We investigated the ecology of Southern Watersnakes in Machado Lake, Harbor City, Los Angeles County, California, including an assessment of control opportunities. We captured 306 watersnakes as a result of aquatic trapping and hand captures. We captured snakes of all sizes (162–1063 mm snout–vent length [SVL], 3.5–873.3 g), demonstrating the existence of a well-established population. The smallest reproductive female was 490 mm SVL and females contained 12–46 postovulatory embryos (mean  =  21). Small watersnakes largely consumed introduced Western Mosquitofish (<i>Gambusia affinis</i>), while larger snakes specialized on larval and metamorph American Bullfrogs (<i>Lithobates catesbeianus</i>) and Green Sunfish (<i>Lepomis cyanellus</i>). Overall capture per unit effort (CPUE) in traps declined with time during an intensive 76-d trapping bout, but CPUE trends varied considerably among traplines and it is unlikely that the overall decline in CPUE represented a major decrease in the snake population size. Although we found no direct evidence that Southern Watersnakes are affecting native species in Machado Lake, this population may serve as a source for intentional or unintentional transportation of watersnakes to bodies of water containing imperiled native prey species or potential competitors.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"Chicago Academy of

Increases in population and land use in coming decades will place additional pressure on already limited available water supplies. We used a state-and-transition simulation model to project future changes in developed (municipal and industrial) and agricultural land use to estimate associated water use demand from 2012 to 2062. Under current efficiency rates, total water use was projected to increase 1.8 billion cubic meters(+4.1%) driven primarily by urbanization and shifts to more water intensive crops. Only if currently mandated 25% reductions in municipal water use are continuously implemented would water demand in 2062 balance to water use levels in 2012.

Because the northern long-eared bat is a forest habitat generalist, development of effective conservation measures will depend on appropriate understanding of its habitat relationships at individual locations. However, severely reduced population sizes make gathering data for such models difficult. As a result, historical data may be essential in development of habitat models. To date, there has been little evaluation of how effective historical bat presence data, such as data derived from mist-net captures, acoustic detection, and day-roost locations, may be in developing habitat models, nor is it clear how models created using different data sources may differ. We explored this issue by creating presence probability models for the northern long-eared bat on the Fernow Experimental Forest in the central Appalachian Mountains of West Virginia using a historical, presence-only data set. Each presence data type produced outputs that were dissimilar but that still corresponded with known traits of the northern long-eared bat or are easily explained in the context of the particular data collection protocol. However, our results also highlight potential limitations of individual data types. For example, models from mist-net capture data only showed high probability of presence along the dendritic network of riparian areas, an obvious artifact of sampling methodology. Development of ecological niche and presence models for northern long-eared bat populations could be highly valuable for resource managers going forward with this species.

