Groups of captive canvasbacks were maintained ad libitum on 5 diets during the winters of 1978-79 and 1979-80 to evaluate the effects of varying protein and energy levels on feed intake and condition. Feed intake during the 1979-80 winter was 42% greater for those ducks fed the low energy (1,543 kcal/kg) diet than for those fed the high energy (3,638 kcal/kg) diet. Canvasbacks fed the high energy diet, however, consumed 317 kcal/bird day, whereas those fed the low energy diet consumed only 191 kcal/bird day. Body weight of males and females did not differ among groups fed different diets, but there were seasonal differences (P &lt; 0.05) for both sexes aggregated across diets. Data from this study indicate that canvasbacks may be unable to adjust intake rates to compensate for low energy foods and subsequently may store less fat or modify behavior. However, decreased weight, feed intake, and activity of ducks fed ad libitum rations occurred in mid-winter irrespective of diet quality and appeared to be an endogenous component of their annual cycle that persists in captivity. These changes apparently have a selective advantage of increasing the probability of survival in ducks by decreasing energy expenditure during periods of winter stress.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"Wiley","doi":"10.2307/3801099","usgsCitation":"Perry, M.C., Kuenzel, W.J., Williams, B., and Serafin, J.A., 1986, Influence of nutrients on feed intake and condition of captive canvasbacks in winter: Journal of Wildlife Management, v. 50, no. 3, p. 427-434, https://doi.org/10.2307/3801099.","productDescription":"8 p.","startPage":"427","endPage":"434","costCenters":[{"id":531,"text":"Patuxent Wildlife Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":198245,"rank":1,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Maryland, Virginia","otherGeospatial":"Chesapeake Bay","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -76.9056310119169,\n              39.434544016064905\n            ],\n            [\n              -76.9056310119169,\n              37.278653192409806\n            ],\n            [\n              -75.62731068827503,\n              37.278653192409806\n            ],\n            [\n              -75.62731068827503,\n              39.434544016064905\n            ],\n            [\n              -76.9056310119169,\n              39.434544016064905\n            ]\n          ]\n        ],\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"50","issue":"3","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e49c2e4b07f02db5d3d7e","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Perry, Matthew C. mperry@usgs.gov","contributorId":429,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Perry","given":"Matthew","email":"mperry@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"C.","affiliations":[{"id":531,"text":"Patuxent Wildlife Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":335507,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Kuenzel, Wayne J.","contributorId":15723,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Kuenzel","given":"Wayne","email":"","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":335506,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Williams, Byron K.","contributorId":146540,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Williams","given":"Byron K.","affiliations":[{"id":205,"text":"Cooperative Research Units","active":false,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":335508,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Serafin, John A.","contributorId":11292,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Serafin","given":"John","email":"","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":335505,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4}]}}

However, species richness of fish communities is also correlated with lake size, and low‐pH lakes are often small. Thus, conclusions drawn from examination of fish community structure relative to spatial (among‐lake) variation in pH have been limited by uncertainties regarding the confounded effects of lake area. We used two statistical methods, analysis of covariance and a nonparametric blocked comparison test, to remove effects of lake area and compare fish species richness in low‐pH and high‐pH lakes. Data from six previous surveys of water chemistry and fish communities in lakes of Ontario and northern Wisconsin were examined. Lakes with low pH (≤6.0) contained significantly fewer fish species than lakes with high pH (&gt;6.0) when the effect of lake area was considered. A simple probabilistic model showed that the ability to detect differences in species richness is low when lake areas and the pool of potential colonizing species are small. We recommend the blocked comparison test for separating the effects of lake area and pH on species richness and urge critical examination of inferences based on analyses of fish communities in small lakes.</span></span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"American Fisheries Society","doi":"10.1577/1548-8659(1986)115<438:DPAFSR>2.0.CO;2","usgsCitation":"Rago, P., and Wiener, J., 1986, Does pH affect fish species richness when lake area is considered?: Transactions of the American Fisheries Society, v. 115, no. 3, p. 438-447, https://doi.org/10.1577/1548-8659(1986)115<438:DPAFSR>2.0.CO;2.","productDescription":"10 p.","startPage":"438","endPage":"447","costCenters":[{"id":606,"text":"Upper Midwest Environmental Sciences Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":199402,"rank":1,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"Canada, United States","state":"Ontario, Wisconsin","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -95.3428963904647,\n              53.05423207378681\n            ],\n            [\n              -95.06663345838915,\n              49.84198591717103\n            ],\n            [\n              -92.831369545566,\n              44.28539048218653\n            ],\n            [\n              -91.26927281398797,\n              43.44516557063929\n            ],\n            [\n              -90.8334214078222,\n              42.54490074252436\n            ],\n            [\n              -87.01410605822231,\n              42.440864659121644\n            ],\n            [\n              -86.01750679878438,\n              45.470368842993665\n            ],\n            [\n              -79.75120634729265,\n              46.52265612463563\n            ],\n            [\n              -79.53681665403423,\n              53.53264029553128\n            ],\n            [\n              -88.55944497110296,\n              57.09165271877964\n            ],\n            [\n              -95.3428963904647,\n              53.05423207378681\n            ]\n          ]\n        ],\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"115","issue":"3","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4a5ee4b07f02db633ddf","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Rago, P.J.","contributorId":50099,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Rago","given":"P.J.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":312899,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Wiener, J.G.","contributorId":44107,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Wiener","given":"J.G.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":312898,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}}

