The purpose of our study was to determine whether otoliths displayed interpretable marks that might be used for estimating age and growth. Otoliths exhibited alternating bands of opaque and translucent material. Kendall rank correlation between number of bands on otoliths and length of fish were high for two readers (τ = 0.65 and 0.79) and exact agreement between readers was 51%. Otoliths exhibited 0–5 bands, which provided evidence that longevity of Salt Creek pupfish likely is >1 year. Total length of fish collected in spring and autumn differed for fish with one and three bands on otoliths.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Southwestern Naturalist","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"Southwestern Association of Naturalists","publisherLocation":"http://www.biosurvey.ou.edu/swan/","doi":"10.1894/0038-4909-57.4.412","usgsCitation":"Dzul, M.C., Gaines, D.B., Fischer, J., Quist, M.C., and Dinsmore, S., 2012, Evaluation of otoliths Salt Creek pupfish (Cyprinodon salinus salinus) for use in analyses of age and growth: Southwestern Naturalist, v. 57, no. 4, p. 412-416, https://doi.org/10.1894/0038-4909-57.4.412.","productDescription":"5 p.","startPage":"412","endPage":"416","ipdsId":"IP-030807","costCenters":[{"id":342,"text":"Idaho Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit","active":false,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":269977,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":269976,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.1894/0038-4909-57.4.412"}],"country":"United States","state":"California","otherGeospatial":"Death Valley;Salt Creek","geographicExtents":"{ \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\", \"features\": [ { \"type\": \"Feature\", \"properties\": {}, \"geometry\": { \"type\": \"Polygon\", \"coordinates\": [ [ [ -117.3,35.8 ], [ -117.3,37.0 ], [ -116.5,37.0 ], [ -116.5,35.8 ], [ -117.3,35.8 ] ] ] } } ] }","volume":"57","issue":"4","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5150207ee4b08df5cb131364","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Dzul, Maria C. 0000-0002-4798-5930 mdzul@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4798-5930","contributorId":5469,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Dzul","given":"Maria","email":"mdzul@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"C.","affiliations":[{"id":568,"text":"Southwest Biological Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":351340,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Gaines, D.

The aim of this study was to better understand the details and timing of reproductive events in species of bats that die most frequently at wind turbines in North America, because such information can help inform conservation strategies. We examined the reproductive anatomy of hoary bats (Lasiurus cinereus), eastern red bats (L. borealis), and silver-haired bats (Lasionycteris noctivagans) found dead beneath industrial-scale wind turbines to learn more about when they mate. We evaluated 103 L. cinereus, 18 L. borealis, and 47 Ln. noctivagans from wind energy facilities in the United States and Canada. Histological analysis revealed that most male L. cinereus and L. borealis, as well as over half the Ln. noctivagans examined had sperm in the caudae epididymides by late August, indicating readiness to mate. Testes regression in male hoary bats coincided with enlargement of seminal vesicles and apparent growth of keratinized spines on the glans penis. Seasonality of these processes also suggests that mating could occur during August in L. cinereus. Spermatozoa were found in the uterus of an adult female hoary bat collected in September, but not in any other females. Ovaries of all females sampled had growing secondary or tertiary follicles, indicating sexual maturity even in first-year females. Lasiurus cinereus, L. borealis, and Ln. noctivagans are the only North American temperate bats in which most first-year young of both sexes are known to sexually mature in their first autumn. Our findings provide the first detailed information published on the seasonal timing of mating readiness in these species most affected by wind turbines.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"PLoS ONE","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"Public Library of Science","publisherLocation":"San Francisco, CA","doi":"10.1371/journal.pone.0047586","usgsCitation":"Cryan, P., Jameson, J., Baerwald, E., Willis, C., Barclay, R., Snider, E., and Crichton, E., 2012, Evidence of late-summer mating readiness and early sexual maturation in migratory tree-roosting bats found dead at wind turbines: PLoS ONE, v. 7, no. 10, e47586; 9 p., https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0047586.","productDescription":"e47586; 9 p.","ipdsId":"IP-032115","costCenters":[{"id":291,"text":"Fort Collins Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":474295,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0047586","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":269983,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":269981,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0047586"}],"country":"United States;Canada","geographicExtents":"{ \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\", \"features\": [ { \"type\": \"Feature\", \"properties\": {}, \"geometry\": { \"type\": \"Polygon\", \"coordinates\": [ [ [ 172.5,18.9 ], [ 172.5,74.8 ], [ -52.2,74.8 ], [ -52.2,18.9 ], [ 172.5,18.9 ] ] ] } } ] }","volume":"7","issue":"10","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2012-10-19","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"515171ede4b087909f0bbe98","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Cryan, P.M.","contributorId":82635,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Cryan","given":"P.M.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":352146,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Jameson, J.W.","contributorId":99443,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Jameson","given":"J.W.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":352147,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Baerwald, E.F.","contributorId":30886,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Baerwald","given":"E.F.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":352142,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Willis, C.K.R.","contributorId":36434,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Willis","given":"C.K.R.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":352143,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Barclay, R.M.R.","contributorId":107943,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Barclay","given":"R.M.R.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":352148,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Snider, E.A.","contributorId":63281,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Snider","given":"E.A.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":352144,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6},{"text":"Crichton, E.G.","contributorId":68620,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Crichton","given":"E.G.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":352145,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":7}]}}

