Due to high degradation rates of genetic material in scat, large numbers of samples must be collected to generate robust estimates. Optimization of sampling approaches to account for taxa-specific patterns of scat deposition is, therefore, necessary to ensure sufficient sample collection. While scat collection methods have been widely studied in carnivores, research to maximize scat collection and noninvasive sampling efficiency for social ungulates is lacking. Further, environmental factors or scat morphology may influence detection of scat by observers. We contrasted performance of novel radial search protocols with existing adaptive cluster sampling protocols to quantify differences in observed amounts of wild pig (</span><i>Sus scrofa</i><span>) scat. We also evaluated the effects of environmental (percentage of vegetative ground cover and occurrence of rain immediately prior to sampling) and scat characteristics (fecal pellet size and number) on the detectability of scat by observers. We found that 15- and 20-m radial search protocols resulted in greater numbers of scats encountered than the previously used adaptive cluster sampling approach across habitat types, and that fecal pellet size, number of fecal pellets, percent vegetative ground cover, and recent rain events were significant predictors of scat detection. Our results suggest that use of a fixed-width radial search protocol may increase the number of scats detected for wild pigs, or other social ungulates, allowing more robust estimation of population metrics using noninvasive genetic sampling methods. Further, as fecal pellet size affected scat detection, juvenile or smaller-sized animals may be less detectable than adult or large animals, which could introduce bias into abundance estimates. Knowledge of relationships between environmental variables and scat detection may allow researchers to optimize sampling protocols to maximize utility of noninvasive sampling for wild pigs and other social ungulates.</span></p></div>","language":"English","publisher":"PloS One","doi":"10.1371/journal.pone.0155615","usgsCitation":"Keiter, D.A., Cunningham, F.L., Rhodes, O.E., Irwin, B.J., and Beasley, J., 2016, Optimization of scat detection methods for a social ungulate, the wild pig, and experimental evaluation of factors affecting detection of scat: PLoS ONE, v. 25, no. 11, e0155615; 14 p., https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0155615.","productDescription":"e0155615; 14 p.","onlineOnly":"N","ipdsId":"IP-069727","costCenters":[{"id":198,"text":"Coop Res Unit Atlanta","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":470610,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0155615","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":330625,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"25","issue":"11","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":8,"text":"Raleigh PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2016-05-25","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5819a9c3e4b0bb36a4c91017","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Keiter, David A.","contributorId":176521,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Keiter","given":"David","email":"","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":652652,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Cunningham, Fred L.","contributorId":176522,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Cunningham","given":"Fred","email":"","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[{"id":36282,"text":"USDA National Wildlife Research Center (NWRC) Mississippi Field Station, Starkville, MS","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":652650,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Rhodes, Olin E.

These refuges, established specifically for lake trout (</span><i>Salvelinus namaycush</i><span>) and closed to most forms of recreational and commercial fishing, were implicated as one of several management actions leading to successful rehabilitation of Lake Superior lake trout. To investigate the potential significance of Gull Island Shoal and Devils Island Shoal refuges for populations of not only lake trout but also other fish species, relative abundances of lake trout, lake whitefish </span><i>(Coregonus clupeaformis)</i><span>, and cisco </span><i>(Coregonus artedi)</i><span> were compared between areas sampled inside versus outside of refuge boundaries. During 1982–2010, lake trout relative abundance was higher and increased faster inside the refuges, where lake trout fishing was prohibited, than outside the refuges. Over the same period, lake whitefish relative abundance increased faster inside than outside the refuges. Both evaluations provided clear evidence that refuges protected these species. In contrast, trends in relative abundance of cisco, a prey item of lake trout, did not differ significantly between areas inside and outside the refuges. This result did not suggest indirect or cascading refuge effects due to changes in predator levels. Overall, this study highlights the potential of species-specific refuges to benefit other fish species beyond those that were the refuges' original target. Improved understanding of refuge effects on multiple species of Great Lakes fishes can be valuable for developing rationales for refuge establishment and predicting associated fish community-level effects.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Elsevier","doi":"10.1016/j.jglr.2016.07.011","usgsCitation":"Zuccarino-Crowe, C.M., Taylor, W., Hansen, M.J., Seider, M.J., and Krueger, C., 2016, Effects of lake trout refuges on lake whitefish and cisco in the Apostle Islands Region of Lake Superior: Journal of Great Lakes Research, v. 42, no. 5, p. 1092-1101, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jglr.2016.07.011.","productDescription":"10 p.","startPage":"1092","endPage":"1101","ipdsId":"IP-077304","costCenters":[{"id":324,"text":"Great Lakes Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":470535,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jglr.2016.07.011","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":331412,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","otherGeospatial":"Apostle Islands, Lake Superior","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -91.05194091796875,\n              46.67299877463589\n            ],\n            [\n              -91.05194091796875,\n              47.26338813315702\n            ],\n            [\n              -90.21697998046875,\n              47.26338813315702\n            ],\n            [\n              -90.21697998046875,\n              46.67299877463589\n            ],\n            [\n              -91.05194091796875,\n              46.67299877463589\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"42","issue":"5","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"584144dfe4b04fc80e50739e","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Zuccarino-Crowe, Chiara M.","contributorId":177118,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Zuccarino-Crowe","given":"Chiara","email":"","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":654690,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Taylor, William W.","contributorId":113795,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Taylor","given":"William W.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":654691,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"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":654692,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Seider, Michael J.","contributorId":19452,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Seider","given":"Michael","email":"","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":654693,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Krueger, Charles C.","contributorId":73131,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Krueger","given":"Charles C.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":654694,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5}]}}