Areal dilatation was the dominant signal during this period, with rates of extension of several baselines reaching as high as 5 parts per million per annum during the summer of 1983.

Although snag (dead tree) densities were low (0.66/ha), the cavity-nesting guild included 7 species with densities ≤ 463 birds/100 ha.  This finding suggests that cavity nesters are not limited by snag densities.  Most (94.2%) of the nest substrate for cavity-nesting birds was provided by live trees with large, dead limbs (≥ 10 cm in diam).  Both total dead limb length and the number of trees with dead limbs were highly correlated (<i>P</i> < 0.001) with the number of cavities excavated.  Large trees (>55 cm in diam at breast ht [dbh]) and dead limbs 15-30 cm in diameter were preferred for cavity excavation.

Likelihood-ratio tests were conducted to determine the most suitable model. For mallards banded in autumn there was a negative relationship between physical condition and the probability of recovery.

The multicomponent system was simplified to two components by regarding all exchangeable cations other than strontium 90 as a single component. The binary ion-exchange parameter was a function of the variable, total ion concentration. A one-dimensional solute transport model was formulated to evaluate the time necessary for natural groundwater flow to remove the strontium 90 contamination plume from the groundwater system to the Pawcatuck River. The finite difference transport equations were solved sequentially for total ion concentrations, then strontium 90 concentrations. Clay-free quartz and feldspar sands at the study site have little potential for strontium 90 sorption, and high calcium, magnesium, and sodium concentrations compete for the few ion exchange sites. As the total ion concentration plume moves out of the system, ion exchange of strontium 90 increases, reducing the strontium 90 concentration in the groundwater. Cleanout times predicted using the binary ion exchange mechanism were about two thirds of those predicted using a constant distribution coefficient. It is suggested that this type of model can simulate solute transport more realistically in many groundwater systems where the total ion concentration is not constant.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"American Geophysical Union","doi":"10.1029/WR022i004p00519","usgsCitation":"Kipp, K.L., Stollenwerk, K.G., and Grove, D.B., 1986, Groundwater transport of strontium 90 in a glacial outwash environment: Water Resources Research, v. 22, no. 4, p. 519-530, https://doi.org/10.1029/WR022i004p00519.","productDescription":"12 p.

To help assess the value of using such models to make predictions, a postaudit was conducted on a previously studied area in the Salt River and lower Santa Cruz River basins in central Arizona. A deterministic, distributed-parameter model of the ground-water system in these alluvial basins was calibrated by Anderson (1968) using about 40 years of data (1923–64). The calibrated model was then used to predict future water-level changes during the next 10 years (1965–74). Examination of actual water-level changes in 77 wells from 1965–74 indicates a poor correlation between observed and predicted water-level changes. The differences have a mean of 73 ft that is, predicted declines consistently exceeded those observed and a standard deviation of 47 ft. The bias in the predicted water-level change can be accounted for by the large error in the assumed total pumpage during the prediction period. However, the spatial distribution of errors in predicted water-level change does not correlate with the spatial distribution of errors in pumpage. Consequently, the lack of precision probably is not related only to errors in assumed pumpage, but may indicate the presence of other sources of error in the model, such as the two-dimensional representation of a three-dimensional problem or the lack of consideration of land-subsidence processes. This type of postaudit is a valuable method of verifying a model, and an evaluation of predictive errors can provide an increased understanding of the system and aid in assessing the value of undertaking development of a revised model.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Wiley","doi":"10.1111/j.1745-6584.1986.tb00993.x","usgsCitation":"Konikow, L.F., 1986, Predictive accuracy of a ground-water model--Lessons from a postaudit: Groundwater, v. 24, no. 2, p. 173-184, https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1745-6584.1986.tb00993.x.","productDescription":"12 p.

