Many desert rivers have undergone regime shifts from spatially and temporally dynamic ecosystems to more stable systems dominated by homogenous physical habitat. Restoration of desert river systems could aid in biodiversity conservation, but poses formidable challenges due to multiple threats and the infeasibility of recovery to pre-development conditions. The challenges faced in restoring desert rivers can be addressed by incorporating scientific recommendations into restoration planning efforts at multiple stages, as demonstrated here through an example restoration project. In particular, use of a watershed-scale planning process can identify data gaps and irreversible constraints, which aid in developing achievable restoration goals and objectives. Site-prioritization focuses limited the resources for restoration on areas with the greatest potential to improve populations of target organisms. Investment in research to understand causes of degradation, coupled with adoption of a guiding vision is critical for identifying feasible restoration actions that can enhance river processes. Setting monitoring as a project goal, developing hypotheses for expected outcomes, and implementing restoration as an experimental design will facilitate adaptive management and learning from project implementation. Involvement of scientists and managers during all planning stages is critical for developing process-based restoration actions and an implementation plan to maximize learning. The planning process developed here provides a roadmap for use of scientific recommendations in future efforts to recover dynamic processes in imperiled riverine ecosystems.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Springer","doi":"10.1007/s00267-015-0481-5","usgsCitation":"Laub, B.G., Jimenez, J., and Budy, P., 2015, Application of science-based restoration planning to a desert river system: Environmental Management, v. 55, no. 6, p. 1246-1261, https://doi.org/10.1007/s00267-015-0481-5.","productDescription":"16 p.","startPage":"1246","endPage":"1261","ipdsId":"IP-053441","costCenters":[{"id":200,"text":"Coop Res Unit Seattle","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":347487,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","otherGeospatial":"San Rafael River watershed","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -111.5606689453125,\n              38.361041528596026\n            ],\n            [\n              -110.0555419921875,\n              38.361041528596026\n            ],\n            [\n              -110.0555419921875,\n              39.69239407904182\n            ],\n            [\n              -111.5606689453125,\n              39.69239407904182\n            ],\n            [\n              -111.5606689453125,\n              38.361041528596026\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"55","issue":"6","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":12,"text":"Tacoma PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2015-04-08","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5a07eb5de4b09af898c8ccdb","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Laub, Brian G.","contributorId":198569,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Laub","given":"Brian","email":"","middleInitial":"G.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":716424,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Jimenez, Justin","contributorId":198570,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Jimenez","given":"Justin","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":716425,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Budy, Phaedra E. 0000-0002-9918-1678 pbudy@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9918-1678","contributorId":140028,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Budy","given":"Phaedra","email":"pbudy@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"E.","affiliations":[{"id":438,"text":"National Research Program - Western Branch","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":200,"text":"Coop Res Unit Seattle","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":713771,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3}]}}

Assessing the effects of Euro-American settlement is difficult because climate changes occur on multi-decadal to centennial time scales and require longer time perspectives than historic observations can provide. Here, we report vegetation and environmental changes over the past ~13,000&thinsp;years as recorded in a sediment record from Bison Lake, a subalpine lake on a high plateau in northwestern Colorado. Results are based on multiple independent proxies, which include pollen, charcoal, and elemental geochemistry, and are compared with previously reported interpretations of hydroclimatic changes from oxygen isotope ratios. The pollen data indicate a slowly changing vegetation sequence from sagebrush steppe during the late glacial to coniferous forest through the late Holocene. The most dramatic vegetation changes of the Holocene occurred during the &lsquo;Medieval Climate Anomaly&rsquo; (MCA) and &lsquo;Little Ice Age&rsquo; (LIA) with rapid replacement of conifer forest by grassland followed by an equally rapid return to conifer forest. Late Holocene vegetation responses are mirrored by changes in fire, lake biological productivity, and watershed erosion. These combined records indicate that subsequent disturbance related to Euro-American settlement, although perhaps significant, had acted upon a landscape that was already responding to MCA-LIA hydroclimatic change. Results document both rapid and long-term subalpine grassland ecosystem dynamics driven by agents of change that can be anticipated in the future and simulated by ecosystem models.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Sage Journals","doi":"10.1177/0959683615574583","usgsCitation":"Anderson, L., Brunelle, A., and Thompson, R.S., 2015, A multi-proxy record of hydroclimate, vegetation, fire, and post-settlement impacts for a subalpine plateau, Central Rocky Mountains U.S.A: The Holocene, v. 25, no. 6, p. 932-943, https://doi.org/10.1177/0959683615574583.","productDescription":"12 p.","startPage":"932","endPage":"943","onlineOnly":"N","additionalOnlineFiles":"N","ipdsId":"IP-058200","costCenters":[{"id":318,"text":"Geosciences and Environmental Change Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":324911,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"otherGeospatial":"Rocky Mountains","volume":"25","issue":"6","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2015-03-16","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5780ceaee4b0811616822299","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Anderson, Lesleigh 0000-0002-5264-089X land@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5264-089X","contributorId":436,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Anderson","given":"Lesleigh","email":"land@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":318,"text":"Geosciences and Environmental Change Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":537111,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Brunelle, Andrea","contributorId":131053,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Brunelle","given":"Andrea","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":7215,"text":"University of Utah Dept. of Geography","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":537112,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Thompson, Robert S. 0000-0001-9287-2954 rthompson@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9287-2954","contributorId":891,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Thompson","given":"Robert","email":"rthompson@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"S.","affiliations":[{"id":318,"text":"Geosciences and Environmental Change Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":537113,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3}]}}

