To address this knowledge gap, we conducted high frequency sampling of multiple C forms, including dissolved organic C (DOC), inorganic carbon (as alkalinity), particulate organic C (POC), coarse particulate organic C (CPOC), and invertebrate biomass C across the main run-off season in a predominantly rain-fed watershed in Southeast Alaska. Streamwater concentrations were used to model daily watershed C export from May through October. Concentration and modeled yield data indicated that DOC was the primary form of riverine C export (8708&nbsp;kg C/km</span><sup>2</sup><span>), except during low flow periods when alkalinity (3125&nbsp;kg C/km</span><sup>2</sup><span>) was the dominant form of C export.

The disease was first detected in California in May 2020, prompting an interagency/zoo/academia/nonprofit team to implement emergency conservation actions to protect endangered riparian brush rabbits (</span><i>Sylvilagus bachmani riparius</i><span>) from RHDV2. Prior to vaccinating wild rabbits, we conducted a vaccine safety trial by giving a single SC dose of Filavac VHD K C+V (Filavie) vaccine to 19 adult wild riparian brush rabbits captured and temporarily held in captivity. Rabbits were monitored for adverse effects, and serum was collected before vaccination, and at 7–10, 14–20, and 60 d post-vaccination. Sera were tested using an ELISA to determine antibody response and timing of seroconversion. Reverse-transcription quantitative real-time PCR (RT-qPCR) was performed on rectal swabs to evaluate infection status. No adverse effects from the vaccine were observed. Before vaccination, 18 of 19 rabbits were seronegative, and RHDV2 was not detected by RT-qPCR on any rectal swabs. After vaccination, all rabbits developed an antibody response, with titers of 1:10–1:160. Seroconversion generally occurred at 7–10 d. The duration of antibody response was ≥60 d in 12 of 13 rabbits. Sixteen animals were released and 4 were recaptured several months later, offering a glimpse into longer duration immune response. Our study has informed vaccination strategies for this species and serves as a model for protecting other vulnerable lagomorphs against RHDV2.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Sage","doi":"10.1177/10406387241267850","usgsCitation":"Moriarty, M.E., Rudd, J.L., Takahashi, F., Hopson, E., Kinzley, C., Minier, D., Herman, A., Berninger, M.L., Mohamed, F., Makhdoomi, M., Woods, L.W., Ip, H., and Clifford, D.L., 2024, Antibody response of endangered riparian brush rabbits to vaccination against rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus 2: Journal of Veterinary Diagnostic Investigations, v. 36, no. 5, p. 735-744, https://doi.org/10.1177/10406387241267850.","productDescription":"10 p.","startPage":"735","endPage":"744","ipdsId":"IP-159359","costCenters":[{"id":456,"text":"National Wildlife Health Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":489086,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/11457773","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":465010,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"California","otherGeospatial":"San Joaquin River National Wildlife Refuge","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -121.23726054372516,\n              37.658190048288006\n            ],\n            [\n              -121.23726054372516,\n              37.58493145324623\n            ],\n            [\n              -121.13687347946288,\n              37.58493145324623\n            ],\n            [\n              -121.13687347946288,\n              37.658190048288006\n            ],\n            [\n              -121.23726054372516,\n              37.658190048288006\n            ]\n          ]\n        ],\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"36","issue":"5","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2024-08-23","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Moriarty, Megan E.","contributorId":347049,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Moriarty","given":"Megan","email":"","middleInitial":"E.","affiliations":[{"id":83045,"text":"Wildlife Health Laboratory, California Department of Fish and Wildlife, Rancho Cordova, C","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":920684,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Rudd, Jaime L.","contributorId":347050,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Rudd","given":"Jaime","email":"","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[{"id":83045,"text":"Wildlife Health Laboratory, California Department of Fish and Wildlife, Rancho Cordova, C","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":920685,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Takahashi, Fumika","contributorId":333625,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Takahashi","given":"Fumika","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":36188,"text":"U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":920686,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Hopson, Eric","contributorId":347051,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Hopson","given":"Eric","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":83046,"text":"National Wildlife Refuge Complex, United States Fish and Wildlife Service, Los Banos, CA, USA","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":920687,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Kinzley, Colleen","contributorId":347052,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Kinzley","given":"Colleen","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":83047,"text":"Department of Animal Care, Conservation and Research, Oakland Zoo -

We used meta-regression of 29 implemented treatments to determine fatality reduction efficacy as well as sources of variation influencing efficacy.

