Previous work has highlighted the importance of predator characteristics in predicting NCEs, but has not addressed how complex life histories of prey could mediate predator NCEs. We conducted a meta-analysis to compare the effects of predator gape limitation (gape limited or not) and hunting mode (active or sit-and-pursue) on the activity, larval period, and size at metamorphosis of larval aquatic amphibians and invertebrates. Larval prey tended to reduce their activity and require more time to reach metamorphosis in the presence of all predator functional groups, but the responses did not differ from zero. Prey metamorphosed at smaller size in response to non-gape-limited, active predators, but counter to expectations, prey metamorphosed larger when confronted by non-gape-limited, sit-and-pursue predators. These results indicate NCEs on larval prey life history can be strongly influenced by predator functional characteristics. More broadly, our results suggest that understanding predator NCEs would benefit from greater consideration of how prey life history attributes mediate population and community-level outcomes.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Springer","doi":"10.1007/s00442-014-2996-5","usgsCitation":"Davenport, J., Hossack, B.R., and Lowe, W.H., 2014, Partitioning the non‑consumptive effects of predators on preywith complex life histories: Oecologia, v. 176, no. 1, p. 149-155, https://doi.org/10.1007/s00442-014-2996-5.","productDescription":"7 p.","startPage":"149","endPage":"155","numberOfPages":"7","onlineOnly":"N","additionalOnlineFiles":"N","ipdsId":"IP-051612","costCenters":[{"id":481,"text":"Northern Rocky Mountain Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":295942,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"176","issue":"1","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2014-06-26","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"545ded2de4b0ba8303f92b93","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Davenport, Jon M.","contributorId":126727,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Davenport","given":"Jon M.","affiliations":[{"id":6583,"text":"University of Montana, Division of Biological Sciences, Missoula, MT, USA 59812","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":522748,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Hossack, Blake R. 0000-0001-7456-9564 blake_hossack@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7456-9564","contributorId":1177,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Hossack","given":"Blake","email":"blake_hossack@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"R.","affiliations":[{"id":481,"text":"Northern Rocky Mountain Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":291,"text":"Fort Collins Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":522747,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Lowe, Winsor H.","contributorId":126722,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Lowe","given":"Winsor","email":"","middleInitial":"H.","affiliations":[{"id":6577,"text":"University of Montana, Division of Biological Sciences, Missoula, MT, 59812, USA.","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":522749,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3}]}}

Those variations are a source of uncertainty in the assignment of standard properties for Ar, but they provide useful information in many areas of science. Variations in the stable isotopic composition and atomic weight of Ar are caused by several different processes, including (1) isotope production from other elements by radioactive decay (radiogenic isotopes) or other nuclear transformations (e.g., nucleogenic isotopes), and (2) isotopic fractionation by physical-chemical processes such as diffusion or phase equilibria.

While atmospheric Ar can serve as an abundant and homogeneous isotopic reference, deviations from the atmospheric isotopic ratios in other Ar occurrences limit the precision with which a standard atomic weight can be given for Ar.

We created predictive distribution models, using Maxent, for three highly invasive plant species (Canada thistle, white sweetclover, and reed canarygrass) in Alaska at both a regional scale and a local scale. Regional scale models encompassed southern coastal Alaska and were developed from topographic and climatic data at a 2&nbsp;km (1.2&nbsp;mi) spatial resolution. Models were applied to future climate (2030). Local scale models were spatially nested within the regional area; these models incorporated physiographic and anthropogenic variables at a 30&nbsp;m (98.4&nbsp;ft) resolution. Regional and local models performed well (AUC values &gt; 0.7), with the exception of one species at each spatial scale. Regional models predict an increase in area of suitable habitat for all species by 2030 with a general shift to higher elevation areas; however, the distribution of each species was driven by different climate and topographical variables. In contrast local models indicate that distance to right-of-ways and elevation are associated with habitat suitability for all three species at this spatial level. Combining results from regional models, capturing long-term distribution, and local models, capturing near-term establishment and distribution, offers a new and effective tool for highlighting at-risk areas and provides insight on how variables acting at different scales contribute to suitability predictions. The combinations also provides easy comparison, highlighting agreement between the two scales, where long-term distribution factors predict suitability while near-term do not and vice versa.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Weed Science Society of America","doi":"10.1614/IPSM-D-13-00071.1","usgsCitation":"Jarnevich, C.S., Holcombe, T.R., Bell, E., Carlson, M.L.,

