A key limitation to general insights about assemblage structure is the availability of data that are collected at a small spatial grain (local assemblages) and a large spatial extent (global coverage). Here, we present published and unpublished data from 51,388 ant abundance and occurrence records of more than 2693 species and 7953 morphospecies from local assemblages collected at 4212 locations around the world. Ants were selected because they are diverse and abundant globally, comprise a large fraction of animal biomass in most terrestrial communities, and are key contributors to a range of ecosystem functions. Data were collected between 1949 and 2014, and include, for each geo-referenced sampling site, both the identity of the ants collected and details of sampling design, habitat type and degree of disturbance. The aim of compiling this dataset was to provide comprehensive species abundance data in order to test relationships between assemblage structure and environmental and biogeographic factors. Data were collected using a variety of standardised methods, such as pitfall and Winkler traps, and will be valuable for studies investigating large-scale forces structuring local assemblages. Understanding such relationships is particularly critical under current rates of global change. We encourage authors holding additional data on systematically collected ant assemblages, especially those in dry and cold, and remote areas, to contact us and contribute their data to this growing dataset.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Ecological Society of America","doi":"10.1002/ecy.1682","usgsCitation":"Gibb, H., Dunn, R.R., Sanders, N.J., Grossman, B.F., Photakis, M., Abril,

Contaminant concentrations in nestlings from AOCs were compared with those in nestlings from nearby non-AOC sites. Polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) and polybrominated diphenyl ether concentrations in tree swallow nestling carcasses at 30% and 33% of AOCs, respectively, were below the mean concentration for non-AOCs. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) concentrations in nestling stomach contents and perfluorinated compound concentrations in nestling plasma at 67% and 64% of AOCs, respectively, were below the mean concentration for non-AOCs. Concentrations of PCBs in nestling carcasses were elevated at some AOCs but modest compared with highly PCB-contaminated sites where reproductive effects have been documented. Concentrations of PAHs in diet were sufficiently elevated at some AOCs to elicit a measurable physiological response. Among AOCs, concentrations of the perfluorinated compound perfluorooctane sulfonate in plasma were the highest on the River Raisin (MI, USA; geometric mean 330 ng/mL) but well below an estimated toxicity reference value (1700 ng/mL). Both PAH and PCB concentrations in nestling stomach contents and PCBs in carcasses were significantly correlated with concentrations in sediment previously reported, thereby reinforcing the utility of tree swallows to assess bioavailability of sediment contamination.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry","doi":"10.1002/etc.3598","usgsCitation":"Custer, T.W., Custer, C.M., Dummer, P.M., Goldberg, D.R., Franson, J.C., and Erickson, R.A., 2017, Organic contamination in tree swallow (<i>Tachycineta bicolor</i>) nestlings at United States and binational great Lakes Areas of Concern: Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, v. 36, no. 3, p. 735-748, https://doi.org/10.1002/etc.3598.","productDescription":"14 p.","startPage":"735","endPage":"748","ipdsId":"IP-073356","costCenters":[{"id":456,"text":"National Wildlife Health Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":606,"text":"Upper Midwest Environmental Sciences Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":332180,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"36","issue":"3","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":6,"text":"Columbus PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2016-08-19","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5853ba38e4b0e2663625f2aa","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Custer, Thomas W. 0000-0003-3170-6519 tcuster@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3170-6519","contributorId":2835,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Custer","given":"Thomas","email":"tcuster@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"W.","affiliations":[{"id":606,"text":"Upper Midwest Environmental Sciences Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":655975,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Custer, Christine M. 0000-0003-0500-1582 ccuster@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0500-1582","contributorId":1143,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Custer","given":"Christine","email":"ccuster@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[{"id":606,"text":"Upper Midwest Environmental Sciences Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":655976,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Dummer, Paul M. 0000-0002-2055-9480 pdummer@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2055-9480","contributorId":3015,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Dummer","given":"Paul","email":"pdummer@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[{"id":606,"text":"Upper Midwest Environmental Sciences Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":655977,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Goldberg, Diana R. 0000-0001-8540-8512 dgoldberg@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8540-8512","contributorId":5739,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Goldberg","given":"Diana","email":"dgoldberg@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"R.","affiliations":[{"id":456,"text":"National Wildlife Health Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":655978,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Franson, J.