In the Mojave Desert, United States, these disturbances have promoted the establishment of nonnative plants, so that native grasses and forbs are now intermixed with, or have been replaced by invasive, nonnative Mediterranean grasses. This shift in plant composition has altered food availability for Mojave Desert tortoises (</span><i>Gopherus agassizii</i><span>), a federally listed species. We hypothesized that this change in forage would negatively influence the physiological ecology, immune competence, and health of neonatal and yearling tortoises. To test this, we monitored the effects of diet on growth, body condition, immunological responses (measured by gene transcription), and survival for 100 captive Mojave tortoises. Tortoises were assigned to one of five diets: native forbs, native grass, invasive grass, and native forbs combined with either the native or invasive grass. Tortoises eating native forbs had better body condition and immune functions, grew more, and had higher survival rates (&gt;95%) than tortoises consuming any other diet. At the end of the experiment, 32% of individuals fed only native grass and 37% fed only invasive grass were found dead or removed from the experiment due to poor body conditions. In contrast, all tortoises fed either the native forb or combined native forb and native grass diets survived and were in good condition. Health and body condition quickly declined for tortoises fed only the native grass (</span><i>Festuca octoflora</i><span>) or invasive grass (</span><i>Bromus rubens</i><span>) with notable loss of fat and muscle mass and increased muscular atrophy. </span><i>Bromus rubens</i><span> seeds were found embedded in the oral mucosa and tongue in most individuals eating that diet, which led to mucosal inflammation. Genes indicative of physiological, immune, and metabolic functions were transcribed at lower levels for individuals fed </span><i>B.&nbsp;rubens</i><span>, indicating potential greater susceptibility to disease or other health-related problems. This study highlights the negative indirect effects of invasive grasses, such as red brome, in desert ecosystems, and provides definitive evidence of a larger negative consequence to health, survival, and ultimately population recruitment for Mojave Desert tortoises than previously understood.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Ecological Society of America","doi":"10.1002/ecs2.1531","usgsCitation":"Drake, K.K., Bowen, L., Nussear, K.E., Esque, T., Berger, A.J., Custer, N., Waters-Dynes, S.C., Johnson, J.D., Miles, A.K., and Lewison, R., 2016, Negative impacts of invasive plants on conservation of sensitive desert wildlife: Ecosphere, v. 7, no. 10, e01531; 20 p., https://doi.org/10.1002/ecs2.1531.","productDescription":"e01531; 20 p.","ipdsId":"IP-072979","costCenters":[{"id":651,"text":"Western Ecological Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":470545,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/ecs2.1531","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":331059,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"7","issue":"10","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":1,"text":"Sacramento PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2016-10-27","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"582dd8eae4b04d580bd3fa93","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Drake, K.

Unfortunately, information about population demographics prior to threats (i.e., baseline data) is lacking for many species. Perturbations, caused by climate change, disease, or other stressors can lead to population declines and heightened conservation concerns. Boreal toads (</span><i>Anaxyrus boreas boreas</i><span>) have undergone rangewide declines due mostly to the amphibian chytrid fungus </span><i>Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis</i><span> (Bd), with only a few sizable populations remaining in the southern Rocky Mountains, USA, that are disease-free. Despite the apparent region-wide occurrence of Bd, our focal populations in central Colorado were disease free over a 14-year capture-mark-recapture study until the recent discovery of Bd at one of the sites. We used recapture data and the Pradel reverse-time model to assess the influence of environmental and site-specific conditions on survival and recruitment. We then forecast changes in the toad populations with 2 growth models; one using an average lambda value to initiate the projection, and one using the most recent value to capture potential effects of the incursion of disease into the system. Adult survival was consistently high at the 3 sites, whereas recruitment was more variable and markedly low at 1 site. We found that active season moisture, active season length, and breeding shallows were important factors in estimating recruitment. Population growth models indicated a slight increase at 1 site but decreasing trends at the 2 other sites, possibly influenced by low recruitment. Insight into declining species management can be gained from information on survival and recruitment and how site-specific environmental factors influence these demographic parameters. Our data are particularly useful because they provide baseline data on demographics in populations before a disease outbreak and enhance our ability to detect changes in population parameters potentially caused by the disease.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"The Wildlife Society","doi":"10.1002/jwmg.21118","usgsCitation":"Lambert, B.A., Schorr, R.A., Schneider, S.C., and Muths, E.L., 2016, Influence of demography and environment on persistence in toad populations: Journal of Wildlife Management, v. 80, no. 7, p. 1256-1266, https://doi.org/10.1002/jwmg.21118.","productDescription":"11 p.","startPage":"1256","endPage":"1266","ipdsId":"IP-068989","costCenters":[{"id":291,"text":"Fort Collins Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":329017,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"80","issue":"7","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":2,"text":"Denver PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2016-07-12","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"57f7c63ce4b0bc0bec09c84e","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Lambert, Brad A.","contributorId":173020,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Lambert","given":"Brad","email":"","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":649431,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Schorr, Robert A.","contributorId":105239,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Schorr","given":"Robert","email":"","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":649432,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Schneider, Scott C.","contributorId":174943,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Schneider","given":"Scott","email":"","middleInitial":"C.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":649727,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Muths, Erin L. 0000-0002-5498-3132 muthse@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5498-3132","contributorId":1260,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Muths","given":"Erin","email":"muthse@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[{"id":291,"text":"Fort Collins Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":649430,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4}]}}

But predicting the impacts of invasive species is daunting, particularly in large systems threatened by multiple invasive species, such as North America’s Laurentian Great Lakes. We developed and evaluated a scenario-building process that relied on an expert panel to assess possible future impacts of aquatic invasive species on recreational fishing in the Great Lakes. To maximize its usefulness to policy makers, this process was designed to be implemented relatively rapidly and consider a range of species. The expert panel developed plausible, internally-consistent invasion scenarios for 5 aquatic invasive species, along with subjective probabilities of those scenarios. We describe these scenarios and evaluate this approach for assessing future invasive species impacts. The panel held diverse opinions about the likelihood of the scenarios, and only one scenario with impacts on sportfish species was considered likely by most of the experts. These outcomes are consistent with the literature on scenario building, which advocates for developing a range of plausible scenarios in decision making because the uncertainty of future conditions makes the likelihood of any particular scenario low. We believe that this scenario-building approach could contribute to policy decisions about whether and how to address the possible impacts of invasive species. In this case, scenarios could allow policy makers to narrow the range of possible impacts on Great Lakes fisheries they consider and help set a research agenda for further refining invasive species predictions.","language":"English","publisher":"Taylor & Francis","publisherLocation":"Abingdon, UK","doi":"10.1080/02755947.2016.1214647","collaboration":"Cornell University","usgsCitation":"Lauber,

