Easy-to-use FLCC data are needed to quantify the impacts of FLC on ecosystem dynamics during hot, dry Mediterranean climate summers. FLCC indices were generated from 26,000 hourly night and day FLCC maps derived from Geostationary Environmental Operational Satellite (GOES) data for June, July, August, and September, 1999- 2009 for coastal California, latitude 34.50&deg;N, south of Monterey Bay, to latitude 41.95&deg;N, north of Crescent City. Monthly FLCC average hours per day (h/d) range from &lt; 2 to 18. Average FLCC over the ocean increases from north (9 h/d) to south (14 h/d) whereas FLCC over land is reversed. Over land, FLCC is highest where land juts into the prevailing NW winds and is lowest in the lee of major capes. FLCC advects furthest inland through low-lying NW ocean-facing valleys. At night hours of FLCC is higher more frequently on land than over the ocean. Interannual FLCC coefficient of variation shows long term geographic stability strongly associated with landform position. Contours delineating homogeneous zones of FLCC, derived from average decadal h/d FLCC, provide data to refine the commonly used term &lsquo;fog belt.&rsquo; FLCC indices are available for download from the California Landscape Conservation Cooperative Climate Commons website. FLCC indices can be used to improve analyses of biogeographic and bioclimatic species distribution models, meteorological mechanisms driving FLCC patterns, ecohydrological investigations of evapotranspiration, solar energy feasibility studies, agricultural irrigation demand and viticultural ripening models.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"John Wiley & Sons","publisherLocation":"Hoboken, NJ","doi":"10.1002/2015EA000119","usgsCitation":"Torregrosa, A.A., Combs, C., and Peters, J., 2015, GOES-derived fog and low cloud indices for coastal north and central California ecological analyses: Earth and Space Science, v. 3, no. 2, p. 46-67, https://doi.org/10.1002/2015EA000119.","productDescription":"22 p.","startPage":"46","endPage":"67","onlineOnly":"N","additionalOnlineFiles":"N","ipdsId":"IP-059929","costCenters":[{"id":657,"text":"Western Geographic Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":471785,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/2015ea000119","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":323876,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"3","issue":"2","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":14,"text":"Menlo Park PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2016-02-04","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"57651f34e4b07657d19c78a1","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Torregrosa, Alicia A. 0000-0001-7361-2241 atorregrosa@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7361-2241","contributorId":3471,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Torregrosa","given":"Alicia","email":"atorregrosa@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[{"id":657,"text":"Western Geographic Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":582024,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Combs, Cindy","contributorId":150538,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Combs","given":"Cindy","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":18046,"text":"2Cooperative Institute for Research in the Atmosphere; Colorado State University, Boulder, CO","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":582025,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Peters, Jeff 0000-0003-4312-0590 jpeters@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4312-0590","contributorId":4711,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Peters","given":"Jeff","email":"jpeters@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":657,"text":"Western Geographic Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":617,"text":"Volcano Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":582026,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3}]}}

Thus, the relative difference in Hg concentrations between the sexes for skin-off fillets was nearly identical to that for whole fish. However, mean skin-off fillet Hg concentration (363 ng/g) was 2.3 times greater than mean whole-fish Hg concentration (155 ng/g).