Diet estimation therefore remains an active area of research within quantitative ecology. Quantitative fatty acid signature analysis (QFASA) is an increasingly common method of diet estimation. QFASA is based on a data library of prey signatures, which are vectors of proportions summarizing the fatty acid composition of lipids, and diet is estimated as the mixture of prey signatures that most closely approximates a predator&rsquo;s signature. Diets are typically estimated using proportions from a subset of all fatty acids that are known to be solely or largely influenced by diet. Given the subset of fatty acids selected, the current practice is to scale their proportions to sum to 1.0. However, scaling signature proportions has the potential to distort the structural relationships within a prey library and between predators and prey. To investigate that possibility, we compared the practice of scaling proportions with two alternatives and found that the traditional scaling can meaningfully bias diet estimators under some conditions. Two aspects of the prey types that contributed to a predator&rsquo;s diet influenced the magnitude of the bias: the degree to which the sums of unscaled proportions differed among prey types and the identifiability of prey types within the prey library. We caution investigators against the routine scaling of signature proportions in QFASA.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"Springer","doi":"10.1007/s11284-016-1357-8","usgsCitation":"Bromaghin, J.F., Budge, S.M., and Thiemann, G.W., 2016, Should fatty acid signature proportions sum to 1 for diet estimation?: Ecological Research, v. 31, no. 4, p. 597-606, https://doi.org/10.1007/s11284-016-1357-8.","productDescription":"10 p.","startPage":"597","endPage":"606","onlineOnly":"N","additionalOnlineFiles":"N","ipdsId":"IP-071161","costCenters":[{"id":116,"text":"Alaska Science Center Biology MFEB","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":324215,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"31","issue":"4","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":12,"text":"Tacoma PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2016-03-29","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"576bb6bce4b07657d1a22954","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Bromaghin, Jeffrey F. 0000-0002-7209-9500 jbromaghin@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7209-9500","contributorId":139899,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Bromaghin","given":"Jeffrey","email":"jbromaghin@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"F.","affiliations":[{"id":114,"text":"Alaska Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":116,"text":"Alaska Science Center Biology MFEB","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":638834,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Budge, Suzanne M.","contributorId":92168,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Budge","given":"Suzanne","email":"","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[{"id":24650,"text":"Dalhousie University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":638835,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Thiemann, Gregory W.","contributorId":83023,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Thiemann","given":"Gregory","email":"","middleInitial":"W.","affiliations":[{"id":27291,"text":"York University, Toronto, ON","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":638836,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3}]}}

We determined whole-fish total mercury (Hg) concentrations in 23 female summer flounder (Paralichthys dentatus) and 27 male summer flounder from New Jersey coastal waters. To estimate the change in Hg concentration due to release of eggs at spawning, Hg concentration in the somatic tissue and ovaries of 5 of the 23 female summer flounder were also determined. To ascertain whether most of the Hg in the summer flounder was methylmercury (MeHg), whole-fish MeHg concentrations were determined in all 50 summer flounder. Whole-fish Hg concentrations averaged 113 ng/g for females and 111 ng/g for males. Thus, females were 2% higher in Hg concentration than males, on average, but the difference was not statistically significant. Based on Hg determinations in the somatic tissue and ovaries, we predicted that Hg concentration of females would increase by 3.6%, on average, immediately after spawning due to release of eggs. On average, 92% of the Hg in the summer flounder was MeHg. To determine whether the effect of sex on Hg concentration was significantly different from the effect of sex on polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) concentration, we paired our Hg determinations with PCB determinations from a previous study, and applied regression analysis. Sex significantly interacted with contaminant type (Hg or PCBs), as males were 43% higher in PCB concentration than females, whereas females were 2% higher in Hg concentration than males. Males eliminating Hg from their bodies at a faster rate than females was a likely explanation for this discrepancy between the two contaminant types. Overall, the Hg and PCB concentrations in the summer flounder were relatively low, and therefore our findings also had implications for continued operation of the summer flounder fishery.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"OMICS International","doi":"10.4172/2155-9910.1000188","usgsCitation":"Madenjian, C.P., Jensen, O.P., Krabbenhoft, D.P., DeWild, J.F., Ogorek, J.M., and Vastano, A.R., 2016, Mercury accumulation and the mercury-PCB-sex interaction in summer flounder: Journal of Marine Science: Research & Development, v. 6, no. 2, p. 1-7, https://doi.org/10.4172/2155-9910.1000188.","productDescription":"Article 188; 7 p.","startPage":"1","endPage":"7","onlineOnly":"N","additionalOnlineFiles":"N","ipdsId":"IP-070868","costCenters":[{"id":324,"text":"Great Lakes Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":34983,"text":"Contaminant Biology Program","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":470923,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.4172/2155-9910.1000188","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":324259,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"6","issue":"2","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":6,"text":"Columbus PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"576bb6b8e4b07657d1a22906","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Madenjian, Charles P. 0000-0002-0326-164X cmadenjian@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0326-164X","contributorId":2200,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Madenjian","given":"Charles","email":"cmadenjian@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"P.","affiliations":[{"id":324,"text":"Great Lakes Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":638499,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Jensen, Olaf P.","contributorId":92159,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Jensen","given":"Olaf","email":"","middleInitial":"P.","affiliations":[{"id":12727,"text":"Rutgers University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":638500,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Krabbenhoft, David P. 0000-0003-1964-5020 dpkrabbe@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1964-5020","contributorId":1658,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Krabbenhoft","given":"David","email":"dpkrabbe@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"P.","affiliations":[{"id":37464,"text":"WMA - Laboratory & Analytical Services Division","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":677,"text":"Wisconsin Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":5044,"text":"National Research Program - Central Branch","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":37947,"text":"Upper Midwest Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":638501,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"DeWild, John F. 0000-0003-4097-2798 jfdewild@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4097-2798","contributorId":2525,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"DeWild","given":"John","email":"jfdewild@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"F.","affiliations":[{"id":677,"text":"Wisconsin Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":37947,"text":"Upper Midwest Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":638502,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Ogorek, Jacob M. 0000-0002-6327-0740 jmogorek@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6327-0740","contributorId":4960,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Ogorek","given":"Jacob","email":"jmogorek@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[{"id":606,"text":"Upper Midwest Environmental Sciences Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":37947,"text":"Upper Midwest Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":677,"text":"Wisconsin Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":638503,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Vastano, Anthony R.","contributorId":152434,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Vastano","given":"Anthony","email":"","middleInitial":"R.","affiliations":[{"id":12727,"text":"Rutgers University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":638504,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6}]}}

