However, few studies have been able to characterize hyporheic fluxes and residence time distributions (RTDs) over timescales of days to years, during which evapotranspiration (ET) and seasonal flood pulses create unsteady forcing. Here we present a data-driven, particle-tracking piston model that characterizes hyporheic fluxes and RTDs based on measured vertical head differences. We used the model to test the relative influence of ET and seasonal flood pulses in the Everglades (FL, USA), in a manner applicable to other low-energy floodplains or broad, shallow streams. We found that over the multiyear timescale, flood pulses that drive relatively deep (∼1 m) flow paths had the dominant influence on hyporheic fluxes and residence times but that ET effects were discernible at shorter timescales (weeks to months) as a break in RTDs. Cumulative RTDs on either side of the break were generally well represented by lognormal functions, except for when ET was strong and none of the standard distributions applied to the shorter timescale. At the monthly timescale, ET increased hyporheic fluxes by 1–2 orders of magnitude; it also decreased 6 year mean residence times by 53–87%. Long, slow flow paths driven by flood pulses increased 6 year hyporheic fluxes by another 1–2 orders of magnitude, to a level comparable to that induced over the short term by shear flow in streams. Results suggest that models of intermediate-timescale processes should include at least two-storage zones with different RTDs, and that supporting field data collection occur over 3–4 years.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Water Resources Research","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"Wiley","doi":"10.1002/2013WR014195","usgsCitation":"Larsen, L., Harvey, J.W., and Maglio, M.M., 2014, Dynamic hyporheic exchange at intermediate timescales: testing the relative importance of evapotranspiration and flood pulses: Water Resources Research, v. 50, no. 1, p. 318-335, https://doi.org/10.1002/2013WR014195.","productDescription":"18 p.","startPage":"318","endPage":"335","ipdsId":"IP-052076","costCenters":[{"id":436,"text":"National Research Program - Eastern Branch","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":473134,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/2013wr014195","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":283831,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":283701,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.1002/2013WR014195"},{"id":283702,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/2013WR014195/abstract"}],"country":"United States","state":"Florida","otherGeospatial":"Everglades","geographicExtents":"{ \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\", \"features\": [ { \"type\": \"Feature\", \"properties\": {}, \"geometry\": { \"type\": \"Polygon\", \"coordinates\": [ [ [ -81,5.555555555555556E-4 ], [ -81,5.555555555555556E-4 ], [ -80,5.555555555555556E-4 ], [ -80,5.555555555555556E-4 ], [ -81,5.555555555555556E-4 ] ] ] } } ] }","volume":"50","issue":"1","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2014-01-15","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"53517034e4b05569d805a1cf","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Larsen, Laurel G.","contributorId":42111,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Larsen","given":"Laurel G.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":491416,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Harvey, Judson W. 0000-0002-2654-9873 jwharvey@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2654-9873","contributorId":1796,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Harvey","given":"Judson","email":"jwharvey@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"W.","affiliations":[{"id":436,"text":"National Research Program - Eastern Branch","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":491414,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Maglio, Morgan M. mmaglio@usgs.gov","contributorId":3991,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Maglio","given":"Morgan","email":"mmaglio@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[{"id":436,"text":"National Research Program - Eastern Branch","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":677,"text":"Wisconsin Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":491415,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3}]}} ,{"id":70103397,"text":"70103397 - 2014 - Geospatial optimization of siting large-scale solar projects","interactions":[],"lastModifiedDate":"2014-05-27T11:50:03","indexId":"70103397","displayToPublicDate":"2014-03-01T11:42:00","publicationYear":"2014","noYear":false,"publicationType":{"id":18,"text":"Report"},"publicationSubtype":{"id":1,"text":"Federal Government Series"},"seriesTitle":{"id":91,"text":"Technical Report","active":true,"publicationSubtype":{"id":1}},"seriesNumber":"NREL/TP-6A50-61375","title":"Geospatial optimization of siting large-scale solar projects","docAbstract":"Recent policy and economic conditions have encouraged a renewed interest in developing large-scale solar projects in the U.S. Southwest.

Watershed Best Management Practices (BMPs) are often designed to reduce loading from particle-borne contaminants, but the temporal lag between BMP implementation and improvement in receiving water quality is difficult to assess because particles are only moved downstream episodically, resting for long periods in storage between transport events. A theory is developed that describes the downstream movement of suspended sediment particles accounting for the time particles spend in storage given sediment budget data (by grain size fraction) and information on particle transit times through storage reservoirs. The theory is used to define a suspended sediment transport length scale that describes how far particles are carried during transport events, and to estimate a downstream particle velocity that includes time spent in storage. At 5 upland watersheds of the mid-Atlantic region, transport length scales for silt-clay range from 4 to 60 km, while those for sand range from 0.4 to 113 km. Mean sediment velocities for silt-clay range from 0.0072 km/yr to 0.12 km/yr, while those for sand range from 0.0008 km/yr to 0.20 km/yr, 4–6 orders of magnitude slower than the velocity of water in the channel. These results suggest lag times of 100–1000 years between BMP implementation and effectiveness in receiving waters such as the Chesapeake Bay (where BMPs are located upstream of the characteristic transport length scale). Many particles likely travel much faster than these average values, so further research is needed to determine the complete distribution of suspended sediment velocities in real watersheds.

