Fleas can reduce the fitness of hosts by interfering with immune responses, disrupting adaptive behaviors, and transmitting pathogens. The negative effects of fleas on hosts are usually most pronounced when fleas attain high densities. In lab studies, fleas desiccate and die under dry conditions, suggesting that populations of fleas will tend to decline when precipitation is scarce under natural conditions. To test this hypothesis, we compared precipitation vs. parasitism of black-tailed prairie dogs (</span><i>Cynomys ludovicianus</i><span>) by fleas at a single colony during May and June of 13 consecutive years (1976–1988) at Wind Cave National Park, South Dakota, USA. The number of fleas on prairie dogs decreased with increasing precipitation during both the prior growing season (April through August of the prior year) and the just-completed winter–spring (January through April of current year). Due to the reduction in available moisture and palatable forage in dry years, herbivorous prairie dogs might have been food-limited, with weakened behavioral and immunological defenses against fleas. In support of this hypothesis, adult prairie dogs of low mass harbored more fleas than heavier adults. Our results have implications for the spread of plague, an introduced bacterial disease, transmitted by fleas, that devastates prairie dog colonies and, in doing so, can transform grassland ecosystems.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Ecological Society of America","doi":"10.1002/ecs2.1372","usgsCitation":"Eads, D.A., and Hoogland, J., 2016, Factors that affect parasitism of black-tailed prairie dogs by fleas: Ecosphere, v. 7, no. 7, p. 1-12, https://doi.org/10.1002/ecs2.1372.","productDescription":"e01372; 12 p.","startPage":"1","endPage":"12","ipdsId":"IP-073156","costCenters":[{"id":291,"text":"Fort Collins Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":470793,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/ecs2.1372","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":332182,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"7","issue":"7","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":2,"text":"Denver PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2016-07-15","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5853ba41e4b0e2663625f2bc","chorus":{"doi":"10.1002/ecs2.1372","url":"http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/ecs2.1372","publisher":"Wiley-Blackwell","authors":"Eads David A., Hoogland John L.","journalName":"Ecosphere","publicationDate":"7/2016","auditedOn":"11/10/2016"},"contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Eads, David A. 0000-0002-4247-017X deads@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4247-017X","contributorId":173639,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Eads","given":"David","email":"deads@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[{"id":291,"text":"Fort Collins Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":655966,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Hoogland, John L.","contributorId":113228,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Hoogland","given":"John L.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":655967,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}}

We demonstrate the imperative of framing clearly-defined management objectives in finding optimal control actions for control of disease outbreaks. We illustrate an analysis that can be applied rapidly at the start of an outbreak when there are multiple stakeholders involved with potentially multiple objectives, and when there are also multiple disease models upon which to compare control actions. The output of our analysis frames subsequent discourse between policy-makers, modellers and other stakeholders, by highlighting areas of discord among different management objectives and also among different models used in the analysis. We illustrate this approach in the context of a hypothetical foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) outbreak in Cumbria, UK using outputs from five rigorously-studied simulation models of FMD spread. We present both relative rankings and relative performance of controls within each model and across a range of objectives. Results illustrate how control actions change across both the base metric used to measure management success and across the statistic used to rank control actions according to said metric.