A growing number of tools can quantify ecosystem service tradeoffs associated with forest restoration. This evolving &ldquo;tools landscape&rdquo; presents a dilemma: more tools are available, but selecting appropriate tools has become more challenging. We present a Restoration Ecosystem Service Tool Selector (RESTS) framework that describes key characteristics of 13 ecosystem service assessment tools. Analysts enter information about their decision context, services to be analyzed, and desired outputs. Tools are filtered and presented based on five evaluative criteria: scalability, cost, time requirements, handling of uncertainty, and applicability to benefit-cost analysis. RESTS uses a spreadsheet interface but a web-based interface is planned. Given the rapid evolution of ecosystem services science, RESTS provides an adaptable framework to guide forest restoration decision makers toward tools that can help quantify ecosystem services in support of restoration.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"Springer-Verlag","doi":"10.1186/s40663-016-0062-y","usgsCitation":"Christin, Z., Bagstad, K.J., and Verdone, M., 2016, A decision framework for identifying models to estimate forest ecosystem services gains from restoration: Forest Ecosystems, v. 3, no. 3, 12 p., https://doi.org/10.1186/s40663-016-0062-y.","productDescription":"12 p.","onlineOnly":"N","additionalOnlineFiles":"N","ipdsId":"IP-068599","costCenters":[{"id":318,"text":"Geosciences and Environmental Change Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":470936,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s40663-016-0062-y","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":323946,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"3","issue":"3","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":2,"text":"Denver PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2016-02-10","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"576913aee4b07657d19fef82","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Christin, Zachary","contributorId":166875,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Christin","given":"Zachary","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":24565,"text":"Earth Economics","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":620239,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Bagstad, Kenneth J. 0000-0001-8857-5615 kjbagstad@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8857-5615","contributorId":3680,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Bagstad","given":"Kenneth","email":"kjbagstad@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[{"id":318,"text":"Geosciences and Environmental Change Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":620238,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Verdone, Michael","contributorId":166876,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Verdone","given":"Michael","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":24566,"text":"International Union for the Conservation of Nature","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":620240,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3}]}}