Toxic blooms of golden alga (GA, Prymnesium parvum) in Texas typically occur in winter or early spring. In North America, they were first reported in Texas in the 1980s, and a marked range expansion occurred in 2001. Although there is concern about the influence of climate change on the future distribution of GA, factors responsible for past dispersals remain uncertain. To better understand the factors that influence toxic bloom dispersal in reservoirs, this study characterized reservoir water quality associated with toxic GA blooms since 2001, and examined trends in water quality during a 20-year period bracketing the 2001 expansion. Archived data were analyzed for six impacted and six nonimpacted reservoirs from two major Texas basins: Brazos River and Colorado River. Data were simplified for analysis by pooling spatially (across sampling stations) and temporally (winter, December-February) within reservoirs and generating depth-corrected (1 m) monthly values. Classification tree analysis [period of record (POR), 2001-2010] using salinity-associated variables (specific conductance, chloride, sulfate), dissolved oxygen (DO), pH, temperature, total hardness, potassium, nitrate+nitrite, and total phosphorus indicated that salinity best predicts the toxic bloom occurrence. Minimum estimated salinities for toxic bloom formation were 0.59 and 1.02 psu in Brazos and Colorado River reservoirs, respectively. Principal component analysis (POR, 2001-2010) indicated that GA habitat is best defined by higher salinity relative to nonimpacted reservoirs, with winter DO and pH also being slightly higher and winter temperature slightly lower in impacted reservoirs. Trend analysis, however, did not reveal monotonic changes in winter water quality of GA-impacted reservoirs during the 20-year period (1991-2010) bracketing the 2001 dispersal. Therefore, whereas minimum levels of salinity are required for GA establishment and toxic blooms in Texas reservoirs, the lack of trends in water quality suggests that conditions favorable for toxic blooms pre-date the 2001 expansion. These observations are consistent with a climate change-independent scenario of past GA dispersals in Texas reservoirs driven by novel introductions into pre-existing favorable habitat. Reports of latent GA populations in certain nonimpacted reservoirs, however, provide a plausible scenario of future dispersals characterized by prolonged periods between colonization and toxic bloom development and driven by changes in water quality, natural, or anthropogenic.

The process for estimating NRV involves identifying spatial and temporal scales that adequately capture the heterogeneity of the ecosystem; compiling data for the attributes of interest via study of historic records, analysis and interpretation of proxy records, modeling, space-for-time substitutions, or analysis of long-term monitoring data; and quantifying the NRV from those data. At least 19 National Park Service (NPS) units in North America’s Great Plains are monitoring plant species richness and evenness as indicators of vegetation integrity in native grasslands, but little information on natural, temporal variability of these indicators is available. In this case study, we use six long-term vegetation monitoring datasets to quantify the temporal variability of these attributes in reference conditions for a variety of Great Plains grassland types, and then illustrate the implications of using different NRVs based on these quantities for setting management decision thresholds. Temporal variability of richness (as measured by the coefficient of variation, CV) is fairly consistent across the wide variety of conditions occurring in Colorado shortgrass prairie to Minnesota tallgrass sand savanna (CV 0.20–0.45) and generally less than that of production at the same sites. Temporal variability of evenness spans a greater range of CV than richness, and it is greater than that of production in some sites but less in other sites. This natural temporal variability may mask undesirable changes in Great Plains grasslands vegetation. Consequently, we suggest that managers consider using a relatively narrow NRV (interquartile range of all richness or evenness values observed in reference conditions) for designating a surveillance threshold, at which greater attention to the situation would be paid, and a broader NRV for designating management thresholds, at which action would be instigated.","largerWorkType":{"id":4,"text":"Book"},"largerWorkTitle":"Application of threshold concepts in natural resource decision making","language":"English","publisher":"Springer","doi":"10.1007/978-1-4899-8041-0_8","usgsCitation":"Symstad, A., and Jonas, J.L., 2014, Using natural range of variation to set decision thresholds: a case study for great plains grasslands, chap. of Application of threshold concepts in natural resource decision making, p. 131-156, https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4899-8041-0_8.","productDescription":"26 p.","startPage":"131","endPage":"156","ipdsId":"IP-034780","costCenters":[{"id":480,"text":"Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":285884,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"Canada, United States","geographicExtents":"{\n \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n \"features\": [\n {\n \"type\": \"Feature\",\n \"properties\": {},\n \"geometry\": {\n \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n \"coordinates\": [\n [\n [\n -113.115234375,\n 53.27835301753182\n ],\n [\n -113.53271484375,\n 53.396432127095984\n ],\n [\n -114.005126953125,\n 53.26521293124656\n ],\n [\n -114.521484375,\n 51.80861475198521\n ],\n [\n -115.04882812499999,\n 49.009050809382046\n ],\n [\n -112.19238281249999,\n 47.931066347509784\n ],\n [\n -109.599609375,\n 44.465151013519616\n ],\n [\n -107.09472656249999,\n 42.35854391749705\n ],\n [\n -106.5673828125,\n 38.788345355085625\n ],\n [\n -105.556640625,\n 35.10193405724606\n ],\n [\n -103.095703125,\n 32.36140331527543\n ],\n [\n -101.77734374999999,\n 31.240985378021307\n ],\n [\n -99.4482421875,\n 29.84064389983441\n ],\n [\n -98.3056640625,\n 30.29701788337205\n ],\n [\n -97.734375,\n 32.47269502206151\n ],\n [\n -95.5810546875,\n 35.17380831799959\n ],\n [\n -94.4384765625,\n 36.80928470205937\n ],\n [\n -91.23046875,\n 38.238180119798635\n ],\n [\n -89.2529296875,\n 39.13006024213511\n ],\n [\n -88.154296875,\n 40.212440718286466\n ],\n [\n -87.5390625,\n 40.713955826286046\n ],\n [\n -87.6708984375,\n 41.47566020027821\n ],\n [\n -88.72558593749999,\n 42.4234565179383\n ],\n [\n -90.04394531249999,\n 42.779275360241904\n ],\n [\n -91.58203125,\n 43.068887774169625\n ],\n [\n -93.8232421875,\n 43.929549935614595\n ],\n [\n -95.1416015625,\n 44.77793589631623\n ],\n [\n -95.712890625,\n 46.31658418182218\n ],\n [\n -96.2841796875,\n 48.80686346108517\n ],\n [\n -96.416015625,\n 49.095452162534826\n ],\n [\n -99.1845703125,\n 49.95121990866204\n ],\n [\n -102.39257812499999,\n 50.90303283111257\n ],\n [\n -107.57812499999999,\n 51.86292391360244\n ],\n [\n -113.115234375,\n 53.27835301753182\n ]\n ]\n ]\n }\n }\n ]\n}","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2014-02-08","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5351706ce4b05569d805a432","contributors":{"editors":[{"text":"Guntenspergen, Glenn R.","contributorId":113070,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Guntenspergen","given":"Glenn R.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":509795,"contributorType":{"id":2,"text":"Editors"},"rank":1}],"authors":[{"text":"Symstad, Amy J.","contributorId":11721,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Symstad","given":"Amy J.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":490192,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Jonas, Jayne L.","contributorId":22680,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Jonas","given":"Jayne","email":"","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":490193,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}} ,{"id":70115922,"text":"70115922 - 2014 - Distribution and transmission of the highly pathogenic parasite Ichthyophonus in marine fishes of Alaska","interactions":[],"lastModifiedDate":"2014-09-23T11:17:37","indexId":"70115922","displayToPublicDate":"2014-03-01T11:13:00","publicationYear":"2014","noYear":false,"publicationType":{"id":18,"text":"Report"},"publicationSubtype":{"id":3,"text":"Organization Series"},"title":"Distribution and transmission of the highly pathogenic parasite Ichthyophonus in marine fishes of Alaska","docAbstract":"A combination of field surveys, molecular typing, and laboratory experiments were used to improve our understanding of the distribution and transmission mechanisms of fish parasites in the genus Ichthyophonus. Ichthyophonus spp. infections were detected from the Bering Sea to the coast of Oregon in 10 of 13 host species surveyed. Sequences of rDNA extracted from these isolates indicate that a ubiquitous Ichthyophonus type occurs in the NE Pacific Ocean and Bering Sea and accounts for nearly all the infections encountered. Among NE Pacific isolates, only parasites from yellowtail rockfish and Puget Sound rockfish varied at the DNA locus examined. These data suggest that a single source population of these parasites is available to fishes in diverse niches across a wide geographic range. A direct life cycle within a common forage species could account for the relatively low parasite diversity we encountered. In the laboratory we tested the hypothesis that waterborne transmission occurs among Pacific herring, a common NE Pacific forage species. No horizontal transmission occurred during a four-month cohabitation experiment involving infected herring and conspecific sentinels.

