Enregistrements de données

Les données de cette ressource occurrence ont été publiées sous forme d'une Archive Darwin Core (Darwin Core Archive ou DwC-A), le format standard pour partager des données de biodiversité en tant qu'ensemble d'un ou plusieurs tableurs de données. Le tableur de données du cœur de standard (core) contient 476 enregistrements.

2 tableurs de données d'extension existent également. Un enregistrement d'extension fournit des informations supplémentaires sur un enregistrement du cœur de standard (core). Le nombre d'enregistrements dans chaque tableur de données d'extension est illustré ci-dessous.

Cet IPT archive les données et sert donc de dépôt de données. Les données et métadonnées de la ressource sont disponibles pour téléchargement dans la section téléchargements. Le tableau des versions liste les autres versions de chaque ressource rendues disponibles de façon publique et permet de tracer les modifications apportées à la ressource au fil du temps.

Méthodes d'échantillonnage

We selected 23 lakes to survey for elodea in 2023, mostly basing our selections on the prioritization of the Alaska Department of Fish and Game’s Invasive Species Lake Prioritization (Alaska Department of Fish and Game, 2022). We also took into account recent pike surveys, avoiding lakes that had been surveyed for pike in the last 10 years or where surveys are planned for 2024. We collaboratively planned with our partners, openly sharing our survey schedule. We sought to keep the number of sites sampled per lake to between 30 and 60 sampling locations per lake. We related the range of lake perimeters in our study area to this range of sample sizes with the linear formula n = mp + b, where where n was the sample size, m was 2.4 km-1, p was the perimeter in km, and b was 27. This resulted in a range of sample sizes of 30 to 63 sampling locations per lake. To select sampling points we used a Quarto document that called R, version 4.2.3 (R Core Team, 2023) and used the R packages lwgeom, version 0.2-13 (Pebesma, 2023) and sf, version 1.0-12 (Pebesma, 2018; Pebesma and Bivand, 2023). We divided the lake perimeters into segments, one segment corresponding to a target sampling location in each lake. Our rake throw survey methods were similar to the examples of Fulkerson (2022a) and Fulkerson (2022b).

Description des étapes de la méthode:

1. Within each pre-determined lake segment, we selected a location where elodea would be most likely to occur based on our previous experience surveying for elodea on the Kenai Peninsula. Within the larger segments, we selected protected bays and avoided exposed points. We positioned our boat off of shore, usually a little farther from shore than the limit of dense emergent vegetation, often in about 1–2 m water depth.
2. From the selected point the two observers threw the two rakes perpendicular to the shoreline: one rake thrown toward shore and the other out toward the center of the lake. After allowing the rakes to contact the bottom, both observers slowly and simultaneously pulled in the rakes, dragging them over the substrate. The rakes were carefully brought onto the boat, photographed, and the presence or absence of elodea was recorded. We also recorded depth, substrate types, and the presence of other aquatic plant species.