Site fidelity estimates were high in both wild and hatchery-reared lake trout (ranging from 0.78 to 0.94, depending on group and time filter), but were slightly lower in hatchery-reared fish than in wild fish. The ecological implication of the small difference in site fidelity between wild and hatchery-reared lake trout is unclear, but similarities in estimates suggest that many hatchery-reared fish use similar spawning sites to wild fish and that most return to those sites annually for spawning.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"NRC Research Press","doi":"10.1139/cjfas-2015-0175","usgsCitation":"Binder, T., Riley, S.C., Holbrook, C., Hansen, M.J., Bergstedt, R.A., Bronte, C.R., He, J., and Krueger, C., 2016, Spawning site fidelity of wild and hatchery lake trout (<i>Salvelinus namaycush</i>) in northern Lake Huron: Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences, v. 73, no. 1, p. 18-34, https://doi.org/10.1139/cjfas-2015-0175.","productDescription":"17 p.","startPage":"18","endPage":"34","onlineOnly":"N","additionalOnlineFiles":"N","ipdsId":"IP-064734","costCenters":[{"id":324,"text":"Great Lakes Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":324708,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"73","issue":"1","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":6,"text":"Columbus PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"57778629e4b07dd077c878f3","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Binder, Thomas 0000-0001-9266-9120 tbinder@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9266-9120","contributorId":4958,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Binder","given":"Thomas","email":"tbinder@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":324,"text":"Great Lakes Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":565258,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Riley, Stephen C. 0000-0002-8968-8416 sriley@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8968-8416","contributorId":2661,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Riley","given":"Stephen","email":"sriley@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"C.","affiliations":[{"id":324,"text":"Great Lakes Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":565259,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Holbrook, Christopher M. 0000-0001-8203-6856 cholbrook@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8203-6856","contributorId":139681,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Holbrook","given":"Christopher","email":"cholbrook@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[{"id":324,"text":"Great Lakes Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":565260,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Hansen, Michael J. 0000-0001-8522-3876 michaelhansen@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8522-3876","contributorId":5006,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Hansen","given":"Michael","email":"michaelhansen@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[{"id":324,"text":"Great Lakes Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":565261,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Bergstedt, Roger A. rbergstedt@usgs.gov","contributorId":4174,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Bergstedt","given":"Roger","email":"rbergstedt@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[{"id":324,"text":"Great Lakes Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":565262,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Bronte, Charles R.","contributorId":83050,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Bronte","given":"Charles","email":"","middleInitial":"R.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":565263,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6},{"text":"He, Ji","contributorId":172649,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"He","given":"Ji","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":565264,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":7},{"text":"Krueger, Charles C.","contributorId":67821,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Krueger","given":"Charles C.","affiliations":[{"id":7019,"text":"Great Lakes Fishery Commission","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":565265,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":8}]}}

Biogeographic models predict that populations occurring at the edges of the range may have compromised reproductive rates because of inferior habitat at range peripheries.

To assess the demographic vulnerability of moose (&nbsp;</span><i>Alces alces</i><span><span>&nbsp;</span>), we studied relationships between reproductive rates, maternal age, and rump fat in the southernmost naturally occurring moose population in North America. For prime-aged moose in our study, pregnancy rates were high (92%), but moose aged &lt; 3 or &gt; 9 years had low pregnancy rates (32% and 38%, respectively). The relationship between rump fat and pregnancy was nonlinear such that a threshold of at least 2mm of rump fat yielded a high probability of being pregnant midwinter. In contrast, among pregnant moose, the probability of both producing a calf and recruiting it until spring increased linearly with rump fat. We also conducted a meta-analysis of pregnancy and twinning rates for adult (≥ 2 years) moose across a latitudinal gradient to compare reproductive rates from our study to other populations in North America. Moose living at southern latitudes tended to have lower reproductive rates than those living in the core of moose range, implying that southern moose populations may be demographically more vulnerable than northern moose populations.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Oxford Academic","doi":"10.1093/jmammal/gyw099","usgsCitation":"Ruprecht, J.S., Hersey, K., Hafen, K., Monteith, K.L., DeCesare, N.J., Kauffman, M., and MacNulty, D.R., 2016, Reproduction in moose at their southern range limit: Journal of Mammalogy, v. 97, no. 5, p. 1355-1365, https://doi.org/10.1093/jmammal/gyw099.","productDescription":"11 p.","startPage":"1355","endPage":"1365","ipdsId":"IP-068645","costCenters":[{"id":200,"text":"Coop Res Unit Seattle","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":348556,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Utah","otherGeospatial":"Uinta Mountions, Wasatch Mountains","volume":"97","issue":"5","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":12,"text":"Tacoma PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2016-07-14","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5a06c8d3e4b09af898c86158","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Ruprecht, Joel S.","contributorId":200236,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Ruprecht","given":"Joel","email":"","middleInitial":"S.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":721537,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Hersey, Kent","contributorId":99873,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Hersey","given":"Kent","affiliations":[{"id":6763,"text":"Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, Salt Lake City, Utah","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":721538,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Hafen, Konrad","contributorId":172290,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Hafen","given":"Konrad","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":721539,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Monteith, Kevin L.","contributorId":198656,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Monteith","given":"Kevin","email":"","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":721540,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"DeCesare, Nicholas J.","contributorId":200237,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"DeCesare","given":"Nicholas","email":"","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":721541,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Kauffman, Matthew J. 0000-0003-0127-3900 mkauffman@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0127-3900","contributorId":189179,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Kauffman","given":"Matthew J.","email":"mkauffman@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":200,"text":"Coop Res Unit Seattle","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":506,"text":"Office of the AD Ecosystems","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":716616,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6},{"text":"MacNulty, Daniel R.","contributorId":64069,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"MacNulty","given":"Daniel","email":"","middleInitial":"R.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":721542,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":7}]}}