For spherical waves originating within the network, we use two related time difference of arrival (TDOA) methods to detect and localize the source. We investigate a modified envelope function to enhance the signal‐to‐noise ratio and emphasize both high energies and energy contrasts within a spectrogram. We apply these methods to recent eruptions from Cleveland, Veniaminof, and Pavlof Volcanoes, Alaska. Array processing of GCA from Cleveland Volcano on 4 May 2013 produces robust detection and wave characterization. Our modified envelopes substantially improve the short‐term average/long‐term average ratios, enhancing explosion detection. We detect GCA within both the Veniaminof and Pavlof networks from the 2007 and 2013–2014 activity, indicating repeated volcanic explosions. Event clustering and forward modeling suggests that high‐resolution localization is possible for GCA on typical volcano seismic networks. These results indicate that GCA can be used to help detect, locate, characterize, and monitor volcanic eruptions, particularly in difficult‐to‐monitor regions. We have implemented these GCA detection algorithms into our operational volcano‐monitoring algorithms at the Alaska Volcano Observatory.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Seismological Society of America","doi":"10.1785/0120150244","usgsCitation":"Fee, D., Haney, M.M., Matoza, R.S., Szuberla, C.A., Lyons, J.J., and Waythomas, C.F., 2016, Seismic envelope-based detection and location of ground-coupled airwaves from volcanoes in Alaska: Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, v. 106, no. 3, p. 1024-1035, https://doi.org/10.1785/0120150244.","productDescription":"12 p.","startPage":"1024","endPage":"1035","ipdsId":"IP-070834","costCenters":[{"id":617,"text":"Volcano Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":348102,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Alaska","volume":"106","issue":"3","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":14,"text":"Menlo Park PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2016-04-05","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"59fc2ea7e4b0531197b27f8d","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Fee, David","contributorId":199660,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Fee","given":"David","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":719780,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Haney, Matthew M. 0000-0003-3317-7884 mhaney@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3317-7884","contributorId":172948,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Haney","given":"Matthew","email":"mhaney@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[{"id":615,"text":"Volcano Hazards Program","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":617,"text":"Volcano Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":719779,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Matoza, Robin S.","contributorId":54873,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Matoza","given":"Robin","email":"","middleInitial":"S.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":719781,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Szuberla, Curt A.L.","contributorId":175150,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Szuberla","given":"Curt","email":"","middleInitial":"A.L.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":719782,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Lyons, John J. 0000-0001-5409-1698 jlyons@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5409-1698","contributorId":5394,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Lyons","given":"John","email":"jlyons@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[{"id":617,"text":"Volcano Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":615,"text":"Volcano Hazards Program","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":719783,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Waythomas, Christopher F. 0000-0002-3898-272X cwaythomas@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3898-272X","contributorId":640,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Waythomas","given":"Christopher","email":"cwaythomas@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"F.","affiliations":[{"id":617,"text":"Volcano Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":719784,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6}]}}

Details of the resistivity model are discussed in relation to lithospheric sutures, defined primarily from aeromagnetic and geochronologic data, which record the southward growth of the Laurentian margin in the Proterozoic. The resistivity signature of the 1.1&nbsp;Ga Mid-continent Rift System is examined in detail, in particular as relates to rift geometry, extent, and segmentation. An unrecognized expanse of (concealed) Proterozoic deltaic deposits in Kansas is identified and speculated to result from axial drainage along the southwest rift arm akin to the Rio Grande delta which drains multiple rift basins. A prominent conductor traces out Cambrian rifting in Arkansas, Missouri, Tennessee, and Kentucky; this linear conductor has not been imaged before and suggests that the Cambrian rift system may have been more extensive than previously thought. The highest conductivity within the mid-continent is imaged in Minnesota, Michigan, and Wisconsin where it is coincident with Paleoproterozoic metasedimentary rocks. The high conductivity is attributed to metallic sulfides, and in some cases, graphite. The former is a potential source of sulfur for multiple mineral deposits types, occurrences of which are found throughout the region. Finally, the imprint left within the mantle following the 1.1&nbsp;Ga rifting event is examined. Variations in lithospheric mantle conductivity are observed and are interpreted to reflect variations in water content (depleted versus metasomatized mantle) imprinted upon the mantle by the Keweenawan mantle plume.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Elsevier","doi":"10.1016/j.precamres.2016.03.009","usgsCitation":"Bedrosian, P.A., 2016, Making it and breaking it in the Midwest: Continental assembly and rifting from modeling of EarthScope magnetotelluric data: Precambrian Research, v. 278, p. 337-361, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.precamres.2016.03.009.","productDescription":"15 p.","startPage":"337","endPage":"361","ipdsId":"IP-071110","costCenters":[{"id":211,"text":"Crustal Geophysics and Geochemistry Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":37273,"text":"Advanced Research Computing (ARC)","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":470941,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.precamres.2016.03.009","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":330684,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"278","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":2,"text":"Denver PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"581c4cc3e4b09688d6e90fb7","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Bedrosian, Paul A. 0000-0002-6786-1038 pbedrosian@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6786-1038","contributorId":839,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Bedrosian","given":"Paul","email":"pbedrosian@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[{"id":312,"text":"Geology, Minerals, Energy, and Geophysics Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":211,"text":"Crustal Geophysics and Geochemistry Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":652813,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1}]}}