However, these long-term objectives are rarely evaluated due to the inadequacy of post-release monitoring. Here, we report the results of a unique long term telemetry-based monitoring programme for rehabilitated Antillean manatees (Trichechus manatus manatus) reintroduced into selected sites in northeast Brazil with the aim of reconnecting isolated relict populations. Twenty-one satellite-tagged rehabilitated manatees, 13 males and 8 females, were released into the wild from two sites between November 2008 and June 2013. Individual accumulation curves were plotted and home ranges were calculated through the fixed kernel method using 95% of the utilization distribution. The number and size of the Centres of Activity (COAs) were calculated using 50% of the utilization distribution. Manatees displayed a dichotomous pattern of movement, with individuals either characterized by sedentary habits or by much more extensive movements. Moreover, home range size was not significantly influenced by gender, age at release or release site. COAs were strongly associated with sheltered conditions within reefs and estuaries, and also by the presence of freshwater and feeding sites. Our data confirm that manatee reintroductions in Brazil have the potential to reconnect distant sub-populations. However, pre-release identification of potential long-distance migrants is currently unfeasible, and further analysis would be required to confirm genetic mixing of distant sub-populations.","language":"English","publisher":"Wiley","doi":"10.1111/acv.12236","collaboration":"Chico Mendes Institute for Biodiversity Conservation, Brazil; Federal University of Alagoas, Brazil;  Oxford University, UK","usgsCitation":"Normande, I.C., Malhado, A.C., Reid, J.P., Viana, P., Savaget, P.V., Correia, R.A., Luna, F.O., and Ladle, R.J., 2016, Post-release monitoring of Antillean manatees: an assessment of the Brazilian rehabilitation and release programme: Animal Conservation, v. 19, no. 3, p. 235-246, https://doi.org/10.1111/acv.12236.","productDescription":"11 p.

Institutional and cultural changes of the magnitude envisioned are necessarily slow, messy processes, involving many actors who at a minimum must agree on the need for change. Waterfowl conservation now finds itself in the transition zone between business as usual and some new mode of operation. There are at least 2 different perspectives of this transition: one focuses on process, accountability, and planning for change; another focuses on solutions generated from an organic process of creativity, information sharing, and risk-taking. Both of these views have something to contribute, but some in the wildlife management enterprise may tend to focus more on the first view. We suggest that ideas from panarchy theory, especially those related to the behaviors of complex adaptive systems, can help waterfowl managers better understand and foster the institutional changes they seek.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Wiley","doi":"10.1002/wsb.682","usgsCitation":"Johnson, F.A., Case, D.J., and Humburg, D.H., 2016, Learning and adaptation in waterfowl conservation: By chance or by design?: Wildlife Society Bulletin, v. 40, no. 3, p. 423-427, https://doi.org/10.1002/wsb.682.","productDescription":"5 p.","startPage":"423","endPage":"427","ipdsId":"IP-075263","costCenters":[{"id":17705,"text":"Wetland and Aquatic Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":498971,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/wsb.682","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":328755,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"40","issue":"3","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":9,"text":"Reston PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2016-08-29","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"57ed5309e4b090825011d501","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Johnson, Fred A. 0000-0002-5854-3695 fjohnson@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5854-3695","contributorId":2773,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Johnson","given":"Fred","email":"fjohnson@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[{"id":455,"text":"National Wetlands Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":566,"text":"Southeast Ecological Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":17705,"text":"Wetland and Aquatic Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":649038,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Case, David J.","contributorId":140653,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Case","given":"David","email":"","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[{"id":13543,"text":"DJ Case & Associates","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":649039,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Humburg, Dale H.","contributorId":174698,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Humburg","given":"Dale","email":"","middleInitial":"H.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":649040,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3}]}}

We compared data collected during 1961–1966 to current (2013–2014) wetland conditions. We revisited 80 wetlands in 2013 and 2014 across three study areas and measured wetland area, ponded-water depth, and specific conductance. Wetlands at the three study areas responded to prolonged wet conditions in one of three ways. Wetlands at Crystal Springs became larger, and had deeper ponds of lower specific conductance in 2013–14 compared to the 1960s. Wetlands at Cottonwood were larger with deeper ponds of slightly higher specific conductance in 2013–2014. Wetlands at Mt. Moriah had only subtle changes in size, pond depth, and specific conductance between periods. Prolonged wet conditions led to merging of most wetlands (defined as the outer edge of wet-meadow vegetation) at Crystal Springs and a few wetlands at Cottonwood. Low topographic relief at Crystal Springs and Cottonwood contributed to storage of excess water in wetlands with associated responses to prolonged wet conditions. In contrast, higher topographic relief and natural outlets into two intermittent streams at Mt. Moriah resulted in wetlands being less impacted by prolonged wet conditions.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Springer","doi":"10.1007/s13157-016-0818-8","usgsCitation":"Cressey, R.L., Austin, J.E., and Stafford, J.D., 2016, Three responses of wetland conditions to climatic extremes in the Prairie Pothole Region: Wetlands, v. 36, no. s2, p. 357-370, https://doi.org/10.1007/s13157-016-0818-8.","productDescription":"14 p.","startPage":"357","endPage":"370","ipdsId":"IP-076277","costCenters":[{"id":480,"text":"Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":328731,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"North Dakota","county":"Stutsman County","geographicExtents":"{\"type\":\"FeatureCollection\",\"features\":[{\"type\":\"Feature\",\"geometry\":{\"type\":\"Polygon\",\"coordinates\":[[[-99.2669,47.3268],[-98.8466,47.327],[-98.8392,47.327],[-98.8232,47.3272],[-98.8152,47.3271],[-98.4991,47.327],[-98.467,47.3266],[-98.4677,47.2402],[-98.4685,46.9788],[-98.4412,46.9789],[-98.4396,46.6296],[-98.7894,46.6294],[-99.0379,46.6309],[-99.1616,46.6317],[-99.4122,46.6316],[-99.4498,46.6319],[-99.4477,46.8044],[-99.4476,46.9788],[-99.4821,46.9795],[-99.4824,47.0089],[-99.4822,47.0162],[-99.4821,47.0249],[-99.4826,47.0396],[-99.4827,47.1558],[-99.4801,47.3267],[-99.2669,47.3268]]]},\"properties\":{\"name\":\"Stutsman\",\"state\":\"ND\"}}]}","volume":"36","issue":"s2","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":4,"text":"Rolla PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2016-09-10","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"57f7c63de4b0bc0bec09c890","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Cressey, Ryann L.","contributorId":174689,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Cressey","given":"Ryann","email":"","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[{"id":27498,"text":"SDCFWRU, USGS, Ducks Unlimited, Bismark","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":648986,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Austin, Jane E. 0000-0001-8775-2210 jaustin@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8775-2210","contributorId":146411,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Austin","given":"Jane","email":"jaustin@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"E.","affiliations":[{"id":480,"text":"Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":648985,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Stafford, Joshua D. jstafford@usgs.gov","contributorId":4267,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Stafford","given":"Joshua","email":"jstafford@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"D.","affiliations":[{"id":199,"text":"Coop Res Unit Leetown","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":648987,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3}]}}