Three subspecies of mole skink (<i>Plestiodon egregius egregius</i>,<span>&nbsp;</span><i>P. e. insularis</i>, and the Egmont Key Mole Skink known from a single occurrence) occur on a small number of islands off the Gulf Coast of Florida, USA. We used the most recent sea level rise projections and the latest storm surge simulation data to predict impacts to habitat for insular mole skinks in Florida from 2030 to 2150. Our models predicted that in &lt;100 years (by 2100; intermediate sea level rise scenario; ~1.08–1.15 m sea level rise), &gt;78% of preferred habitat for the Florida Keys Mole Skink, &gt;65% of preferred habitat for the Cedar Key Mole Skink, and &gt;36% of preferred habitat for the Egmont Key Mole Skink will be inundated from sea level rise. Storm surge from tropical cyclones presents a more immediate risk to insular mole skink habitat: our models predicted that between 58% and 75% of Florida Keys Mole Skink habitat is at risk of being submerged under an average maximum of between 0.60 (SD = 0.86) and 0.98 (SD = 0.36) m of storm surge water for a category 1 storm, and the amount of habitat predicted to be impacted increases for higher intensity storms. Our models predicted similar trends for Cedar Key and Egmont Key Mole Skink habitat. Given current sea level rise projections, our models predicted that all three subspecies could be extinct by 2140 due to habitat inundation. There remains uncertainty about how species and ecosystems will respond to sea level rise, thus research to fill these gaps could help mitigate the effects of sea level rise in areas most vulnerable to the effects of climate change.</p></div></div>","language":"English","publisher":"The Society for Conservation Biology","doi":"10.1111/csp2.13208","usgsCitation":"Koen, E.L., Barichivich, W., and Walls, S., 2024, Vulnerability of endemic insular mole skinks to sea-level rise: Conservation Science and Practice, v. 6, no. 9, e13208, 18 p., https://doi.org/10.1111/csp2.13208.","productDescription":"e13208, 18 p.","ipdsId":"IP-155036","costCenters":[{"id":17705,"text":"Wetland and Aquatic Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":439197,"rank":1,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1111/csp2.13208","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":433347,"rank":2,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"6","issue":"9","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2024-08-23","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Koen, Erin L. 0000-0001-9481-7692","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9481-7692","contributorId":330539,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Koen","given":"Erin","email":"","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[{"id":78927,"text":"Cherokee Nation Systems Solutions","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":911863,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Barichivich, William 0000-0003-1103-6861","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1103-6861","contributorId":215988,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Barichivich","given":"William","affiliations":[{"id":17705,"text":"Wetland and Aquatic Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":911864,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Walls, Susan 0000-0001-7391-9155","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7391-9155","contributorId":216362,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Walls","given":"Susan","affiliations":[{"id":17705,"text":"Wetland and Aquatic Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":911865,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3}]}}

Since the 1980s, groundwater levels and water-quality data have been collected to monitor the status of the aquifer system and to assist in planning efforts to address current (2024) and future demand. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with Douglas County, Nevada, evaluated trends in water levels, nitrate, and arsenic concentrations from a network of monitoring and domestic wells in Carson Valley. This work also assessed the monitoring well network to determine the suitability of wells for characterizing the occurrence of arsenic in the groundwater. Monitoring of constituents, such as nitrate and arsenic concentrations, is needed to assess changes in contaminant distribution and to evaluate the effect that changing land use and groundwater pumping has on their occurrence and transport.</p><p>Results of the trend analysis indicate water levels are declining (<i>p</i>&lt;0.05) in 17 of 26 selected monitoring wells (65 percent). Areas with the largest change in water levels, with more than 20 feet of declines, were within the community areas of Johnson Lane, Ruhenstroth, South Agricultural, East Valley, and Fish Springs. Variations in water levels measured in wells from the Central Agricultural, Minden, Foothill, Alpine County (one well), and Gardnerville Ranchos areas show periods of increase and decrease over time, but they also maintain long-term declining trends (<i>p</i>&lt;0.05).</p><p>Increases in nitrate concentrations in groundwater samples collected from 9 out of 14 selected monitoring wells (64 percent) are statistically significant (<i>p</i>&lt;0.05) within the Ruhenstroth, Gardnerville Ranchos, East Valley, Genoa, and Johnson Lane community areas. Samples collected from a well in Indian Hills/Jacks Valley indicated a decreasing trend in nitrate concentration over time. Nitrate concentrations in samples collected from wells in East Valley, Genoa, Johnson Lane, and Indian Hills/Jack Valley were consistently low (less than 3 milligrams per liter [mg/L]) and stable. Nitrate concentrations from selected wells in Johnson Lane and Garnerville Ranchos exceeded the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) maximum contaminant level (MCL) of 10 mg/L (as nitrogen) and have trends that are increasing over time. In 2022, a sample collected from Johnson Lane had a concentration (7.3 mg/L) below the MCL with an increasing trend over time.</p><p>Temporal trend analyses for groundwater arsenic concentrations in Carson Valley could not be done because of a lack of temporal data. However, using available historical data, arsenic concentrations seem to be greater in groundwater from wells located on the eastern and northern areas of the valley than in wells located on the western or southern areas. Groundwater arsenic concentrations exceed 5 micrograms per liter (μg/L) in most samples collected from wells in Johnson Lane, Airport, Central Agricultural, and East Valley areas and in many cases exceed the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) MCL of 10 μg/L. Data indicate that groundwater from domestic wells screened at deeper intervals are likely more vulnerable to elevated arsenic concentrations than shallower wells.</p><p>A groundwater network evaluation for Carson Valley identified potential modifications in the sampling locations and frequency to better understand the effect of groundwater pumping in communities where municipal and domestic demand are greatest, potentially enhancing understanding of contaminant transport in these areas. Potential modifications to the active well network include reducing the frequency of sample collection from existing network wells (6 out of 11) that have consistently shown low and stable nitrate concentrations, adding wells in areas where data are sparse, and increasing the number of wells in areas with elevated groundwater nitrate concentrations. Including the analysis of arsenic in samples from the active groundwater monitoring well network will provide more detail on the temporal and spatial variability of arsenic concentrations.</p><p>A visualization tool for the Carson River Basin was developed to provide access to discrete and near real-time hydrologic and water-quality data. The Carson River Basin Hydro Mapper (CBH; U.S. Geological Survey, 2023b) shows active and historical discrete water levels measured by the USGS and the State of Nevada Division of Water Resources, discrete groundwater nitrate and arsenic concentration data collected by the USGS, near real-time streamflow, and surface water levels for select waterbodies. The hydrologic data in the CBH provides resource managers, the public, and the scientific community with an easily accessible tool to present and communicate the most up-to-date information available about local and basin-wide water resources.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","publisherLocation":"Reston, VA","doi":"10.3133/ofr20241045","collaboration":"Prepared in cooperation with Douglas County, Nevada","programNote":"Water Resources Mission Area—Water's Cooperative Matching Funds","usgsCitation":"Naranjo, R.C., and Bubiy, A., 2024, Assessment of water levels, nitrate, and arsenic in the Carson Valley Alluvial Aquifer and the development of a data visualization tool for the Carson River Basin, Nevada (ver. 1.1, September 2024): U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 2024–1045, 29 p., https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20241045.","productDescription":"vii, 29 p.","numberOfPages":"29","onlineOnly":"Y","ipdsId":"IP-154652","costCenters":[{"id":465,"text":"Nevada Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":48595,"text":"Oklahoma-Texas Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":434792,"rank":7,"type":{"id":25,"text":"Version History"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2024/1045/versionHist.txt","size":"5 KB","linkFileType":{"id":2,"text":"txt"}},{"id":432958,"rank":1,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2024/1045/covrthb.jpg"},{"id":432959,"rank":2,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2024/1045/ofr20241045.pdf","text":"Report","size":"4 MB","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":432960,"rank":3,"type":{"id":31,"text":"Publication XML"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2024/1045/ofr20241045.xml"},{"id":432961,"rank":4,"type":{"id":34,"text":"Image Folder"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2024/1045/images"},{"id":432962,"rank":5,"type":{"id":39,"text":"HTML Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/publication/ofr20241045/full"},{"id":497966,"rank":8,"type":{"id":36,"text":"NGMDB Index Page"},"url":"https://ngmdb.usgs.gov/Prodesc/proddesc_117224.htm","linkFileType":{"id":5,"text":"html"}},{"id":433077,"rank":6,"type":{"id":4,"text":"Application Site"},"url":"https://webapps.usgs.gov/carsonriverbasinhydromapper/","text":"Carson River Basin Hydro Mapper Webapp"}],"country":"United States","state":"Nevada","otherGeospatial":"Carson River Basin","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -119.6,\n              39.05\n            ],\n            [\n              -119.6,\n              38.5\n            ],\n            [\n              -119.3,\n              38.5\n            ],\n            [\n              -119.3,\n              39.05\n            ],\n            [\n              -119.6,\n              39.05\n            ]\n          ]\n        ],\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","edition":"Version 1.0: August 2024; Version 1.1: September 2024","contact":"<p><a href=\"mailto:dc_nv@usgs.gov\" data-mce-href=\"mailto:dc_nv@usgs.gov\">Director</a>,<br><a href=\"https://www.usgs.gov/centers/nv-water\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-mce-href=\"https://www.usgs.gov/centers/nv-water\">Nevada Water Science Center</a><br><a href=\"https://usgs.gov/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-mce-href=\"https://usgs.gov\">U.S. Geological Survey</a><br>2730 N.

