<p>Acknowledgement of the Makah Tribal Council for permission to allow these data to be collected on their lands should be made where possible when the data are an essential part of the publication.</p>

<p>These data series are being actively extended and analyzed by the data provider, and interested investigators may wish to contact the data provider regarding these data, the ecological context under which these data were collected, whether planned use of these data represents redundant efforts, and any details of the data collection process the data provider may have inadvertently neglected to include here. As a rule of thumb for any data made publicly available, including these, investigators intending to use these data for publication should consider the considerable effort made to gather and organize them, and whether publication would reasonably be possible without including these data. If not, then it may be appropriate to explore involving the author in the publication process.</p>