Alpine and subalpine plant species are of special interest in ecology and ecophysiology because they represent life at the climate limit and changes in their relative abundances can be a bellwether for climate-change impacts.

\n
\n

Perennial life forms dominate alpine plant communities, and their form and function reflect various avoidance, tolerance, or resistance strategies to interactions of cold temperature, radiation, wind, and desiccation stresses that prevail in the short growing seasons common (but not ubiquitous) in alpine areas.

\n
\n

Plant microclimate is typically uncoupled from the harsh climate of the alpine, often leading to substantially warmer plant temperatures than air temperatures recorded by weather stations.

\n
\n

Low atmospheric pressure is the most pervasive, fundamental, and unifying factor for alpine environments, but the resulting decrease in partial pressure of CO2 does not significantly limit carbon gain by alpine plants.

\n
\n

Factors such as tree islands and topographic features create strong heterogeneous mosaics of microclimate and snow cover that are reflected in plant community composition.

\n
\n

Factors affecting tree establishment and growth and formation of treeline are key to understanding alpine ecology.

\n
\n

Carbohydrate and other carbon storage, rapid development in a short growing season, and physiological function at low temperature are prevailing attributes of alpine plants.

\n
\n

A major contemporary research theme asks whether chilling at alpine-treeline affects the ability of trees to assimilate the growth resources and particularly carbon needed for growth or whether the growth itself is limited by the alpine environment.

\n
\n

Alpine areas tend to be among the best conserved, globally, yet they are increasingly showing response to a range of anthropogenic impacts, such as atmospheric deposition.

The piping plover (Charadrius melodus) is a federally-listed shorebird that nests on barrier islands and rapidly responds to changes in its physical environment, making it an excellent species with which to model how shorebird species may respond to habitat change related to sea-level rise and human development. The uncertainty and complexity in predicting sea-level rise, the responses of barrier island habitats to sea-level rise, and the responses of species to sea-level rise and human development necessitate a modelling approach that can link species to the physical habitat features that will be altered by changes in sea level and human development. We used a Bayesian network framework to develop a model that links piping plover nest presence to the physical features of their nesting habitat on a barrier island that is impacted by sea-level rise and human development, using three years of data (1999, 2002, and 2008) from Assateague Island National Seashore in Maryland. Our model performance results showed that we were able to successfully predict nest presence given a wide range of physical conditions within the model’s dataset. We found that model predictions were more successful when the range of physical conditions included in model development was varied rather than when those physical conditions were narrow. We also found that all model predictions had fewer false negatives (nests predicted to be absent when they were actually present in the dataset) than false positives (nests predicted to be present when they were actually absent in the dataset), indicating that our model correctly predicted nest presence better than nest absence. These results indicated that our approach of using a Bayesian network to link specific physical features to nest presence will be useful for modelling impacts of sea-level rise- or human-related habitat change on barrier islands. We recommend that potential users of this method utilize multiple years of data that represent a wide range of physical conditions in model development, because the model performed less well when constructed using a narrow range of physical conditions. Further, given that there will always be some uncertainty in predictions of future physical habitat conditions related to sea-level rise and/or human development, predictive models will perform best when developed using multiple, varied years of data input.","language":"English","publisher":"Elsevier","doi":"10.1016/j.ecolmodel.2014.01.005","usgsCitation":"Gieder, K.D., Karpanty, S.M., Fraser, J., Catlin, D.H., Gutierrez, B.T., Plant, N.G., Turecek, A.M., and Thieler, E.R., 2014, A Bayesian network approach to predicting nest presence of thefederally-threatened piping plover (Charadrius melodus) using barrier island features: Ecological Modelling, v. 276, p. 38-50, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecolmodel.2014.01.005.","productDescription":"13 p.","startPage":"38","endPage":"50","ipdsId":"IP-053272","costCenters":[{"id":678,"text":"Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":473136,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecolmodel.2014.01.005","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":283876,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":283872,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org//10.1016/j.ecolmodel.2014.01.005"}],"country":"United States","state":"Maryl","geographicExtents":"{ \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\", \"features\": [ { \"type\": \"Feature\", \"properties\": {}, \"geometry\": { \"type\": \"Polygon\", \"coordinates\": [ [ [ -75.14,38.25 ], [ -75.14,38.34 ], [ -75.08,38.34 ], [ -75.08,38.25 ], [ -75.14,38.25 ] ] ] } } ] }","volume":"276","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"53516eb2e4b05569d8059d1b","chorus":{"doi":"10.1016/j.ecolmodel.2014.01.005","url":"http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ecolmodel.2014.01.005","publisher":"Elsevier BV","authors":"Gieder Katherina D., Karpanty Sarah M., Fraser James D., Catlin Daniel H., Gutierrez Benjamin T., Plant Nathaniel G., Turecek Aaron M., Robert Thieler E.","journalName":"Ecological Modelling","publicationDate":"3/2014","auditedOn":"3/22/2016","publiclyAccessibleDate":"1/24/2014"},"contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Gieder, Katherina D.","contributorId":34426,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Gieder","given":"Katherina","email":"","middleInitial":"D.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":491488,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Karpanty, Sarah M.","contributorId":63307,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Karpanty","given":"Sarah","email":"","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[{"id":33131,"text":"Dept of Fish and Wildlife Conservation, Virginia Tech","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":491490,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Fraser, James D.","contributorId":86686,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Fraser","given":"James D.","affiliations":[{"id":33131,"text":"Dept of Fish and Wildlife Conservation, Virginia Tech","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":491491,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Catlin, Daniel H.","contributorId":87859,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Catlin","given":"Daniel","email":"","middleInitial":"H.","affiliations":[{"id":33131,"text":"Dept of Fish and Wildlife Conservation, Virginia Tech","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":491492,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Gutierrez, Benjamin T.","contributorId":58670,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Gutierrez","given":"Benjamin","email":"","middleInitial":"T.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":491489,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Plant, Nathaniel G. 0000-0002-5703-5672 nplant@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5703-5672","contributorId":3503,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Plant","given":"Nathaniel","email":"nplant@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"G.","affiliations":[{"id":508,"text":"Office of the AD Hazards","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":574,"text":"St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":491486,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6},{"text":"Turecek, Aaron M.","contributorId":22190,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Turecek","given":"Aaron","email":"","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":491487,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":7},{"text":"Thieler, E.