These two dominant species were analyzed separately, and changes in their structure indicated changes in the forest&rsquo;s health. There was a significant increase in māmane minimum crown height (indicating a higher ungulate &ldquo;browse line&rdquo;), canopy area, canopy volume, percentage of trees with ungulate damage, and percentage of dead trees. No significant changes were observed in māmane maximum crown height, proportion of plots with trees, sapling density, proportion of plots with saplings, or the height distribution of trees. The only significant positive change was for māmane tree density. Significantly negative changes were observed for naio minimum crown height, tree height, canopy area, canopy volume, and percentage of dead trees. No significant changes were observed in naio tree density, proportion of plots with trees, proportion of plots with saplings, or percentage of trees with ungulate damage. Significantly positive changes were observed in naio sapling density and the height distribution of trees. There was also a significant increase in the proportion of māmane vs. naio trees in the survey area. The survey methods did not allow us to distinguish among potential factors driving these changes for metrics other than the percentage of trees with ungulate damage. Continued ungulate browsing and prolonged drought are likely the factors contributing most to the observed changes in vegetation, but tree disease or insect infestation of māmane, or naio, and competition from alien grasses and other weeds could also be causing or exacerbating the impacts to the forest. Although māmane tree density has increased since 2000, this study also demonstrates that efforts by managers to remove sheep (Ovis spp.) from Palila Critical Habitat have not overcome the ability of sheep to continue to damage māmane trees and impede restoration of the vegetation.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"University of Hawaii at Hilo","publisherLocation":"Hilo, HI","usgsCitation":"Banko, P.C., and Brinck, K., 2014, Changes in Mauna Kea Dry Forest Structure 2000-2014: Technical Report HCSU-054, iii, 20.","productDescription":"iii, 20","onlineOnly":"N","additionalOnlineFiles":"N","ipdsId":"IP-060015","costCenters":[{"id":521,"text":"Pacific Island Ecosystems Research Center","active":false,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":312025,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":299179,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://hilo.hawaii.edu/hcsu/documents/TR54_Brinck_MK_dry_forest_final.pdf"}],"country":"United States","state":"Hawaii","otherGeospatial":"Mauna Kea","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -155.5059814453125,\n              19.910737914667816\n            ],\n            [\n              -155.38650512695312,\n              19.893951403349416\n            ],\n            [\n              -155.36109924316406,\n              19.8306631804481\n            ],\n            [\n              -155.4187774658203,\n              19.744085416705015\n            ],\n            [\n              -155.4970550537109,\n              19.72469589267184\n            ],\n            [\n              -155.61721801757812,\n              19.78285739839342\n            ],\n            [\n              -155.6371307373047,\n              19.806762085139233\n            ],\n            [\n              -155.63644409179688,\n              19.84422706794513\n            ],\n            [\n              -155.56846618652344,\n              19.8616646491284\n            ],\n            [\n              -155.51010131835938,\n              19.90492740071686\n            ],\n            [\n              -155.5059814453125,\n              19.910737914667816\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":14,"text":"Menlo Park PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5666bbcae4b06a3ea36c8b08","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Banko, Paul C. 0000-0002-6035-9803 pbanko@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6035-9803","contributorId":3179,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Banko","given":"Paul","email":"pbanko@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"C.","affiliations":[{"id":5049,"text":"Pacific Islands Ecosys Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":521,"text":"Pacific Island Ecosystems Research Center","active":false,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":543747,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Brinck, Kevin W. 0000-0001-7581-2482 kbrinck@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7581-2482","contributorId":3847,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Brinck","given":"Kevin W.","email":"kbrinck@usgs.gov","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":543748,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}}