Flathead Catfish are piscivores known to consume native and recreationally important fish species. In the mid-Atlantic United States, it is unknown how this invader is impacting food webs and which species may be at greatest predation risk. To address this knowledge gap, we DNA barcoded stomach contents collected from Flathead Catfish to identify prey species and elucidate potential predatory impacts of Flathead Catfish in the Susquehanna River.</p><h3 id=\"tafs10480-sec-0102-title\" class=\"article-section__sub-title section1\">Methods</h3><p>We used a Bayesian hierarchical multivariate probit model to investigate if the probability of prey species occurrence in the diets of Flathead Catfish varied seasonally or was a function of Flathead Catfish length.</p><h3 id=\"tafs10480-sec-0103-title\" class=\"article-section__sub-title section1\">Result</h3><p>A total of 576 Flathead Catfish were collected during 2020–2021, with 241 individuals having recoverable stomach contents. In all, we identified 47 different prey species. The most common prey species were rusty crayfish<span>&nbsp;</span><i>Faxonius rusticus</i>, Margined Madtom<span>&nbsp;</span><i>Noturus insignis</i>, and shiners<span>&nbsp;</span><i>Notropis</i><span>&nbsp;</span>spp<i>.</i><span>&nbsp;</span>While frequency of occurrence of prey species differed across Flathead Catfish length classes (&lt;300 mm, 301–600 mm, 601–900 mm TL), rusty crayfish were commonly found (33.7–44.0% of diets) in stomachs of all size-classes.</p><h3 id=\"tafs10480-sec-0104-title\" class=\"article-section__sub-title section1\">Conclusion</h3><p>We found that Flathead Catfish length and seasonality did influence occurrence probability differentially for several prey species. For example, Channel Catfish<span>&nbsp;</span><i>Ictalurus punctatus</i><span>&nbsp;</span>were more likely to appear in shorter Flathead Catfish while Smallmouth Bass<span>&nbsp;</span><i>Micropterus dolomieu</i><span>&nbsp;</span>appeared in larger Flathead Catfish.