We evaluated effects of gill-net trauma, barotrauma, and deep-release treatment on postrelease mortality of lake trout&nbsp;</span><i>Salvelinus namaycush</i><span>. Lake trout were captured at depths up to 65 m with gill nets in Priest Lake, Idaho, and held in a large enclosure for 10&ndash;12 d. Postrelease mortality was the same for surface-release&ndash;and deep-release&ndash;treated fish (41%). Mixed-effects logistic regression models were used to evaluate effects of intrinsic and environmental factors on the probability of mortality. Presence of gill-net trauma and degree of barotrauma were associated with increased probability of postrelease mortality. Smaller fish were also more likely to suffer postrelease mortality. On average, deep-release treatment did not reduce postrelease mortality, but effectiveness of treatment increased with fish length. Of the environmental factors evaluated, only elapsed time between lifting the first and last anchors of a gill-net gang (i.e., lift time) was significantly related to postrelease mortality. Longer lift times, which may allow ascending lake trout to acclimate to depressurization, were associated with lower postrelease mortality rates. Our study suggests that postrelease mortality may be higher than previously assumed for lake trout because mortality continues after 48 h. In future studies, postrelease mortality could be reduced by increasing gill-net lift times and increasing mesh size used to increase length of fish captured.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Scientific Journals","doi":"10.3996/122014-JFWM-096","usgsCitation":"Ng, E.L., Fredericks, J.P., and Quist, M., 2015, Effects of gill-net trauma, barotrauma, and deep release on postrelease mortality of Lake Trout: Journal of Fish and Wildlife Management, v. 6, no. 2, p. 265-277, https://doi.org/10.3996/122014-JFWM-096.","productDescription":"13 p.","startPage":"265","endPage":"277","onlineOnly":"N","additionalOnlineFiles":"N","ipdsId":"IP-059984","costCenters":[{"id":200,"text":"Coop Res Unit Seattle","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":490007,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.3996/122014-jfwm-096","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":324666,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Idaho","otherGeospatial":"Priest Lake","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -116.93161010742188,\n              48.473376498523656\n            ],\n            [\n              -116.93161010742188,\n              48.748945343432936\n            ],\n            [\n              -116.81625366210938,\n              48.748945343432936\n            ],\n            [\n              -116.81625366210938,\n              48.473376498523656\n            ],\n            [\n              -116.93161010742188,\n              48.473376498523656\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"6","issue":"2","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":12,"text":"Tacoma PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2015-04-01","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"577642afe4b07dd077c873fa","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Ng, Elizabeth L.","contributorId":166901,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Ng","given":"Elizabeth","email":"","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[{"id":13247,"text":"University of Idaho, Fish and Wildlife Sciences","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":620730,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Fredericks, Jim P.","contributorId":166902,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Fredericks","given":"Jim","email":"","middleInitial":"P.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":620731,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Quist, Michael C. mquist@usgs.gov","contributorId":166707,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Quist","given":"Michael C.","email":"mquist@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":200,"text":"Coop Res Unit Seattle","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":619795,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3}]}}

Ecological predictive modeling, statistical hypothesis tests, and genetic signatures of demographic change can provide a powerful integrated toolset for investigating these biodiversity responses to climate change, and relative resiliency across different communities. Within the biotic province of Beringia, we analyzed specimen localities and DNA sequences from 28 mammal species associated with boreal forest and Arctic tundra biomes to assess both historical distributional and evolutionary responses and then forecasted future changes based on statistical assessments of past and present trajectories, and quantified distributional and demographic changes in relation to major management regions within the study area. We addressed three sets of hypotheses associated with aspects of methodological, biological, and socio-political importance by asking (1) what is the consistency among implications of predicted changes based on the results of both ecological and evolutionary analyses; (2) what are the ecological and evolutionary implications of climate change considering either total regional diversity or distinct communities associated with major biomes; and (3) are there differences in management implications across regions? Our results indicate increasing Arctic richness through time that highlights a potential state shift across the Arctic landscape. However, within distinct ecological communities, we found a predicted decline in the range and effective population size of tundra species into several discrete refugial areas. Consistency in results based on a combination of both ecological and evolutionary approaches demonstrates increased statistical confidence by applying cross-discipline comparative analyses to conservation of biodiversity, particularly considering variable management regimes that seek to balance sustainable ecosystems with other anthropogenic values. Refugial areas for cold-adapted taxa appear to be persistent across both warm and cold climate phases and although fragmented, constitute vital regions for persistence of Arctic mammals.