Female helpers guarded more than male helpers, but this relationship weakened as pups grew. Subset analyses including data on helper age and wolf and prey density showed such factors did not significantly influence pup-guarding rates.

We used satellite-derived (MODIS) land-surface temperature (LST) data to investigate spatial heterogeneity of canopy temperature (an indicator of plant-water status) in a floodplain forest of the upper Sabine River for 2008–2014. High LST pixels were generally further from the river and at higher topographic locations, indicating lower water-availability. Increasing rainfall-derived soil moisture corresponded with decreased heterogeneity of LST between pixels but there was weaker association between Sabine River stage and heterogeneity. Stronger dependence of LST convergence on rainfall rather than river flow suggests that some regions are less hydrologically connected to the river, and vegetation may rely on local precipitation and other contributions to the riparian aquifer to replenish soil moisture. Observed LST variations associated with hydrology encourage further investigation of the utility of this approach for monitoring forest stress, especially with considerations of climate change and continued river management.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Eagle Hill Institute","doi":"10.1656/058.015.0sp911","usgsCitation":"Lemon, M.G., Allen, S.T., Edwards, B., King, S.L., and Keim, R., 2016, Satellite-derived temperature data for monitoring water status in a floodplain forest of the Upper Sabine River, Texas: Southeastern Naturalist, v. 15, no. sp9, p. 90-102, https://doi.org/10.1656/058.015.0sp911.","productDescription":"13 p.","startPage":"90","endPage":"102","ipdsId":"IP-066074","costCenters":[{"id":198,"text":"Coop Res Unit Atlanta","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":347463,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Texas","otherGeospatial":"Upper Sabine River","volume":"15","issue":"sp9","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":8,"text":"Raleigh PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5a07e98de4b09af898c8cc2c","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Lemon, Mary Grace T.","contributorId":198501,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Lemon","given":"Mary","email":"","middleInitial":"Grace T.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":716258,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Allen, Scott T.","contributorId":168409,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Allen","given":"Scott","email":"","middleInitial":"T.","affiliations":[{"id":25282,"text":"School of Renewable Natural Resources, Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, LA","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":716259,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Edwards, Brandon L.","contributorId":35231,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Edwards","given":"Brandon L.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":716260,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"King, Sammy L. 0000-0002-5364-6361 sking@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5364-6361","contributorId":557,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"King","given":"Sammy","email":"sking@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[{"id":198,"text":"Coop Res Unit Atlanta","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":716068,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Keim, Richard F.","contributorId":21858,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Keim","given":"Richard F.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":716261,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5}]}}

Moving relatively immobile young to improve access to important resources, limit detection of concentrated scent by predators, and decrease infestations by ectoparasites can be advantageous. Moving young, however, can also expose them to increased mortality risks (e.g., accidents, getting lost, predation). For group-living animals that live in variable environments and care for young over extended time periods, the influence of biotic factors (e.g., group size, predation risk) and abiotic factors (e.g., temperature and precipitation) on the decision to move young is unknown. We used data from 25 satellite-collared wolves ( </span><i>Canis lupus</i><span> ) in Idaho, Montana, and Yellowstone National Park to evaluate how these factors could influence the decision to move pups during the pup-rearing season. We hypothesized that litter size, the number of adults in a group, and perceived predation risk would positively affect the number of times gray wolves moved pups. We further hypothesized that wolves would move their pups more often when it was hot and dry to ensure sufficient access to water. Contrary to our hypothesis, monthly temperature above the 30-year average was negatively related to the number of times wolves moved their pups. Monthly precipitation above the 30-year average, however, was positively related to the amount of time wolves spent at pup-rearing sites after leaving the natal den. We found little relationship between risk of predation (by grizzly bears, humans, or conspecifics) or group and litter sizes and number of times wolves moved their pups. Our findings suggest that abiotic factors most strongly influence the decision of wolves to move pups, although responses to unpredictable biotic events (e.g., a predator encountering pups) cannot be ruled out.