This issue is particularly relevant for studies using statistical downscaling of atmospheric fields to local wave conditions, which are often multimodal in large ocean basins (e.g. the Pacific). Swell may be generated in vastly different wave generation regions, yielding complex wave spectra that are inadequately represented by a single set of bulk wave parameters. Furthermore, the relationship between atmospheric systems and local wave conditions is complicated by variations in arrival time of wave groups from different parts of the basin. Here, we address these two challenges by improving upon the spatiotemporal definition of the atmospheric predictor used in statistical downscaling of local wave climate. The improved methodology separates the local wave spectrum into “wave families,” defined by spectral peaks and discrete generation regions, and relates atmospheric conditions in distant regions of the ocean basin to local wave conditions by incorporating travel times computed from effective energy flux across the ocean basin. When applied to locations with multimodal wave spectra, including Southern California and Trujillo, Peru, the new methodology improves the ability of the statistical model to project significant wave height, peak period, and direction for each wave family, retaining more information from the full wave spectrum. This work is the base of statistical downscaling by weather types, which has recently been applied to coastal flooding and morphodynamic applications.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"American Meteorological Society","publisherLocation":"Boston, MA","doi":"10.1175/JPO-D-16-0191.1","usgsCitation":"Hegermiller, C., Antolinez, J.A., Rueda, A.C., Camus, P., Perez, J., Erikson, L.H., Barnard, P., and Mendez, F.J., 2017, A multimodal wave spectrum-based approach for statistical downscaling of local wave climate: Journal of Physical Oceanography, v. 47, p. 375-386, https://doi.org/10.1175/JPO-D-16-0191.1.","productDescription":"12 p.","startPage":"375","endPage":"386","ipdsId":"IP-079831","costCenters":[{"id":520,"text":"Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":461817,"rank":0,"type":{"id":41,"text":"Open Access External Repository Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1175/jpo-d-16-0191.1","text":"External Repository"},{"id":332172,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"47","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":14,"text":"Menlo Park PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5853ba36e4b0e2663625f2a4","chorus":{"doi":"10.1175/jpo-d-16-0191.1","url":"http://dx.doi.org/10.1175/jpo-d-16-0191.1","publisher":"American Meteorological Society","authors":"Hegermiller C.

The collapse of pelagic fish species in the Sacramento–San Joaquin Delta, California, has triggered a need to better understand factors that drive their distribution and abundance. A study was conducted in summer–fall 2014 in an attempt to identify physical and biological habitat conditions that drive the abundance and distribution of pelagic species in the northern region of the system. The study was conducted in the three largest channels in the northern Sacramento–San Joaquin Delta by dimension, volume, and flow capacity. The pelagic community was dominated by three nonnative species, Siberian prawn <i>Exopalaemon modestus</i>, which comprised 56% of the total number of organisms, and two fish species, Threadfin Shad <i>Dorosoma petenense</i> and Mississippi Silversides <i>Menidia audens</i>, which together comprised 43% of the total number of organisms. Total fish and total shrimp abundance were sensitive to the most extreme values of turbidity and temperature encountered and positively associated with total zooplankton biomass. The results suggested that habitat conditions in terminal channels, historically a common feature on the landscape, support higher abundances of pelagic species and zooplankton than open-ended channels. These results provide resource managers with useful information on the habitat associations of pelagic species and on how the future distribution and abundance of pelagic species will likely change in response to climate or other ecological factors.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"American Fisheries Society","doi":"10.1080/00028487.2016.1243577","usgsCitation":"Feyrer, F.V., Slater, S.B., Portz, D.E., Odom, D., Morgan-King, T.L., and Brown, L.R., 2017, Pelagic nekton abundance and distribution in the northern Sacramento–San Joaquin Delta, California: Transactions of the American Fisheries Society, v. 146, no. 1, p. 128-135, https://doi.org/10.1080/00028487.2016.1243577.","productDescription":"8 p.","startPage":"128","endPage":"135","ipdsId":"IP-078562","costCenters":[{"id":154,"text":"California Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":470196,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1080/00028487.2016.1243577","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":333325,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"California","otherGeospatial":"Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -122,\n              38\n            ],\n            [\n              -122,\n              38.6\n            ],\n            [\n              -121.5,\n              38.6\n            ],\n            [\n              -121.5,\n              38\n            ],\n            [\n              -122,\n              38\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"146","issue":"1","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":1,"text":"Sacramento PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2016-12-09","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"58808d3de4b01dfadfff152d","chorus":{"doi":"10.1080/00028487.2016.1243577","url":"http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/00028487.2016.1243577","publisher":"Informa UK Limited","authors":"Feyrer Frederick, Slater Steven B., Portz Donald E., Odom Darren, Morgan-King Tara, Brown Larry R.","journalName":"Transactions of the American Fisheries Society","publicationDate":"12/9/2016"},"contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Feyrer, Frederick V. 0000-0003-1253-2349 ffeyrer@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1253-2349","contributorId":178379,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Feyrer","given":"Frederick","email":"ffeyrer@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"V.","affiliations":[{"id":154,"text":"California Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":658661,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Slater, Steven B.","contributorId":178380,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Slater","given":"Steven","email":"","middleInitial":"B.","affiliations":[{"id":6952,"text":"California Department of Fish and Wildlife","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":658662,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Portz, Donald E.","contributorId":178381,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Portz","given":"Donald","email":"","middleInitial":"E.","affiliations":[{"id":27970,"text":"Bureau of Reclamation, Denver, CO","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":658663,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Odom, Darren","contributorId":178382,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Odom","given":"Darren","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":28043,"text":"Sureworks","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":658664,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Morgan-King, Tara L. 0000-0001-5632-5232 tamorgan@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5632-5232","contributorId":554,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Morgan-King","given":"Tara","email":"tamorgan@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[{"id":154,"text":"California Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":658665,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Brown, Larry R. 0000-0001-6702-4531 lrbrown@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6702-4531","contributorId":1717,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Brown","given":"Larry","email":"lrbrown@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"R.","affiliations":[{"id":154,"text":"California Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":658666,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6}]}}