Currently, the National Institute for Standards and Technology Standard Reference Material samples of asbestos are listed as &lsquo;Discontinued&rsquo;. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) has a goal under the Asbestos Roadmap of locating and characterizing research materials for future use. Where an initial characterization analysis determines that a collected material is appropriate for use as a research material in terms of composition and asbestiform habit, sufficient amounts of the material will be collected to make it publicly available. An abandoned mine near Lone Pine, California, contains a vein of tremolite asbestos, which was the probable source of a reference material that has been available for the past 17 years from the Health and Safety Laboratory (HSL) in the UK. Newly collected fibrous vein material from this mine was analyzed at Research Triangle Institute (RTI International) with some additional analysis by the US Geological Survey&rsquo;s Denver Microbeam Laboratory. The analysis at RTI International included: (i) polarized light microscopy (PLM) with a determination of principal optical properties; (ii) X-ray diffraction; (iii) transmission electron microscopy, including energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and selected-area electron diffraction; and (iv) spindle stage analysis using PLM to determine whether individual fibers and bundles of the samples were polycrystalline or single-crystal cleavage fragments. The overall findings of the study indicated that the material is tremolite asbestos with characteristics substantially similar to the earlier distributed HSL reference material. A larger quantity of material was prepared by sorting, acid-washing and mixing for sub-division into vials of ~10g each. These vials have been transferred from NIOSH to RTI International, from where they can be obtained on request.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"Oxford Journals","doi":"10.1093/annhyg/meu074","collaboration":"National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, RTI International","usgsCitation":"Harper, M., Van Gosen, B.S., Crankshaw, O.S., Doorn, S.S., Ennis, J.T., and Harrison, S.E., 2014, Characterization of Lone Pine, California, tremolite asbestos and preparation of research material: The Annals of Occupational Hygiene, v. 59, no. 1, p. 91-103, https://doi.org/10.1093/annhyg/meu074.","productDescription":"13 p.","startPage":"91","endPage":"103","onlineOnly":"N","additionalOnlineFiles":"N","ipdsId":"IP-055478","costCenters":[{"id":171,"text":"Central Mineral and Environmental Resources Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":472796,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1093/annhyg/meu074","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":298698,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"California","city":"Lone Pine","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -118.41064453125,\n              36.25313319699069\n            ],\n            [\n              -118.41064453125,\n              36.712467243386264\n            ],\n            [\n              -117.75146484375,\n              36.712467243386264\n            ],\n            [\n              -117.75146484375,\n              36.25313319699069\n            ],\n            [\n              -118.41064453125,\n              36.25313319699069\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"59","issue":"1","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2014-09-29","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"550aa1b2e4b02e76d7590bd6","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Harper, Martin","contributorId":127778,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Harper","given":"Martin","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":7150,"text":"NIOSH","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":526714,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Van Gosen, Bradley S. 0000-0003-4214-3811 bvangose@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4214-3811","contributorId":1174,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Van Gosen","given":"Bradley","email":"bvangose@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"S.","affiliations":[{"id":387,"text":"Mineral Resources Program","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":171,"text":"Central Mineral and Environmental Resources Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":526713,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Crankshaw, Owen S","contributorId":127779,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Crankshaw","given":"Owen","email":"","middleInitial":"S","affiliations":[{"id":7151,"text":"RTI International","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":526715,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Doorn, Stacy S","contributorId":127780,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Doorn","given":"Stacy","email":"","middleInitial":"S","affiliations":[{"id":7151,"text":"RTI International","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":526716,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Ennis, J.

Surf scoters (</span><i>Melanitta perspicillata</i><span>) and white-winged scoters (</span><i>M. fusca</i><span>) undergo simultaneous remigial molt during which they are flightless for &gt;1 month. Molt could result in reduced survival due to increased predation risk or increased energetic demands associated with regrowing flight feathers. Waterfowl survival during remigial molt varies across species, and has rarely been assessed for sea ducks. To quantify survival during remigial molt, we deployed very high frequency (VHF) transmitters on surf scoters (</span><i>n</i><span>&thinsp;=&thinsp;108) and white-winged scoters (</span><i>n</i><span>&thinsp;=&thinsp;57) in southeast Alaska and the Salish Sea (British Columbia and Washington) in 2008 and 2009. After censoring mortalities potentially related to capture and handling effects, we detected no mortalities during remigial molt; thus, estimates of daily and period survival for both scoter species during molt were 1.00. We performed sensitivity analyses in which mortalities were added to the dataset to simulate potential mortality rates for the population and then estimated the probability of obtaining a dataset with 0 mortalities. We found that only at high survival rates was there a high probability of observing 0 mortalities. We conclude that remigial molt is normally a period of low mortality in the annual cycle of scoters.