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"American Society of Mammalogists","doi":"10.1093/jmammal/gyw114","usgsCitation":"Ausband, D., Mitchell, M.S., Bassing, S.B., Nordhagen, M., Smith, D., and Stahler, D.R., 2016, Dog days of summer: Influences on decision of wolves to move pups: Journal of Mammalogy, v. 97, no. 5, p. 1282-1287, https://doi.org/10.1093/jmammal/gyw114.","productDescription":"6 p.","startPage":"1282","endPage":"1287","ipdsId":"IP-076548","costCenters":[{"id":200,"text":"Coop Res Unit Seattle","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":470363,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1093/jmammal/gyw114","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":337431,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"97","issue":"5","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":12,"text":"Tacoma PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2016-07-12","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"58c7af9de4b0849ce9795e80","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Ausband, David E.","contributorId":51441,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Ausband","given":"David E.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":683907,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Mitchell, Michael S. 0000-0002-0773-6905 mmitchel@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0773-6905","contributorId":3716,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Mitchell","given":"Michael","email":"mmitchel@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"S.","affiliations":[{"id":200,"text":"Coop Res Unit Seattle","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":683854,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Bassing, Sarah B.","contributorId":81006,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Bassing","given":"Sarah","email":"","middleInitial":"B.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":683908,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Nordhagen, Matthew","contributorId":189127,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Nordhagen","given":"Matthew","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":683909,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Smith, Douglas W.","contributorId":179181,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Smith","given":"Douglas W.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":683910,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Stahler, Daniel R.","contributorId":179180,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Stahler","given":"Daniel","email":"","middleInitial":"R.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":683911,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6}]}}

Robust participation in this conversation underscored the important role citizens have in the stewardship of our waters, and we found enthusiastic support for farsighted policies—based on sound science—to manage our water legacy. </p><p>Overall, we found that Wisconsinites cherish water and see our waters as essential to our way of life in Wisconsin. Nationally, our state ranks 25th in land area but has the fourth-highest area covered by water. Wisconsin is 20th in population but is second only to Florida in the number of fishing licenses sold each year. Clean water supports billions of dollars’ worth of economic activity through tourism, agriculture, and industry. </p><p>From the Northwoods cabin to the Port of Milwaukee to the Wisconsin Dells, water shapes our state’s identity. Our tradition of safeguarding Wisconsin’s waters is grounded in values such as responsibility to family and future generations, respect for land and wildlife, protecting public health and safety, and caring for water as a common good, as articulated in the state’s Public Trust Doctrine (see page 9). These deeply held values have also shaped a conservation ethic, and its legacy has served many generations who depend upon and enjoy the waters of the state. </p><p>Through WOW I, we identified the need to overcome the institutional and disciplinary separation of science, policy, and management protocols through a more integrated approach to water management. WOW also affirmed that the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and other public agencies play a critical role in sound scientific application, citizen participation, and the practical implementation of policy while balancing public and private interests toward the goal of a clean water future. </p><p>More than a decade has passed since our first statewide WOW conversation and the report that captured recommendations from its participants: Waters of Wisconsin: The Future of Our Aquatic Ecosystems and Resources. Drawing from a diverse and growing set of stakeholders from across the state, the Wisconsin Academy initiated a new conversation in 2012 (known as WOW II) to assess progress in regard to our 2003 recommendations. We also sought to review the status of waters in Wisconsin today. </p><p>The result of this renewed conversation is Shifting Currents: Progress, Setbacks, and Shifts in Policy and Practice. The new report assesses progress in brief, and explores in greater depth the continuing and emerging challenges to water quality, supply, and aquatic ecosystems in Wisconsin.</p><p>In this report, we first review the context and frameworks for public decision-making about water and then examine some of the root causes—or “drivers”—and ecological stressors that underlie many of the symptoms we see in the form of pollution or ecosystem degradation in Wisconsin. This is followed by a summary of current water issues, many of which had been identified in the 2003 report and remain relevant today. We examine progress since 2003 but also setbacks, and discuss issues that we are likely to continue to face in the&nbsp;coming decades, including controlling agricultural runoff, mitigating climate change and grappling with its effects on the state’s waters, protecting groundwater from bacterial contamination and other pollutants, and preventing groundwater depletion. We also attempt to anticipate issues on the horizon. We offer a deeper look at some particular challenges, such as phosphorus pollution and groundwater contamination. We then consider the current decision-making framework and how it is shaping our capacity to respond to water challenges in Wisconsin. Finally, we offer recommendations and identify opportunities to safeguard Wisconsin’s waters in the decades ahead.