Au (including 183,930&nbsp;oz. Au equiv. of Cu ore). It is characterized by a large hydrothermal alteration zone which is interpreted to represent the lithocap of a porphyry system. The innermost zone of the lithocap is constituted by vuggy quartz with advanced argillic alteration locally developed on its margin, enclosed by a well-developed zone of argillic alteration, grading to an external halo of propylitic alteration. The mineralization occurs in the form of disseminations and microveinlets of pyrite, chalcopyrite, enargite, tennantite, and trace sphalerite, crosscut by quartz, barite, pyrite, chalcopyrite, sphalerite and galena veins.</p><p id=\"sp0090\">Microthermometric analyses of two phase (L&nbsp;+&nbsp;V) secondary fluid inclusions in igneous quartz phenocrysts in vuggy quartz and advanced argillically altered samples indicate low temperature (140–216&nbsp;°C) and low salinity (0.5–4.8&nbsp;wt% NaCl eq.) fluids, with hotter and more saline fluids identified in the east half of the deposit (Cerro Quema area).</p><p id=\"sp0095\">Stable isotope analyses (S, O, H) were performed on mineralization and alteration minerals, including pyrite, chalcopyrite, enargite, alunite, barite, kaolinite, dickite and vuggy quartz. The range of δ<sup>34</sup>S of sulfides is from −&nbsp;4.8 to −&nbsp;12.7‰, whereas δ<sup>34</sup>S of sulfates range from 14.1 to 17.4‰. The estimated δ<sup>34</sup>S<sub>ΣS</sub> of the hydrothermal fluid is −&nbsp;0.5‰. Within the advanced argillic altered zone the δ<sup>34</sup>S values of sulfides and sulfates are interpreted to reflect isotopic equilibrium at temperatures of ~&nbsp;240&nbsp;°C. The δ<sup>18</sup>O values of vuggy quartz range from 9.0 to 17.5‰, and the δ<sup>18</sup>O values estimated for the vuggy quartz-forming fluid range from −&nbsp;2.3 to 3.0‰, indicating that it precipitated from mixing of magmatic fluids with surficial fluids.