However, existing models are based on vital rate estimates calculated using relatively small data sets that are now more than a decade old. We estimated more current, precise adult and juvenile apparent survival (&Phi;) probabilities and their associated variances for male GCWAs. In addition to providing estimates for use in population modeling, we tested hypotheses about spatial and temporal variation in &Phi;. We assessed whether a linear trend in &Phi; or a change in the overall mean &Phi; corresponded to an observed increase in GCWA abundance during 1992-2000 and if &Phi; varied among study plots. To accomplish these objectives, we analyzed long-term GCWA capture-resight data from 1992 through 2011, collected across seven study plots on the Fort Hood Military Reservation using a Cormack-Jolly-Seber model structure within program MARK. We also estimated &Phi; process and sampling variances using a variance-components approach. Our results did not provide evidence of site-specific variation in adult &Phi; on the installation. Because of a lack of data, we could not assess whether juvenile &Phi; varied spatially. We did not detect a strong temporal association between GCWA abundance and &Phi;. Mean estimates of &Phi; for adult and juvenile male GCWAs for all years analyzed were 0.47 with a process variance of 0.0120 and a sampling variance of 0.0113 and 0.28 with a process variance of 0.0076 and a sampling variance of 0.0149, respectively. Although juvenile &Phi; did not differ greatly from previous estimates, our adult &Phi; estimate suggests previous GCWA population models were overly optimistic with respect to adult survival. These updated &Phi; probabilities and their associated variances will be incorporated into new population models to assist with GCWA conservation decision making.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"Resilience Alliance Publications","doi":"10.5751/ACE-00693-090204","usgsCitation":"Duarte, A., Hines, J., Nichols, J., Hatfield, J., and Weckerly, F.W., 2014, Age-specific survival of male golden-cheeked warblers on the Fort Hood Military Reservation, Texas: Avian Conservation and Ecology, v. 9, no. 2, 9 p., https://doi.org/10.5751/ACE-00693-090204.","productDescription":"9 p.","numberOfPages":"9","onlineOnly":"N","additionalOnlineFiles":"N","ipdsId":"IP-057174","costCenters":[{"id":531,"text":"Patuxent Wildlife Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":472792,"rank":2,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.5751/ace-00693-090204","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":296046,"rank":1,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Texas","otherGeospatial":"Fort Hood","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -97.87307739257812,\n              30.99291427996619\n            ],\n            [\n              -97.87307739257812,\n              31.34132223690837\n            ],\n            [\n              -97.47001647949219,\n              31.34132223690837\n            ],\n            [\n              -97.47001647949219,\n              30.99291427996619\n            ],\n            [\n              -97.87307739257812,\n              30.99291427996619\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"9","issue":"2","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5465d62ce4b04d4b7dbd6541","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Duarte, Adam","contributorId":28492,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Duarte","given":"Adam","affiliations":[{"id":6960,"text":"Department of Biology, Texas State University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":524961,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Hines, James E. jhines@usgs.gov","contributorId":3506,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Hines","given":"James E.","email":"jhines@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":531,"text":"Patuxent Wildlife Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":524960,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Nichols, James D. 0000-0002-7631-2890 jnichols@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7631-2890","contributorId":405,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Nichols","given":"James D.","email":"jnichols@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":531,"text":"Patuxent Wildlife Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":524962,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Hatfield, Jeffrey S. jhatfield@usgs.gov","contributorId":151,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Hatfield","given":"Jeffrey S.","email":"jhatfield@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":531,"text":"Patuxent Wildlife Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":524963,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Weckerly, Floyd W.","contributorId":10298,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Weckerly","given":"Floyd","email":"","middleInitial":"W.","affiliations":[{"id":6960,"text":"Department of Biology, Texas State University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":524964,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5}]}}

Physicist Lyman J.

Briggs&rsquo;s unfinished manuscript implies that liquid under negative pressure generates stress, which, superimposed on the stress generated from the flower&rsquo;s growth habit, results in force adequate to propel the pollen as observed.

Comparison of these demographic histories can shed light on community responses to past climatic events. However, species experience different rates of molecular evolution, and this presents a major obstacle to comparative demographic analyses. We address this problem by using a Bayesian relaxed-clock method to estimate the relative evolutionary rates of 22 small mammal taxa distributed across northwestern North America. We found that estimates of the relative molecular substitution rate for each taxon were consistent across the range of sampling schemes that we compared. Using three different reference rates, we rescaled the relative rates so that they could be used to estimate absolute evolutionary timescales. Accounting for rate variation among taxa led to temporal shifts in our skyline-plot estimates of demographic history, highlighting both uniform and idiosyncratic evolutionary responses to directional climate trends for distinct ecological subsets of the small mammal community. Our approach can be used in evolutionary analyses of populations from multiple species, including comparative demographic studies.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Wiley-Blackwell Publishing Ltd.","doi":"10.1111/evo.12469","usgsCitation":"Hope, A.G., Ho, S.Y., Malaney, J.L., Cook, J.A., and Talbot, S.L., 2014, Accounting for rate variation among lineages in comparative demographic analyses: Evolution, v. 68, no. 9, p. 2689-2700, https://doi.org/10.1111/evo.12469.","productDescription":"12 p.","startPage":"2689","endPage":"2700","numberOfPages":"12","onlineOnly":"N","additionalOnlineFiles":"N","ipdsId":"IP-052138","costCenters":[{"id":117,"text":"Alaska Science Center Biology WTEB","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":299947,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"68","issue":"9","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":12,"text":"Tacoma PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2014-07-21","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"554200b6e4b0a658d793b2a7","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Hope, Andrew G. 0000-0003-3814-2891 ahope@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3814-2891","contributorId":4309,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Hope","given":"Andrew","email":"ahope@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"G.","affiliations":[{"id":117,"text":"Alaska Science Center Biology WTEB","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":545740,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Ho, Simon Y.

We applied a mixed-model approach to partition variability in data for 30 forest health indicators collected from several national parks in the eastern United States. We then used the estimated variance components in a simulation model to evaluate trend detection capabilities for each indicator. We investigated the extent to which the following factors affected ability to detect trends: (a) sample design: using simple panel versus connected panel design, (b) effect size: increasing trend magnitude, (c) sample size: varying the number of plots sampled each year, and (d) stratified sampling: post-stratifying plots into vegetation domains. Statistical power varied among indicators; however, indicators that measured the proportion of a total yielded higher power when compared to indicators that measured absolute or average values. In addition, the total variability for an indicator appeared to influence power to detect temporal trends more than how total variance was partitioned among spatial and temporal sources.