Reservoirs are critical for lessening the impacts of drought on water available for many uses. We use a novel and generalized approach to identify periods of unusually low reservoir storage—via comparisons to operational rule curves and historical patterns—to investigate how droughts affect storage in 250 reservoirs across the conterminous U.S. (CONUS). We find that the maximum amount of water stored in reservoirs is decreasing, and that periods of unusually low storage are becoming longer, more severe, and more variable in (a) western and central CONUS reservoirs, and (b) reservoirs with primarily over-year storage. Results suggest that reservoir storage has become less reliable and more vulnerable to larger deviations from desired storage patterns. These changes have coincided with ongoing shifts to the hydroclimate of CONUS, and with sedimentation further reducing available reservoir storage.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"American Geophysical Union","doi":"10.1029/2024GL109476","usgsCitation":"Simeone, C., Hammond, J., Archfield, S.A., Broman, D., Condon, L.,

Although public alert delivery via mobile phones began in California in 2019 followed by Oregon and Washington in 2021, little is known about what might drive widespread implementation in at-risk institutional settings such as schools. For example, there has been limited research on how to best integrate earthquake early warning into existing emergency plans, alert systems, and drills to keep school children and personnel safe in an earthquake. To address this gap, in the spring of 2022, every school district superintendent in Alaska, California, Oregon, and Washington was sent a 15-min online survey. The survey assessed superintendent knowledge of ShakeAlert, preferences for alert messaging, and perceived opportunities and barriers to incorporating the system in schools. The results showed that superintendents had low awareness of ShakeAlert but held positive perceptions of the system's potential to enable life-saving protective actions. A major barrier to adoption included the perceived financial cost of implementing and maintaining the system. There were some statistically significant differences in state responses, and future research could investigate the specific needs of each state based on school district size and composition, hazard exposure, and earthquake experience. Together these findings can help inform targeted strategies to increase ShakeAlert adoption in schools and ultimately improve the safety of school children and staff during earthquakes.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Elsevier","doi":"10.1016/j.ijdrr.2024.104735","usgsCitation":"Adams, R., Davies, H., Peek, L., Mordy, M., Tobin, J., Breeden, J., McBride,

Cisco historically supported large commercial fisheries in the Great Lakes during the late 1800s and early 1900s, but many populations declined and never recovered. Restoration efforts focusing on re-establishing cisco in the Great Lakes are underway, but increasing water temperatures may hinder these efforts. Therefore, we examined aerobic scope and thermal tolerance of allopatric cisco populations from different latitudes and habitats to determine if a southern latitude population (Crooked Lake, Indiana, USA) near the southern edge of cisco distribution was better adapted to withstand warmer water temperatures than a northern latitude population (Les Cheneaux Islands, Michigan, USA; Lake Huron). As expected, both stocks demonstrated increases in metabolic rates and absolute aerobic scope with increased temperature. Northern cisco had significantly lower aerobic scope compared to southern cisco at both treatment temperatures of 10 and 13&nbsp;°C. Both cisco stocks had high thermal tolerances when challenged by temperatures increased to 20 and 23&nbsp;°C but low tolerances at 26&nbsp;°C. Cisco thermal tolerances increased with acclimation temperature, but we did not detect a difference in thermal tolerances between northern and southern cisco. Although southern cisco had higher capacity for aerobic metabolism, both stock sources had high thermal tolerances at the upper end of their thermal limits. Therefore, either population would be likely suitable for reintroduction into Great Lakes habitats, even with expected warming in the future.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Elsevier","doi":"10.1016/j.jglr.2024.102415","usgsCitation":"Simonson, M.A., Bunnell, D., Madenjian, C.P., Keeler, K., and Schmitt, J., 2024,

Aurora is part of an open-source processing workflow that leverages the self-describing data container MTH5, which in turn leverages the general mt-metadata framework to manage metadata. These pre-existing packages simplify the processing by providing managed data structures, allowing for transfer functions to be generated with only a few lines of code. The processing depends on two inputs -- a table defining the data to use for TF estimation, and a JSON file specifying the processing parameters, both of which are generated automatically, and can be modified if desired. Output TFs are returned as mt_metadata objects, and can be exported to a variety of common formats for plotting, modeling and inversion.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"Open Source Initiative","doi":"10.21105/joss.06832","usgsCitation":"Kappler, K., Peacock, J., Egbert, G.D., Frassetto, A., Heagy, L., Kelbert, A., Keyson, L., Oldenburg, D.W., Ronan, T., and Sweet, J., 2024, Aurora: An open-source Python implementation of the EMTF package for magnetotelluric data processing using MTH5 and mt-metadata: Journal of Open Source Software, v. 9, no. 100, 6832, 7 p., https://doi.org/10.21105/joss.06832.","productDescription":"6832, 7 p.","ipdsId":"IP-164541","costCenters":[{"id":312,"text":"Geology, Minerals, Energy, and Geophysics Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":466956,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"http://dx.doi.org/10.21105/joss.06832","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":465194,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"9","issue":"100","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Kappler, Karl 0000-0002-1877-1255","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1877-1255","contributorId":345189,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Kappler","given":"Karl","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":82517,"text":"IMDEX Technology USA, LLC","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":921185,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Peacock, Jared R. 0000-0002-0439-0224","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0439-0224","contributorId":210082,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Peacock","given":"Jared R.","affiliations":[{"id":312,"text":"Geology, Minerals, Energy, and Geophysics Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":921186,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Egbert, Gary D.","contributorId":187462,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Egbert","given":"Gary","email":"","middleInitial":"D.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":921187,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Frassetto, Andrew 0000-0002-8818-3731","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8818-3731","contributorId":345192,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Frassetto","given":"Andrew","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":82518,"text":"Incorporated Research Institutes for Seismology","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":921327,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Heagy, Lindsey 0000-0002-1551-5926","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1551-5926","contributorId":345190,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Heagy","given":"Lindsey","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":78772,"text":"University of British Columbia, Canada","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":921328,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Kelbert, Anna 0000-0003-4395-398X akelbert@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4395-398X","contributorId":184053,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Kelbert","given":"Anna","email":"akelbert@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":300,"text":"Geologic Hazards Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":921329,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6},{"text":"Keyson, Laura","contributorId":347262,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Keyson","given":"Laura","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":83114,"text":"Earthscope USA","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":921188,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":7},{"text":"Oldenburg, Douglas W. 0000-0002-4327-2124","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4327-2124","contributorId":304117,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Oldenburg","given":"Douglas","email":"","middleInitial":"W.","affiliations":[{"id":65972,"text":"Geophysical Inversion Facility (GIF), Department of Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences, University of British Columbia","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":921330,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":8},{"text":"Ronan, Timothy 0000-0001-8450-9573","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8450-9573","contributorId":345191,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Ronan","given":"Timothy","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":82518,"text":"Incorporated Research Institutes for Seismology","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":921189,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":9},{"text":"Sweet, Justin 0000-0001-7323-9758","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7323-9758","contributorId":347263,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Sweet","given":"Justin","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":83114,"text":"Earthscope USA","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":921331,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":10}]}}