This combined approach allowed us to rapidly focus efforts at locations where prodigious amounts of groundwater discharged to the Quashnet River on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, northeastern USA. FO-DTS detected numerous anomalously cold reaches one to several m long that persisted over two summers. Seepage meters positioned upstream, within, and downstream of 7 anomalously cold reaches indicated that rapid groundwater discharge occurred precisely where the bed was cold; median upward seepage was nearly 5 times faster than seepage measured in streambed areas not identified as cold.

The TSLF is the largest open-site vertebrate fossil assemblage dating to the Rancholabrean North American Land Mammal Age in the southern Great Basin and Mojave Desert. Over 600 discrete body fossil localities have been recorded from the wash, including an area that now encompasses Tule Springs Fossil Beds National Monument (TUSK). Paleowetland sediments exposed in TUSK named the Las Vegas Formation span the last 250 ka, with fossiliferous sediments spanning ∼100–13 ka. The recovered fauna is dominated by remains of </span><i>Camelops</i><span>and </span><i>Mammuthus</i><span>, and also includes relatively common remains of extinct </span><i>Equus</i><span>and </span><i>Bison</i><span>as well as abundant vertebrate microfaunal fossils.

The confirmed presence of </span><i>S. fatalis</i><span> in the TSLF is of particular interest, indicating that this species inhabited open habitats.

Our objective was to investigate effects of repeated simulated removal activities on feral swine movements and space use. We analyzed location data from 21 feral swine that we fitted with Global Positioning System harnesses in southern MO, USA. Various removal activities were applied over time to eight feral swine before lethal removal, including trapped-and-released, chased with dogs, chased with hunter, and chased with helicopter. We found that core space-use areas were reduced following the first removal activity, whereas overall space-use areas and diurnal movement distances increased following the second removal activity. Mean geographic centroid shifts did not differ between pre- and post-periods for either the first or second removal activities. Our information on feral swine movements and space use precipitated by human removal activities, such as hunting, trapping, and chasing with dogs, helps fill a knowledge void and will aid wildlife managers. Strategies to optimize management are needed to reduce feral swine populations while preventing enlarged home ranges and displacing individuals, which could lead to increased disease transmission risk and human-feral swine conflict in adjacent areas.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg","doi":"10.1007/s10344-016-1000-6","usgsCitation":"Fischer, J.W., McMurtry, D., Blass, C.R., Walter, W.D., Beringer, J., and VerCauterren, K.C., 2016, Effects of repeated simulated removal activities on feral swine movements and space use: European Journal of Wildlife Research, v. 62, no. 3, p. 285-292, https://doi.org/10.1007/s10344-016-1000-6.","productDescription":"8 p.