Because nutritional status directly impacts overall health and reproduction of individuals and populations, adequate management of a wildlife population requires intimate knowledge of a species' diet and nutrient requirements. Fat-soluble vitamin concentrations in blood plasma obtained from American oystercatchers and proximate, vitamin, and mineral composition of various oystercatcher prey species were determined as baseline data to assess nutritional status and nutrient supply. Bird and prey species samples were collected from the Cape Romain region, South Carolina, USA, and the Altamaha River delta islands, Georgia, USA, where breeding populations appear relatively stable in recent years. Vitamin A levels in blood samples were higher than ranges reported as normal for domestic avian species, and vitamin D concentrations were lower than anticipated based on values observed in poultry. Vitamin E levels were within ranges previously reported for avian groups with broadly similar feeding niches such as herons, gulls, and terns (eg, aquatic/estuarine/marine). Prey species (oysters, mussels, clams, blood arks [</span><i>Anadara ovalis</i><span>], whelks [</span><i><i>Busycon carica</i></i><span>], false angel wings [</span><i><i>Petricola pholadiformis</i></i><span>]) were similar in water content to vertebrate prey, moderate to high in protein, and moderate to low in crude fat. Ash and macronutrient concentrations in prey species were high compared with requirements of carnivores or avian species. Prey items analyzed appear to meet nutritional requirements for oystercatchers, as estimated by extrapolation from domestic carnivores and poultry species; excesses, imbalances, and toxicities&mdash;particularly of minerals and fat-soluble vitamins&mdash;may warrant further investigation.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Association of Avian Veterinarians","doi":"10.1647/2013-033","usgsCitation":"Carlson-Bremer, D., Norton, T., Sanders, F.J., Winn, B., Spinks, M.D., Glatt, B.A., Mazzaro, L., Jodice, P.G., Chen, T.C., and Dierenfeld, E.S., 2014, Circulating fat-soluble vitamin concentrations and nutrient composition of aquatic prey eaten by American oystercatchers (<i>Haematopus palliatus</i>) in the southeastern United States: Journal of Avian Medicine and Surgery, v. 28, no. 3, p. 216-224, https://doi.org/10.1647/2013-033.","productDescription":"9 p.","startPage":"216","endPage":"224","onlineOnly":"N","additionalOnlineFiles":"N","ipdsId":"IP-033674","costCenters":[{"id":198,"text":"Coop Res Unit Atlanta","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":305895,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Georgia, South Carolina","otherGeospatial":"Cape Romain;

The percent of successful nests (</span><i>n</i><span>&nbsp; =  346 nests) ranged from 42&ndash;69% among colony sites when data were pooled across both years. The DSR of nests was primarily related to colony site, predation risk, height of high tide, and clutch size. Predation and overwash were the principal causes of identifiable nest loss, each accounting for &sim;33% of nest failures during the two study years. Because of the challenges of resighting skimmer chicks, we were not able to measure chick survival effectively and therefore accurate measures of productivity remain elusive. High variability in nest success among sites within close proximity to each other (&lt;20&nbsp;km) suggests factors at local scales such as disturbance, predation, and overwash events strongly influenced nest success of Black Skimmers during these 2&nbsp;years as opposed to more region-wide stressors such as tropical storms or food availability. Although time-intensive techniques to control predators do exist, management options to limit flooding and overwash are far more limited. Conservation of Black Skimmers in the southeastern USA would benefit from coordinated, multi-state efforts to measure nest and chick survival.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"The Wilson Ornithological Society","doi":"10.1676/13-136.1","usgsCitation":"Brooks, G.L., Sanders, F.J., Gerard, P., and Jodice, P.G., 2014, Daily survival rates for nests of Black Skimmers from a core breeding area of the Southeastern USA: Wilson Journal of Ornithology, v. 126, no. 3, p. 443-450, https://doi.org/10.1676/13-136.1.","productDescription":"8 p.","startPage":"443","endPage":"450","onlineOnly":"N","additionalOnlineFiles":"N","ipdsId":"IP-050848","costCenters":[{"id":198,"text":"Coop Res Unit Atlanta","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":305894,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"South Carolina","otherGeospatial":"Cape Romain National Wildlife Refuge","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -79.53105926513672,\n              33.00779977111022\n            ],\n            [\n              -79.53105926513672,\n              33.08550099414926\n            ],\n            [\n              -79.32334899902342,\n              33.08550099414926\n            ],\n            [\n              -79.32334899902342,\n              33.00779977111022\n            ],\n            [\n              -79.53105926513672,\n              33.00779977111022\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"126","issue":"3","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":8,"text":"Raleigh PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"55b0beabe4b09a3b01b53089","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Brooks, Gillian L.","contributorId":31033,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Brooks","given":"Gillian","email":"","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":565309,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Sanders, Felicia J.","contributorId":56574,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Sanders","given":"Felicia","email":"","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[{"id":35670,"text":"South Carolina Department of Natural Resources","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":565310,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Gerard, Patrick D.","contributorId":140181,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Gerard","given":"Patrick D.","affiliations":[{"id":7084,"text":"Clemson University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":565311,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Jodice, Patrick G.R. 0000-0001-8716-120X pjodice@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8716-120X","contributorId":1119,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Jodice","given":"Patrick","email":"pjodice@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"G.R.","affiliations":[{"id":198,"text":"Coop Res Unit Atlanta","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":564465,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4}]}}