One tool used for wildlife management is the deployment of radiocollars to gain knowledge of animal populations. Understanding the influence of individual factors (e.g., species, collar characteristics) and landscape characteristics (e.g., forested cover, shrubs, and fencing) on retention of expandable radiocollars for ungulates is important for obtaining empirical data on factors influencing ecology of young-of-the-year ungulates. During 2001–2009, we captured and radiocollared 198 white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) fawns, 142 pronghorn (Antilocapra americana) fawns, and 73 mule deer (O. hemionus) fawns in South Dakota, Minnesota, and California, USA. We documented 72 (36.4%), 8 (5.6%), and 7 (9.6%) premature (2, SE = 0.1, n = 75) compared with areas where fawns shed collars (x = 3.24 km/km2, SE = 0.1, n = 56) prior to 270 days. Researchers of fawns should consider that radiocollars can be shed prematurely when estimating desired sample size to yield a suitable strength of inference about some natural process of interest.

Sea lamprey Petromyzon marinus control in the Great Lakes primarily involves application of lampricides to streams where larval production occurs to kill larvae prior to their metamorphosing and entering the lakes as parasites (juveniles). Because lampricides are not 100% effective, larvae that survive treatment maymetamorphose before streams are again treated. Larvae that survive treatment have not beenwidely studied, so their dynamics are notwell understood.Wetagged and released larvae in six Great Lake tributaries following lampricide treatment and estimated vital demographic rates using multistate tag-recovery models. Model-averaged larval survivals ranged from 56.8 to 57.6%. Model-averaged adult recovery rates, which were the product of juvenile survivals and adult capture probabilities, ranged from 6.8 to 9.3%. Using stochastic simulations, we estimated production of juvenile sea lampreys from a hypothetical population of treatment survivors under different growth conditions based on parameter estimates from this research. For fast-growing populations, juvenile production peaked 2 years after treatment. For slow-growing populations, juvenile production was approximately one-third that of fast-growing populations,with production not peaking until 4 years after treatment. Our results suggest that dynamics (i.e., survival, metamorphosis) of residual larval populations are very similar to those of untreated larval populations. Consequently, residual populations do not necessarily warrant special consideration for the purpose of sea lamprey control and can be ranked for treatment along with other populations. Consecutive lampricide treatments, which are under evaluation by the sea lamprey control program, would bemost effective for reducing juvenile production in large, fast-growing populations.