Both the stratigraphy from Enewetak Atoll (constrained by a subsidence rate of ~&nbsp;20&nbsp;m/Myr) and our numerical modeling results suggest that low sea levels (50–125&nbsp;m below present), and presumably bi-polar glaciations, occurred throughout much of the late Miocene, preceding the warmer climate of the Pliocene, when sea level was higher than present. Carbonate dissolution through the subsequent sea-level fall that accompanied the onset of large glacial cycles in the late Pliocene, along with rapid highstand constructional reef growth, likely drove development of the rimmed atoll morphology we see today.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Elsevier ","doi":"10.1016/j.palaeo.2016.03.018","usgsCitation":"Toomey, M., Ashton, A., Raymo, M.E., and Perron, J.T., 2016, Cenozoic sea level and the rise of modern rimmed atolls: Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, v. 451, p. 73-83, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.palaeo.2016.03.018.","productDescription":"11 p.

The interaction among these plates at depth is not well understood, and further east, even less is known about the plate boundary or the source of Wrangell volcanism. The drop-off in Wadati-Benioff zone (WBZ) seismicity could signal the end of the plate boundary, the start of aseismic subduction, or a tear in the downgoing plate. Further compounding the issue is the possible presence of the Wrangell slab, which is faintly outlined by an anemic, eastward-dipping WBZ beneath the Wrangell volcanoes. In this study, I performed a search for tectonic tremor to map slow, plate-boundary slip in south-central Alaska. I identified ∼11,000 tremor epicenters, which continue 85 km east of the inferred Pacific plate edge marked by WBZ seismicity. The tremor zone coincides with the edges of the downgoing Yakutat terrane, and tremors transition from periodic to continuous behavior as they near the aseismic Wrangell slab. I interpret tremor to mark slow, semicontinuous slip occurring at the interface between the Yakutat and North America plates. The slow slip region lengthens the megathrust interface beyond the WBZ and may provide evidence for a connection between the Yakutat slab and the aseismic Wrangell slab.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Geological Society of America","doi":"10.1130/G37817.1","usgsCitation":"Wech, A.G., 2016, Extending Alaska's plate boundary: tectonic tremor generated by Yakutat subduction: Geology, v. 44, no. 7, p. 587-590, https://doi.org/10.1130/G37817.1.","productDescription":"4 p.","startPage":"587","endPage":"590","ipdsId":"IP-074024","costCenters":[{"id":617,"text":"Volcano Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":336769,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"44","issue":"7","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":14,"text":"Menlo Park PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2016-07-01","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"58b7eba8e4b01ccd5500bb21","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Wech, Aaron G. 0000-0003-4983-1991 awech@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4983-1991","contributorId":5344,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Wech","given":"Aaron","email":"awech@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"G.","affiliations":[{"id":114,"text":"Alaska Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":617,"text":"Volcano Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":237,"text":"Earthquake Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":673843,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1}]}}