</p><p>From its inception, the Wisconsin Academy’s Waters of Wisconsin Initiative has brought together a diverse community of experts from across the state and from varied fields and areas of interest, to address challenges and seize opportunities related to our precious waters. We have done so as a matter of both principle and practical reality: the state of our waters reflects the ways we interact not only with them, but also with one another and our institutions. The WOW Initiative has aimed to provide guidance for Wisconsin citizens in sustaining the health of our aquatic ecosystems and the resilience of our water supplies over the long term.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"Wisconsin Academy of Sciences, Arts & Letters","usgsCitation":"Wisconsin Academy of Sciences, Arts & Letters, Dunning, C., and Robertson, D.M., 2016, Shifting currents: Progress, setbacks, and shifts in policy and practice, vii, 79 p.","productDescription":"vii, 79 p.","numberOfPages":"90","ipdsId":"IP-079017","costCenters":[{"id":677,"text":"Wisconsin Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":339827,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":328908,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://www.wisconsinacademy.org/initiatives/reports-and-resources"}],"publishingServiceCenter":{"id":6,"text":"Columbus PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"58f5d43de4b0f2e20545e407","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Wisconsin Academy of Sciences, Arts & Letters","contributorId":191012,"corporation":true,"usgs":false,"organization":"Wisconsin Academy of Sciences, Arts & Letters","id":691299,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Dunning, Charles 0000-0002-0597-2058 cdunning@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0597-2058","contributorId":174864,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Dunning","given":"Charles","email":"cdunning@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":677,"text":"Wisconsin Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":649469,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Robertson, Dale M. 0000-0001-6799-0596 dzrobert@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6799-0596","contributorId":150760,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Robertson","given":"Dale","email":"dzrobert@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[{"id":37947,"text":"Upper Midwest Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":691298,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3}]}}

The focus of the study was to investigate the applicability of using GPR data to image washover deposits in the stratigraphic record. High amplitude reflections observed in two shore-perpendicular GPR profiles were correlated to shallow (&lt;1 m) lithologic contacts observed in sediment cores. At these contacts, deposits consisting primarily of quartz sand overlie sediments with organic matter that include degraded plant root or stem material. The underlying organic matter likely represents the vegetated portion of the barrier island that was buried by washover fans deposited during hurricanes Irene (2011) and Sandy (2012), as indicated in high-resolution aerial photographs. The GPR data were able to delineate the washover deposits from the underlying stratigraphic unit; however, the radar data did not resolve finer structures necessary to definitively differentiate washover facies from other sand-rich deposits (</span><i>e.g.,</i><span><span>&nbsp;</span>flood-tide deltas and dunes). Other GPR profiles contain reflections that likely correlate to geomorphic features like tidal channels and vegetated zones observed in historical aerial imagery. Burial of these features by overwash fluxes were observed in the aerial imagery and thus the resulting radar sequence is largely interpreted as washover deposits. Deeper, channel-like features that have been infilled were also observed in shore-parallel profiles and these features coincide with scour channels observed in the 1966 aerial photography. Additional sedimentological data are required to determine what role overwash played in the in-filling of these features.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Environmental & Engineering Geophysical Society","doi":"10.2113/JEEG21.4.173","usgsCitation":"Zaremba, N., Smith, C.G., Bernier, J., and Forde, A.S., 2016, Application of ground penetrating radar for identification of washover deposits and other stratigraphic features: Assateague Island, MD: Journal of Environmental & Engineering Geophysics, v. 21, no. 4, p. 173-186, https://doi.org/10.2113/JEEG21.4.173.","productDescription":"14 p.","startPage":"173","endPage":"186","ipdsId":"IP-074256","costCenters":[{"id":574,"text":"St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":337659,"rank":1,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"21","issue":"4","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":9,"text":"Reston PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"58ca52cde4b0849ce97c86a0","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Zaremba, Nicholas 0000-0002-2361-2881 nzaremba@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2361-2881","contributorId":181756,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Zaremba","given":"Nicholas","email":"nzaremba@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":574,"text":"St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":669428,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Smith, Christopher G. 0000-0002-8075-4763 cgsmith@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8075-4763","contributorId":3410,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Smith","given":"Christopher","email":"cgsmith@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"G.","affiliations":[{"id":24708,"text":"Lower Mississippi-Gulf Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":186,"text":"Coastal and Marine Geology