments of DNA or amino acid sequences used for phylogenetic analyses of Auchenorrhyncha (Insecta: Hemiptera) in the manuscript by Bin et al. submitted to the journal “Systematic Entomology.” The files are plain text in either FASTA (.fa or .fas suffix) or PHYLIP (.phy suffix) format. Matrix0 is the set of all loci after multiple sequence alignment and trimming (hereafter called). Matrix1 consists of loci having 75% average bootstrap support and 80% taxon completeness (hereafter called Matrix1). Matrix2 consists of loci having 75% average bootstrap support and 95% completeness. Matrix2_nt12 is the same as Matrix2 but with third codon positions excluded. More details on how the datasets were compiled is provided in the Methods section of the manuscript file, also included as a PDF. Supplemental figures for the submitted manuscript are also provided as a PDF for additional information.

Dataset used for the paper entitled "Morphological differences between wild and game-farm Mallards in North America".
Large-scale releases of domesticated, game-farm Mallards to supplement wild populations have resulted in wide-spread introgressive hybridization that changed the genetic constitution of wild populations in eastern North America. The resulting gene flow is well-documented between game-farm and wild Mallards, but the mechanistic consequences from such interactions remain unknown in North America. We provide the first study to characterize and investigate potential differences in morphology between genetically known, wild and game-farm Mallards in North America. We used nine morphological measurements to discriminate between wild and game-farm Mallards with 96% accuracy. Compared to their wild counterparts, game-farm Mallards had longer bodies and tarsi, shorter heads and wings, and shorter, wider, and taller bills. The nail on the end of the bill of game-farm Mallards was longer, and game-farm Mallard bills had a greater lamellae:bill length ratio than wild Mallards. Differences in body morphologies between wild and game-farm Mallards are consistent with an artificial, terrestrial life whereby game-farm Mallards are fed pelleted foods resulting in artificial selection for a more “goose-like” bill. We posit that 1) game-farm Mallards have diverged from their wild ancestral traits of flying and filter feeding towards becoming optimized to run and peck for food; 2) game-farm morphological traits optimized over the last 400 years in domestic environments are likely to be maladaptive in the wild; and 3) the introgression of such traits into wild populations is likely to reduce fitness. Understanding effects of game-farm Mallard introgression requires analysis of various game-farm × wild hybrid generations to determine how domestically-derived traits persist or diminish with each generation.

This dataset contains measurements of water loss as white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) retroypharyngeal lymph nodes air-dried in a refrigerator for 31 days. Daily weights for lymph nodes are recorded every 24 hours, as are the variables "firmness" and "surface wetness". "Firmness" is a categorical variable measuring how much the tissue deforms to the touch (soft, medium, or hard). "Surface wetness" is the amount of visible moisture on the outside of the lymph node (all, some, or none). Lymph node weights were measured until their weights stabilized for 3 consecutive days at two decimal places (ex. 3.02, 3.02, 3.02) or until the weights fluctuated only by 0.01 (ex. 3.02, 3.03, 3.02). Lymph nodes were from northern Illinois white-tailed deer collected as part of the Illinois Department of Natural Resources' ongoing chronic wasting disease (CWD) management efforts.