Environmental DNA (eDNA) sampling has recently emerged as a powerful tool for detecting rare aquatic animals; however, detectable fragments of DNA can persist over time despite absence of the targeted taxa and can therefore complicate eDNA sampling after an eradication event. This complication is a large concern for fish eradication efforts in lakes since killed fish can sink to the bottom and slowly decay. DNA released from these carcasses may remain detectable for long periods. Here, we evaluated the efficacy of eDNA sampling to detect invasive Northern pike (</span><i>Esox lucius</i><span>) following piscicide eradication efforts in southcentral Alaskan lakes. We used field observations and experiments to test the sensitivity of our Northern pike eDNA assay and to evaluate the persistence of detectable DNA emitted from Northern pike carcasses. We then used eDNA sampling and traditional sampling (i.e., gillnets) to test for presence of Northern pike in four lakes subjected to a piscicide-treatment designed to eradicate this species. We found that our assay could detect an abundant, free-roaming population of Northern pike and could also detect low-densities of Northern pike held in cages. For these caged Northern pike, probability of detection decreased with distance from the cage. We then stocked three lakes with Northern pike carcasses and collected eDNA samples 7, 35 and 70 days post-stocking. We detected DNA at 7 and 35 days, but not at 70 days. Finally, we collected eDNA samples ~ 230 days after four lakes were subjected to piscicide-treatments and detected Northern pike DNA in 3 of 179 samples, with a single detection at each of three lakes, though we did not catch any Northern pike in gillnets. Taken together, we found that eDNA can help to inform eradication efforts if used in conjunction with multiple lines of inquiry and sampling is delayed long enough to allow full degradation of DNA in the water.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"PLOS","doi":"10.1371/journal.pone.0162277","usgsCitation":"Dunker, K.J., Sepulveda, A.J., Massengill, R.L., Olsen, J.B., Russ, O.L., Wenburg, J.K., and Antonovich, A., 2016, Potential of environmental DNA to evaluate Northern pike (<i>Esox lucius</i>) eradication efforts: An experimental test and case study: PLoS ONE, v. 11, no. 9, e0162277; 21 p., https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0162277.","productDescription":"e0162277; 21 p.","ipdsId":"IP-074321","costCenters":[{"id":481,"text":"Northern Rocky Mountain Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":470569,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0162277","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":328659,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"11","issue":"9","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":2,"text":"Denver PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2016-09-14","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"57da66a5e4b090824ffb164a","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Dunker, Kristine J.","contributorId":38864,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Dunker","given":"Kristine","email":"","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[{"id":6770,"text":"Alaska Department of Fish & Game, Division of Commercial Fish, Soldotna, AK 99669","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":648828,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Sepulveda, Adam J. 0000-0001-7621-7028 asepulveda@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7621-7028","contributorId":150628,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Sepulveda","given":"Adam","email":"asepulveda@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[{"id":481,"text":"Northern Rocky Mountain Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":648827,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Massengill, Robert L.","contributorId":174630,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Massengill","given":"Robert","email":"","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[{"id":7058,"text":"Alaska Department of Fish and Game","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":648829,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Olsen, Jeffrey B.","contributorId":174632,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Olsen","given":"Jeffrey","email":"","middleInitial":"B.","affiliations":[{"id":5128,"text":"U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, University of Montana, Missoula, MT 59812","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":648831,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Russ, Ora L.","contributorId":174633,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Russ","given":"Ora","email":"","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[{"id":5128,"text":"U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, University of Montana, Missoula, MT 59812","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":648832,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Wenburg, John K.","contributorId":174634,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Wenburg","given":"John","email":"","middleInitial":"K.","affiliations":[{"id":5128,"text":"U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, University of Montana, Missoula, MT 59812","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":648833,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6},{"text":"Antonovich, Anton","contributorId":174631,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Antonovich","given":"Anton","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":7058,"text":"Alaska Department of Fish and Game","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":648830,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":7}]}}