Program","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":574,"text":"St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":669429,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Bernier, Julie 0000-0002-9918-5353 jbernier@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9918-5353","contributorId":3549,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Bernier","given":"Julie","email":"jbernier@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":574,"text":"St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":669430,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Forde, Arnell S. 0000-0002-5581-2255 aforde@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5581-2255","contributorId":376,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Forde","given":"Arnell","email":"aforde@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"S.","affiliations":[{"id":574,"text":"St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":669431,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4}]}}

We analyzed the effects of available habitat on nest survival and how nest survival rates compared with those of the expanding goose population studied previously to better understand how to maintain a sustainable Canada goose population in Iowa. We documented Canada goose nest survival at rural wetland sites in north-central Iowa. We monitored 121 nests in 2013 and 149 nests in 2014 at 5 Wildlife Management Areas (WMAs) with various nesting habitats, including islands, muskrat (</span><i>Ondatra zibethicus</i><span>) houses, and elevated nest structures. We estimated daily nest-survival rate using the nest survival model in Program MARK. Survival was influenced by year, site, stage, presence of a camera, nest age, and an interaction between nest age and stage. Nest success rates for the 28-day incubation period by site and year combination ranged from 0.10 to 0.84. Nest survival was greatest at sites with nest structures (β = 17.34). Nest survival was negatively affected by lowered water levels at Rice Lake WMA (2013 β = −0.77, nest age β = −0.07).

Because population performance of these species is also influenced by non-anthropogenic factors, it is important to incorporate all relevant ecological drivers into demographic models. We used design-based sampling and occupancy models to test relationships of environmental factors that influence raptor demographics with re-occupancy of breeding territories by ferruginous hawks (</span><i>Buteo regalis</i><span>) across Wyoming, USA, 2011–2013. We also tested correlations of territory re-occupancy with oil and gas infrastructure—a leading cause of habitat modification throughout the range of this species of conservation concern. Probability of re-occupancy was not related to any covariates we investigated in 2011, had a strong negative relationship with cover of sagebrush (</span><i>Artemisia</i><span><span>&nbsp;</span>spp.) in 2012, was slightly higher for territories with artificial platforms than other nest substrates in 2013, and had a positive relationship with abundance of ground squirrels (</span><i>Urocitellus</i><span><span>&nbsp;</span>spp.) that was strong in 2012 and weak in 2013. Associations with roads were weak and varied by year, road-type, and scale: in 2012, re-occupancy probability had a weak positive correlation with density of roads not associated with oil and gas fields at the territory-scale; however, in 2013 re-occupancy had a very weak negative correlation with density of oil and gas field roads near nest sites (≤500 m). Although our results indicate re-occupancy of breeding territories by ferruginous hawks was compatible with densities of anthropogenic infrastructure in our study area, the lack of relationships between oil and gas well density and territory re-occupancy may have occurred because pre-treatment data were unavailable. We used probabilistic sampling at a broad spatial extent, methods to account for imperfect detection, and conducted extensive prey sampling; nonetheless, future research using before-after-control-impact designs is needed to fully assess impacts of oil and gas development on ferruginous hawks.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"PLOS

Traditional methods, such as live capture, can be labor-intensive, invasive, and produce low detection rates. Technological advances and new approaches provide opportunities to more effectively survey for species both in terms of accuracy and efficiency than previous methods. We conducted a pilot comparison study of a traditional technique (live-trapping) and 2 novel noninvasive techniques (camera-trapping and ultrasonic acoustic surveys) on detection rates of the federally endangered Carolina northern flying squirrel (<i>Glaucomys sabrinus coloratus</i>) in occupied habitat within the Roan Mountain Highlands of North Carolina, USA. In 2015, we established 3 5 × 5 live-trapping grids (6.5 ha) with 4 camera traps and 4 acoustic detectors systematically embedded in each grid. All 3 techniques were used simultaneously during 2 4-day survey periods. We compared techniques by assessing probability of detection (POD), latency to detection (LTD; i.e., no. of survey nights until initial detection), and survey effort. Acoustics had the greatest POD (0.37 ± 0.06 SE), followed by camera traps (0.30 ± 0.06) and live traps (0.01 ± 0.005). Acoustics had a lower LTD than camera traps (<i>P </i>= 0.017), where average LTD was 1.5 nights for acoustics and 3.25 nights for camera traps. Total field effort was greatest with live traps (111.9 hr) followed by acoustics (8.4 hr) and camera traps (9.6 hr), although processing and examination for data of noninvasive techniques made overall effort similar among the 3 methods. This pilot study demonstrated that both noninvasive methods were better rapid-assessment detection techniques for flying squirrels than live traps. However, determining seasonal effects between survey techniques and further development of protocols for both noninvasive techniques is necessary prior to widespread application in the region.