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Ecological Society of America","doi":"10.1890/ES15-00104.1","usgsCitation":"Hope, A.G., Waltari, E., Malaney, J.L., Payer, D.C., Cook, J., and Talbot, S.L., 2015, Arctic biodiversity: Increasing richness accompanies shrinking refugia for a cold-associated tundra fauna: Ecosphere, v. 6, no. 9, p. 1-67, https://doi.org/10.1890/ES15-00104.1.","productDescription":"67 p.","startPage":"1","endPage":"67","onlineOnly":"N","additionalOnlineFiles":"N","ipdsId":"IP-056204","costCenters":[{"id":117,"text":"Alaska Science Center Biology WTEB","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":471531,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1890/es15-00104.1","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":319203,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"6","issue":"9","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":12,"text":"Tacoma PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2015-09-28","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"56f3be2ce4b0f59b85e02da3","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Hope, Andrew G. 0000-0003-3814-2891 ahope@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3814-2891","contributorId":4309,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Hope","given":"Andrew","email":"ahope@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"G.","affiliations":[{"id":117,"text":"Alaska Science Center Biology WTEB","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":623251,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Waltari, Eric","contributorId":105946,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Waltari","given":"Eric","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":623284,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Malaney, Jason L.","contributorId":140462,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Malaney","given":"Jason","email":"","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[{"id":13048,"text":"Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Science, University of Nevada","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":623285,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Payer, David C.","contributorId":7495,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Payer","given":"David","email":"","middleInitial":"C.","affiliations":[{"id":6987,"text":"U.S. Fish and Wildlife Sevice","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":623286,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Cook, J.A.","contributorId":60868,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Cook","given":"J.A.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":623287,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Talbot, Sandra L. 0000-0002-3312-7214 stalbot@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3312-7214","contributorId":140512,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Talbot","given":"Sandra","email":"stalbot@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[{"id":117,"text":"Alaska Science Center Biology WTEB","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":114,"text":"Alaska Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":623252,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6}]}}

However, in teaching Bayesian methods and in working with our research colleagues, we have noticed a general dissatisfaction with the available literature on Bayesian model selection and multimodel inference. Students and researchers new to Bayesian methods quickly find that the published advice on model selection is often preferential in its treatment of options for analysis, frequently advocating one particular method above others. The recent appearance of many articles and textbooks on Bayesian modeling has provided welcome background on relevant approaches to model selection in the Bayesian framework, but most of these are either very narrowly focused in scope or inaccessible to ecologists. Moreover, the methodological details of Bayesian model selection approaches are spread thinly throughout the literature, appearing in journals from many different fields. Our aim with this guide is to condense the large body of literature on Bayesian approaches to model selection and multimodel inference and present it specifically for quantitative ecologists as neutrally as possible. We also bring to light a few important and fundamental concepts relating directly to model selection that seem to have gone unnoticed in the ecological literature. Throughout, we provide only a minimal discussion of philosophy, preferring instead to examine the breadth of approaches as well as their practical advantages and disadvantages.