Based on δ<sup>18</sup>O and δD, two types of kaolinite/dickite can be distinguished, a supergene type and a hypogene type. Combined, the analytical data indicate that the Cerro Quema deposit formed from magmatic-hydrothermal fluids derived from a porphyry copper-like intrusion located at depth likely towards the east of the deposit. The combination of stable isotope geochemistry and fluid inclusion analysis may provide useful exploration vectors for porphyry copper targets in the high sulfidation/lithocap environment.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"Elsevier","doi":"10.1016/j.oregeorev.2016.09.008","usgsCitation":"Corral, I., Cardellach, E., Corbella, M., Canals, A., Griera, A., Gomez-Gras, D., and Johnson, C.A., 2017, Origin and evolution of mineralizing fluids and exploration of the Cerro Quema Au-Cu deposit (Azuero Peninsula, Panama) from a fluid inclusion and stable isotope perspective: Ore Geology Reviews, v. 80, p. 947-960, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.oregeorev.2016.09.008.","productDescription":"14 p.","startPage":"947","endPage":"960","ipdsId":"IP-074764","costCenters":[{"id":211,"text":"Crustal Geophysics and Geochemistry Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":470197,"rank":0,"type":{"id":41,"text":"Open Access External Repository Page"},"url":"https://ddd.uab.cat/record/289476","text":"External Repository"},{"id":331638,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"Panama","otherGeospatial":"Azuero Peninsula","volume":"80","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":2,"text":"Denver PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"58492dede4b06d80b7b09390","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Corral, Isaac","contributorId":177243,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Corral","given":"Isaac","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":655121,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Cardellach, Esteve","contributorId":177244,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Cardellach","given":"Esteve","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":655122,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Corbella, Merce","contributorId":177245,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Corbella","given":"Merce","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":655123,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Canals, Angels","contributorId":177246,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Canals","given":"Angels","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":655124,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Griera, Albert","contributorId":177247,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Griera","given":"Albert","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":655125,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Gomez-Gras, David","contributorId":177248,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Gomez-Gras","given":"David","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":655126,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6},{"text":"Johnson, Craig A. 0000-0002-1334-2996 cjohnso@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1334-2996","contributorId":909,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Johnson","given":"Craig","email":"cjohnso@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[{"id":171,"text":"Central Mineral and Environmental Resources Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":35995,"text":"Geology, Geophysics, and Geochemistry Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":211,"text":"Crustal Geophysics and Geochemistry Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":655127,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":7}]}}

Furthermore, climate change-induced sea-level rise (SLR) and land subsidence also affect estuarine water quality by changing salinity, circulation, stratification, sedimentation, erosion, residence time, and other physical and ecological processes. However, little is known about how the magnitudes and spatial and temporal patterns in estuarine water quality variables will change in response to freshwater and sediment management in the context of future SLR. In this study, we applied the Delft3D model that couples hydrodynamics and water quality processes to examine the spatial and temporal variations of salinity, total suspended solids, and chlorophyll-α concentration in response to small (142&nbsp;m</span><sup>3</sup><span>&nbsp;s</span><sup>−1</sup><span>) and large (7080&nbsp;m</span><sup>3</sup><span>&nbsp;s</span><sup>−1</sup><span>) Mississippi River (MR) diversions under low (0.38&nbsp;m) and high (1.44&nbsp;m) relative SLR (RSLR = eustatic SLR + subsidence) scenarios in the Breton Sound Estuary, Louisiana, USA. The hydrodynamics and water quality model were calibrated and validated via field observations at multiple stations across the estuary. Model results indicate that the large MR diversion would significantly affect the magnitude and spatial and temporal patterns of the studied water quality variables across the entire estuary, whereas the small diversion tends to influence water quality only in small areas near the diversion. RSLR would also play a significant role on the spatial heterogeneity in estuary water quality by acting as an opposite force to river diversions; however, RSLR plays a greater role than the small-scale diversion on the magnitude and spatial pattern of the water quality parameters in this deltaic estuary.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Estuarine Research Federation","doi":"10.1007/s12237-016-0197-7","usgsCitation":"Wang, H., Chen, Q., Hu, K., and LaPeyre, M.K., 2017, A modeling study of the impacts of Mississippi River diversion and sea-level rise on water quality of a deltaic estuary: Estuaries and Coasts, v. 40, no. 4, p. 1028-1054, https://doi.org/10.1007/s12237-016-0197-7.","productDescription":"27 p.","startPage":"1028","endPage":"1054","ipdsId":"IP-071580","costCenters":[{"id":17705,"text":"Wetland and Aquatic Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":331618,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Louisiana","otherGeospatial":"Breton Sound Estuary, Mississippi River","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -89.99725341796874,\n              29.6594160549124\n            ],\n            [\n              -90.0494384765625,\n              29.781065645248304\n            ],\n            [\n              -89.93682861328125,\n              29.933515040088093\n            ],\n            [\n              -89.033203125,\n              29.64270755090439\n            ],\n            [\n              -89.285888671875,\n              29.188135030802496\n            ],\n            [\n              -89.99725341796874,\n              29.6594160549124\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"40","issue":"4","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":5,"text":"Lafayette PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2016-12-05","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"58492df0e4b06d80b7b0939a","chorus":{"doi":"10.1007/s12237-016-0197-7","url":"http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s12237-016-0197-7","publisher":"Springer Nature","authors":"Wang Hongqing, Chen Qin, Hu Kelin, La Peyre Megan K.","journalName":"Estuaries and Coasts","publicationDate":"12/5/2016","auditedOn":"2/15/2017","publiclyAccessibleDate":"12/5/2016"},"contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Wang, Hongqing 0000-0002-2977-7732 wangh@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2977-7732","contributorId":140432,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Wang","given":"Hongqing","email":"wangh@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":17705,"text":"Wetland and Aquatic Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":455,"text":"National Wetlands Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":655062,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Chen, Q. 0000-0002-6540-8758","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6540-8758","contributorId":56532,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Chen","given":"Q.","affiliations":[{"id":38331,"text":"Northeastern University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":true,"id":655063,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Hu, Kelin","contributorId":177218,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Hu","given":"Kelin","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":655064,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"LaPeyre, Megan K. 0000-0001-9936-2252 mlapeyre@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9936-2252","contributorId":585,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"LaPeyre","given":"Megan","email":"mlapeyre@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"K.","affiliations":[{"id":198,"text":"Coop Res Unit Atlanta","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":17705,"text":"Wetland and Aquatic Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":655065,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4}]}}