To index such high-quality forage, recent work proposed the instantaneous rate of green-up (IRG), i.e. rate of change in the normalized difference vegetation index over time. Despite this important advancement, no study has tested the assumption that herbivores select habitat patches at peak IRG. We evaluated this assumption using step selection functions parametrized with movement data during the green-up period from two populations each of bighorn sheep, mule deer, elk, moose and bison, totalling 463 individuals monitored 1–3 years from 2004 to 2014. Accounting for variables that typically influence habitat selection for each species, we found seven of 10 populations selected patches exhibiting high IRG—supporting the GWH. Nonetheless, large herbivores selected for the leading edge, trailing edge and crest of the IRG wave, indicating that other mechanisms (e.g. ruminant physiology) or measurement error inherent with satellite data affect selection for IRG. Our evaluation indicates that IRG is a useful tool for linking herbivore movement with plant phenology, paving the way for significant advancements in understanding how animals track resource quality that varies both spatially and temporally.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"The Royal Society Publishing","doi":"10.1098/rspb.2016.0456","usgsCitation":"Merkle, J., Monteith, K.L., Aikens, E.O., Hayes, M.M., Hersey, K., Middleton, A., Oates, B., Sawyer, H., Scurlock, B., and Kauffman, M., 2016, Large herbivores surf waves of green-up during spring: Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, v. 283, no. 1833, p. 1-8, https://doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2016.0456.","productDescription":"Article 20160456; 8 p.","startPage":"1","endPage":"8","ipdsId":"IP-073825","costCenters":[{"id":200,"text":"Coop Res Unit Seattle","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":470797,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2016.0456","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":348554,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"283","issue":"1833","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":12,"text":"Tacoma PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2016-06-29","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5a06c8d2e4b09af898c86154","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Merkle, Jerod","contributorId":172972,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Merkle","given":"Jerod","affiliations":[{"id":35288,"text":"Wyoming Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit, University of Wyoming","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":721528,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Monteith, Kevin L.","contributorId":198656,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Monteith","given":"Kevin","email":"","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":721529,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Aikens, Ellen O.","contributorId":198653,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Aikens","given":"Ellen","email":"","middleInitial":"O.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":721530,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Hayes, Matthew M.","contributorId":172344,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Hayes","given":"Matthew","email":"","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":721531,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Hersey, Kent","contributorId":99873,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Hersey","given":"Kent","affiliations":[{"id":6763,"text":"Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, Salt Lake City, Utah","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":721532,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Middleton, Arthur D.","contributorId":99440,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Middleton","given":"Arthur D.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":721533,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6},{"text":"Oates, Brendan","contributorId":200235,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Oates","given":"Brendan","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":721534,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":7},{"text":"Sawyer, Hall","contributorId":39930,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Sawyer","given":"Hall","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":721535,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":8},{"text":"Scurlock, Brandon","contributorId":145744,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Scurlock","given":"Brandon","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":16219,"text":"Wyoming Game and Fish Department, PO Box 850, Pinedale, Wyoming","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":721536,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":9},{"text":"Kauffman, Matthew J. 0000-0003-0127-3900 mkauffman@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0127-3900","contributorId":189179,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Kauffman","given":"Matthew J.","email":"mkauffman@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":200,"text":"Coop Res Unit Seattle","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":506,"text":"Office of the AD Ecosystems","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":716617,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":10}]}}