They were monitored intensively for 3&nbsp;years immediately post-reintroduction, but no estimation of the size or genetic diversity of the population had been conducted in over 20&nbsp;years since reintroduction. We returned to CUIS in 2012 to estimate abundance and effective population size of the present-day population, as well as to quantify genetic diversity and inbreeding. We amplified 12 nuclear microsatellite loci from DNA isolated from scats to establish genetic profiles to identify individuals. We used spatially explicit capture&ndash;recapture population estimation to estimate abundance. From nine unique genetic profiles, we estimate a population size of 14.4 (SE&nbsp;=&nbsp;3.052) bobcats, with an effective population size (</span><i>N</i><span>e</span><span>) of 5&ndash;8 breeding individuals. This is consistent with predictions of a population viability analysis conducted at the time of reintroduction, which estimated the population would average 12&ndash;13 bobcats after 10&nbsp;years. We identified several pairs of related bobcats (parent-offspring and full siblings), but ~75% of the pairwise comparisons were typical of unrelated individuals, and only one individual appeared inbred. Despite the small population size and other indications that it has likely experienced a genetic bottleneck, levels of genetic diversity in the CUIS bobcat population remain high compared to other mammalian carnivores. The reintroduction of bobcats to CUIS provides an opportunity to study changes in genetic diversity in an insular population without risk to this common species. Opportunities for natural immigration to the island are limited; therefore, continued monitoring and supplemental bobcat reintroductions could be used to evaluate the effect of different management strategies to maintain genetic diversity and population viability. The successful reintroduction and maintenance of a bobcat population on CUIS illustrates the suitability of translocation as a management tool for re-establishing felid populations.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Wiley","doi":"10.1002/ece3.1750","usgsCitation":"Diefenbach, D.R., Hansen, L.A., Bohling, J.H., and Miller-Butterworth, C., 2015, Population and genetic outcomes 20 years after reintroducing bobcats (<i>Lynx rufus</i>) to Cumberland Island, Georgia USA: Ecology and Evolution, v. 5, no. 21, p. 4885-4895, https://doi.org/10.1002/ece3.1750.","productDescription":"11 p.","startPage":"4885","endPage":"4895","onlineOnly":"N","additionalOnlineFiles":"N","ipdsId":"IP-064333","costCenters":[{"id":199,"text":"Coop Res Unit Leetown","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":471529,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/ece3.1750","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":323382,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Georgia","otherGeospatial":"Cumberland Island","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -81.4031982421875,\n              30.980552589134298\n            ],\n            [\n              -81.39907836914062,\n              30.904581367044212\n            ],\n            [\n              -81.4251708984375,\n              30.828549798137225\n            ],\n            [\n              -81.4471435546875,\n              30.796704732329218\n            ],\n            [\n              -81.45606994628906,\n              30.760128865274268\n            ],\n            [\n              -81.44233703613281,\n              30.711732980916167\n            ],\n            [\n              -81.45538330078125,\n              30.70937158441273\n            ],\n            [\n              -81.48971557617188,\n              30.731802516787106\n            ],\n            [\n              -81.48216247558594,\n              30.74773711283919\n            ],\n            [\n              -81.47392272949219,\n              30.77369895462042\n            ],\n            [\n              -81.47254943847656,\n              30.814397738820233\n            ],\n            [\n              -81.47254943847656,\n              30.832087487077953\n            ],\n            [\n              -81.4691162109375,\n              30.853310882590385\n            ],\n            [\n              -81.47323608398438,\n              30.881012137733634\n            ],\n            [\n              -81.45675659179688,\n              30.92519968313374\n            ],\n            [\n              -81.43753051757812,\n              30.935212690426727\n            ],\n            [\n              -81.42929077148438,\n              30.964656633451174\n            ],\n            [\n              -81.42379760742188,\n              30.979375201714394\n            ],\n            [\n              -81.4031982421875,\n              30.980552589134298\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"5","issue":"21","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":9,"text":"Reston PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2015-10-12","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"575a9334e4b04f417c27516e","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Diefenbach, Duane R. 0000-0001-5111-1147 drd11@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5111-1147","contributorId":5235,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Diefenbach","given":"Duane","email":"drd11@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"R.","affiliations":[{"id":199,"text":"Coop Res Unit Leetown","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":638064,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Hansen, Leslie A.","contributorId":171655,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Hansen","given":"Leslie","email":"","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[{"id":13447,"text":"Los Alamos National Laboratory","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":638224,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Bohling, Justin H.","contributorId":171656,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Bohling","given":"Justin","email":"","middleInitial":"H.","affiliations":[{"id":6975,"text":"Penn State","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":638225,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Miller-Butterworth, Cassandra","contributorId":171657,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Miller-Butterworth","given":"Cassandra","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":6975,"text":"Penn State","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":638226,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4}]}}