First, there is a positive correlation between HI and OC in strata that contain more than about 1% OC. Second, percent OC and HI often are negatively correlated with carbon isotopic composition (σ&nbsp;</span><sup>13</sup><span>C) of kerogen.

Most of the σ&nbsp;<sup>13</sup>C values of Miocene to Holocene OC-rich strata and modern marine plankton are between −16 to −23‰.

A difference of about 5‰ in σ&nbsp;<sup>13</sup>C between modern and Cretaceous OC-rich marine strata suggests either that Cretaceous marine planktonic organic matter had the same isotopic signature as modern marine plankton and that signature has been changed by diagenesis, or that OC derived from Cretaceous marine plankton was isotopically lighter by about 5‰ relative to modern plankton OC. Diagenesis does not produce a significant shift in σ&nbsp;<sup>13</sup>C in Miocene to Holocene sediments, and therefore probably did not produce the isotopically light Cretaceous OC.

Consequently, paleoceanographic signals were not recorded in detail in the carbonate contents. However, mass accumulation rates of carbonate increased in the late Miocene to mid-Pliocene, reflecting an increase in productivity, then abruptly decreased from mid-Pliocene to the present. Variations in relative abundances of coarse material (foraminifers) and fine material (mostly calcareous nannofossils) do reflect histories of current winnowing and biogenic productivity at the two sites. The late Miocene from 10.5 to 6.5 m.y. ago was a time of relatively constant, quiet, pelagic sedimentation with typical southwest Pacific sedimentation rates of 20-25 m/m.y. The average coarse-fraction abundances are always higher at Site 586 than at Site 591, which reflects winnowing at Site 586. These conditions were interrupted between 6.5 to 4.0 m.y. ago when increased upwelling at the Subtropical Divergence and the Equatorial Divergence produced greater productivity of calcareous planktonic organisms. The increased productivity is suggested by large increases in both fineand coarse-fraction material and constant ratios of foraminifers to nannofossils. The maximum of productivity was about 4.0 m.y. ago. This period of increased upwelling is coincident with the inferred development of the West Antarctic ice sheet. The high productivity was followed by an abrupt increase in winnowing about 2.5 m.y. ago at Site 591, but not until about 2.0 m.y. ago at Site 586. By 2.0 m.y. ago in the late Pliocene, quiet, pelagic sedimentation conditions prevailed, similar to those of the late Miocene. The last 0.7 m.y. has been a period of relatively intense winnowing on Lord Howe Rise but not on Ontong-Java Plateau. </p><p>The coarse-fraction data have both long- and short-period fluctuations. Long-period fluctuations at Site 591 average about 850 × 103 yr./cycle and those at Site 586 average 430 × 103 yr./cycle. The highest amplitudes are found in the Pliocene and Quaternary sections. The short-period fluctuations range from 100 to 48 × 103 yr./cycle at Site 586 and from 250 to 33 × 103 yr./cycle at Site 591.

A general, three-dimensional theory aimed at elucidating this process is developed from physical principles and field measurements of landslide behavior. The theory employs a versatile constitutive model that represents landslides as deformable bodies composed of frictional, nonlinear viscoplastic material. The three-dimensional theory is reduced to a mathematically tracTable form by defining an ideal landslide datum state that consists of steady, unidirectional shear flow driven by ground-water seepage and gravitational forces. Solution of the datum-state equation of motion yields vertical landslide velocity profiles that can represent deformation styles ranging from shear-thickening viscoplastic flow to perfectly plastic frictional slip. This range of theoretical profiles encompasses the range of profiles measured in four persistently active northern California landslides. Also obtained from the datum-state equation of motion is an analytical solution for datum-state landslide sediment fluxes. An important feature of this solution is that it represents theoretical landslide sediment fluxes as a family of continuous-functions. The solution thus provides a mathematical basis for a general perturbation analysis of the kinematics of unsteady, nonuniform landslide motion, which will be presented in a companion paper in a subsequent issue of the Journal.</p></div></div></div></div>","language":"English","publisher":"University of Chicago Press","doi":"10.1086/629006","usgsCitation":"Iverson, R.M., 1986, Unsteady, nonuniform landslide motion: 1.