Thorium is frequently found within rare earth element&ndash;bearing minerals that exist in diverse types of mineral deposits, often in conjunction with other minerals mined for their commercial value. It may be possible to recover substantial quantities of thorium as a by-product from active titanium, uranium, tin, iron, and rare earth mines. Incremental physical and chemical processing is required to obtain a purified thorium product from thorium minerals, but documented experience with these processes is extensive, and incorporating thorium recovery should not be overly challenging. The anticipated environmental impacts of by-product thorium recovery are small relative to those of uranium recovery since existing mining infrastructure utilization avoids the opening and operation of new mines and thorium recovery removes radionuclides from the mining tailings.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"American Nuclear Society","doi":"10.13182/NT15-83","usgsCitation":"Ault, T., Van Gosen, B.S., Krahn, S., and Croff, A., 2016, Natural thorium resources and recovery: Options and impacts: Nuclear Technology, v. 194, no. 2, p. 136-151, https://doi.org/10.13182/NT15-83.","productDescription":"16 p.","startPage":"136","endPage":"151","onlineOnly":"N","additionalOnlineFiles":"N","ipdsId":"IP-063647","costCenters":[{"id":171,"text":"Central Mineral and Environmental Resources Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":324276,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"194","issue":"2","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":2,"text":"Denver PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2017-03-27","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"576bb6b8e4b07657d1a22913","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Ault, Timothy","contributorId":139726,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Ault","given":"Timothy","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":12893,"text":"Vanderbilt University School of Engineering","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":542685,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Van Gosen, Bradley S. 0000-0003-4214-3811 bvangose@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4214-3811","contributorId":1174,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Van Gosen","given":"Bradley","email":"bvangose@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"S.","affiliations":[{"id":171,"text":"Central Mineral and Environmental Resources Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":387,"text":"Mineral Resources Program","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":542684,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Krahn, Steven","contributorId":139727,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Krahn","given":"Steven","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":12893,"text":"Vanderbilt University School of Engineering","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":542686,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Croff, Allen","contributorId":139728,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Croff","given":"Allen","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":12893,"text":"Vanderbilt University School of Engineering","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":542687,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4}]}}

Capture and marking occurred during winter and summer on private lands in California and Idaho as well as on two National Wildlife Refuges: Cibola and Sonny Bono Salton Sea National Wildlife Refuges. A majority of marked greater sandhill cranes summered in what is established Lower Colorado River Valley Population breeding areas in northeastern Nevada and southwestern Idaho. A handful of greater sandhill cranes summered outside of traditional breeding areas in west-central Idaho around Cascade Reservoir near Donnelly and Cascade, Idaho. For example, a greater sandhill crane colt captured near Donnelly in July 2014 survived to winter migration and moved south to areas associated with the Rocky Mountain Population. The integration of the greater sandhill crane colt captured near Donnelly provides the first evidence of potential intermingling between the Lower Colorado River Population and Rocky Mountain Population. We suggest continued marking and banding efforts of all three western populations of greater sandhill cranes will accurately delineate population boundaries and connectivity and inform management decisions for the three populations.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Scientific Journals","doi":"10.3996/042015-JFWM-036","usgsCitation":"Collins, D.P., Grisham, B.A., Conring, C.M., Knetter, J.M., Conway, W.C., Carleton, S.A., and Boggie, M.A., 2016, New summer areas and mixing of two greater sandhill crane populations in the Intermountain West: Journal of Fish and Wildlife Management, v. 7, no. 1, p. 141-152, https://doi.org/10.3996/042015-JFWM-036.","productDescription":"12 p.","startPage":"141","endPage":"152","ipdsId":"IP-064961","costCenters":[{"id":200,"text":"Coop Res Unit Seattle","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":488713,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.3996/042015-jfwm-036","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":347173,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Arizona, California, Idaho","volume":"7","issue":"1","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":12,"text":"Tacoma PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2015-12-01","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"59eeffaae4b0220bbd988fbf","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Collins, Daniel P.","contributorId":198065,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Collins","given":"Daniel","email":"","middleInitial":"P.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":714991,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Grisham, Blake A.","contributorId":75419,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Grisham","given":"Blake","email":"","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":714992,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Conring, Courtenay M.","contributorId":198066,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Conring","given":"Courtenay","email":"","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":714993,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Knetter, Jeffrey M.","contributorId":198067,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Knetter","given":"Jeffrey","email":"","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":714994,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Conway, Warren C.","contributorId":51550,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Conway","given":"Warren","email":"","middleInitial":"C.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":714995,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Carleton, Scott A. 0000-0001-9609-650X scarleton@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9609-650X","contributorId":4060,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Carleton","given":"Scott","email":"scarleton@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[{"id":200,"text":"Coop Res Unit Seattle","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":714617,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6},{"text":"Boggie, Matthew A.","contributorId":198068,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Boggie","given":"Matthew","email":"","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":714996,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":7}]}}