We collected macroinvertebrate samples over the course of 1 y from restored and unrestored reaches of 3 streams in southern Minnesota and used generalized least-square (GLS) models to assess whether measures of community structure were related to reach type, stream site, or sampling month. After accounting for effects of stream site and time, we found no significant difference in total taxon richness or % abundance of EPT taxa between restored and unrestored reaches.

We had the opportunity to monitor Sandhill Cranes (Grus canadensis) flying in heavy fog with very low visibility during a comprehensive landscape use study of refuging cranes in the Horicon Marsh in southeastern Wisconsin. As part of the study, we recorded flight patterns of cranes with a portable marine radar at various locations and times of day, and visually counted cranes as they departed the roost in the morning. We compared flight patterns during a fog event with those recorded during clear conditions. In good visibility, cranes usually departed the night roost shortly after sunrise and flew in relatively straight paths toward foraging areas. In fog, cranes departed the roost later in the day, did not venture far from the roost, engaged in significantly more circling flight, and returned to the roost site rather than proceeding to foraging areas. We also noted that compared to mornings with good visibility, cranes flying in fog called more frequently than usual. The only time in this 2-year study that observers heard young of the year calling was during the fog event. The observed behavior of cranes circling and lingering in an area while flying in poor visibility conditions suggests that such situations may increase chances of colliding with natural or anthropogenic obstacles in the vicinity.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"Wilson Ornithological Society","doi":"10.1676/wils-127-02-281-288.1","usgsCitation":"Kirsch, E.M., Wellik, M.J., Suarez, M.J., Diehl, R., Lutes, J., Woyczik, W., Krapfl, J., and Sojda, R.S., 2015, Observation of sandhill cranes' (<i>Grus canadensis</i>) flight behavior in heavy fog: Wilson Journal of Ornithology, v. 127, no. 2, p. 281-288, https://doi.org/10.1676/wils-127-02-281-288.1.","productDescription":"8 p.","startPage":"281","endPage":"288","onlineOnly":"N","additionalOnlineFiles":"N","ipdsId":"IP-058176","costCenters":[{"id":606,"text":"Upper Midwest Environmental Sciences Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":306868,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Wisconsin","otherGeospatial":"Horicon Marsh","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -88.6981201171875,\n              43.52191665082259\n            ],\n            [\n              -88.6981201171875,\n              43.61395676232749\n            ],\n            [\n              -88.59615325927734,\n              43.61395676232749\n            ],\n            [\n              -88.59615325927734,\n              43.52191665082259\n            ],\n            [\n              -88.6981201171875,\n              43.52191665082259\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"127","issue":"2","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":6,"text":"Columbus PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"55d45732e4b0518e354694dc","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Kirsch, Eileen M. 0000-0002-2818-5022 ekirsch@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2818-5022","contributorId":3477,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Kirsch","given":"Eileen","email":"ekirsch@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[{"id":606,"text":"Upper Midwest Environmental Sciences Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":568419,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Wellik, Mike J. 0000-0002-3123-3988 mwellik@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3123-3988","contributorId":4587,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Wellik","given":"Mike","email":"mwellik@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[{"id":606,"text":"Upper Midwest Environmental Sciences Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":568420,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Suarez, Manuel J. msuarez@usgs.gov","contributorId":3086,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Suarez","given":"Manuel","email":"msuarez@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[{"id":606,"text":"Upper Midwest Environmental Sciences Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":568421,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Diehl, Robert H.","contributorId":146608,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Diehl","given":"Robert H.","affiliations":[{"id":13403,"text":"University of Southern Mississippi, Department of Biological Sciences, Hattiesburg, Mississippi, USA","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":568422,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Lutes, Jim","contributorId":146609,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Lutes","given":"Jim","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":16733,"text":"U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Leopold Wetland Management District","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":568423,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Woyczik, Wendy","contributorId":146610,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Woyczik","given":"Wendy","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":16734,"text":"U.