The study uses a comprehensive approach by combining tidal water sampling of CO</span><sub>2</sub><span>parameters across seasons, continuous in situ measurements of biogeochemically-relevant parameters and water fluxes, with high-resolution modeling in an intertidal salt marsh of the U.S. northeast region. Salt marshes can acidify and alkalize tidal water by injecting CO</span><sub>2</sub><span> (DIC) and total alkalinity (TA). DIC and TA generation may also be decoupled due to differential effects of marsh aerobic and anaerobic respiration on DIC and TA. As marsh DIC is added to tidal water, the buffering capacity first decreases to a minimum and then increases quickly. Large additions of marsh DIC can result in higher buffering capacity in ebbing tide than incoming tide. Alkalization of tidal water, which mostly occurs in the summer due to anaerobic respiration, can further modify buffering capacity. Marsh exports of DIC and alkalinity may have complex implications for the future, more acidified ocean. Marsh DIC export exhibits high variability over tidal and seasonal cycles, which is modulated by both marsh DIC generation and by water fluxes. The marsh DIC export of 414 g C m</span><sup>−2</sup><span> yr</span><sup>−1</sup><span>, based on high-resolution measurements and modeling, is more than twice the previous estimates. It is a major term in the marsh carbon budget and translates to one of the largest carbon fluxes along the U.S. East Coast.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"ASLO","doi":"10.1002/lno.10347","usgsCitation":"Wang, Z., Kroeger, K.D., Ganju, N., Gonneea Eagle, M., and Chu, S.N., 2016, Intertidal salt marshes as an important source of inorganic carbon to the coastal ocean: Limnology and Oceanography, v. 61, no. 5, p. 1916-1931, https://doi.org/10.1002/lno.10347.","productDescription":"16 p.","startPage":"1916","endPage":"1931","ipdsId":"IP-073972","costCenters":[{"id":678,"text":"Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":470570,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/lno.10347","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":328589,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Massachusetts","otherGeospatial":"Sage Lot Pond, Waquoit Bay","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -70.5188798904419,\n              41.54953955986466\n            ],\n            [\n              -70.5188798904419,\n              41.55718297621677\n            ],\n            [\n              -70.50287246704102,\n              41.55718297621677\n            ],\n            [\n              -70.50287246704102,\n              41.54953955986466\n            ],\n            [\n              -70.5188798904419,\n              41.54953955986466\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"61","issue":"5","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":11,"text":"Pembroke PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2016-07-18","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"57d91527e4b090824ff9fa38","chorus":{"doi":"10.1002/lno.10347","url":"http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/lno.10347","publisher":"Wiley-Blackwell","authors":"Wang Zhaohui Aleck, Kroeger Kevin D., Ganju Neil K., Gonneea Meagan Eagle, Chu Sophie N.","journalName":"Limnology and Oceanography","publicationDate":"7/18/2016"},"contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Wang, Zhaohui Aleck","contributorId":174589,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Wang","given":"Zhaohui Aleck","affiliations":[{"id":13627,"text":"Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Woods Hole, MA","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":648666,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Kroeger, Kevin D. 0000-0002-4272-2349 kkroeger@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4272-2349","contributorId":1603,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Kroeger","given":"Kevin","email":"kkroeger@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"D.","affiliations":[{"id":41100,"text":"Coastal and Marine Hazards and Resources Program","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":648665,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Ganju, Neil K. 0000-0002-1096-0465 nganju@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1096-0465","contributorId":140088,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Ganju","given":"Neil K.","email":"nganju@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":678,"text":"Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":648667,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Gonneea Eagle, Meagan 0000-0001-5072-2755 mgonneea@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5072-2755","contributorId":174590,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Gonneea Eagle","given":"Meagan","email":"mgonneea@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":678,"text":"Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":648668,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Chu, Sophie N.","contributorId":174603,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Chu","given":"Sophie","email":"","middleInitial":"N.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":648669,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5}]}}

Combined with speciation calculations and the approach used by McCleskey et al.

Fishes have been observed to consume beyond what is sustainable (i.e. digested on a daily basis), but this phenomenon of hyperphagia (or binge-feeding) is largely overlooked. We expect hyperphagia to be a short-term (1-day) event that is facilitated by gut volume providing capacity to store consumed food during periods of high prey availability to be later digested.</li><li>We define how temperature, body size and food availability influence the degree of binge-feeding by comparing field observations with laboratory experiments of bull trout (<i>Salvelinus confluentus</i>), a large freshwater piscivore that experiences highly variable prey pulses. We also simulated bull trout consumption and growth during salmon smolt outmigrations under two scenarios: 1) daily consumption being dependent upon bioenergetically sustainable rates and 2) daily consumption being dependent upon available gut volume (i.e. consumption is equal to gut volume when empty and otherwise ‘topping off’ based on sustainable digestion rates).</li><li>One-day consumption by laboratory-held bull trout during the first day of feeding experiments after fasting exceeded bioenergetically sustainable rates by 12- to 87-fold at low temperatures (3&nbsp;°C) and by &nbsp;˜1·3-fold at 20&nbsp;°C. The degree of binge-feeding by bull trout in the field was slightly reduced but largely in agreement with laboratory estimates, especially when prey availability was extremely high [during a sockeye salmon (<i>Oncorhynchus nerka</i>) smolt outmigration and at a counting fence where smolts are funnelled into high densities]. Consumption by bull trout at other settings were lower and more variable, but still regularly hyperphagic.</li><li>Simulations demonstrated the ability to binge-feed increased cumulative consumption (16–32%) and cumulative growth (19–110%) relative to only feeding at bioenergetically sustainable rates during the &nbsp;˜1-month smolt outmigration period.</li><li>Our results indicate the ability for predators to maximize short-term consumption when prey are available can be extreme and is limited primarily by gut volume, then mediated by temperature; thus, predator–prey relationships may be more dependent upon prey availability than traditional bioenergetic models suggest. Binge-feeding has important implications for energy budgets of consumers as well as acute predation impacts on prey.</li></ol>","language":"English","publisher":"British Ecological Society","publisherLocation":"Cambridge","doi":"10.1111/1365-2656.12565","usgsCitation":"Furey, N.B., Hinch, S.G., Mesa, M.G., and Beauchamp, D.A., 2016, Piscivorous fish exhibit temperature-influenced binge feeding during an annual prey pulse: Journal of Animal Ecology, v. 85, no. 5, p. 1307-1317, https://doi.org/10.1111/1365-2656.12565.","startPage":"1307","endPage":"1317","numberOfPages":"11","ipdsId":"IP-075852","costCenters":[{"id":200,"text":"Coop Res Unit Seattle","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":470581,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1111/1365-2656.12565","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":328376,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"85","issue":"5","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":12,"text":"Tacoma PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2016-07-26","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"57d27d9fe4b0571647d0d8fe","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Furey, Nathan B.","contributorId":174497,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Furey","given":"Nathan","email":"","middleInitial":"B.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":648393,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Hinch, Scott G.","contributorId":174498,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Hinch","given":"Scott","email":"","middleInitial":"G.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":648394,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Mesa, Matthew G. mmesa@usgs.gov","contributorId":3423,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Mesa","given":"Matthew","email":"mmesa@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"G.","affiliations":[{"id":654,"text":"Western Fisheries Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":648395,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Beauchamp, David A. 0000-0002-3592-8381 fadave@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3592-8381","contributorId":4205,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Beauchamp","given":"David","email":"fadave@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[{"id":654,"text":"Western Fisheries Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":648392,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4}]}}