Due to salamander use of structurally complex habitats, and because only a portion of a population is available for sampling, evaluation of sampling designs and estimators is critical to provide strong inference about Plethodontid ecology and responses to conservation and management activities. We conducted a simulation study to evaluate the effectiveness of multi-scale and hierarchical single-scale occupancy models in the context of a Before-After Control-Impact (BACI) experimental design with multiple levels of sampling. Also, we fit the hierarchical single-scale model to empirical data collected for Oregon slender and Ensatina salamanders across two years on 66 forest stands in the Cascade Range, Oregon, USA. All models were fit within a Bayesian framework. Estimator precision in both models improved with increasing numbers of primary and secondary sampling units, underscoring the potential gains accrued when adding secondary sampling units. Both models showed evidence of estimator bias at low detection probabilities and low sample sizes; this problem was particularly acute for the multi-scale model. Our results suggested that sufficient sample sizes at both the primary and secondary sampling levels could ameliorate this issue. Empirical data indicated Oregon slender salamander occupancy was associated strongly with the amount of coarse woody debris (posterior mean = 0.74; SD = 0.24); Ensatina occupancy was not associated with amount of coarse woody debris (posterior mean = -0.01; SD = 0.29)</span><strong>.</strong><span>&nbsp;Our simulation results indicate that either model is suitable for use in an experimental study of Plethodontid salamanders provided that sample sizes are sufficiently large. However, hierarchical single-scale and multi-scale models describe different processes and estimate different parameters. As a result, we recommend careful consideration of study questions and objectives prior to sampling data and fitting models.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Public Library of Science","doi":"10.1371/journal.pone.0142903","usgsCitation":"Kroll, A.J., Garcia, T.S., Jones, J., Dugger, K., Murden, B., Johnson, J., Peerman, S., Brintz, B., and Rochelle, M., 2015, Evaluating multi-level models to test occupancy state responses of Plethodontid salamanders: PLoS ONE, v. 10, no. 11, e0142903; 19 p., https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0142903.","productDescription":"e0142903; 19 p.","onlineOnly":"N","additionalOnlineFiles":"N","ipdsId":"IP-066731","costCenters":[{"id":200,"text":"Coop Res Unit Seattle","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":471514,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0142903","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":323290,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"10","issue":"11","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":12,"text":"Tacoma PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2015-11-30","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"575941e1e4b04f417c256833","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Kroll, Andrew J.","contributorId":171590,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Kroll","given":"Andrew","email":"","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":638044,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Garcia, Tiffany S.","contributorId":171591,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Garcia","given":"Tiffany","email":"","middleInitial":"S.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":638045,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Jones, Jay E.","contributorId":171592,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Jones","given":"Jay E.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":638046,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Dugger, Katie M. 0000-0002-4148-246X cdugger@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4148-246X","contributorId":4399,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Dugger","given":"Katie","email":"cdugger@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[{"id":200,"text":"Coop Res Unit Seattle","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":638037,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Murden, Blake","contributorId":171593,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Murden","given":"Blake","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":638047,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Johnson, Josh","contributorId":171594,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Johnson","given":"Josh","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":638048,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6},{"text":"Peerman, Summer","contributorId":171595,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Peerman","given":"Summer","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":638049,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":7},{"text":"Brintz, Ben","contributorId":171596,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Brintz","given":"Ben","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":638050,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":8},{"text":"Rochelle, Michael","contributorId":171597,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Rochelle","given":"Michael","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":638051,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":9}]}}