Left unmanaged, most natural areas would continue along a trajectory towards domination by nonnative species; however, several projects have undertaken the daunting task of ecological restoration, four of which are the subject of Restoring Paradise by Robert Cabin: Hakalau Forest National Wildlife Refuge; Hawai&lsquo;i Volcanoes National Park; the Auwahi dryland forest, Maui and Limahuli Garden and Preserve, Kaua&lsquo;i. After an introductory section discussing the setting and factors that have contributed to so much of the degradation and extinction of Hawai&lsquo;i&rsquo;s native biota, Cabin outlines two different views of restoration in two central sections of the book: ad hoc, trial-and-error approaches versus the careful application of science to direct restoration. The time-tested methods of fence construction, ungulate removal, weed control, and replanting native species with the help of numerous volunteers and community support are presented in marked contrast to inconsistent applications of science in guiding restoration, and illustrated by some of the author&rsquo;s unsuccessful research. The book is largely presented as a non-technical first-person account of travels and meetings with key personalities driving restoration projects. The philosophies of restoration practitioners are embedded in passages from interviews. Setbacks, obstacles, logistical constraints, and successes are narrated in between as Cabin revisits each of the restoration sites. The utility of science in restoration is frequently questioned by the author and sometimes abandoned by practitioners in favour of a &lsquo;let-nature-take-its-course&rsquo; approach.</span></p>\n<p><span>Review info: <i>Restoring Paradise: Rethinking and Rebuilding Nature in Hawaii</i>.

Yet, because of their length and continuity these data are valuable for future research. Therefore, we built a public accessible website to preserve data records of two examples of long-term monitoring (40 and 18&nbsp;years) of the fluvial geomorphic response to natural disturbances. One disturbance was ∼50-year flood on Powder River in Montana in 1978, and the second disturbance was a catastrophic flood on Spring Creek following a ∼100-year rainstorm after a wildfire in Colorado in 1996.</p><p id=\"sp0010\">Two critical issues arise relative to preserving fluvial geomorphic data. The first is preserving the data themselves, but the second, and just as important, is preserving information about the location of the field research sites where the data were collected so the sites can be re-located and re-surveyed in the future. The latter allows long-term datasets to be extended into the future and to provide critical background data for interpreting future landscape changes.

Only <sup>235</sup>U is fissionable and makes up about 0.7% of natural U, while <sup>238</sup>U is overwhelmingly the most abundant at greater than 99% of the total mass of U. Prior to the 1940s, U was predominantly used as a coloring agent, and U-bearing ores were mined mainly for their radium (Ra) and/or vanadium (V) content; the bulk of the U was discarded with the tailings (Finch et al., 1972). Once nuclear fission was discovered, the economic importance of U increased greatly. The mining and milling of U-bearing ores is the first step in the nuclear fuel cycle, and the contact of residual waste with natural water is a potential source of contamination of U and associated elements to the environment. Uranium is mined by three basic methods: surface (open pit), underground, and solution mining (in situ leaching or in situ recovery), depending on the deposit grade, size, location, geology and economic considerations (Abdelouas, 2006). Solid wastes at U mill tailings (UMT) sites can include both standard tailings (i.e., leached ore rock residues) and solids generated on site by waste treatment processes. The latter can include sludge or “mud” from neutralization of acidic mine/mill effluents, containing Fe and a range of coprecipitated constituents, or barium sulfate precipitates that selectively remove Ra (e.g., Carvalho et al., 2007). In this chapter, we review the hydrometallurgical processes by which U is extracted from ore, the biogeochemical processes that can affect the fate and transport of U and associated elements in the environment, and possible remediation strategies for site closure and aquifer restoration.</p><p id=\"sp0015\">This paper represents the fourth in a series of review papers from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) on geochemical aspects of UMT management that span more than three decades.