We relocate all the earthquakes by applying ray tracing through an existing three-dimensional velocity model, similar event cluster analysis, and a differential-time relocation method. The resulting location catalog represents an expansion of previous relocation studies, covering a longer time period and consisting of more events with well-constrained absolute locations. The focal mechanisms are obtained based on the compressional-wave first-motion polarities and compressional-to-shear wave amplitude ratios by applying the HASH program to the waveform cross correlation relocated earthquakes. Overall, the good-quality (defined by the HASH parameters) focal solutions are dominated by normal faulting in our study area, especially in the active Ka'ōiki and Hīlea seismic zones. Kīlauea caldera is characterized by a mixture of approximately equal numbers of normal, strike-slip, and reverse faults, whereas its south flank has slightly fewer strike-slip events.

Inferred flow-path length was the most important variable but near-surface-aquifer geochemical data also were significant. A unique feature of this study was that previously predicted nitrate concentrations in three dimensions were themselves predictive of arsenic and indicated an important redox effect at &gt;10 μg/L, indicating low arsenic where nitrate was high. Additionally, a variable representing three-dimensional aquifer texture from the Central Valley Hydrologic Model was an important predictor, indicating high arsenic associated with fine-grained aquifer sediment.

This special issue showcases a collection of recent advances in understanding the impacts of ECE&amp;D on carbon cycling. Notable advances include quantifying how harvesting activities impact forest structure, carbon pool dynamics, and recovery processes; observed drastic increases of the concentrations of dissolved organic carbon and dissolved methane in thermokarst lakes in western Siberia during a summer warming event; disentangling the roles of herbivores and fire on forest carbon dioxide flux; direct and indirect impacts of fire on the global carbon balance; and improved atmospheric inversion of regional carbon sources and sinks by incorporating disturbances. Combined, studies herein indicate several major research needs. First, disturbances and extreme events can interact with one another, and it is important to understand their overall impacts and also disentangle their effects on the carbon cycle. Second, current ecosystem models are not skillful enough to correctly simulate the underlying processes and impacts of ECE&amp;D (e.g., tree mortality and carbon consequences). Third, benchmark data characterizing the timing, location, type, and magnitude of disturbances must be systematically created to improve our ability to quantify carbon dynamics over large areas. Finally, improving the representation of ECE&amp;D in regional climate/earth system models and accounting for the resulting feedbacks to climate are essential for understanding the interactions between climate and ecosystem dynamics.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"European Geosciences Union","doi":"10.5194/bg-13-3665-2016","usgsCitation":"Xiao, J., Liu, S., and Stoy, P., 2016, Preface: Impacts of extreme climate events and disturbances on carbon dynamics: Biogeosciences, v. 13, p. 3665-3675, https://doi.org/10.5194/bg-13-3665-2016.","productDescription":"11 p.","startPage":"3665","endPage":"3675","ipdsId":"IP-069417","costCenters":[{"id":222,"text":"Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":470800,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.5194/bg-13-3665-2016","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":341425,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"13","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2016-06-22","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"593e25bce4b0764e6c61b73b","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Xiao, Jingfeng","contributorId":66998,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Xiao","given":"Jingfeng","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":695505,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Liu, Shuguang 0000-0002-6027-3479 sliu@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6027-3479","contributorId":147403,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Liu","given":"Shuguang","email":"sliu@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":223,"text":"Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center (Geography)","active":false,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":695506,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Stoy, Paul C.","contributorId":60860,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Stoy","given":"Paul C.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":695507,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3}]}}