These stratigraphically important tephra deposits can be geochemically identified using compositions of their titanomagnetite phenocrysts. Titanomagnetite compositions display a broad range (XUsp 0.26–0.39), which allow the tephra layers to be distinguished despite the indistinguishable major-element glass compositions (76–77 wt% SiO2) of their hosts. The concentrations of Ti and Fe in titanomagnetite display geochemical and stratigraphic groupings that allow clear discrimination between older (> 57 ka) and younger (< 41 ka) tephras. Some individual tephra layers can be uniquely identified on the basis of titanomagnetite MgO, MnO, and Al2O3 contents. In addition, a few tephra layers can be correlated to their source vents by their titanomagnetite compositions. The unique geochemical fingerprint of the Mono Craters-sourced titanomagnetites also allows the discrimination of two tephra layers apparently sourced from nearby Mammoth Mountain volcano in Long Valley.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"publisher":"Elsevier","doi":"10.1016/j.jvolgeores.2013.12.008","usgsCitation":"Marcaida, M., Mangan, M.T., Vazquez, J.A., Bursik, M., and Lidzbarski, M.I., 2014, Geochemical fingerprinting of Wilson Creek formation tephra layers (Mono Basin, California) using titanomagnetite compositions: Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research, v. 273, p. 1-14, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jvolgeores.2013.12.008.","productDescription":"14 p.","startPage":"1","endPage":"14","ipdsId":"IP-051762","costCenters":[{"id":615,"text":"Volcano Hazards Program","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":617,"text":"Volcano Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":282389,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"California","otherGeospatial":"Mono Basin","geographicExtents":"{ \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\", \"features\": [ { \"type\": \"Feature\", \"properties\": {}, \"geometry\": { \"type\": \"Polygon\", \"coordinates\": [ [ [ -119.5983,37.7539 ], [ -119.5983,38.4528 ], [ -118.7414,38.4528 ], [ -118.7414,37.7539 ], [ -119.5983,37.7539 ] ] ] } } ] }","volume":"273","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"53cd5ad6e4b0b290850f9a0a","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Marcaida, Mae mmarcaida@usgs.gov","contributorId":5345,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Marcaida","given":"Mae","email":"mmarcaida@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":617,"text":"Volcano Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":489590,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Mangan, Margaret T. 0000-0002-5273-8053 mmangan@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5273-8053","contributorId":3343,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Mangan","given":"Margaret","email":"mmangan@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"T.","affiliations":[{"id":114,"text":"Alaska Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":617,"text":"Volcano Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":615,"text":"Volcano Hazards Program","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":489588,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Vazquez, Jorge A. 0000-0003-2754-0456 jvazquez@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2754-0456","contributorId":4458,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Vazquez","given":"Jorge","email":"jvazquez@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[{"id":5056,"text":"Office of the AD Energy and Minerals, and Environmental Health","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":617,"text":"Volcano Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":501,"text":"Office of Science Quality and Integrity","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":615,"text":"Volcano Hazards Program","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":489589,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Bursik, Marcus","contributorId":36030,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Bursik","given":"Marcus","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":489592,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Lidzbarski, Marsha I. mlidzbarski@usgs.gov","contributorId":5346,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Lidzbarski","given":"Marsha","email":"mlidzbarski@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"I.","affiliations":[],"preferred":true,"id":489591,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5}]}} ,{"id":70047862,"text":"70047862 - 2014 - A conceptual framework for clutch size evolution in songbirds","interactions":[],"lastModifiedDate":"2014-03-27T14:23:29","indexId":"70047862","displayToPublicDate":"2014-03-01T10:51:00","publicationYear":"2014","noYear":false,"publicationType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"publicationSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"seriesTitle":{"id":740,"text":"American Naturalist","active":true,"publicationSubtype":{"id":10}},"title":"A conceptual framework for clutch size evolution in songbirds","docAbstract":"Causes of evolved differences in clutch size among songbird species remain debated. I propose a new conceptual framework that integrates aspects of traditional life history theory, while including novel elements, to explain evolution of clutch size among songbirds. I review evidence that selection by nest predation on length of time that offspring develop in the nest creates a gradient in offspring characteristics at nest-leaving (fledging), including flight mobility, spatial dispersion, and self-feeding rate. I postulate that this gradient has consequences for offspring mortality rates and parental energy expenditure per offspring. These consequences then determine how reproductive effort is partitioned among offspring, while reproductive effort evolves from age-specific mortality effects. Using data from a long-term site in Arizona, as well as from the literature, I provide support for hypothesized relationships. Nestling development period consistently explains fledgling mortality, energy expenditure per offspring, and clutch size while accounting for reproductive effort (i.e., total energy expenditure) to thereby support the framework. Tests in this paper are not definitive, but they document previously unrecognized relationships and address diverse traits (developmental strategies, parental care strategies, energy requirements per offspring, evolution of reproductive effort, clutch size) that justify further investigations of hypotheses proposed here.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"American Naturalist","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","doi":"10.1086/674966","usgsCitation":"Martin, T.E., 2014, A conceptual framework for clutch size evolution in songbirds: American Naturalist, v. 183, no. 3, p. 313-324, https://doi.org/10.1086/674966.","productDescription":"12 p.","startPage":"313","endPage":"324","ipdsId":"IP-044283","costCenters":[],"links":[{"id":285062,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":285060,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.1086/674966"}],"country":"North America","geographicExtents":"{ \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\", \"features\": [ { \"type\": \"Feature\", \"properties\": {}, \"geometry\": { \"type\": \"Polygon\", \"coordinates\": [ [ [ 177.1,5.6 ], [ 177.1,85.4 ], [ -4.0,85.4 ], [ -4.0,5.6 ], [ 177.1,5.6 ] ] ] } } ] }","volume":"183","issue":"3","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"53516eb3e4b05569d8059d2a","contributors":{"authors":[{"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":483173,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1}]}} ,{"id":70156389,"text":"70156389 - 2014 - Temperate and boreal forest mega-fires: characteristics and challenges","interactions":[],"lastModifiedDate":"2015-08-21T09:44:10","indexId":"70156389","displayToPublicDate":"2014-03-01T10:45:00","publicationYear":"2014","noYear":false,"publicationType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"publicationSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"seriesTitle":{"id":1701,"text":"Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment","active":true,"publicationSubtype":{"id":10}},"title":"Temperate and boreal forest mega-fires: characteristics and challenges","docAbstract":"

Mega-fires are often defined according to their size and intensity but are more accurately described by their socioeconomic impacts. Three factors – climate change, fire exclusion, and antecedent disturbance, collectively referred to as the “mega-fire triangle” – likely contribute to today's mega-fires. Some characteristics of mega-fires may emulate historical fire regimes and can therefore sustain healthy fire-prone ecosystems, but other attributes decrease ecosystem resiliency. A good example of a program that seeks to mitigate mega-fires is located in Western Australia, where prescribed burning reduces wildfire intensity while conserving ecosystems. Crown-fire-adapted ecosystems are likely at higher risk of frequent mega-fires as a result of climate change, as compared with other ecosystems once subject to frequent less severe fires. Fire and forest managers should recognize that mega-fires will be a part of future wildland fire regimes and should develop strategies to reduce their undesired impacts.