Resistivity tomography models derived from these data image lithospheric structure and provide constraints on the distribution of fluids and melt within the lithosphere. We present a three-dimensional resistivity model of the northwestern United States which provides new insight into the tectonic assembly of western North America from the Archean to present. Comparison with seismic tomography models reveals regions of correlated and anti-correlated resistivity and velocity that help identify thermal and compositional variations within the lithosphere. Recent (Neogene) tectonic features reflected in the model include the subducting Juan de Fuca–Gorda plate which can be traced beneath the forearc to more than 100 km depth, high lithospheric conductivity along the Snake River Plain, and pronounced lower-crustal and upper-mantle conductivity beneath the Basin and Range. The latter is abruptly terminated to the northwest by the Klamath–Blue Mountains Lineament, which we interpret as an important structure during and since the Mesozoic assembly of the region. This boundary is interpreted to separate hot extended lithosphere from colder, less extended lithosphere.

Finally, in the modern Cascades forearc, the geometry and internal structure of the Eocene Siletz terrane is reflected in the resistivity model. The apparent eastern edge of the Siletz terrane under the Cascades arc suggests that pre-Tertiary rocks fill the Washington and Oregon back-arc.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Elsevier","doi":"10.1016/j.epsl.2013.07.035","usgsCitation":"Bedrosian, P.A., and Feucht, D.W., 2014, Structure and tectonics of the northwestern United States from EarthScope USArray magnetotelluric data: Earth and Planetary Science Letters, v. 402, p. 275-289, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.epsl.2013.07.035.","productDescription":"15 p.","startPage":"275","endPage":"289","ipdsId":"IP-049294","costCenters":[{"id":211,"text":"Crustal Geophysics and Geochemistry Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":343165,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -125.3759765625,\n              35.639441068973944\n            ],\n            [\n              -105,\n              35.639441068973944\n            ],\n            [\n              -105,\n              49.009050809382046\n            ],\n            [\n              -125.3759765625,\n              49.009050809382046\n            ],\n            [\n              -125.3759765625,\n              35.639441068973944\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"402","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":2,"text":"Denver PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"595611c0e4b0d1f9f0506798","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Bedrosian, Paul A. 0000-0002-6786-1038 pbedrosian@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6786-1038","contributorId":839,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Bedrosian","given":"Paul","email":"pbedrosian@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[{"id":312,"text":"Geology, Minerals, Energy, and Geophysics Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":211,"text":"Crustal Geophysics and Geochemistry Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":702835,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Feucht, Daniel W. dfeucht@usgs.gov","contributorId":5022,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Feucht","given":"Daniel","email":"dfeucht@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"W.","affiliations":[{"id":211,"text":"Crustal Geophysics and Geochemistry Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":702836,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}}

To the west, thermal maturity continues to increase even as the Aptian section shallows structurally on the Adams County High (R<sub>o</sub> range 1.4 to &gt; 1.8%). After evaluating the possible thermal agents responsible for increasing maturity at shallower depths (i.e., igneous activity, proximity to salt, variations in regional heat flux, and uplift), we tentatively propose that either greater paleoheat flow or deeper burial coupled with uplift in the western part of the MISB could be responsible for the thermal maturity anomaly. Further research and additional data are needed to determine the cause(s) of the thermal