The second paper (Landa, 1999) includes coverage of research carried out under the U.S. Department of Energy’s Uranium Mill Tailings Remedial Action Program (UMTRA). The third paper (Landa, 2004) reflects the increased focus of researchers on biotic effects in UMT environs.

To accomplish these goals, the NPS has implemented the Alaska Region Vital Signs Inventory and Monitoring (I&amp;M) Program to monitor key biological, chemical, and physical components of ecosystems at more than 270 national parks. The Alaska Region has four networks—Arctic, Central, Southeast, and Southwest. By monitoring vital signs over large spatial and temporal scales, park managers are provided with information on the status and trajectory of park resources as well as a greater understanding and insight into the ecosystem dynamics. While detecting and quantifying change is important to conservation efforts, to be useful for formulating remedial actions, monitoring data must explicitly relate to management objectives and be collected in such a manner as to resolve key uncertainties about the dynamics of the system (Nichols and Williams 2006).

Yet, fishery landings from these systems are frequently unresponsive to changes in the severity and extent of hypoxia, and population-scale effects have been difficult to measure except in extreme hypoxic conditions with hypoxia-sensitive species. We investigated fine-scale temporal and spatial variability in dissolved oxygen in Lake Erie as it related to fish distribution and catch efficiencies of both active (bottom trawls) and passive (trap nets) fishing gears. Temperature and dissolved oxygen loggers placed near the edge of the hypolimnion exhibited much higher than expected variability. Hypoxic episodes of variable durations were frequently punctuated by periods of normoxia, consistent with high-frequency internal waves. High-resolution interpolations of water quality and hydroacoustic surveys suggest that fish habitat is compressed during hypoxic episodes, resulting in higher fish densities near the edges of hypoxia. At fixed locations with passive commercial fishing gear, catches with the highest values occurred when bottom waters were hypoxic for intermediate proportions of time. Proximity to hypoxia explained significant variation in bottom trawl catches, with higher catch rates near the edge of hypoxia. These results emphasize how hypoxia may elevate catch rates in various types of fishing gears, leading to a lack of association between indices of hypoxia and fishery landings. Increased catch rates of fish at the edges of hypoxia have important implications for stock assessment models that assume catchability is spatially homogeneous.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"NRC Research Press","doi":"10.1139/cjfas-2014-0517","usgsCitation":"Kraus, R.T., Knight, C.T., Farmer, T.M., Gorman, A.M., Collingsworth, P.D., Warren, G.J., Kocovsky, P.M., and Conroy, J.D., 2015, Dynamic hypoxic zones in Lake Erie compress fish habitat, altering vulnerability to fishing gears: Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences, v. 72, no. 6, p. 797-806, https://doi.org/10.1139/cjfas-2014-0517.","productDescription":"10 p.","startPage":"797","endPage":"806","onlineOnly":"N","additionalOnlineFiles":"N","ipdsId":"IP-060963","costCenters":[{"id":324,"text":"Great Lakes Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":305617,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Ohio","city":"Fairport Harbor","otherGeospatial":"Lake Erie","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -81.31805419921875,\n              41.740577910570785\n            ],\n            [\n              -81.31805419921875,\n              41.78052894057897\n            ],\n            [\n              -81.23222351074219,\n              41.78052894057897\n            ],\n            [\n              -81.23222351074219,\n              41.740577910570785\n            ],\n            [\n              -81.31805419921875,\n              41.740577910570785\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"72","issue":"6","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":6,"text":"Columbus PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"559e49aae4b0b94a64018f63","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Kraus, Richard T. 0000-0003-4494-1841 rkraus@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4494-1841","contributorId":2609,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Kraus","given":"Richard","email":"rkraus@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"T.","affiliations":[{"id":324,"text":"Great Lakes Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":564223,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Knight, Carey T.","contributorId":56529,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Knight","given":"Carey","email":"","middleInitial":"T.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":564487,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Farmer, Troy M.","contributorId":69893,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Farmer","given":"Troy","email":"","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":564488,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Gorman, Ann Marie","contributorId":145525,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Gorman","given":"Ann","email":"","middleInitial":"Marie","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":564489,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Collingsworth, Paris D.","contributorId":145526,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Collingsworth","given":"Paris","email":"","middleInitial":"D.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":564490,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Warren, Glenn J.","contributorId":79407,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Warren","given":"Glenn","email":"","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":564491,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6},{"text":"Kocovsky, Patrick M. 0000-0003-4325-4265 pkocovsky@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4325-4265","contributorId":3429,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Kocovsky","given":"Patrick","email":"pkocovsky@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[{"id":251,"text":"Ecosystems Mission Area","active":false,"usgs":true},{"id":324,"text":"Great Lakes Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":564492,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":7},{"text":"Conroy, Joseph D.","contributorId":145527,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Conroy","given":"Joseph","email":"","middleInitial":"D.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":564493,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":8}]}}