We studied a marked population of the Wandering Tattler Tringa incana, during a three-year period (1997&ndash;1999) on nesting grounds in south-central Alaska. Two aspects of our results stand out. First is the previously undescribed preference for tattlers to nest several kilometers removed from pre-nesting feeding areas, mostly in association with both small (kettle) lakes and running water (near small distributaries of major drainages). Second is the apparent use of the study area by cohorts of birds of different breeding status, including (1) local breeders, which defended pre-breeding foraging areas, (2) local non-breeding birds, which remained on the area but were not territorial, and (3) transients that were captured later in the season, but not seen again on the area during the season of capture. We also found that (1) birds tended to nest in clusters despite what appeared to be the ample availability of nesting habitat, (2) they employed an inconspicuous&rsquo; nesting strategy whereby neither member of a pair betrayed its presence on the nesting area, and (3) females departed the area during early chick-rearing, leaving males to tend broods.</p>","language":"English","doi":"10.18194/ws.00016","usgsCitation":"Gill, R., Tomkovich, P.S., and Dementyev, M.N., 2015, Breeding ecology of Wandering Tattlers Tringa incana: a study from south-central Alaska: Wader Study Group Bulletin, v. 122, no. 2, p. 99-114, https://doi.org/10.18194/ws.00016.","productDescription":"16 p.","startPage":"99","endPage":"114","onlineOnly":"N","additionalOnlineFiles":"N","ipdsId":"IP-065013","costCenters":[{"id":117,"text":"Alaska Science Center Biology WTEB","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":323469,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":323464,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://www.waderstudygroup.org/article/7151/"}],"country":"United States","state":"Alaska","otherGeospatial":"Turquoise Lake","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -154.0550994873047,\n              60.75312148558718\n            ],\n            [\n              -154.0550994873047,\n              60.81077165171808\n            ],\n            [\n              -153.8518524169922,\n              60.81077165171808\n            ],\n            [\n              -153.8518524169922,\n              60.75312148558718\n            ],\n            [\n              -154.0550994873047,\n              60.75312148558718\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"122","issue":"2","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":12,"text":"Tacoma PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"575fd92be4b04f417c2baa05","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Gill, Robert E.

We empirically tested behavioral measures of tolerance against self-reports of previous policy-relevant behavior and behavioral intentions. Both composite behavioral measures were strongly correlated (</span><i>r</i><span>&nbsp;&gt; .70) with two attitudinal measures of tolerance commonly employed in the literature.

Unfortunately it has proven difficult to comprehensively study the reproductive behavior of broadcast-spawning fishes. The use of electronic data storage tags (DSTs) has the potential to provide insights into the behavior of fishes. These tags allow for data collection over relatively large spatial and temporal scales that can be correlated to predicted environmental conditions and ultimately be used to refine predictions of year class strength. In this paper we present data retrieved from DSTs demonstrating that events putatively identified as Atlantic cod spawning behavior is tied to a lunar cycle with a pronounced semi-lunar cycle within it.

In a previous study, a synthetic sex pheromone component 7&alpha;,12&alpha;, 24-trihydroxy-5&alpha;-cholan-3-one 24-sulfate (3kPZS) was applied to sea lamprey traps in eight streams at a final in-stream concentration of 10</span><span>&minus;12</span><span>&nbsp;M. Application of 3kPZS increased sea lamprey catch, but where and when 3kPZS had the greatest impact was not determined. Here, by applying 3kPZS to additional streams, we determined that overall increases in yearly exploitation rate (proportion of sea lampreys that were marked, released, and subsequently recaptured) were highest (20&ndash;40&nbsp;%) in wide streams (~40&nbsp;m) with low adult sea lamprey abundance (&lt;1000). Wide streams with low adult abundance may be representative of low-attraction systems for adult sea lamprey and, in the absence of other attractants (larval odor, sex pheromone), sea lamprey may have been more responsive to a partial sex pheromone blend emitted from traps. Furthermore, we found that the largest and most consistent responses to 3kPZS were during nights early in the trapping season, when water temperatures were increasing. This may have occurred because, during periods of increasing water temperatures, sea lamprey become more active and males at large may not have begun to release sex pheromone. In general, our results are consistent with those for pheromones of invertebrates, which are most effective when pest density is low and when pheromone competition is low.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Springer","doi":"10.1007/s10886-015-0626-2","usgsCitation":"Johnson, N., Siefkes, M.J., Wagner, C.M., Bravener, G., Steeves, T., Twohey, M., and Li, W., 2015, Factors influencing capture of invasive sea lamprey in traps baited with a synthesized sex pheromone component: Journal of Chemical Ecology, v. 41, no. 10, p. 913-923, https://doi.org/10.1007/s10886-015-0626-2.","productDescription":"11 p.","startPage":"913","endPage":"923","onlineOnly":"N","additionalOnlineFiles":"N","ipdsId":"IP-066934","costCenters":[{"id":324,"text":"Great Lakes Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":313140,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"41","issue":"10","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":6,"text":"Columbus PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2015-09-23","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"568651b6e4b0e7594ee74c9e","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Johnson, Nicholas S. 0000-0002-7419-6013 njohnson@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7419-6013","contributorId":150983,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Johnson","given":"Nicholas S.","email":"njohnson@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":324,"text":"Great Lakes Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":583920,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Siefkes, Michael J.","contributorId":36905,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Siefkes","given":"Michael","email":"","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":583921,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Wagner, C.