Springtime warming and aeolian dust deposition accelerate snowmelt, increasing the risk of water shortages during late summer, when demand is greatest. While climate networks provide data that can be used to evaluate the effect of warming on snowpack resources, there are no established regional networks for monitoring aeolian dust deposition to snow. In this study, we test the hypothesis that chemistry of snow, wet deposition, and aerosols can be used as a surrogate for dust deposition to snow. We then analyze spatial patterns and temporal trends in inferred springtime dust deposition to snow across the Rocky Mountains, USA, for 1993–2014. Geochemical evidence, including strong correlations (r</span><sup>2</sup><span>&nbsp;≥&nbsp;0.94) between Ca</span><sup>2+</sup><span>, alkalinity, and dust concentrations in snow deposited during dust events, indicate that carbonate minerals in dust impart a strong chemical signature that can be used to track dust deposition to snow. Spatial patterns in chemistry of snow, wet deposition, and aerosols indicate that dust deposition increases from north to south in the Rocky Mountains, and temporal trends indicate that winter/spring dust deposition increased by 81% in the southern Rockies during 1993–2014. Using a multivariate modeling approach, we determined that increases in dust deposition and decreases in springtime snowfall combined to accelerate snowmelt timing in the southern Rockies by approximately 7–18 days between 1993 and 2014. Previous studies have shown that aeolian dust emissions may have doubled globally during the 20th century, possibly due to drought and land-use change. Climate projections for increased aridity in the southwestern U.S., northern Africa, and other mid-latitude regions of the northern Hemisphere suggest that aeolian dust emissions may continue to increase, compounding the risk that climate warming poses to snowpack water resources in arid/semi-arid regions of the world.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Elsevier","doi":"10.1016/j.atmosenv.2016.06.076","usgsCitation":"Clow, D.W., Williams, M.W., and Schuster, P.F., 2016, Increasing aeolian dust deposition to snowpacks in the Rocky Mountains inferred from snowpack, wet deposition, and aerosol chemistry: Atmospheric Environment, v. 146, p. 183-194, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.atmosenv.2016.06.076.","productDescription":"12 p.","startPage":"183","endPage":"194","ipdsId":"IP-073260","costCenters":[{"id":191,"text":"Colorado Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":470368,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.atmosenv.2016.06.076","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":337479,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"146","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":2,"text":"Denver PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"58c7af9ce4b0849ce9795e7a","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Clow, David W. 0000-0001-6183-4824 dwclow@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6183-4824","contributorId":1671,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Clow","given":"David","email":"dwclow@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"W.","affiliations":[{"id":191,"text":"Colorado Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":684061,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Williams, Mark W.","contributorId":43046,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Williams","given":"Mark","email":"","middleInitial":"W.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":684062,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Schuster, Paul F. 0000-0002-8314-1372 pschuste@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8314-1372","contributorId":1360,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Schuster","given":"Paul","email":"pschuste@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"F.","affiliations":[{"id":5044,"text":"National Research Program - Central Branch","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":438,"text":"National Research Program - Western Branch","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":684063,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3}]}}

Much of the societal response to invasive species to date has been associated with negative economic consequences of invasions. This response has shaped a war-like approach to addressing invasions, one with an agenda of eradications and intense ecological restoration efforts towards prior or more desirable ecological regimes. This trajectory often ignores the concept of ecological resilience and associated approaches of resilience-based governance. We argue that the relationship between ecological resilience and invasive species has been understudied to the detriment of attempts to govern invasions, and that most management actions fail, primarily because they do not incorporate adaptive, learning-based approaches. Invasive species can decrease resilience by reducing the biodiversity that underpins ecological functions and processes, making ecosystems more prone to regime shifts. However, invasions do not always result in a shift to an alternative regime; invasions can also increase resilience by introducing novelty, replacing lost ecological functions or adding redundancy that strengthens already existing structures and processes in an ecosystem. This paper examines the potential impacts of species invasions on the resilience of ecosystems and suggests that resilience-based approaches can inform policy by linking the governance of biological invasions to the negotiation of tradeoffs between ecosystem services.