    \n
  1. Freshwater mussels (Unionidae) are a highly imperilled faunal group. One critical threat is thermal sensitivity, because global climate change and other anthropogenic activities contribute to increasing stream temperature and altered hydrologic flow that may be detrimental to freshwater mussels.
    2. \n
  2. We incorporated four benthic environmental components - temperature, sediment, water level (a surrogate for flow) and a vertical thermal gradient in the sediment column - in laboratory mesocosm experiments with juveniles of two species of freshwater mussels (Lampsilis abrupta and Lampsilis radiata) and tested their effects on survival, burrowing behaviour and byssus production.
    3. \n
  3. Increasing temperature diminished burrowing behaviour significantly in both species (P < 0.01), and the dewatered treatment significantly reduced burrowing in L. radiata, compared with that in the watered treatment. Increasing temperature also significantly reduced byssus production in both species (P < 0.01). Median lethal temperatures (LT50) ranged from 29.9 to 35.6-°C. Mussels did not burrow beneath the top stratum of sediment (0-2.5 cm) and thus did not use the available thermal refuge.
    4. \n
  4. Our findings suggest that rising stream water temperature and dewatering may directly impact freshwater mussel abundance by causing mortality and may have indirect impacts via sublethal effects. Reduced burrowing capacity may hamper ability to escape predation or unfavourably high or low flows, and decreased byssus production may inhibit attachment and dispersal capabilities in juveniles.

Hunting is often considered to be incompatible with conservation of native biota and watershed functions in Hawai'i. Management actions for conservation generally exclude large non-native mammals from natural areas, thereby reducing the amount of land area available for hunting activities and the maintenance of sustainable game populations. An approach which may be useful in addressing the necessary minimum amount of land area allocated for hunting in Hawai'i is to determine the amount of land area necessary for sustaining populations of hunted animals to meet current levels harvested by the public. We ask: What is the total amount of land necessary to provide sustained-yield hunting of game meat for food at the current harvest level on Hawai'i Island if only feral pigs (Sus scrofa) were to be harvested? We used a simplistic analysis to estimate that 1 317.6 km2-1 651.4 km2 would be necessary to produce 187 333.6 kg of feral pig meat annually based on the range of dressed weight per whole pig, the proportion of a pig population that can be sustainably removed annually, and the density of pig populations in the wild. This amount of area comprises 12.6-15.8% of the total land area of Hawai'i Island, but more likely represents 27.6-43.5% of areas that may be compatible with sustained-yield hunting.

Salt marsh faunas are constrained by specific habitat requirements for marsh elevation relative to sea level and tidal range. As sea level rises, changes in relative elevation of the marsh plain will have differing impacts on the availability of habitat for marsh obligate species. The Wetland Accretion Rate Model for Ecosystem Resilience (WARMER) is a 1-D model of elevation that incorporates both biological and physical processes of vertical marsh accretion. Here, we use WARMER to evaluate changes in marsh surface elevation and the impact of these elevation changes on marsh habitat for specific species of concern. Model results were compared to elevation-based habitat criteria developed for marsh vegetation, the endangered California clapper rail (Rallus longirostris obsoletus), and the endangered salt marsh harvest mouse (Reithrodontomys raviventris) to determine the response of marsh habitat for each species to predicted >1-m sea-level rise by 2100. Feedback between vertical accretion mechanisms and elevation reduced the effect of initial elevation in the modeled scenarios. Elevation decreased nonlinearly with larger changes in elevation during the latter half of the century when the rate of sea-level rise increased. Model scenarios indicated that changes in elevation will degrade habitat quality within salt marshes in the San Francisco Estuary, and degradation will accelerate in the latter half of the century as the rate of sea-level rise accelerates. A sensitivity analysis of the model results showed that inorganic sediment accumulation and the rate of sea-level rise had the greatest influence over salt marsh sustainability.

We find that the Mediterranean Sea region, parts of Central and South America, and western Indonesia could experience up to 30 more dry days per year by the end of this century. We illustrate how changes in the number of dry days and the precipitation intensity on precipitating days combine to produce changes in annual precipitation, and show that over much of the subtropics the change in number of dry days dominates the annual changes in precipitation and accounts for a large part of the change in interannual precipitation variability.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Scientific Reports","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"Nature Publishing Group","doi":"10.1038/srep04364","usgsCitation":"Polade, S., Pierce, D.W., Cayan, D.R., Gershunov, A., and Dettinger, M., 2014, The key role of dry days in changing regional climate and precipitation regimes: Scientific Reports, v. 4, 4363; 8 p., https://doi.org/10.1038/srep04364.","productDescription":"4363; 8 p.","numberOfPages":"8","ipdsId":"IP-055508","costCenters":[{"id":438,"text":"National Research Program - Western Branch","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":473140,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1038/srep04364","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":295528,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":295491,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.1038/srep04364"}],"volume":"4","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2014-03-13","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"544775d3e4b0f888a81b8353","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Polade, Suraj","contributorId":29337,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Polade","given":"Suraj","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":503577,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Pierce, David W.","contributorId":38492,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Pierce","given":"David","email":"","middleInitial":"W.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":503578,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Cayan, Daniel R. 0000-0002-2719-6811 drcayan@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2719-6811","contributorId":1494,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Cayan","given":"Daniel","email":"drcayan@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"R.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":503575,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Gershunov, Alexander","contributorId":45238,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Gershunov","given":"Alexander","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":503579,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Dettinger, Michael D. 0000-0002-7509-7332","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7509-7332","contributorId":8019,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Dettinger","given":"Michael D.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":503576,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5}]}} ,{"id":70099275,"text":"70099275 - 2014 - Aspidoscelis deppii (black-bellied racerunner).