To understand the likely sources and toxicity of PAHs in Milwaukee-area streams, streambed sediment samples from 40 sites and parking lot dust samples from 6 sites were analyzed for 38 parent PAHs and 25 alkylated PAHs. Diagnostic ratios, profile correlations, principal components analysis, source-receptor modeling, and mass fractions analysis were used to identify potential PAH sources to streambed sediment samples, and land-use analysis was used to relate streambed sediment PAH concentrations to different urban-related land uses. On the basis of this multiple lines-of-evidence approach, coal-tar pavement sealant was indicated as the primary source of PAHs in a majority of streambed sediment samples, contributing an estimated 77% of total PAHs to samples, on average.

The time-mean behavior of the shear layer is typically used to characterize cavity flow, and was estimated using vorticity thickness to quantify the growth rate of the shear layer horizontally across the pockmark. Estimated positive vorticity thickness spreading rates are consistent with cavity flow predictions, and occur at largely different rates between the two pockmarks. Previously modeled flow (Brothers et al. 2011</span><span>) and laboratory measurements (Pau et al. 2014</span><span>) over pockmarks of similar geometry to those examined herein are also qualitatively consistent with cavity flow circulation, suggesting that cavity flow may be a good first-order flow model for pockmarks in general.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Springer","doi":"10.1007/s00367-016-0473-3","usgsCitation":"Fandel, C.L., Lippmann, T.C., Foster, D.L., and Brothers, L., 2017, Observations of pockmark flow structure in Belfast Bay, Maine, Part 2: evidence for cavity flow: Geo-Marine Letters, v. 37, no. 1, p. 15-22, https://doi.org/10.1007/s00367-016-0473-3.","productDescription":"8 p.","startPage":"15","endPage":"22","ipdsId":"IP-075156","costCenters":[{"id":678,"text":"Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":331414,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Maine","otherGeospatial":"Belfast Bay","volume":"37","issue":"1","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2016-10-04","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"584144dae4b04fc80e507360","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Fandel, Christina L.","contributorId":177119,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Fandel","given":"Christina","email":"","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":654699,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Lippmann, Thomas C.","contributorId":177120,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Lippmann","given":"Thomas","email":"","middleInitial":"C.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":654700,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Foster, Diane L.","contributorId":177121,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Foster","given":"Diane","email":"","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":654701,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Brothers, Laura L. lbrothers@usgs.gov","contributorId":4502,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Brothers","given":"Laura L.","email":"lbrothers@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":678,"text":"Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":654702,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4}]}}

We also compared the performance of these five models to estimate trends from a long term monitoring program. We specifically estimated trends for two species of fish and four species of aquatic vegetation from the Upper Mississippi River system. We found that the simple linear regression had the best performance of all the given models because it was best able to recover parameters and had consistent numerical convergence. Conversely, the simple linear regression did the worst job estimating populations in a given year. The state-space models did not estimate trends well, but estimated population sizes best when the models converged.