The same arguments require that the scale of secondary damage is proportional to the size of geometric irregularities along the main fault. This relationship could apply at all scales, but has, so far, been difficult to observe at the 10s to 100&nbsp;s of km scales of large, natural faults, often because large-scale deformation is distributed across wide, complex plate-boundary fault systems, like the San Andreas Fault. The geometry and geology of another large-scale plate-boundary strike slip fault—the Queen Charlotte Fault (QCF)—is, in contrast, especially simple. Here, we show that observations of secondary deformation are well-aligned with predictions of stress variations caused by geometric irregularities along the QCF, suggesting a geometric relationship between primary fault geometry and secondary deformation. The analytic stress solution reveals that the highest stresses and highest likelihood of failure are confined to a zone of influence (ZOI) with a width quantified by&nbsp;</span><span class=\"math\"><span id=\"MathJax-Element-1-Frame\" class=\"MathJax_SVG\" data-mathml=\"<math xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML&quot;><mi mathvariant=&quot;italic&quot; is=&quot;true&quot;>ZOI</mi><mo is=&quot;true&quot;>=</mo><mi is=&quot;true&quot;>&amp;#x3BB;</mi><mo is=&quot;true&quot;>/</mo><mn is=&quot;true&quot;>2</mn><mi is=&quot;true&quot;>&amp;#x3C0;</mi></math>\"><span class=\"MJX_Assistive_MathML\">ZOI=λ/2π</span></span></span><span>, where λ is the wavelength of geometric variations along the main fault.

We present a new method for this, representing a substantial advance in automated deep-learning-based image segmentation. From these maps, we measured large wood and sediment deposits from high-resolution orthoimages to explore the dynamics of large wood in two reaches of the Elwha River, Washington, USA, between 2012 and 2017 as it adjusted to upstream dam removals. The data set consists of a time series of orthoimages (12.5-cm resolution) constructed using Structure-from-Motion photogrammetry on imagery from 14 aerial surveys. Model training was optimized to yield maximum accuracy for estimated wood areas, compared to manually digitized wood, therefore model development and intended application were coupled. These fully reproducible methods and model resulted in a maximum of 15% error between observed and estimated total wood areas and wood deposit size-distributions over the full spatio-temporal extent of the data. Areal extent of wood in the channel margin approximately doubled in the years following dam removal, with greatest increases in large wood in wider, lower-gradient sections. Large-wood deposition increased between the start of dam removal (2011) and winter 2013, then plateaued. Sediment bars continued to grow up until 2016/17, assisted by a partially static wood framework deposited predominantly during the period up to winter 2013.</p></div>","language":"English","publisher":"American Geophysical Union","doi":"10.1029/2024EA003544","usgsCitation":"Buscombe, D., Warrick, J.A., Ritchie, A., East, A.E., McHenry, M., McCoy,