Using high-resolution data from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, we examine Cross crater’s basin-filling sedimentary deposits. Visible/shortwave infrared (VSWIR) spectra from the Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for Mars (CRISM) show absorptions diagnostic of alunite. Combining spectral data with high-resolution images, we map a large (10 km × 5 km) alunite-bearing deposit in southwest Cross crater, widespread kaolin-bearing sediments with variable amounts of alunite that are layered in &lt;10 m scale beds, and silica- and/or montmorillonite-bearing deposits that occupy topographically lower, heavily fractured units. The secondary minerals are found at elevations ranging from 700 to 1550 m, forming a discontinuous ring along the crater wall beneath darker capping materials. The mineralogy inside Cross crater is different from that of the surrounding terrains and other martian basins, where Fe/Mg-phyllosilicates and Ca/Mg-sulfates are commonly found. Alunite in Cross crater indicates acidic, sulfurous waters at the time of its formation. Waters in Cross crater were likely supplied by regionally upwelling groundwaters as well as through an inlet valley from a small adjacent depression to the east, perhaps occasionally forming a lake or series of shallow playa lakes in the closed basin. Like nearby Columbus crater, Cross crater exhibits evidence for acid sulfate alteration, but the alteration in Cross is more extensive/complete. The large but localized occurrence of alunite suggests a localized, high-volume source of acidic waters or vapors, possibly supplied by sulfurous (H</span><sub>2</sub><span>S- and/or SO</span><sub>2</sub><span>-bearing) waters in contact with a magmatic source, upwelling steam or fluids through fracture zones. The unique, highly aluminous nature of the Cross crater deposits relative to other martian acid sulfate deposits indicates acid waters, high water throughput during alteration, atypically glassy and/or felsic materials, or a combination of these conditions.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Mineralogical Society of America","doi":"10.2138/am-2016-5574","usgsCitation":"Ehlmann,

A numerical groundwater flow model of the Inland Bays Watershed, Delaware, USA, was developed to identify the primary hydrogeologic factors that affect groundwater discharge rates and transit times to streams and bays. The distribution of groundwater discharge between streams and bays is sensitive to the depth of the water table below land surface. Higher recharge and reduced hydraulic conductivity raised the water table and increased discharge to streams relative to bays compared to the Reference case (in which 66% of recharge is discharged to streams). Increases to either factor decreased transit times for discharge to both streams and bays compared to the Reference case (in which mean transit times are 56.5 and 94.3&nbsp;years, respectively), though sensitivity to recharge is greater. Groundwater-borne nitrogen loads were calculated from nitrogen concentrations measured in discharging fresh groundwater and modeled SGD rates. These loads combined with long SGD transit times suggest groundwater-borne nitrogen reductions and estuarine water quality improvements will lag decades behind implementation of efforts to manage nutrient sources.

We radio-marked 196 individual rails and examined the evidence from 152 recovered California Ridgway’s rail mortalities from our radio-marked sample and determined plausible cause of death from a wide array of evidence. We also included 10 additional California Ridgway’s rail mortalities (unmarked) that we encountered during our normal field operations. We assigned a likely cause of death to 130 of the recoveries, of which 127 were determined to be caused by predation. Of those, 103 could be divided into class of cause (avian or mammalian), and avian predators were responsible for 64% of those events. Primary predators identified include domestic or feral cats, red fox, owl, and northern harrier. We did find seasonal differences between avian and mammalian predation rates, with higher proportions of avian predation in the winter and early spring. Time of day and tide height\nwere correlated with predation events, with a greater proportion of known mortalities found during periods of high tides (over 60% marsh inundation) and during daylight hours. Predation is the primary source of mortality for California Ridgway’s rail. Management actions that try to reduce avian predation may be the most effective at improving rail survival rates, given the proportion of avian predation detected.","largerWorkType":{"id":4,"text":"Book"},"largerWorkTitle":"Proceedings of the 27th Vertebrate Pest Conference","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":12,"text":"Conference publication"},"conferenceTitle":"27th Vertebrate Pest Conference","conferenceDate":"March 7-10, 2016","conferenceLocation":"Newport Beach, CA","language":"English","publisher":"University of California, Davis","usgsCitation":"Casazza, M.L., Overton, C.T., Bui, T.D., Takekawa, J.Y., Merritt, A.M., and Hull, J., 2016, Depredation of the California Ridgway’s rail: Causes and distribution, <i>in</i> Proceedings of the 27th Vertebrate Pest Conference, Newport Beach, CA, March 7-10, 2016, p. 226-235.","productDescription":"10 p.","startPage":"226","endPage":"235","ipdsId":"IP-079366","costCenters":[{"id":651,"text":"Western Ecological Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":351556,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"publishingServiceCenter":{"id":1,"text":"Sacramento PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5afee9d1e4b0da30c1bfc58e","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Casazza, Michael L. 0000-0002-5636-735X mike_casazza@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5636-735X","contributorId":2091,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Casazza","given":"Michael","email":"mike_casazza@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[{"id":651,"text":"Western Ecological Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":726500,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Overton, Cory T. 0000-0002-5060-7447 coverton@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5060-7447","contributorId":3262,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Overton","given":"Cory","email":"coverton@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"T.","affiliations":[{"id":651,"text":"Western Ecological Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":726501,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Bui, Thuy-Vy D. 0000-0002-0914-5439 tbui@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0914-5439","contributorId":4776,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Bui","given":"Thuy-Vy","email":"tbui@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"D.","affiliations":[{"id":651,"text":"Western Ecological Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":726502,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Takekawa, John Y. 0000-0003-0217-5907 john_takekawa@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0217-5907","contributorId":196611,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Takekawa","given":"John","email":"john_takekawa@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"Y.","affiliations":[{"id":651,"text":"Western Ecological Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":726503,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Merritt, Angela M. 0000-0002-8512-2423 amerritt@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8512-2423","contributorId":201578,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Merritt","given":"Angela","email":"amerritt@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[{"id":651,"text":"Western Ecological Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":726504,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Hull, J.M.","contributorId":201579,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Hull","given":"J.M.","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":36209,"text":"U.S. FWS","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":726505,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6}]}}