Current approaches to connecting core conservation areas through corridors consider optimal corridor placement based on a single optimization goal: commonly, maximizing the movement for a target species across a network of protected areas. We show that designing corridors for single species based on purely ecological criteria leads to extremely expensive linkages that are suboptimal for multispecies connectivity objectives. Similarly, acquiring the least-expensive linkages leads to ecologically poor solutions. We developed algorithms for optimizing corridors for multispecies use given a specific budget. We applied our approach in western Montana to demonstrate how the solutions may be used to evaluate trade-offs in connectivity for 2 species with different habitat requirements, different core areas, and different conservation values under different budgets. We evaluated corridors that were optimal for each species individually and for both species jointly. Incorporating a budget constraint and jointly optimizing for both species resulted in corridors that were close to the individual species movement-potential optima but with substantial cost savings. Our approach produced corridors that were within 14% and 11% of the best possible corridor connectivity for grizzly bears </span><i>(Ursus arctos)</i><span> and wolverines </span><i>(Gulo gulo)</i><span>, respectively, and saved 75% of the cost. Similarly, joint optimization under a combined budget resulted in improved connectivity for both species relative to splitting the budget in 2 to optimize for each species individually. Our results demonstrate economies of scale and complementarities conservation planners can achieve by optimizing corridor designs for financial costs and for multiple species connectivity jointly. We believe that our approach will facilitate corridor conservation by reducing acquisition costs and by allowing derived corridors to more closely reflect conservation priorities.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Wiley","doi":"10.1111/cobi.12814","usgsCitation":"Dilkina, B., Houtman, R., Gomes, C.P., Montgomery, C.A., McKelvey, K., Kendall, K., Graves, T.A., Bernstein, R., and Schwartz, M.K., 2017, Trade-offs and efficiencies in optimal budget-constrained multispecies corridor networks: Conservation Biology, v. 31, no. 1, p. 192-202, https://doi.org/10.1111/cobi.12814.","productDescription":"11 p.","startPage":"192","endPage":"202","ipdsId":"IP-071094","costCenters":[{"id":481,"text":"Northern Rocky Mountain Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":331409,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"31","issue":"1","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2016-09-27","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"584144dbe4b04fc80e507366","chorus":{"doi":"10.1111/cobi.12814","url":"http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/cobi.12814","publisher":"Wiley-Blackwell","authors":"Dilkina Bistra, Houtman Rachel, Gomes Carla P., Montgomery Claire A., McKelvey Kevin S., Kendall Katherine, Graves Tabitha A., Bernstein Richard, Schwartz Michael K.","journalName":"Conservation Biology","publicationDate":"9/27/2016","publiclyAccessibleDate":"9/27/2016"},"contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Dilkina, Bistra","contributorId":177110,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Dilkina","given":"Bistra","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":660337,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Houtman, Rachel","contributorId":177111,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Houtman","given":"Rachel","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":654676,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Gomes, Carla P.","contributorId":177112,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Gomes","given":"Carla","email":"","middleInitial":"P.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":654677,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Montgomery, Claire A.","contributorId":177113,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Montgomery","given":"Claire","email":"","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":654678,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"McKelvey, Kevin","contributorId":112036,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"McKelvey","given":"Kevin","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":654679,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6},{"text":"Kendall, Katherine","contributorId":63450,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Kendall","given":"Katherine","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":654680,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":7},{"text":"Graves, Tabitha A. 0000-0001-5145-2400 tgraves@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5145-2400","contributorId":5898,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Graves","given":"Tabitha","email":"tgraves@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[{"id":481,"text":"Northern Rocky Mountain Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":654681,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":8},{"text":"Schwartz, Michael K.","contributorId":102326,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Schwartz","given":"Michael","email":"","middleInitial":"K.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":654683,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":9},{"text":"Bernstein, Richard","contributorId":177115,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Bernstein","given":"Richard","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":654682,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":9}]}}