Incorporation of conservation planning into development planning may mitigate these impacts. The threatened Lesser Prairie-Chicken (</span><i>Tympanuchus pallidicinctus</i><span>) is experiencing loss of native habitat and high levels of energy development across its multijurisdictional range. Our goal was to explore relationships of the species occurrence with landscape characteristics and anthropogenic effects influencing its distribution through evaluation of habitat suitability associated with one particular habitat usage, lekking. Lekking has been relatively well-surveyed, though not consistently, in all jurisdictions. All five states in which Lesser Prairie-Chickens occur cooperated in development of a Maxent habitat suitability model. We created two models, one with state as a factor and one without state. When state was included it was the most important predictor, followed by percent of land cover consisting of known or suspected used vegetation classes within a 5000 m area around a lek. Without state, land cover was the most important predictor of relative habitat suitability for leks. Among the anthropogenic predictors, landscape condition, a measure of human impact integrated across several factors, was most important, ranking third in importance without state. These results quantify the relative suitability of the landscape within the current occupied range of Lesser Prairie-Chickens. These models, combined with other landscape information, form the basis of a habitat assessment tool that can be used to guide siting of development projects and targeting of areas for conservation.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Avian Conservation and Ecology","doi":"10.5751/ACE-00807-110102","usgsCitation":"Jarnevich, C.S., Holcombe, T.R., Grisham, B.A., Timmer,

In many fire-prone ecosystems species cue their germination to immediate postfire conditions. Here we address how species have evolved one very specific mechanism, which is using the signal of combustion products from biomass. This is often termed ‘smoke’ stimulated germination although it was first discovered in studies of charred wood effects on germination of species strictly tied to postfire conditions (pyroendemics). Smoke stimulated germination has been reported from a huge diversity of plant species. The fact that the organic compound karrikin (a product of the degradation of cellulose) is a powerful germination cue in many species has led to the assumption that this compound is the only chemical responsible for smoke-stimulated germination. Here we show that smoke-stimulated germination is a complex trait with different compounds involved. We propose that convergent evolution is a more parsimonious model for smoke stimulated germination, suggesting that this trait evolved multiple times in response to a variety of organic and inorganic chemical triggers in smoke. The convergent model is congruent with the evolution of many other fire-related traits.","language":"English","publisher":"Elsevier","publisherLocation":"Amsterdam, Netherlands","doi":"10.1016/j.sajb.2016.07.012","usgsCitation":"Keeley, J.E., and Pausas, J., 2016, Evolution of 'smoke' induced seed germination in pyroendemic plants: South African Journal of Botany, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.sajb.2016.07.012.","numberOfPages":"5","ipdsId":"IP-074140","costCenters":[{"id":651,"text":"Western Ecological Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":470587,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.sajb.2016.07.012","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":329003,"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":"57f7c656e4b0bc0bec09c909","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Keeley, J.

Animals choose an area of primary utilization (i.e., home range) then make decisions focused on resource needs within patches. Dominance may affect the spatial distribution of conspecifics and concomitant habitat selection. Size-dependent social dominance hierarchies have been documented in captive alligators, but evidence is lacking from wild populations. We studied habitat selection for adult male American alligators (</span><i>Alligator mississippiensis</i><span>; </span><i>n</i><span> = 17) on the Pearl River in central Mississippi, USA, to test whether habitat selection was scale-dependent and individual resource selectivity was a function of conspecific body size. We used K-select analysis to quantify selection at the home range scale and patches within the home range to determine selection congruency and important habitat variables. In addition, we used linear models to determine if body size was related to selection patterns and strengths. Our results indicated habitat selection of adult male alligators was a scale-dependent process. Alligators demonstrated greater overall selection for habitat variables at the patch level and less at the home range level, suggesting resources may not be limited when selecting a home range for animals in our study area. Further, diurnal habitat selection patterns may depend on thermoregulatory needs. There was no relationship between resource selection or home range size and body size, suggesting size-dependent dominance hierarchies may not have influenced alligator resource selection or space use in our sample. Though apparent habitat suitability and low alligator density did not manifest in an observed dominance hierarchy, we hypothesize that a change in either could increase intraspecific interactions, facilitating a dominance hierarchy. Due to the broad and diverse ecological roles of alligators, understanding the factors that influence their social dominance and space use can provide great insight into their functional role in the ecosystem.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"PLOS One","doi":"10.1371/journal.pone.0161814","usgsCitation":"Strickland, B.A., Vilella, F., and Belant, J.L., 2016, Scale-dependent habitat selection and size-based dominance in adult male American alligators: PLoS ONE, p. 1-16, https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0161814.","productDescription":"e0161814; 16 p.","startPage":"1","endPage":"16","ipdsId":"IP-070818","costCenters":[{"id":198,"text":"Coop Res Unit Atlanta","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":470592,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0161814","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":331825,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Mississippi","otherGeospatial":"Pearl River, Ross Barnett Reservoir","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -89.96566772460936,\n              32.48601763026006\n            ],\n            [\n              -89.96566772460936,\n              32.601783214045184\n            ],\n            [\n              -89.77203369140625,\n              32.601783214045184\n            ],\n            [\n              -89.77203369140625,\n              32.48601763026006\n            ],\n            [\n              -89.96566772460936,\n              32.48601763026006\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":8,"text":"Raleigh PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2016-09-02","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"584bd0dde4b077fc20250e08","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Strickland, Bradley A.","contributorId":177343,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Strickland","given":"Bradley","email":"","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":655399,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Vilella, Francisco 0000-0003-1552-9989 fvilella@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1552-9989","contributorId":171363,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Vilella","given":"Francisco","email":"fvilella@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":198,"text":"Coop Res Unit Atlanta","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":655386,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Belant, Jerrold L.","contributorId":108394,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Belant","given":"Jerrold","email":"","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[{"id":35599,"text":"Carnivore Ecology Laboratory, Mississippi State University, Mississippi State, MS","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":655400,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3}]}}