Unfortunately, land use and management legacies can constrain the structure of biotic communities such that they fail to reflect habitat quality. The purpose of this study was to describe patterns in fish and benthic macroinvertebrate assemblage structure, and evaluate relationships between biota and habitat characteristics in the Chariton River system of south-central Iowa, a system likely influenced by various potential management legacies (e.g., dams, chemical removal of fishes). We sampled fishes, benthic macroinvertebrates, and physical habitat from a total of 38 stream reaches in the Chariton River watershed during 2002–2005. Fish and benthic macroinvertebrate assemblages were dominated by generalist species tolerant of poor habitat quality; assemblages failed to show any apparent patterns with regard to stream size or longitudinal location within the watershed. Metrics used to summarize fish assemblages and populations [e.g., presence–absence, relative abundance, Index of Biotic Integrity for fish (IBI</span><sub>F</sub><span>)] were not related to habitat characteristics, except that catch rates of piscivores were positively related to the depth and the amount of large wood. In contrast, family richness of benthic macroinvertebrates, richness of Ephemeroptera, Trichoptera, and Plecoptera taxa, and IBI values for benthic macroinvertebrates (IBI</span><sub>BM</sub><span>) were positively correlated with the amount of overhanging vegetation and inversely related to the percentage of fine substrate. A long history of habitat alteration by row-crop agriculture and management legacies associated with reservoir construction has likely resulted in a fish assemblage dominated by tolerant species. Intolerant and sensitive fish species have not recolonized streams due to downstream movement barriers (i.e., dams). In contrast, aquatic insect assemblages reflected aquatic habitat, particularly the amount of overhanging vegetation and fine sediment. This research illustrates the importance of using multiple taxa for biological assessments and the need to consider management legacies when investigating responses to management and conservation actions.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Springer","doi":"10.1007/s00267-014-0309-8","usgsCitation":"Quist, M.C., and Schultz, R.D., 2014, Effects of management legacies on stream fish and aquatic benthic macroinvertebrate assemblages: Environmental Management, v. 54, no. 3, p. 449-464, https://doi.org/10.1007/s00267-014-0309-8.","productDescription":"16 p.","startPage":"449","endPage":"464","ipdsId":"IP-049474","costCenters":[{"id":200,"text":"Coop Res Unit Seattle","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":348402,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Iowa","otherGeospatial":"Chariton River Basin","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -93.59664916992188,\n              40.58371360068533\n            ],\n            [\n              -93.00888061523438,\n              40.58371360068533\n            ],\n            [\n              -93.00888061523438,\n              41.036894775104436\n            ],\n            [\n              -93.59664916992188,\n              41.036894775104436\n            ],\n            [\n              -93.59664916992188,\n              40.58371360068533\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"54","issue":"3","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":12,"text":"Tacoma PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2014-07-01","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5a07ed09e4b09af898c8cd3c","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Quist, Michael C. 0000-0001-8268-1839 mquist@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8268-1839","contributorId":171392,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Quist","given":"Michael","email":"mquist@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"C.","affiliations":[{"id":200,"text":"Coop Res Unit Seattle","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":717315,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Schultz, Randall D.","contributorId":200100,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Schultz","given":"Randall","email":"","middleInitial":"D.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":720992,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}}

In the interim, concern has grown over the potential impact of predation by double-crested cormorants on juvenile salmonids (</span><i>Oncorhynchus</i><span>spp.), particularly in the Columbia Basin and along the Pacific coast where some salmonids are listed for protection under the United States Endangered Species Act. Recent re-evaluations of double-crested cormorant management at the local, flyway, and federal level warrant further examination of the current population size and trends in western North America. We collected colony size data for the western population (British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, and the portions of Montana, Wyoming, Colorado and New Mexico west of the Continental Divide) by conducting aircraft-, boat-, or ground-based surveys and by cooperating with government agencies, universities, and non-profit organizations. In 2009, we estimated approximately 31,200 breeding pairs in the western population. We estimated that cormorant numbers in the Pacific Region (British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, and California) increased 72% from 1987&ndash;1992 to circa 2009. Based on the best available data for this period, the average annual growth rate (&lambda;) of the number of breeding birds in the Pacific Region was 1.03, versus 1.07 for the population east of the Continental Divide during recent decades. Most of the increase in the Pacific Region can be attributed to an increase in the size of the nesting colony on East Sand Island in the Columbia River estuary, which accounts for about 39% of all breeding pairs in the western population and is the largest known breeding colony for the species (12,087 breeding pairs estimated in 2009). In contrast, numbers of breeding pairs estimated in coastal British Columbia and Washington have declined by approximately 66% during this same period. Disturbance at breeding colonies by bald eagles (</span><i>Haliaeetus leucocephalus</i><span>) and humans are likely limiting factors on the growth of the western population at present. Because of differences in biology and management, the western population of double-crested cormorants warrants consideration as a separate management unit from the population east of the Continental Divide.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Wiley","doi":"10.1002/jwmg.737","usgsCitation":"Adkins, J.Y., Roby, D.D., Lyons, D., Courtot, K., Collis, K., Carter, H., Shuford, W.D., and Capitolo, P.J., 2014, Recent population size, trends, and limiting factors for the double-crested Cormorant in Western North America: Journal of Wildlife Management, v. 78, no. 7, p. 1131-1142, https://doi.org/10.1002/jwmg.737.","productDescription":"12 p.","startPage":"1131","endPage":"1142","onlineOnly":"N","additionalOnlineFiles":"N","ipdsId":"IP-040850","costCenters":[{"id":200,"text":"Coop Res Unit Seattle","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":323605,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"78","issue":"7","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":12,"text":"Tacoma PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2014-06-07","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"57612ab3e4b04f417c2ce4bf","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Adkins, Jessica Y.","contributorId":171820,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Adkins","given":"Jessica","email":"","middleInitial":"Y.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":638785,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Roby, Daniel D. 0000-0001-9844-0992 droby@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9844-0992","contributorId":3702,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Roby","given":"Daniel","email":"droby@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"D.","affiliations":[{"id":200,"text":"Coop Res Unit Seattle","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":637267,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Lyons, Donald E.","contributorId":20119,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Lyons","given":"Donald E.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":638786,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Courtot, Karen N.","contributorId":26909,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Courtot","given":"Karen N.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":638787,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Collis, Ken","contributorId":149991,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Collis","given":"Ken","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":17879,"text":"Real Time Research, Inc., 231 SW Scalehouse Loop, Suite 101, Bend, OR 97702","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":638788,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Carter, Harry R.","contributorId":79546,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Carter","given":"Harry R.","affiliations":[{"id":480,"text":"Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":638789,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6},{"text":"Shuford, W.