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Elsevier","doi":"10.1016/j.jenvman.2016.04.040","usgsCitation":"Chaffin, B.C., Garmestani, A.S., Angeler, D., Herrmann, D.L., Stow, C., Nystrom, M., Sendzimir, J., Hopton, M.E., Kolasa, J., and Allen, C.R., 2016, Biological invasions, ecological resilience and adaptive governance: Journal of Environmental Management, v. 183, no. 2, p. 399-407, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jenvman.2016.04.040.","productDescription":"9 p.","startPage":"399","endPage":"407","ipdsId":"IP-076225","costCenters":[{"id":200,"text":"Coop Res Unit Seattle","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":470351,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jenvman.2016.04.040","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":337436,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"183","issue":"2","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":12,"text":"Tacoma PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"58c7af9de4b0849ce9795e84","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Chaffin, Brian C.","contributorId":189131,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Chaffin","given":"Brian","email":"","middleInitial":"C.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":683920,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Garmestani, Ahjond S.","contributorId":77285,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Garmestani","given":"Ahjond","email":"","middleInitial":"S.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":683921,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Angeler, David G.","contributorId":25027,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Angeler","given":"David G.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":683922,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Herrmann, Dustin L.","contributorId":189132,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Herrmann","given":"Dustin","email":"","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":683923,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Stow, Craig A.","contributorId":49733,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Stow","given":"Craig A.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":683924,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Nystrom, Magnus","contributorId":36460,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Nystrom","given":"Magnus","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":683925,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6},{"text":"Sendzimir, Jan","contributorId":57315,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Sendzimir","given":"Jan","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":683926,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":7},{"text":"Hopton, Matthew E.","contributorId":189133,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Hopton","given":"Matthew","email":"","middleInitial":"E.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":683927,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":8},{"text":"Kolasa, Jurek","contributorId":34767,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Kolasa","given":"Jurek","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":683928,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":9},{"text":"Allen, Craig R. 0000-0001-8655-8272 allencr@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8655-8272","contributorId":1979,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Allen","given":"Craig","email":"allencr@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"R.","affiliations":[{"id":200,"text":"Coop Res Unit Seattle","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":198,"text":"Coop Res Unit Atlanta","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":683825,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":10}]}}

The simultaneous production of these multiple services arises from complex interactions among diverse aboveground and belowground communities across multiple scales. When a system is mismanaged, non-linear and persistent losses in ecosystem services can arise. Adaptive management is an approach to management designed to reduce uncertainty as management proceeds. By developing alternative hypotheses, testing these hypotheses and adjusting management in response to outcomes, managers can probe dynamic mechanistic relationships among aboveground and belowground soil system components. In doing so, soil ecosystem services can be preserved and critical ecological thresholds avoided. Here, we present an adaptive management framework designed to reduce uncertainty surrounding the soil system, even when soil ecosystem services production is not the explicit management objective, so that managers can reach their management goals without undermining soil multifunctionality or contributing to an irreversible loss of soil ecosystem services.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Elsevier","doi":"10.1016/j.jenvman.2016.06.024","usgsCitation":"Birge, H.E., Bevans, R.A., Allen, C.R., Angeler, D., Baer, S.G., and Wall, D., 2016, Adaptive management for soil ecosystem services: Journal of Environmental Management, v. 183, no. 2, p. 371-378, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jenvman.2016.06.024.","productDescription":"8 p.","startPage":"371","endPage":"378","ipdsId":"IP-075671","costCenters":[{"id":200,"text":"Coop Res Unit Seattle","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":337437,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"183","issue":"2","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":12,"text":"Tacoma PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"58c7af9de4b0849ce9795e86","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Birge, Hannah E.","contributorId":166737,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Birge","given":"Hannah","email":"","middleInitial":"E.