Large populations are exposed and susceptible to physical and social factors that can leave them with precarious access to sufficient water supplies. Consideration of social issues by water managers can help ensure equitable supply. However, how social factors affect water insecurity conditions remains unclear. This paper reviews literature on how social vulnerability influences water insecurity in the western United States. Through a meta-analysis, indicators measuring how dimensions of social vulnerability influence water insecurity were classified and hierarchical clustering was used to characterize the relationships among these vulnerability dimensions for the largest water-users—the agricultural and municipal sectors. The study then assessed uncertainty associated with social vulnerability dimensions and their indicators. There is greatest evidence for the influence of demographic characteristics, socioeconomic status, and exposure. Indicators of these determinants were mainly significant and exacerbated conditions of water insecurity. Evidence for indicators of social dependence and special needs populations was limited, although studies assessing these factors showed significant agreement on their influence on water insecurity. Conceptual framings of social vulnerability and water security determined which indicators were measured, whereas studies of the water-use sectors focused on differing associations of social vulnerability. These findings indicate the importance of recognizing the different contexts posed by water-use sectors and diverse conceptual framings. Further, some determinants such as living conditions remain important but underexplored drivers of a community's experience of water insecurity. Understanding the uncertainty associated with these measures has implications to equitable decision making.</p></div>","language":"English","publisher":"American Geophysical Union","doi":"10.1029/2023WR036284","usgsCitation":"Drakes, O.O., Restrepo-Osorio, D., Powlen, K., and Hines, M., 2024, Social vulnerability and water insecurity in the western US: A systematic review of framings, indicators, and uncertainty: Water Resources Research, v. 60, no. 8, e2023WR036284, 23 p., https://doi.org/10.1029/2023WR036284.","productDescription":"e2023WR036284, 23 p.","ipdsId":"IP-153279","costCenters":[{"id":677,"text":"Wisconsin Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":37316,"text":"WMA - Integrated Information Dissemination Division","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":48595,"text":"Oklahoma-Texas Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":439202,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1029/2023wr036284","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":433148,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"60","issue":"8","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2024-08-22","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Drakes, Oronde Oliver 0000-0002-1047-1389","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1047-1389","contributorId":328832,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Drakes","given":"Oronde","email":"","middleInitial":"Oliver","affiliations":[{"id":37316,"text":"WMA - Integrated Information Dissemination Division","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":911533,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Restrepo-Osorio, Diana 0000-0003-4230-0055 drestrepo-osorio@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4230-0055","contributorId":189352,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Restrepo-Osorio","given":"Diana","email":"drestrepo-osorio@usgs.gov","affiliations":[],"preferred":true,"id":911534,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Powlen, Kathryn 0000-0002-9685-0063","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9685-0063","contributorId":328833,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Powlen","given":"Kathryn","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":48595,"text":"Oklahoma-Texas Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":911535,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Hines, Megan 0000-0002-9845-4849 mhines@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9845-4849","contributorId":4783,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Hines","given":"Megan","email":"mhines@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":160,"text":"Center for Integrated Data Analytics","active":false,"usgs":true},{"id":574,"text":"St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":677,"text":"Wisconsin Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":5054,"text":"Office of Water Information","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":911536,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4}]}}

A steady-state model version of the model simulates equilibrium conditions, and a transient model version simulates monthly variability. The model corresponds to the physical and temporal dimensions of the conceptual model and groundwater budget. The steady-state model version represents average conditions for an 11-year period (January 1, 2005–December 31, 2015), and the transient model represents monthly hydrologic variability within that period. The 13-layer model was constructed using MODFLOW-NWT with a uniformly spaced grid consisting of 416 rows, 433 columns, and cells with a horizontal dimension of 500 feet (ft) on a side.</p><p>The model was calibrated to measured values of water levels in wells and lakes and estimated base flow for selected streamflow measurement stations, commonly referred to as streamgages. Model calibration was accomplished using a combination of manual and automatic methods, including the Model-Independent Parameter Estimation (PEST) program that adjusted model input parameters with the aim of minimizing the difference between estimated and model-simulated values of hydraulic head and base flow.</p><p>Model boundary conditions consist of all simulated groundwater inflow to and outflow from the AMA. For example, a stream reach that simulates a gain from or loss to groundwater is a boundary condition that allows water to exit or enter, respectively, the groundwater system. Other boundary conditions include springs, seeps, precipitation recharge, groundwater exchange with lakes and Puget Sound, and groundwater pumping. A comparison of the estimated groundwater budget to that simulated by the steady-state model version indicates that the relative percentages of total inflow or total outflow for six major categories of boundary conditions are similar for the two budgets.</p><p>The model was used to simulate three suites of scenarios of potential drought and water-use changes. Scenario 1 suite consisted of the steady-state model version that was run with 0, 15, 20, and 25 percent reduction of precipitation recharge to assess the corresponding reductions in base flow with decreasing recharge. The last simulation for the scenario 1 suite consisted of the transient model version simulating 3 years of consecutive seasonal drought, defined by the months of May through September, to assess the corresponding base-flow reductions. Scenario 2 suite consisted of the steady-state model version with all simulated groundwater use removed, compared with a simulation that includes current groundwater use to evaluate changes to potentiometric surfaces and base flows. Scenario 3 suite consisted of a transient model version of the model that simulated pumping increases for four different categories of water-supply wells (compared to no pumping increases) to evaluate resulting reductions in base flow. Although, these scenarios provide examples of model applications and useful insights, many other scenarios could be simulated. A description of how to download the model is described in the body of this report.</p><p>Uncertainty is associated with most model inputs. Groundwater levels, lake levels, and land-surface altitudes are relatively certain; other model inputs are far less certain, including precipitation recharge, base flow, hydraulic properties, water use, and the three-dimensional structure of subsurface hydrogeologic units. Models are useful not because of high levels of accuracy of all model inputs, but because they combine the best information and estimates available, thereby providing the best predictions available related to physical processes.</p><p>The model described in this report simulates groundwater flow on a regional scale, which has inherent limitations for simulating hydrologic scenarios at local scales. Model structures and inputs were generalized to be consistent with this regional scale. For example, the actual groundwater system has much greater heterogeneity of hydraulic conductivity than is possible within the model’s degrees of freedom. Variations in hydraulic gradients over distances less than 500 ft cannot be simulated. The distances between model features, such as a pumping well and a stream, must be placed at 500-ft intervals and are co-located if both features are within the same model cell.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","publisherLocation":"Reston, VA","doi":"10.3133/sir20245026v2","collaboration":"Prepared in cooperation with the Cities of Auburn, Milton, Puyallup, Sumner, and Tacoma; Pierce Conservation District; Pierce County Public Works; Washington State Department of Health; Washington State Department of Ecology; Thurston County Public Utility District; Cascade Water Alliance; Lakehaven Utility District; Lakewood Water District; Firgrove Mutual Water Company; Fruitland Mutual Water Company; Spanaway Water Company; Summit Water & Supply Company; and Mt.