We found that the period of 1995-2002 should be considered as the early phase of the final regime shift. We developed two Bayesian hierarchical models to describe time-varying growth based on the von Bertalanffy growth function and the length-mass relationship. We used asymptotic length as an index of growth potential, and predicted body mass at a given length as an index of body condition. Modeling fits to length and body mass at age of lake trout, Chinook salmon, and walleye were excellent. Based on posterior distributions, we evaluated the shifts in among-year geometric means of the growth potential and body condition. For a given top piscivore, one of the two indices responded to the regime shift much earlier than the 2003 collapse of alewives, the other corresponded to the 2003 changes, and which index provided the early signal differed among the three top piscivores.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"NRC Research Press","doi":"10.1139/cjfas-2015-0235","usgsCitation":"He, J.X., Bence, J.,

Habitat edges are often viewed as predator corridors that surround or penetrate core habitat and increase the risk of predation for nearby nests. We studied the effects of three different types of potential predator corridors (main perimeter roads, field boundaries, and ATV trails within fields) on waterfowl nest survival in California. We measured the distance from duck nests to the nearest edge of each type, and used distance as a covariate in a logistic exposure analysis of nest survival. We found only weak evidence for edge effects due to predation. The best supported model of nest survival included all three distance categories, and while all coefficient estimates were positive (indicating that survival increased with distance from edge), 85% coefficient confidence intervals approached or bounded zero indicating an overall weak effect of habitat edges on nest success. We suggest that given the configuration of edges at our site, there may be few areas far enough from hard edges to be considered &lsquo;core&rsquo; habitat, making edge effects on nest survival particularly difficult to detect.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Netherlands Ornithologists' Union","publisherLocation":"Amsterdam","doi":"10.5253/arde.v103i2.a4","collaboration":"USFWS; CADFW; UCD","usgsCitation":"Raquel, A.J., Ringelman, K.M., Ackerman, J., and Eadie, J.M., 2015, Habitat edges have weak effects on duck nest survival at local spatial scales: Ardea, v. 103, no. 2, p. 155-162, https://doi.org/10.5253/arde.v103i2.a4.","productDescription":"8 p.","startPage":"155","endPage":"162","numberOfPages":"8","onlineOnly":"N","additionalOnlineFiles":"N","ipdsId":"IP-054133","costCenters":[{"id":651,"text":"Western Ecological Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":313913,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"103","issue":"2","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":1,"text":"Sacramento PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"568e490de4b0e7a44bc419c2","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Raquel, Amelia J","contributorId":151064,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Raquel","given":"Amelia","email":"","middleInitial":"J","affiliations":[{"id":7214,"text":"University of California, Davis","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":584212,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Ringelman, Kevin M.","contributorId":95806,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Ringelman","given":"Kevin","email":"","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":584213,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Ackerman, Joshua T. 0000-0002-3074-8322 jackerman@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3074-8322","contributorId":147078,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Ackerman","given":"Joshua T.","email":"jackerman@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":651,"text":"Western Ecological Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":584211,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Eadie, John M.","contributorId":65219,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Eadie","given":"John","email":"","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[{"id":7082,"text":"University of California - Davis","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":584214,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4}]}}