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":683929,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Bevans, Rebecca A.","contributorId":189134,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Bevans","given":"Rebecca","email":"","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":683930,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Allen, Craig R. 0000-0001-8655-8272 allencr@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8655-8272","contributorId":1979,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Allen","given":"Craig","email":"allencr@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"R.","affiliations":[{"id":200,"text":"Coop Res Unit Seattle","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":198,"text":"Coop Res Unit Atlanta","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":683824,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Angeler, David G.","contributorId":25027,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Angeler","given":"David G.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":683931,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Baer, Sara G.","contributorId":189135,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Baer","given":"Sara","email":"","middleInitial":"G.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":683932,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Wall, Diana H.","contributorId":189136,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Wall","given":"Diana H.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":683933,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6}]}}

Upstream habitat access for Atlantic Salmon is dependent upon successful and timely passage at Milford Dam because nearly all suitable spawning habitat is located upstream. In 2014 and 2015, a total of 73 adult salmon were radio-tagged to track their upstream movements through the Penobscot River to assess potential delays at (1) the dam remnants, (2) the confluence of the Stillwater Branch and the main stem of the Penobscot River below the impassable Orono Dam, and (3) the Milford Dam fish lift (installed in 2014). Movement rates through the dam remnants and the Stillwater confluence were comparable to open river reaches. Passage efficiency of the fish lift was high in both years (95% and 100%). However, fish experienced long delays at Milford Dam, with approximately one-third of fish taking more than a week to pass in each year, well below the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission passage standard of 95% within 48 h. Telemetry indicates most fish locate the fishway entrance within 5 h of arrival and were observed at the entrance at all hours of the day. These data indicate that overall transit times through the lower river were comparable to reported movement rates prior to changes to the Penobscot River due to the substantial delays seen at Milford Dam. The results of this study show that while adult Atlantic Salmon locate the new fish lift entrance quickly, passage of these fish was significantly delayed under 2014–2015 operations.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Taylor & Francis","doi":"10.1080/19425120.2016.1185063","usgsCitation":"Izzo, L.K., Maynard, G.A., and Zydlewski, J.D., 2016, Upstream movements of Atlantic Salmon in the Lower Penobscot River, Maine following two dam removals and fish passage modifications: Marine and Coastal Fisheries: Dynamics, Management, and Ecosystem Science, v. 8, no. 1, p. 448-461, https://doi.org/10.1080/19425120.2016.1185063.","productDescription":"14 p.","startPage":"448","endPage":"461","ipdsId":"IP-072944","costCenters":[{"id":199,"text":"Coop Res Unit Leetown","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":470381,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1080/19425120.2016.1185063","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":337493,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Maine","otherGeospatial":"Penobscot River","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -68.79981994628906,\n              44.76038647589176\n            ],\n            [\n              -68.62266540527344,\n              44.76038647589176\n            ],\n            [\n              -68.62266540527344,\n              44.990055522906864\n            ],\n            [\n              -68.79981994628906,\n              44.990055522906864\n            ],\n            [\n              -68.79981994628906,\n              44.76038647589176\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"8","issue":"1","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":9,"text":"Reston PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2016-09-21","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"58c90124e4b0849ce97abcc3","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Izzo, Lisa K.","contributorId":189241,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Izzo","given":"Lisa","email":"","middleInitial":"K.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":684200,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Maynard, George A.","contributorId":189242,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Maynard","given":"George","email":"","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":684201,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Zydlewski, Joseph D. 0000-0002-2255-2303 jzydlewski@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2255-2303","contributorId":2004,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Zydlewski","given":"Joseph","email":"jzydlewski@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"D.","affiliations":[{"id":199,"text":"Coop Res Unit Leetown","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":365,"text":"Leetown Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":198,"text":"Coop Res Unit Atlanta","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":684034,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3}]}}