The 887-square-mile AMA, located in King and Pierce Counties, represents the area of analysis for the conceptual hydrogeologic framework and numerical groundwater-flow models within the study area and includes the Puyallup River and Chambers-Clover Creek watersheds. To assess the potential hydrologic and anthropogenic impacts to groundwater and the connected surface-water resources, conceptual and numerical groundwater-flow models of groundwater flow were developed by the U.S. Geological Survey Washington Water Science Center in close cooperation with 18 water-resource agencies and stakeholders.</p><p>This report presents information used to characterize the groundwater-flow system and the development of a numerical model in the AMA. Included are descriptions of the geology and conceptual hydrogeologic framework, groundwater levels and flow directions, groundwater recharge and discharge, numerical groundwater-flow model construction and results, and model limitations. The study area encompasses the western part of Pierce County and the southwestern part of King County, Washington. The study area extends south to the Nisqually River, southwest to Tanwax Creek, northeast to the Green River, and north through the valley near Auburn and adjacent uplands. It is bounded on the east by foothills of the Cascade Range, and on the northwest by Puget Sound.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","publisherLocation":"Reston, VA","doi":"10.3133/sir20245026v1","collaboration":"Prepared in cooperation with the Cities of Auburn, Milton, Puyallup, Sumner, and Tacoma; Pierce Conservation District; Pierce County Public Works; Washington State Department of Health; Washington State Department of Ecology; Thurston County Public Utility District; Cascade Water Alliance; Lakehaven Utility District; Lakewood Water District; Firgrove Mutual Water Company; Fruitland Mutual Water Company; Spanaway Water Company; Summit Water & Supply Company; and Mt.

We investigated the impact of submerged macrophyte coverage on trout habitat in the Henrys Fork of the Snake River, Idaho, USA. We hypothesized that higher submerged macrophyte coverage would create new habitat types beneficial for trout growth. We assessed river physical and biotic attributes, trout habitat preferences, and estimated trout growth potential with bioenergetics models across a gradient of submerged macrophyte coverage (32–94%). We identified four distinct habitat types within the riverscape shaped by submerged macrophyte coverage. Increased submerged macrophyte coverage increased the frequency of habitat types with higher trout growth potential but reduced the occurrence of preferred habitat types. We observed no relationship between reach-scale trout growth potential and submerged macrophyte coverage. However, an outlier of very high trout growth potential at 94% submerged macrophyte coverage suggests a potential threshold effect. More study is required but our observations suggest macrophyte growth homogenized physical habitat characteristics, reduced flow velocities, and increased invertebrate drift, thereby enhancing trout growth potential. Our findings underscore the complex interplay between submerged macrophytes and trout habitat dynamics across scales, emphasizing the importance of considering both physical and biological effects on trout habitat.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Springer","doi":"10.1007/s10750-024-05671-7","usgsCitation":"McLaren, J.S., Van Kirk, R.W., Budy, P., and Brothers, S., 2024, The reach-scale biogeomorphic effect of submerged macrophytes on trout habitat suitability: Hydrobiologia, v. 851, p. 5167-5180, https://doi.org/10.1007/s10750-024-05671-7.","productDescription":"14 p.","startPage":"5167","endPage":"5180","ipdsId":"IP-157131","costCenters":[{"id":200,"text":"Coop Res Unit Seattle","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":485716,"rank":1,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Idaho","otherGeospatial":"Henrys Fork, Snake River","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -111.18272502007463,\n              44.565942435149395\n            ],\n            [\n              -111.69541678783352,\n              44.565942435149395\n            ],\n            [\n              -111.69541678783352,\n              44.271529079239684\n            ],\n            [\n              -111.18272502007463,\n              44.271529079239684\n            ],\n            [\n              -111.18272502007463,\n              44.565942435149395\n            ]\n          ]\n        ],\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"851","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2024-08-21","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"McLaren, John S.","contributorId":337322,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"McLaren","given":"John","email":"","middleInitial":"S.","affiliations":[{"id":6682,"text":"Utah State University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":936626,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Van Kirk, Robert W.","contributorId":337326,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Van Kirk","given":"Robert","email":"","middleInitial":"W.","affiliations":[{"id":81016,"text":"Henrys Fork Foundation","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":936627,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Budy, Phaedra E. 0000-0002-9918-1678","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9918-1678","contributorId":228930,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Budy","given":"Phaedra E.","affiliations":[{"id":200,"text":"Coop Res Unit Seattle","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":936628,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Brothers, Soren","contributorId":339019,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Brothers","given":"Soren","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":81013,"text":"Department of Natural History","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":936629,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4}]}}

The 887-square-mile AMA, located in King and Pierce Counties, represents the area of analysis for the conceptual hydrogeologic framework and numerical groundwater-flow models within the study area and includes the Puyallup River and Chambers-Clover Creek watersheds. To assess the potential hydrologic and anthropogenic impacts to groundwater and the connected surface-water resources, conceptual and numerical groundwater-flow models of groundwater flow were developed by the U.S. Geological Survey Washington Water Science Center in close cooperation with 18 water-resource agencies and stakeholders.</p><p>This multichapter volume documents the development of the conceptual and numerical groundwater-flow models of groundwater flow.