We examined the presence of pesticides in sediments of 151 wetlands split among the three dominant land use types, Conservation Reserve Program (CRP), cropland, and native prairie, in North and South Dakota in 2011. Herbicides (glyphosate and atrazine) and fungicides were detected regularly, with no insecticide detections. Glyphosate was the most detected pesticide, occurring in 61% of all wetlands, with atrazine in only 8% of wetlands. Pyraclostrobin was one of five fungicides detected, but the only one of significance, being detected in 31% of wetlands. Glyphosate was the only pesticide that differed by land use, with concentrations in cropland over four-times that in either native prairie or CRP, which were equal in concentration and frequency of detection. Despite examining several landscape variables, such as wetland proximity to specific crop types, watershed size, and others, land use was the best variable explaining pesticide concentrations in potholes. CRP ameliorated glyphosate in wetlands at concentrations comparable to native prairie and thereby provides another ecosystem service from this expansive program.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Elsevier","doi":"10.1016/j.scitotenv.2016.04.209","usgsCitation":"McMurry, S.T., Belden, J.B., Smith, L.M., Morrison, S.A., Daniel, D.W., Euliss, B.R., Euliss, N., Kensinger, B.J., and Tangen, B., 2016, Land use effects on pesticides in sediments of prairie pothole wetlands in North and South Dakota: Science of the Total Environment, v. 565, p. 682-689, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2016.04.209.","productDescription":"8 p.","startPage":"682","endPage":"689","ipdsId":"IP-062716","costCenters":[{"id":480,"text":"Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":462105,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2016.04.209","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":340991,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"North Dakota, South Dakota","volume":"565","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":4,"text":"Rolla PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5912d537e4b0e541a03d4523","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"McMurry, Scott T.","contributorId":191876,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"McMurry","given":"Scott","email":"","middleInitial":"T.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":694581,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Belden, Jason B.","contributorId":191877,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Belden","given":"Jason","email":"","middleInitial":"B.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":694582,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Smith, Loren M.","contributorId":191878,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Smith","given":"Loren","email":"","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":694583,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Morrison, Shane A.","contributorId":191879,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Morrison","given":"Shane","email":"","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":694584,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Daniel, Dale W.","contributorId":191880,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Daniel","given":"Dale","email":"","middleInitial":"W.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":694585,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Euliss, Betty R.","contributorId":191881,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Euliss","given":"Betty","email":"","middleInitial":"R.","affiliations":[{"id":24583,"text":"former USGS employee","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":694586,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6},{"text":"Euliss, Ned H.

We characterized genetic diversity at an MHC class II locus (</span><i>DRB1</i><span>) in Gunnison's prairie dog (</span><i>C.&nbsp;gunnisoni</i><span>) and quantified population genetic structure at the </span><i>DRB1</i><span>versus 12 microsatellite loci in three large Arizona colonies. Two colonies, Seligman (SE) and Espee Ranch (ES), have experienced multiple plague-related die-offs in recent years, whereas plague has never been documented at Aubrey Valley (AV). We found fairly low allelic diversity at the </span><i>DRB1</i><span> locus, with one allele (</span><i>DRB1</i><span>*01) at high frequency (0.67–0.87) in all colonies. Two other</span><i>DRB1</i><span> alleles appear to be trans-species polymorphisms shared with the black-tailed prairie dog (</span><i>C.&nbsp;ludovicianus</i><span>), indicating that these alleles have been maintained across evolutionary time frames. Estimates of genetic differentiation were generally lower at the MHC locus (</span><i>F</i><sub>ST</sub><span>&nbsp;=&nbsp;0.033) than at microsatellite markers (</span><i>F</i><sub>ST</sub><span>&nbsp;=&nbsp;0.098). The reduced differentiation at </span><i>DRB1</i><span> may indicate that selection has been important for shaping variation at MHC loci, regardless of the presence or absence of plague in recent decades. However, genetic drift has probably also influenced the</span><i>DRB1</i><span> locus because its level of differentiation was not different from that of microsatellites in an</span><i>F</i><sub>ST</sub><span> outlier analysis. We then compared specific MHC alleles to plague survivorship in 60</span><i>C.&nbsp;gunnisoni</i><span> that had been experimentally infected with </span><i>Y.&nbsp;pestis</i><span>. We found that survival was greater in individuals that carried at least one copy of the most common allele (</span><i>DRB1</i><span>*01) compared to those that did not (60% vs. 20%). Although the sample sizes of these two groups were unbalanced, this result suggests the possibility that this MHC class II locus, or a nearby linked gene, could play a role in plague survival.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Wiley","doi":"10.1002/ece3.2077","usgsCitation":"Cobble, K.R., Califf, K.J., Stone, N.E., Shuey, M., Birdsell, D., Colman, R.E., Schupp, J., Aziz, M., Van Andel, R., Rocke, T.E., Wagner, D.M., and Busch, J.D., 2016, Genetic variation at the MHC <i>DRB1</i> locus is similar across Gunnison's prairie dog (<i>Cynomys gunnisoni</i>) colonies regardless of plague history: Ecology and Evolution, v. 6, no. 8, p. 2624-2651, https://doi.org/10.1002/ece3.2077.","productDescription":"28 p.","startPage":"2624","endPage":"2651","ipdsId":"IP-073056","costCenters":[{"id":456,"text":"National Wildlife Health Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":470611,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/ece3.2077","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":328618,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"6","issue":"8","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":6,"text":"Columbus PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2016-03-16","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"57d92339e4b090824ffa1a8b","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Cobble, Kacy R.","contributorId":38438,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Cobble","given":"Kacy","email":"","middleInitial":"R.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":648735,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Califf, Katy J.","contributorId":174614,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Califf","given":"Katy","email":"","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[{"id":27479,"text":"Center for Microbial Genetics and Genomics, Northern Arizona University, PO Box 4073, Flagstaff, AZ, 86011, USA","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":648736,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Stone, Nathan E.","contributorId":52075,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Stone","given":"Nathan","email":"","middleInitial":"E.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":648737,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Shuey, Megan M.","contributorId":51200,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Shuey","given":"Megan M.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":648738,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Birdsell, Dawn","contributorId":174615,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Birdsell","given":"Dawn","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":27480,"text":"1Center for Microbial Genetics and Genomics, Northern Arizona University, PO Box 4073, Flagstaff, AZ, 86011, USA","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":648739,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Colman, Rebecca E.","contributorId":107988,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Colman","given":"Rebecca","email":"","middleInitial":"E.","affiliations":[{"id":12698,"text":"Northern Arizona University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":648740,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6},{"text":"Schupp, James M.","contributorId":36455,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Schupp","given":"James M.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":648741,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":7},{"text":"Aziz, Maliha","contributorId":174616,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Aziz","given":"Maliha","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":27481,"text":"Translational Genomics Research Institute North, 3051 W.