Aspidoscelis deppii is widely distributed from Veracruz and Michoacan, Mexico, to Costa Rica (Köhler et al. 2006. The Amphibians and Reptiles of El Salvador, Krieger Publishing Company, Malabar, Florida. 238 pp.). Neotropical lizards are abundant and common prey to all classes of terrestrial vertebrates, and bird predation of lizards is well known. The Turkey Vulture (Carthartes aura) is widely distributed from southern Canada south to South America and is present throughout the entire range of A. deppii, where it occupies a variety of open and forested habitats and feeds opportunistically on a wide range of wild and domestic carrion. While almost exclusively a scavenger, this species is known to rarely kill small animals or invertebrates (Kirk and Mossman 1998. In A. Poole [ed.], The Birds of North America Online. Cornell Lab of Ornithology, Ithaca; accessed 15 August 2013). An adult Turkey Vulture was collected during avian control to minimize wildlife hazards at the Aeropuerto Internacional de El Salvador (ca. 50 km SE of San Salvador, 13.4408°N 89.0556°W; datum WGS84) on 10 July 2012 and subsequently cataloged (USNM 646876) in the Bird Division at the National Museum of Natural History (NMNH) in Washington, DC. Dissection during preparation of the bird as a museum specimen revealed a male A. deppii (ca. 56 mm SVL) in the stomach. It was cataloged at the NMNH in the Division of Amphibians and Reptiles (USNM 580989). Tissue samples were removed from both the lizard and the bird and deposited in the biorepository at the NMNH. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first documented record identifying A. deppii as a prey item of the Turkey Vulture.

We exposed eggs, larvae, juveniles and adults of P. dumerilii to various concentrations of citrate (cit-Ag NPs) or humic acid (HA-Ag NPs) capped silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) as well to dissolved Ag (added as AgNO3). We showed that mortality and abnormal development rate increased with younger life stages. While adults and juvenile were the most tolerant life stages, fertilized eggs were highly sensitive to AgNO3, cit-Ag NPs and HA-Ag NPs. Exposures to HA-Ag NPs triggered the highest cute toxicity responses in P. dumerilii and in most cases both Ag NPs were more toxic than AgNO3. Uptake rate of HA-Ag NPs in adult worms was also higher than from other Ag forms, consistent with toxicity to other life stages. The early stages of the life cycle of marine coastal organisms are more affected by Ag NPs than the juvenile or adult life stages, indicating that exposure experiments at the larval level contribute to realistic eco-toxicological studies in aquatic environments.","language":"English","publisher":"Elsevier","doi":"10.1016/j.scitotenv.2014.01.039","usgsCitation":"Garcia-Alonso, J., Rodriguez-Sanchez, N., Misra, S.K., Valsami-Jones, E., Croteau, M., Luoma, S.N., and Rainbow, P.S., 2014, Toxicity and accumulation of silver nanoparticles during development of the marine polychaete Platynereis dumerilii: Science of the Total Environment, v. 476-477, p. 688-695, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2014.01.039.","productDescription":"8 p.","startPage":"688","endPage":"695","ipdsId":"IP-053939","costCenters":[{"id":589,"text":"Toxic Substances Hydrology Program","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":283209,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":283208,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2014.01.039"}],"volume":"476-477","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5351706ae4b05569d805a417","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Garcia-Alonso, Javier","contributorId":65002,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Garcia-Alonso","given":"Javier","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":491202,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Rodriguez-Sanchez, Neus","contributorId":94974,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Rodriguez-Sanchez","given":"Neus","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":491205,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Misra, Superb K.","contributorId":91231,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Misra","given":"Superb","email":"","middleInitial":"K.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":491204,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Valsami-Jones, Eugenia","contributorId":26057,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Valsami-Jones","given":"Eugenia","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":491201,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Croteau, Marie-Noële","contributorId":22863,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Croteau","given":"Marie-Noële","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":491200,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Luoma, Samuel N. 0000-0001-5443-5091 snluoma@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5443-5091","contributorId":2287,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Luoma","given":"Samuel","email":"snluoma@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"N.","affiliations":[{"id":438,"text":"National Research Program - Western Branch","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":491199,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6},{"text":"Rainbow, Philip S.","contributorId":83025,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Rainbow","given":"Philip","email":"","middleInitial":"S.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":491203,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":7}]}} ,{"id":70129229,"text":"70129229 - 2014 - Water resources management in the Ganges Basin: a comparison of three strategies for conjunctive use of groundwater and surface water","interactions":[],"lastModifiedDate":"2014-10-21T10:11:30","indexId":"70129229","displayToPublicDate":"2014-03-01T10:02:00","publicationYear":"2014","noYear":false,"publicationType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"publicationSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"seriesTitle":{"id":3721,"text":"Water Resources Management","onlineIssn":"1573-1650","printIssn":"0920-4741","active":true,"publicationSubtype":{"id":10}},"title":"Water resources management in the Ganges Basin: a comparison of three strategies for conjunctive use of groundwater and surface water","docAbstract":"The most difficult water resources management challenge in the Ganges Basin is the imbalance between water demand and seasonal availability. More than 80 % of the annual flow in the Ganges River occurs during the 4-month monsoon, resulting in widespread flooding. During the rest of the year, irrigation, navigation, and ecosystems suffer because of water scarcity. Storage of monsoonal flow for utilization during the dry season is one approach to mitigating these problems. Three conjunctive use management strategies involving subsurface water storage are evaluated in this study: Ganges Water Machine (GWM), Pumping Along Canals (PAC), and Distributed Pumping and Recharge (DPR). Numerical models are used to determine the efficacy of these strategies. Results for the Indian State of Uttar Pradesh (UP) indicate that these strategies create seasonal subsurface storage from 6 to 37 % of the yearly average monsoonal flow in the Ganges exiting UP over the considered range of conditions. This has clear implications for flood reduction, and each strategy has the potential to provide irrigation water and to reduce soil waterlogging. However, GWM and PAC require significant public investment in infrastructure and management, as well as major shifts in existing water use practices; these also involve spatially-concentrated pumping, which may induce land subsidence. DPR also requires investment and management, but the distributed pumping is less costly and can be more easily implemented via adaptation of existing water use practices in the basin.