The melt inclusions have B concentrations and isotope ratios that are similar to mid-ocean ridge basalt (MORB), suggesting extensive dehydration of the downgoing plate prior to reaching sub-arc depths and little input of slab-derived B into the mantle wedge. However, correlations of volatile and trace element ratios (H</span><sub>2</sub><span>O/Ce, Cl/Nb, Sr/Nd) in the melt inclusions demonstrate that geochemical variability is the result of variable addition of a hydrous subduction component to the mantle wedge. Furthermore, correlations between subduction component tracers and radiogenic isotope ratios show that the subduction component has less radiogenic Sr and Pb than the Lassen sub-arc mantle, which can be explained by melting of subducted Gorda MORB beneath the arc. Agreement between pMELTS melting models and melt inclusion volatile, major, and trace element data suggests that hydrous slab melt addition to the mantle wedge can produce the range in primitive compositions erupted in the Lassen region.

We propose using specific autecology or species trait (i.e. behavioural) information to help explain and understand trophic dynamics that may involve complicated and non-unidirectional trophic interactions. The common carp (</span><i>Cyprinus carpio</i><span>) served as our model species for whole-lake observational and experimental studies; four trophic levels were measured to assess common carp-mediated middle-out effects across multiple lakes. We hypothesised that common carp could influence aquatic ecosystems through multiple pathways (i.e. abiotic and biotic foraging, early life feeding, nutrient). Both studies revealed most trophic levels were affected by common carp, highlighting strong middle-out effects likely caused by common carp foraging activities and abiotic influence (i.e. sediment resuspension). The loss of water transparency, submersed vegetation and a shift in zooplankton dynamics were the strongest effects. Trophic levels furthest from direct pathway effects were also affected (fish life history traits). The present study demonstrates that common carp can exert substantial effects on ecosystem structure and function. Species capable of middle-out effects can greatly modify communities through a variety of available pathways and are not confined to traditional top-down or bottom-up processes.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"CSIRO","doi":"10.1071/MF15068","usgsCitation":"Kaemingk, M.A., Jolley, J.C., Paukert, C.P., Willis, D.W., Henderson, K., Holland, R.S., Wanner, G.A., and Lindvall, M.L., 2016, Common carp disrupt ecosystem structure and function through middle-out effects: Marine and Freshwater Research, v. 68, no. 4, p. 718-731, https://doi.org/10.1071/MF15068.","productDescription":"14 p.","startPage":"718","endPage":"731","ipdsId":"IP-063503","costCenters":[{"id":198,"text":"Coop Res Unit Atlanta","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":349162,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"68","issue":"4","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":8,"text":"Raleigh PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5a60fd1fe4b06e28e9c2477c","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Kaemingk, Mark A.","contributorId":40510,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Kaemingk","given":"Mark","email":"","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":722934,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Jolley, Jeffrey C.","contributorId":195102,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Jolley","given":"Jeffrey","email":"","middleInitial":"C.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":722935,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Paukert, Craig P. 0000-0002-9369-8545 cpaukert@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9369-8545","contributorId":147821,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Paukert","given":"Craig","email":"cpaukert@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"P.","affiliations":[{"id":411,"text":"National Climate Change and Wildlife Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":198,"text":"Coop Res Unit Atlanta","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":718107,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Willis, David W.","contributorId":55313,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Willis","given":"David","email":"","middleInitial":"W.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":722936,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Henderson, Kjetil R.","contributorId":191695,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Henderson","given":"Kjetil R.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":722937,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Holland, Richard S.","contributorId":200634,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Holland","given":"Richard","email":"","middleInitial":"S.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":722938,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6},{"text":"Wanner, Greg A.","contributorId":200635,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Wanner","given":"Greg","email":"","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":722939,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":7},{"text":"Lindvall, Mark L.","contributorId":200636,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Lindvall","given":"Mark","email":"","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":722940,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":8}]}}