The area mapped is approximately 50&nbsp;km long by 8&nbsp;km wide, extending from Moriches Inlet to Fire Island Inlet in water depths ranging from 8 to 32&nbsp;m. The morphology of this inner-continental shelf region and modern sediment distribution patterns are determined by erosion of Pleistocene glaciofluvial sediments during the ongoing Holocene marine transgression; much of the shelf is thus an actively forming ravinement surface. Remnants of a Pleistocene outwash lobe define a submerged headland offshore of central Fire Island. East of the submerged headland, relatively older Pleistocene outwash is exposed over much of the inner-continental shelf and covered by asymmetric, sorted bedforms interpreted to indicate erosion and westward transport of reworked sediment. Erosion of the eastern flank of the submerged Pleistocene headland over the last ~&nbsp;8000&nbsp;years yielded an abundance of modern sand that was transported westward and reworked into a field of shoreface-attached ridges offshore of western Fire Island. West of the submerged headland, erosion of Pleistocene outwash continues in troughs between the sand ridges, resulting in modification of the lower shoreface. Comparison of the modern sand ridge morphology with the morphology of the underlying ravinement surface suggests that the sand ridges have moved a minimum of ~&nbsp;1000&nbsp;m westward since formation. Comparison of modern sediment thickness mapped in 1996–1997 and 2011 allows speculation that the nearshore/shoreface sedimentary deposit has gained sediment at the expense of deflation of the sand ridges.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Elsevier","doi":"10.1016/j.margeo.2014.06.011","usgsCitation":"Schwab, W.C., Baldwin, W.E., Denny, J.F., Hapke, C.J., Gayes, P.T., List, J.H., and

However, it is unclear (1) how well the conceptually different approaches can simulate observed decomposition and (2) to what extent the trajectories of long-term simulations differ when using the different approaches. In this study, we compared three structurally different soil carbon (C) decomposition models (one Q10 and two microbial models of different complexity), each with a one- and two-horizon version. The models were calibrated and validated using 4 years of measurements of heterotrophic soil CO</span><span>2</span><span>&nbsp;efflux from trenched plots in a Dahurian larch (</span><i>Larix gmelinii</i><span>&nbsp;Rupr.) plantation. All models reproduced the observed heterotrophic component of soil CO</span><span>2</span><span>&nbsp;efflux, but the trajectories of soil carbon dynamics differed substantially in 100 year simulations with and without warming and increased litterfall input, with microbial models that produced better agreement with observed changes in soil organic C in long-term warming experiments. Our results also suggest that both constant and varying carbon use efficiency are plausible when modeling future decomposition dynamics and that the use of a short-term (e.g., a few years) period of measurement is insufficient to adequately constrain model parameters that represent long-term responses of microbial thermal adaption. These results highlight the need to reframe the representation of decomposition models and to constrain parameters with long-term observations and multiple data streams. We urge caution in interpreting future soil carbon responses derived from existing decomposition models because both conceptual and parameter uncertainties are substantial.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Wiley","doi":"10.1002/2014JG002701","usgsCitation":"He, Y., Yang, J., Zhuang, Q., McGuire, A.D., Zhu, Q., Liu, Y., and Teskey, R.O., 2014, Uncertainty in the fate of soil organic carbon: A comparison of three conceptually different soil decomposition models: Journal of Geophysical Research G: Biogeosciences, v. 119, no. 9, p. 1892-1905, https://doi.org/10.1002/2014JG002701.","productDescription":"14 p.","startPage":"1892","endPage":"1905","onlineOnly":"N","additionalOnlineFiles":"N","ipdsId":"IP-055662","costCenters":[{"id":200,"text":"Coop Res Unit Seattle","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":319372,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"119","issue":"9","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":12,"text":"Tacoma PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2014-09-18","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"56f50fd4e4b0f59b85e1ebfb","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"He, Yujie","contributorId":32444,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"He","given":"Yujie","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":623771,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Yang, Jinyan","contributorId":166929,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Yang","given":"Jinyan","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":623772,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Zhuang, Qianlai","contributorId":101975,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Zhuang","given":"Qianlai","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":623773,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"McGuire, A.