Along the rim, depth-averaged vertical velocities over the lower 8 m of the water column were primarily downward but much less than depth-averaged horizontal velocities indicating that suspended sediment may be moved to distant locations. Maximum grain sizes capable of remaining in suspension under terminal settling flow conditions (ranging 10–170 μm) were typically much greater than the observed median grain diameter (about 7 μm) at the bed. During upwelling flow within the pockmarks, and in the absence of flocculation, suspended sediment would not settle. The greater frequency of predicted periods of sediment transport along the rim of the southern pockmark is consistent with pockmark morphology in Belfast Bay, which transitions from more spherical to more elongated toward the south, suggesting near-bed sediment transport may contribute to post-formation pockmark evolution during typical conditions in Belfast Bay.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"Springer","doi":"10.1007/s00367-016-0474-2","usgsCitation":"Fandel, C.L., Lippmann, T.C., Foster, D.L., and Brothers, L., 2017, Observations of pockmark flow structure in Belfast Bay, Maine, Part 3: implications for sediment transport: Geo-Marine Letters, v. 37, no. 1, p. 23-34, https://doi.org/10.1007/s00367-016-0474-2.","productDescription":"12 p.","startPage":"23","endPage":"34","ipdsId":"IP-075157","costCenters":[{"id":678,"text":"Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":331422,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Maine","otherGeospatial":"Belfast Bay","volume":"37","issue":"1","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2016-10-04","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"584144dae4b04fc80e50735d","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Fandel, Christina L.","contributorId":177119,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Fandel","given":"Christina","email":"","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":654720,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Lippmann, Thomas C.","contributorId":177120,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Lippmann","given":"Thomas","email":"","middleInitial":"C.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":654721,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Foster, Diane L.","contributorId":177121,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Foster","given":"Diane","email":"","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":654722,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Brothers, Laura L. lbrothers@usgs.gov","contributorId":4502,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Brothers","given":"Laura L.","email":"lbrothers@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":678,"text":"Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":654723,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4}]}}

The stability of subsurface ice changes with the planetary obliquity, generally becoming less stable at lower axial tilt. As a result, the relative rates of sublimation and creep change over time. A landscape evolution model shows that these variations produce internal structure in scalloped depressions, commonly in the form of arcuate ridges, which emerge as depressions resume growth after pausing or slowing. In other scenarios, the formation of internal structure is minimal. Significant uncertainties in past climate and model parameters permit a range of scenarios. Ridges observed in some Martian scalloped depressions could date from obliquity lows or periods of low ice stability occurring &lt;5 Ma, suggesting that the pits are young features and may be actively evolving.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Elsevier","doi":"10.1016/j.icarus.2016.08.031","usgsCitation":"Dundas, C.M., 2017, Effects of varying obliquity on Martian sublimation thermokarst landforms: Icarus, v. 281, p. 115-120, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.icarus.2016.08.031.","productDescription":"6 p.","startPage":"115","endPage":"120","ipdsId":"IP-073669","costCenters":[{"id":131,"text":"Astrogeology Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":331406,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"281","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"584144d7e4b04fc80e507342","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Dundas, Colin M. 0000-0003-2343-7224 cdundas@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2343-7224","contributorId":2937,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Dundas","given":"Colin","email":"cdundas@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[{"id":131,"text":"Astrogeology Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":654661,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1}]}}