Both restoration actions and impact assessments can become “adaptive” by using the knowledge gained from long-term monitoring and analysis to revise the actions, monitoring, conceptual model, or interpretation of findings so that subsequent actions or assessments are better informed. Assessments of impact or restoration success are especially challenging when the indicators of interest are imperiled species and/or the impacts being addressed are complex. From 1997 to 2015, we worked closely with two federal agencies to monitor habitat availability for and population density of Roanoke logperch (</span><i>Percina rex</i><span>), an endangered fish, in a 24-km-long segment of the upper Roanoke River, VA. We primarily used a Before-After-Control-Impact analytical framework to assess potential impacts of a river channelization project on the<span>&nbsp;</span></span><i>P. rex</i><span><span>&nbsp;</span>population. In this paper, we summarize how our extensive monitoring facilitated the evolution of our (a) conceptual understanding of the ecosystem and fish population dynamics; (b) choices of ecological indicators and analytical tools; and (c) conclusions regarding the magnitude, mechanisms, and significance of observed impacts. Our experience with this case study taught us important lessons about how to adaptively develop and conduct a monitoring program, which we believe are broadly applicable to assessments of environmental impact and restoration success in other rivers. In particular, we learned that (a) pre-treatment planning can enhance monitoring effectiveness, help avoid unforeseen pitfalls, and lead to more robust conclusions; (b) developing adaptable conceptual and analytical models early was crucial to organizing our knowledge, guiding our study design, and analyzing our data; (c) catchment-wide processes that we did not monitor, or initially consider, had profound implications for interpreting our findings; and (d) using multiple analytical frameworks, with varying assumptions, led to clearer interpretation of findings than the use of a single framework alone. Broader integration of these guiding principles into monitoring studies, though potentially challenging, could lead to more scientifically defensible assessments of project effects.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"MDPI","doi":"10.3390/w8060240","usgsCitation":"Roberts, J.H., Anderson, G.B., and Angermeier, P.L., 2016, A long-term study of ecological impacts of river channelization on the population of an endangered fish: Lessons learned for assessment and restoration: Water, v. 8, no. 6, p. 1-38, https://doi.org/10.3390/w8060240.","productDescription":"Article 240; 38 p.","startPage":"1","endPage":"38","ipdsId":"IP-073154","costCenters":[{"id":199,"text":"Coop Res Unit Leetown","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":470796,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/w8060240","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":348710,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"8","issue":"6","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":9,"text":"Reston PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2016-06-03","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5a60fd1fe4b06e28e9c24779","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Roberts, James H.","contributorId":83811,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Roberts","given":"James","email":"","middleInitial":"H.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":721841,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Anderson, Gregory B.","contributorId":65988,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Anderson","given":"Gregory","email":"","middleInitial":"B.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":721842,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Angermeier, Paul L. 0000-0003-2864-170X biota@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2864-170X","contributorId":166679,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Angermeier","given":"Paul","email":"biota@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[{"id":199,"text":"Coop Res Unit Leetown","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":719847,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3}]}}