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Water Resources Management","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"Springer","doi":"10.1007/s11269-014-0537-y","usgsCitation":"Khan, M.R., Voss, C.I., Yu, W., and Michael, H.A., 2014, Water resources management in the Ganges Basin: a comparison of three strategies for conjunctive use of groundwater and surface water: Water Resources Management, v. 28, no. 5, p. 1235-1250, https://doi.org/10.1007/s11269-014-0537-y.","productDescription":"16 p.","startPage":"1235","endPage":"1250","numberOfPages":"16","ipdsId":"IP-053808","costCenters":[{"id":438,"text":"National Research Program - Western Branch","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":473141,"rank":0,"type":{"id":41,"text":"Open Access External Repository Page"},"url":"http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2016/03/26044370/water-resources-management-ganges-basin-comparison-three-strategies-conjunctive-use-groundwater-surface-water","text":"External Repository"},{"id":295524,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":295486,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s11269-014-0537-y"}],"country":"Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Tibet","otherGeospatial":"Ganges Basin","volume":"28","issue":"5","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2014-03-09","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"544775d5e4b0f888a81b835a","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Khan, Mahfuzur R.","contributorId":36477,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Khan","given":"Mahfuzur","email":"","middleInitial":"R.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":503562,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Voss, Clifford I. 0000-0001-5923-2752 cvoss@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5923-2752","contributorId":1559,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Voss","given":"Clifford","email":"cvoss@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"I.","affiliations":[{"id":438,"text":"National Research Program - Western Branch","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":503560,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Yu, Winston","contributorId":84293,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Yu","given":"Winston","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":503563,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Michael, Holly A.","contributorId":29336,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Michael","given":"Holly","email":"","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":503561,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4}]}} ,{"id":70127986,"text":"70127986 - 2014 - Hybridization of an invasive shrub affects tolerance and resistance to defoliation by a biological control agent","interactions":[],"lastModifiedDate":"2014-10-03T10:03:34","indexId":"70127986","displayToPublicDate":"2014-03-01T10:00:00","publicationYear":"2014","noYear":false,"publicationType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"publicationSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"seriesTitle":{"id":1601,"text":"Evolutionary Applications","active":true,"publicationSubtype":{"id":10}},"title":"Hybridization of an invasive shrub affects tolerance and resistance to defoliation by a biological control agent","docAbstract":"Evolution has contributed to the successful invasion of exotic plant species in their introduced ranges, but how evolution affects particular control strategies is still under evaluation. For instance, classical biological control, a common strategy involving the utilization of highly specific natural enemies to control exotic pests, may be negatively affected by host hybridization because of shifts in plant traits, such as root allocation or chemical constituents. We investigated introgression between two parent species of the invasive shrub tamarisk (Tamarix spp.) in the western United States, and how differences in plant traits affect interactions with a biological control agent. Introgression varied strongly with latitude of origin and was highly correlated with plant performance. Increased levels of T. ramosissima introgression resulted in both higher investment in roots and tolerance to defoliation and less resistance to insect attack. Because tamarisk hybridization occurs predictably on the western U.S. landscape, managers may be able to exploit this information to maximize control efforts. Genetic differentiation in plant traits in this system underpins the importance of plant hybridization and may explain why some biological control releases are more successful than others.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Evolutionary Applications","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"Wiley","doi":"10.1111/eva.12134","usgsCitation":"Williams, W.I., Friedman, J.M., Gaskin, J.F., and Norton, A., 2014, Hybridization of an invasive shrub affects tolerance and resistance to defoliation by a biological control agent: Evolutionary Applications, v. 7, no. 3, p. 381-393, https://doi.org/10.1111/eva.12134.","productDescription":"13 p.","startPage":"381","endPage":"393","numberOfPages":"13","ipdsId":"IP-051243","costCenters":[{"id":291,"text":"Fort Collins Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":473142,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1111/eva.12134","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":294898,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":294890,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.1111/eva.12134"}],"country":"United States","state":"Colorado","city":"Fort Collins","volume":"7","issue":"3","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2014-01-15","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"542fbaa1e4b092f17df61d1f","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Williams, Wyatt I.","contributorId":12387,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Williams","given":"Wyatt","email":"","middleInitial":"I.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":502721,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Friedman, Jonathan M. 0000-0002-1329-0663 friedmanj@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1329-0663","contributorId":2473,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Friedman","given":"Jonathan","email":"friedmanj@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[{"id":291,"text":"Fort Collins Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":502720,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Gaskin, John F.","contributorId":39307,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Gaskin","given":"John","email":"","middleInitial":"F.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":502722,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Norton, Andrew P.","contributorId":46436,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Norton","given":"Andrew P.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":502723,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4}]}} ,{"id":70132442,"text":"70132442 - 2014 - Suppressing bullfrog larvae with carbon dioxide","interactions":[],"lastModifiedDate":"2020-12-31T18:45:44.393254","indexId":"70132442","displayToPublicDate":"2014-03-01T10:00:00","publicationYear":"2014","noYear":false,"publicationType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"publicationSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"seriesTitle":{"id":2334,"text":"Journal of Herpetology","active":true,"publicationSubtype":{"id":10}},"title":"Suppressing bullfrog larvae with carbon dioxide","docAbstract":"

Current management strategies for the control and suppression of the American Bullfrog (Lithobates catesbeianus = Rana catesbeiana Shaw) and other invasive amphibians have had minimal effect on their abundance and distribution. This study evaluates the effects of carbon dioxide (CO2) on pre- and prometamorphic Bullfrog larvae. Bullfrogs are a model organism for evaluating potential suppression agents because they are a successful invader worldwide. From experimental trials we estimated that the 24-h 50% and 99% lethal concentration (LC50 and LC99) values for Bullfrog larvae were 371 and 549 mg CO2/L, respectively. Overall, larvae that succumbed to experimental conditions had a lower body condition index than those that survived. We also documented sublethal changes in blood chemistry during prolonged exposure to elevated CO2. Specifically, blood pH decreased by more than 0.5 pH units after 9 h of exposure and both blood partial pressure of CO2 (pCO2) and blood glucose increased. These findings suggest that CO2 treatments can be lethal to Bullfrog larvae under controlled laboratory conditions. We believe this work represents the necessary foundation for further consideration of CO2 as a potential suppression agent for one of the most harmful invaders to freshwater ecosystems.