In recent years, the horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratio (HVSR) seismic method has emerged as a non-invasive, cost-effective approach for estimating the thickness of unconsolidated sediments above bedrock. Using a three-component seismometer, this method uses the ratio of the average horizontal- and vertical-component amplitude spectrums to produce a spectral ratio curve with a peak at the fundamental resonance frequency. The HVSR method produces clear and repeatable resonance frequency peaks when there is a sharp contrast (&gt;2:1) in acoustic impedance at the sediment/bedrock boundary. Given the resonant frequency, sediment thickness can be determined either by (1) using an estimate of average local sediment shear-wave velocity or by (2) application of a power-law regression equation developed from resonance frequency observations at sites with a range of known depths to bedrock. Two frequently asked questions about the HVSR method are (1) how accurate are the sediment thickness estimates? and (2) how much do sediment thickness/bedrock depth estimates change when using different published regression equations? This paper compares and contrasts different approaches for generating HVSR depth estimates, through analysis of HVSR data acquired in the vicinity of Tylerville, Connecticut, USA.</span><br></p>","largerWorkType":{"id":4,"text":"Book"},"largerWorkTitle":"Symposium on the Application of Geophysics to Engineering and Environmental Problems 2016","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":15,"text":"Monograph"},"language":"English","publisher":"Society of Exploration Geophysicists","doi":"10.4133/SAGEEP.29-057","usgsCitation":"Johnson, C.D., and Lane, J.W., 2016, Statistical comparison of methods for estimating sediment thickness from Horizontal-to-Vertical  Spectral Ratio (HVSR) seismic methods: An example from Tylerville, Connecticut, USA, <i>in</i> Symposium on the Application of Geophysics to Engineering and Environmental Problems 2016, p. 317-323, https://doi.org/10.4133/SAGEEP.29-057.","productDescription":"7 p.","startPage":"317","endPage":"323","ipdsId":"IP-073040","costCenters":[{"id":486,"text":"OGW Branch of Geophysics","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":589,"text":"Toxic Substances Hydrology Program","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":337696,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Connecticut","city":"Tylerville","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":9,"text":"Reston PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2016-03-24","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"58cba41ae4b0849ce97dc73c","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Johnson, Carole D. 0000-0001-6941-1578 cjohnson@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6941-1578","contributorId":1891,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Johnson","given":"Carole","email":"cjohnson@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"D.","affiliations":[{"id":37277,"text":"WMA - Earth System Processes Division","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":684035,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Lane, John W.

In the United States there were approximately 172,000 chemical spills that affected US waterbodies from 2004 to 2014. More than 8000 of these spills involved non–petroleum-related chemicals. Traditional emergency responses or incident command structures (ICSs) that respond to chemical spills require coordinated efforts by predominantly government personnel from multiple disciplines, including disaster management, public health, and environmental protection. However, the requirements of emergency response teams for science support might not be met within the traditional ICS. We describe the US ICS as an example of emergency-response approaches to chemical spills and provide examples in which external scientific support from research personnel benefitted the ICS emergency response, focusing primarily on nonpetroleum chemical spills. We then propose immediate, near-term, and long-term activities to support the response to chemical spills, focusing on nonpetroleum chemical spills. Further, we call for science support for spill prevention and near-term spill-incident response and identify longer-term research needs. The development of a formal mechanism for external science support of ICS from governmental and nongovernmental scientists would benefit rapid responders, advance incident- and crisis-response science, and aid society in coping with and recovering from chemical spills.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"American Society of Agronomy, Crop Science Society of America, and Soil Science Society of America, Inc.","doi":"10.2134/jeq2016.03.0090","usgsCitation":"Weidhass, J.L., Dietrich, A.M., DeYonker, N.J., Dupont, R.R., Foreman, W., Gallagher, D., Gallagher, J.E., Whelton, A.J., and Alexander, W., 2016, Enabling science support for better decision-making when responding to chemical spills: Journal of Environmental Quality, v. 45, no. 5, p. 1490-1500, https://doi.org/10.2134/jeq2016.03.0090.","productDescription":"11 p.","startPage":"1490","endPage":"1500","ipdsId":"IP-071391","costCenters":[{"id":589,"text":"Toxic Substances Hydrology Program","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":5046,"text":"Branch of Analytical Serv (NWQL)","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":470430,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.2134/jeq2016.03.0090","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":337430,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"45","issue":"5","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":2,"text":"Denver PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"58c7af9ce4b0849ce9795e7e","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Weidhass, Jennifer L.","contributorId":189096,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Weidhass","given":"Jennifer","email":"","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":683856,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Dietrich, Andrea M.","contributorId":189097,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Dietrich","given":"Andrea","email":"","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":683857,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"DeYonker, Nathan J.","contributorId":189098,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"DeYonker","given":"Nathan","email":"","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":683858,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Dupont, R.