In addition, some individuals in a group may be more likely than others to influence intergroup conflicts, a relatively neglected idea in research on social animals. Here we use observations of aggressive interactions between wolf (</span><i>Canis lupus</i><span>) packs over an extended period and use pack characteristics to determine which groups had an advantage over their opponents. During 16 years of observation in Yellowstone National Park from 1995 to 2010, we documented 121 interpack aggressive interactions. We recorded pack sizes, compositions, and spatial orientation related to residency to determine their effects on the outcomes of interactions between packs. Relative pack size (RPS) improved the odds of a pack displacing its opponent. However, pack composition moderated the effect of RPS as packs with relatively more old members (&gt;6.0 years old) or adult males had higher odds of winning despite a numerical disadvantage. The location of the interaction with respect to pack territories had no effect on the outcome of interpack interactions. Although the importance of RPS in successful territorial defense suggests the evolution and maintenance of group living may be at least partly due to larger packs&rsquo; success during interpack interactions, group composition is also an important factor, highlighting that some individuals are more valuable than others during interpack conflicts.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Oxford Journals","doi":"10.1093/beheco/arv081","usgsCitation":"Cassidy, K.A., MacNulty, D.R., Stahler, D.R., Smith, D.W., and Mech, L.D., 2015, Group composition effects on aggressive interpack interactions of gray wolves in Yellowstone National Park: Behavioral Ecology, v. 26, no. 5, p. 1352-1360, https://doi.org/10.1093/beheco/arv081.","productDescription":"9 p.","startPage":"1352","endPage":"1360","onlineOnly":"N","additionalOnlineFiles":"N","ipdsId":"IP-057162","costCenters":[{"id":480,"text":"Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":472048,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1093/beheco/arv081","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":306653,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Wyoming","otherGeospatial":"Yellowstone National Park","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -111.0662841796875,\n              44.09942068528651\n            ],\n            [\n              -111.0662841796875,\n              45.00753503123719\n            ],\n            [\n              -109.720458984375,\n              45.00753503123719\n            ],\n            [\n              -109.720458984375,\n              44.09942068528651\n            ],\n            [\n              -111.0662841796875,\n              44.09942068528651\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"26","issue":"5","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":4,"text":"Rolla PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2015-06-25","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"55cdbfb6e4b08400b1fe1407","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Cassidy, Kira A.","contributorId":145492,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Cassidy","given":"Kira","email":"","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[{"id":16134,"text":"Yellowstone Wolf Project, Yellowstone Ctr for Resources","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":564210,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"MacNulty, Daniel R.","contributorId":64069,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"MacNulty","given":"Daniel","email":"","middleInitial":"R.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":564211,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Stahler, Daniel R.","contributorId":57703,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Stahler","given":"Daniel","email":"","middleInitial":"R.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":564212,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Smith, Douglas W.","contributorId":95727,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Smith","given":"Douglas","email":"","middleInitial":"W.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":564213,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Mech, L.

The population of small-eared shrews (Mammalia, Eulipotyphla, Soricidae, Cryptotis) inhabiting the Sierra de Perij&aacute; previously was known from only a single skull from an individual collected in Colombia in 1989. This specimen had been referred to alternatively as C. thomasi and C. meridensis, but more precise definition of the known Colombian and Venezuelan species of Cryptotis has since excluded the Sierra de Perij&aacute; population from any named species. The recent collection of a specimen from the Venezuelan slope of Sierra de Perij&aacute;, prompted us to re-evaluate the taxonomic status of this population and determine its relationship with other Andean shrews. Our examination of the available specimens revealed that they possess a unique suite of morphological and morphometrical characters, and we describe the Sierra de Perij&aacute; population as a new species in the South American C. thomasi species group.