Conserving the delta smelt population while providing reliability to California’s water supply with water diverted from the SFE ecosystem is a major management and policy issue. Feyrer et al. (2011) evaluated historic and projected future abiotic habitat conditions for delta smelt. Manly et al. (2015) specifically commented regarding the following: (1) use of an independent abundance estimate, (2) spatial bias in the habitat index, and (3) application of the habitat index to future climate change projections. Here, we provide our reply to these three topics. While we agree that some of the concepts raised by Manly et al. (2015) have the potential to improve habitat assessments and their application to climate change scenarios as knowledge is gained, we note that the Feyrer et al.

We used a dam-removal science database supplemented with other information sources to explore seven frequently-raised concerns, herein Common Management Concerns (CMCs). We investigate the occurrence of these concerns and the contributing biophysical controls. The CMCs addressed are: degree and rate of reservoir sediment erosion, excessive channel incision upstream of reservoirs, downstream sediment aggradation, elevated downstream turbidity, drawdown impacts on local water infrastructure, colonization of reservoir sediments by non-native plants, and expansion of invasive fish. Biophysical controls emerged for some of the concerns, providing managers with information to assess whether a given concern is likely to occur at a site. To fully assess CMC risk, managers should concurrently evaluate site conditions and identify the ecosystem or human uses that will be negatively affected if the biophysical phenomenon producing the CMC occurs. We show how many CMCs have one or more controls in common, facilitating the identification of multiple risks at a site, and demonstrate why CMC risks should be considered in the context of other factors like natural watershed variability and disturbance history.","language":"English","publisher":"Wiley","doi":"10.1111/1752-1688.12450","usgsCitation":"Tullos, D.D., Collins, M.J., Bellmore, J.R., Bountry, J.A., Connolly, P., Shafroth, P.B., and Wilcox, A., 2016, Synthesis of common management concerns associated with dam removal: Journal of the American Water Resources Association, v. 52, no. 5, p. 1179-1206, https://doi.org/10.1111/1752-1688.12450.","productDescription":"27 p.

Although in some cases these ecological studies could reveal transmitter effects on behavior and mortality, experiments conducted under controlled conditions can provide valuable information to understand the influence of implanted tags on health and physiology. We report the clinical, mass, biochemical, and histological responses of captive Common Eiders (</span><i><i>Somateria mollissima</i></i><span>) implanted with PTTs with percutaneous antennas. We trained 6 individuals to dive 4.9 m for their food, allowed them to acclimate to this dive depth, and implanted them with PTTs. We collected data before surgery to establish baselines, and for 3.5 mo after surgery. The first feeding dive took place 22 hr after surgery, with 5 of 6 birds diving to the bottom within 35 hr of surgery. Plumage waterproofing around surgical sites was reduced ≤21 days after surgery. Mass; albumin; albumin:globulin ratio; aspartate aminotransferase; β</span><sub>1</sub><span>-, β</span><sub>2</sub><span>-, and γ-globulins; creatine kinase; fecal glucocorticoid metabolites; heterophil:lymphocyte ratio; and packed cell volume changed from baseline on one or more of the postsurgery sampling dates, and some changes were still evident 3.5 mo after surgery. Our findings show that Common Eiders physiologically responded for up to 3.5 mo after surgical implantation of a PTT, with the greatest response occurring within the first few weeks of implantation. These responses support the need for postsurgery censor periods for satellite telemetry data and should be considered when designing studies and analyzing information from PTTs in sea ducks.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"American Ornithological Society","doi":"10.1650/CONDOR-16-7.1","usgsCitation":"Latty, C.J., Hollmen, T.E., Petersen, M.R., Powell, A., and Andrews, R.D., 2016, Biochemical and clinical responses of Common Eiders to implanted satellite transmitters: The Condor, v. 118, no. 3, p. 489-501, https://doi.org/10.1650/CONDOR-16-7.1.","productDescription":"13 p.","startPage":"489","endPage":"501","ipdsId":"IP-076365","costCenters":[{"id":198,"text":"Coop Res Unit Atlanta","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":462099,"rank":1,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1650/condor-16-7.1","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":438557,"rank":0,"type":{"id":30,"text":"Data Release"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.5066/F7MG7MR0","text":"USGS data release","linkHelpText":"Common Eider Blood Chemistry Data, Alaska, 2005"},{"id":331010,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"118","issue":"3","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":9,"text":"Reston PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"582c2ce5e4b0c253be072c06","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Latty, Christopher J.","contributorId":146588,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Latty","given":"Christopher","email":"","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[{"id":6752,"text":"University of Alaska Fairbanks","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":653820,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Hollmen, Tuula E.","contributorId":106077,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Hollmen","given":"Tuula","email":"","middleInitial":"E.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":653821,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Petersen, Margaret R. 0000-0001-6082-3189 mrpetersen@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6082-3189","contributorId":167729,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Petersen","given":"Margaret","email":"mrpetersen@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"R.","affiliations":[{"id":117,"text":"Alaska Science Center Biology WTEB","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":653752,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Powell, Abby 0000-0002-9783-134X abby_powell@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9783-134X","contributorId":176843,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Powell","given":"Abby","email":"abby_powell@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":198,"text":"Coop Res Unit Atlanta","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":117,"text":"Alaska Science Center Biology WTEB","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":200,"text":"Coop Res Unit Seattle","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":653751,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Andrews, Russel D.","contributorId":146589,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Andrews","given":"Russel","email":"","middleInitial":"D.","affiliations":[{"id":16211,"text":"Alaska SeaLife Center","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":653822,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5}]}}