Data and analyses from this representative rift flank-basin pair include measurements from 53 individual fault zones and 22 other brittle structures, such as breccia zones, joints, and veins, investigated at a total of just over 100 sites. Structures were examined and compared in poorly lithified Tertiary sediments, as well as in Paleozoic sedimentary and Proterozoic crystalline rocks. Data and analyses include geologic maps; field observations and measurements; orientation, kinematic, and paleostress analyses; statistical examination of fault trace lengths derived from aeromagnetic data; mineralogy and chemistry of host and fault rocks; and investigation of fault versus bolide-impact hypotheses for the origin of enigmatic breccias found in the Proterozoic basement rocks. Fault kinematic and paleostress analyses suggest a record of transitional, and perhaps partitioned, strains from the Laramide orogeny through Rio Grande rifting. Normal faults within Tertiary basin-fill sediments are consistent with more typical WNW-ESE Rio Grande rift extension, perhaps decoupled from bedrock structures due to strength contrasts favoring the formation of new faults in the relatively weak sediments. Analyses of the fault-length data indicate power-law length distributions similar to those reported from many geologic settings globally. Mineralogy and chemistry in Proterozoic fault-related rocks reveal geochemical changes tied to hydrothermal alteration and nearly isochemical transformation of feldspars to clay minerals. In sediments, faulted minerals are characterized by mechanical entrainment with minor secondary chemical changes. Enigmatic breccias in rift-flanking Proterozoic rocks are autoclastic and isochemical with respect to their protoliths and exist near shatter cones believed to be related to a previously reported pre-Pennsylvanian impact event. A weak iridium anomaly is associated with the breccias as well as adjacent protoliths, thus an impact shock wave cannot be ruled out for their origin. Major fault zones along the eastern rift-flank mountain front are discontinuous and unlikely to impede regional groundwater flow into Española Basin aquifers. The breccia bodies are not large enough to constitute aquifers, and no fault- or breccia-related geochemical anomalies were identified as potential contamination sources for ground or surface waters. The results of this work provide a broad picture of structural diversity and tectonic evolution along the eastern flank of the central Rio Grande rift and the adjacent Española Basin representative of the rift as a whole and many rifts worldwide.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Geological Society of America","doi":"10.1130/GES01348.1","usgsCitation":"Caine, J.S., Minor, S.A., Grauch, V.J., Budahn, J.R., and Keren, T.T., 2017, A comprehensive survey of faults, breccias, and fractures in and flanking the eastern Española Basin, Rio Grande rift, New Mexico: Geosphere, v. 13, p. 1566-1609, https://doi.org/10.1130/GES01348.1.","productDescription":"43 p.","startPage":"1566","endPage":"1609","ipdsId":"IP-072811","costCenters":[{"id":211,"text":"Crustal Geophysics and Geochemistry Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":470199,"rank":3,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1130/ges01348.1","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":343179,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":346150,"rank":2,"type":{"id":30,"text":"Data Release"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.5066/F7222RXW","text":"Data for a comprehensive survey of fault zones, breccias, and fractures in and flanking the eastern Española Basin, Rio Grande Rift, New Mexico"}],"country":"United States","state":"New Mexico","otherGeospatial":"Española Basin, Rio Grande Rift","volume":"13","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":2,"text":"Denver PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2017-08-09","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"595611b6e4b0d1f9f0506760","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Caine, Jonathan S. 0000-0002-7269-6989 jscaine@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7269-6989","contributorId":1272,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Caine","given":"Jonathan","email":"jscaine@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"S.","affiliations":[{"id":211,"text":"Crustal Geophysics and Geochemistry Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":702908,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Minor, Scott A. 0000-0002-6976-9235 sminor@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6976-9235","contributorId":765,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Minor","given":"Scott","email":"sminor@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[{"id":318,"text":"Geosciences and Environmental Change Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":702909,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Grauch, V.

Barrier prioritization provides a unique opportunity to: (i) restore and reconnect potentially large habitat patches quickly and effectively and (ii) avoid impacts prior to occurrence in line with the mitigation hierarchy (i.e. avoid then minimize then mitigate). This paper synthesizes 46 watershed-scale barrier planning studies and presents a procedure to guide barrier prioritization associated with connectivity for aquatic organisms. We focus on practical issues informing prioritization studies such as available data sets, methods, techniques, and tools.

We are investigating the possibility of using sidescan sonar sensors on commercially available ‘fishfinders’ for within-channel bed-sediment characterization of mixed sand-gravel riverbeds in a debris-fan dominated canyon river. We analyzed repeat substrate mapping of data collected before and after the November 2014 High Flow Experiment on the Colorado River in lower Marble Canyon, Arizona. The mapping analysis resulted in sufficient spatial coverage (e.g. reach) and resolutions (e.g. centrimetric) to inform studies of the effects of changing bed substrates on salmonid spawning on large rivers. From this preliminary study, we argue that the approach could become a tractable and cost-effective tool for aquatic scientists to rapidly obtain bed texture maps without specialized knowledge of hydroacoustics.