Traditionally, campsite impact studies have compared campsites receiving various levels of use with unused control areas. Field studies in Sequoia National Park, California, indicate that the degree of impact to vegetation and soils also varies within campsites. The central areas of campsites, where trampling is concentrated, show lower plant species diversity, differences in relative species cover, more highly compacted soils, and lower soil nutrient concentrations than do peripheral, moderately trampled, and untrampled areas within the same campsite. Three years after closure to visitor use, the central areas show less increase in mean foliar plant cover, and soils remain more highly compacted than in previously moderately trampled areas of the same sites. Changes in relative species cover over time are used to assess both resiliency to trampling and species composition recovery within campsites closed to visitor use.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Environmental Management","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"Springer-Verlag","publisherLocation":"New York, NY","doi":"10.1007/BF01867262","usgsCitation":"Stohlgren, T.J., and Parsons, D.J., 1986, Vegetation and soil recovery in wilderness campsites closed to visitor use: Environmental Management, v. 10, no. 3, p. 375-380, https://doi.org/10.1007/BF01867262.","productDescription":"6 p.","startPage":"375","endPage":"380","numberOfPages":"6","costCenters":[],"links":[{"id":292777,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":292776,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.1007/BF01867262"}],"country":"United States","state":"California","otherGeospatial":"Sequoia National Park","geographicExtents":"{ \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\", \"features\": [ { \"type\": \"Feature\", \"properties\": {}, \"geometry\": { \"type\": \"Polygon\", \"coordinates\": [ [ [ -118.919577,36.291376 ], [ -118.919577,36.70081 ], [ -118.234767,36.70081 ], [ -118.234767,36.291376 ], [ -118.919577,36.291376 ] ] ] } } ] }","volume":"10","issue":"3","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"53f707e7e4b05ec1f2431c47","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Stohlgren, Thomas J. 0000-0001-9696-4450 stohlgrent@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9696-4450","contributorId":2902,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Stohlgren","given":"Thomas","email":"stohlgrent@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[{"id":291,"text":"Fort Collins Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":499013,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Parsons, David J.","contributorId":39249,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Parsons","given":"David","email":"","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":499014,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}}

Direct observations and fecal analysis revealed a relatively definable pattern of habitat use by the bears.  Habitat data were subsequently used to develop management models and explore the relationships between grizzlies and park visitors.  Current research strategy is based on the concept that humans are an integral components of grizzly bear habitat.  A geographic information system is being developed to assist in the application of habitat data.  In addition, the behavioral response of grizzlies to annual changes in food production is being studied.  Management that addresses bears, humans, and their habitat as a system is proposed.","largerWorkType":{"id":18,"text":"Report"},"largerWorkTitle":"USDA Forest Service General Technical Report Proceedings: Grizzly Bear Habitat Symposium","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":1,"text":"Federal Government Series"},"conferenceTitle":"Grizzly Bear Habitat Symposium","conferenceDate":"1985-04-29T00:00:00","conferenceLocation":"Missoula, MT","language":"English","publisher":"Intermountain Research Station","publisherLocation":"Ogden, UT","usgsCitation":"Martinka, C., and Kendall, K., 1986, Grizzly bear habitat research in Glacier National Park, Montana, 5 p.","productDescription":"5 p.","numberOfPages":"5","costCenters":[],"links":[{"id":292759,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Montana","otherGeospatial":"Glacier National Park","geographicExtents":"{ \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\", \"features\": [ { \"type\": \"Feature\", \"properties\": {}, \"geometry\": { \"type\": \"Polygon\", \"coordinates\": [ [ [ -114.4755,48.2337 ], [ -114.4755,49.001 ], [ -113.242,49.001 ], [ -113.242,48.2337 ], [ -114.4755,48.2337 ] ] ] } } ] }","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"53f707dde4b05ec1f2431be2","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Martinka, C.J.","contributorId":51418,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Martinka","given":"C.J.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":498996,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Kendall, K.C.","contributorId":39716,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Kendall","given":"K.C.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":498995,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}}