Simple predictions based on this record indicate that area burned will increase as a response to climate warming in Alaska. However, two additional factors have affected the area burned in this time record: the Pacific decadal oscillation (PDO) switched from cool and moist to warm and dry in the late 1970s and the Alaska Fire Service instituted a fire suppression policy in the late 1980s. In this paper a geographic information system (GIS) is used in combination with statistical analyses to reevaluate the changes in area burned through time in Alaska considering both the influence of the PDO and fire management. The authors found that the area burned has increased since the PDO switch and that fire management drastically decreased the area burned in highly suppressed zones. However, the temporal analysis of this study shows that the area burned is increasing more rapidly in suppressed zones than in the unsuppressed zone since the late 1980s. These results indicate that fire policies as well as regional climate patterns are important as large-scale controls on fires over time and across the Alaskan boreal forest.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"American Meteorological Society","doi":"10.1175/EI-D-14-0025.1","usgsCitation":"Calef, M., Varvak, A., McGuire, A.D., Chapin, F.S., and Reinhold, K.B., 2015, Recent changes in annual area burned in interior Alaska: The impact of fire management: Earth Interactions, v. 19, p. 1-17, https://doi.org/10.1175/EI-D-14-0025.1.","productDescription":"17 p.","startPage":"1","endPage":"17","ipdsId":"IP-056705","costCenters":[{"id":200,"text":"Coop Res Unit Seattle","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":472057,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1175/ei-d-14-0025.1","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":348467,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Alaska","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -157.67578125,\n              62.12443624549497\n            ],\n            [\n              -143.0419921875,\n              62.12443624549497\n            ],\n            [\n              -143.0419921875,\n              67.13582938531948\n            ],\n            [\n              -157.67578125,\n              67.13582938531948\n            ],\n            [\n              -157.67578125,\n              62.12443624549497\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"19","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":12,"text":"Tacoma PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2015-06-29","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5a0425c3e4b0dc0b45b45405","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Calef, M.P.","contributorId":55213,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Calef","given":"M.P.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":721285,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Varvak, Anna","contributorId":200173,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Varvak","given":"Anna","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":721286,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"McGuire, A.

We used linear regression to determine the relationship between fall and spring air temperature indices, fall wind speed, winter ice cover, and lake whitefish recruitment in 13 management units located in the 1836 Treaty Waters of the Upper Great Lakes ceded by the Ottawa and Chippewa nations, a culturally and commercially important region for the lake whitefish fishery.

Efforts to monitor and characterize the earthquake sequences in central Oklahoma are reviewed. Since early 2010, numerous organizations have deployed temporary portable seismic stations in central Oklahoma to record the evolving seismicity. A multiple-event relocation method is applied to produce a catalog of central Oklahoma earthquakes from late 2009 into early 2015. Regional moment tensor (RMT) source parameters were determined for the largest and best-recorded earthquakes. Combining RMT results with relocated seismicity enabled determination of the length, depth, and style of faulting occurring on reactivated subsurface fault systems. It was found that the majority of earthquakes occur on near-vertical, optimally oriented (northeast-southwest and northwest-southeast) strike-slip faults in the shallow crystalline basement. In 2014, 17 earthquakes occurred with magnitudes of 4 or larger. It is suggested that these recently reactivated fault systems pose the greatest potential hazard to the region.</span><br></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Society of Exploration