Several approaches have recently been developed to evaluate population genetic trends without necessarily collecting new genetic data. Such “genetic diversity indicators” enable rapid, large-scale evaluation across dozens to thousands of species. Empirical genetic studies, when available, provide detailed information that is important for management, such as estimates of gene flow, inbreeding, genetic erosion and adaptation. In this article, we argue that the development and advancement of genetic diversity indicators is a complementary approach to genetic studies in conservation biology, but not a substitute. Genetic diversity indicators and empirical genetic data can provide different information for conserving genetic diversity. Genetic diversity indicators enable affordable tracking, reporting, prioritization and communication, although, being proxies, do not provide comprehensive evaluation of the genetic status of a species. Conversely, genetic methods offer detailed analysis of the genetic status of a given species or population, although they remain challenging to implement for most species globally, given current capacity and resourcing. We conclude that indicators and genetic studies are both important for genetic conservation actions and recommend they be used in combination for conserving and monitoring genetic diversity.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Springer","doi":"10.1007/s10592-024-01632-8","usgsCitation":"Hoban, S.M., Paz-Vinas, I., Shaw, R.E., Castillo-Reina, L., da Silva, J.M., DeWoody, J., Ekblom, R., Fedorca, A., Forester, B.R., Funk, W., Geue, J.C., Heuertz, M., Hollingsworth, P.M., Hughes, A.C., Hunter, M., Hvilsom, C., Ishihama, F., Jordan, R., Kalamujic Stroil, B., Kershaw, F., Khoury, C.K., Koppa, V., Laikre, L., MacDonald, A.J., Mastretta-Yanes, A., Meek, M.H., Mergeay, J., Millette, K.L., O'Brien, D., Rincon-Parra, V.J., Rodriguez-Morales, M., Schuman, M.C., Segelbacher, G., Sunnucks, P., Taylor, R., Thurfjell, H., Vernesi, C., and Grueber, C.E., 2024, DNA-based studies and genetic diversity indicator assessments are complementary approaches to conserving evolutionary potential: Conservation Genetics, v. 25, p. 1147-1153, https://doi.org/10.1007/s10592-024-01632-8.","productDescription":"7 p.","startPage":"1147","endPage":"1153","ipdsId":"IP-160562","costCenters":[{"id":17705,"text":"Wetland and Aquatic Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":439203,"rank":1,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s10592-024-01632-8","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":433496,"rank":2,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"25","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2024-08-21","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Hoban, Sean M. 0000-0002-0348-8449","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0348-8449","contributorId":206582,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Hoban","given":"Sean","email":"","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[{"id":37343,"text":"The Morton Arboretum","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":912310,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Paz-Vinas, Ivan","contributorId":239614,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Paz-Vinas","given":"Ivan","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":47934,"text":"Laboratoire Ecologie Fonctionnelle et Environnement, Université de Toulouse","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":912311,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Shaw, Robyn E.","contributorId":260838,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Shaw","given":"Robyn","email":"","middleInitial":"E.","affiliations":[{"id":52690,"text":"Environmental and Conservation Sciences, Murdoch University, Perth, Australia","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":912312,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Castillo-Reina, Luis","contributorId":340272,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Castillo-Reina","given":"Luis","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":81533,"text":"Department of Biology, Faculty of Science, KU Leuven","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":912313,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"da Silva, Jessica M.","contributorId":290139,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"da Silva","given":"Jessica","email":"","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[{"id":62352,"text":"South African National Biodiversity Institute, Kirstenbosch Research Centre, Rhodes Drive, Private Bag X7, 7735 Cape Town, South Africa","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":912314,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"DeWoody, J.

Additionally, our modeled relationships indicate restoration that increases grass cover, sagebrush cover, and bare ground, while maintaining pinyon and (or) juniper cover, may lead to increased local densities of<span>&nbsp;</span><i>G. cyanocephalus</i>.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"Oxford University Press","doi":"10.1093/ornithapp/duae036","usgsCitation":"Van Lanen, N.J., Monroe, A., and Aldridge, C.L., 2024, Despite regional variation, Gymnorhinus cyanocephalus (Pinyon Jay) densities generally increase with local pinyon–juniper cover and heterogeneous ground cover: Ornithological Applications, v. 126, no. 4, duae036, https://doi.org/10.1093/ornithapp/duae036.","productDescription":"duae036","ipdsId":"IP-158852","costCenters":[{"id":291,"text":"Fort Collins Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":439204,"rank":1,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1093/ornithapp/duae036","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":433154,"rank":2,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"126","issue":"4","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2024-08-21","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Van Lanen, Nicholas J. 0000-0003-0871-0261","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0871-0261","contributorId":302927,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Van Lanen","given":"Nicholas","email":"","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[{"id":291,"text":"Fort Collins Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":911621,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Monroe, Adrian P. 0000-0003-0934-8225 amonroe@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0934-8225","contributorId":152209,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Monroe","given":"Adrian P.","email":"amonroe@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":291,"text":"Fort Collins Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":911622,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Aldridge, Cameron L. 0000-0003-3926-6941 aldridgec@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3926-6941","contributorId":191773,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Aldridge","given":"Cameron","email":"aldridgec@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[{"id":291,"text":"Fort Collins Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":911623,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3}]}}