Specifically, animals may decline in abundance where their reproductive success is low, and these poor-quality locations differ among species. Yet habitat use does not always appear adaptive. The crucial tests of how abundances and demographic costs of animals vary along experimentally manipulated vegetation gradients are lacking. We examined habitat use and nest predation rates for 16 bird species that exhibited turnover with shifts in deciduous and coniferous vegetation. For most bird species, decreasing abundance was associated with increasing predation rates along both natural and experimentally modified vegetation gradients. This landscape-scale approach strongly supports the idea that vegetation-mediated effects of predation are associated with animal distributions and species turnover.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Ecological Society of America","doi":"10.1890/14-1333.1","usgsCitation":"LaManna, J.A., Hemenway, A.B., Boccadori, V., and Martin, T.E., 2015, Bird species turnover is related to changing predation risk along a vegetation gradient: Ecology, v. 96, no. 6, p. 1670-1680, https://doi.org/10.1890/14-1333.1.","productDescription":"11 p.","startPage":"1670","endPage":"1680","ipdsId":"IP-043972","costCenters":[{"id":200,"text":"Coop Res Unit Seattle","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":348485,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Montana","volume":"96","issue":"6","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":12,"text":"Tacoma PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5a0425c3e4b0dc0b45b45407","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"LaManna, Joseph A.","contributorId":171738,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"LaManna","given":"Joseph","email":"","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":721326,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Hemenway, Amy B.","contributorId":200185,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Hemenway","given":"Amy","email":"","middleInitial":"B.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":721327,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Boccadori, Vanna","contributorId":200186,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Boccadori","given":"Vanna","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":721328,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Martin, Thomas E. 0000-0002-4028-4867 tmartin@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4028-4867","contributorId":1208,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Martin","given":"Thomas","email":"tmartin@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"E.","affiliations":[{"id":200,"text":"Coop Res Unit Seattle","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":716702,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4}]}}

To interpret the stratigraphic record it is critical to understand how environmental signals transfer from sedimentary source regions to depositional sinks, and in particular to understand the role of buffering in obscuring climatic or tectonic signals. In dryland regions, signal buffering can include sediment cycling through linked fluvial and eolian systems. We investigate sediment-routing connectivity between the Indus River and the Thar Desert, where fluvial and eolian systems exchanged sediment over large spatial scales (hundreds of kilometers). Summer monsoon winds recycle sediment from the lower Indus River and delta northeastward, i.e., downwind and upstream, into the desert. Far-field eolian recycling of Indus sediment is important enough to control sediment provenance at the downwind end of the desert substantially, although the proportion of Indus sediment of various ages varies regionally within the desert; dune sands in the northwestern Thar Desert resemble the Late Holocene&ndash;Recent Indus delta, requiring short transport and reworking times. On smaller spatial scales (1&ndash;10 m) along fluvial channels in the northern Thar Desert, there is also stratigraphic evidence of fluvial and eolian sediment reworking from local rivers. In terms of sediment volume, we estimate that the Thar Desert could be a more substantial sedimentary store than all other known buffer regions in the Indus basin combined. Thus, since the mid-Holocene, when the desert expanded as the summer monsoon rainfall decreased, fluvial-eolian recycling has been an important but little recognized process buffering sediment flux to the ocean. Similar fluvial-eolian connectivity likely also affects sediment routing and signal transfer in other dryland regions globally.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"SEPM","doi":"10.2110/jsr.2015.42","usgsCitation":"East, A., Clift, P., Carter, A., Alizai, A., and VanLaningham, S., 2015, Fluvial-aeolian interactions in sediment routing and sedimentary signal buffering: an example from the Indus Basin and Thar Desert: Journal of Sedimentary Research, v. 85, no. 6, p. 715-728, https://doi.org/10.2110/jsr.2015.42.","productDescription":"14 p.","startPage":"715","endPage":"728","onlineOnly":"N","additionalOnlineFiles":"N","ipdsId":"IP-063797","costCenters":[{"id":520,"text":"Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":308487,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"India","otherGeospatial":"Indus Basin, Thar Desert","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              74.88727569580077,\n              29.52447547055938\n            ],\n            [\n              74.88727569580077,\n              29.577637329387468\n            ],\n            [\n              75.02838134765625,\n              29.577637329387468\n            ],\n            [\n              75.02838134765625,\n              29.52447547055938\n            ],\n            [\n              74.88727569580077,\n              29.52447547055938\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"85","issue":"6","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":14,"text":"Menlo Park PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2015-06-29","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"56051ebfe4b058f706e512c0","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"East, Amy E. aeast@usgs.gov","contributorId":140988,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"East","given":"Amy E.","email":"aeast@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":520,"text":"Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":573197,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Clift, Peter D.","contributorId":103203,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Clift","given":"Peter D.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":573198,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Carter, Andrew","contributorId":52821,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Carter","given":"Andrew","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":573199,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Alizai, Anwar","contributorId":147911,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Alizai","given":"Anwar","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":16954,"text":"Geological Survey of Pakistan","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":573200,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"VanLaningham, Sam","contributorId":147912,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"VanLaningham","given":"Sam","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":6680,"text":"Oregon State University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":573201,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5}]}}