We examined bird species richness, community density and community evenness in forests of eastern Connecticut to determine whether: 1) spatial and seasonal patterns exist in diversity, 2) energy explains the greatest proportion of variation in diversity parameters, 3) variation in habitat explains remaining diversity variance, and 4) seasonal shifts in diversity provide clues about how environmental variables shape communities. We sought to discover if our data supported predictions of the species–energy hypothesis. We used the variable circular plot technique to estimate bird populations and quantified the location, elevation, forest type, vegetation type, canopy cover, moisture regime, understory density and primary production for the study sites. We found that 1) summer richness and population densities are roughly equal in northeastern and southeastern Connecticut, whereas in winter both concentrate toward the coast, 2) variables linked with temperature explained much of the patterns in winter diversity, but energy-related variables showed little relationship to summer diversity, 3) the effect of habitat variables on diversity parameters predominated in summer, although their effect was weak, 4) contrary to theory, evenness increased from summer to winter, and 5) support for predictions of species–energy theory was primarily restricted to winter data. Although energy and habitat played a role in explaining community patterns, they left much of the variance in regional diversity unexplained, suggesting that a large stochastic component to diversity also may exist.","language":"English","publisher":"Wiley","doi":"10.1111/j.1600-0587.2012.07790.x","usgsCitation":"Craig, R., and Klaver, R.W., 2012, Factors influencing geographic patterns in diversity of forest bird communities of eastern Connecticut, USA: Ecography, v. 36, no. 5, p. 599-609, https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1600-0587.2012.07790.x.","productDescription":"11 p.","startPage":"599","endPage":"609","ipdsId":"IP-021424","costCenters":[{"id":199,"text":"Coop Res Unit Leetown","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":474272,"rank":2,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://lib.dr.iastate.edu/nrem_pubs/213","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":274137,"rank":1,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Connecticut","geographicExtents":"{ \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\", \"features\": [ { \"type\": \"Feature\", \"properties\": {}, \"geometry\": { \"type\": \"Polygon\", \"coordinates\": [ [ [ -73.73,40.99 ], [ -73.73,42.05 ], [ -71.79,42.05 ], [ -71.79,40.99 ], [ -73.73,40.99 ] ] ] } } ] }","volume":"36","issue":"5","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"51cabbe0e4b0d298e5434c34","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Craig, Robert J.","contributorId":79781,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Craig","given":"Robert J.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":349660,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Klaver, Robert W. 0000-0002-3263-9701 bklaver@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3263-9701","contributorId":3285,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Klaver","given":"Robert","email":"bklaver@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"W.","affiliations":[{"id":199,"text":"Coop Res Unit Leetown","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":222,"text":"Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":349659,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}}

During our study, we assessed the effectiveness of the mitigation measures in reducing mule deer mortality in the following ways: 1) we compared the number of deer-vehicle collisions in the newly fenced area with a control area without fencing; 2) we analyzed the ‘end-of-the-fence’ problem, defined here as increased mortality of mule deer at the ends of the 2.4-m high exclusion fences; and 3) we evaluated the frequency of animal crossings of the new underpasses using remotely-sensed cameras and compared them with crossing frequency rates for a 20-year-old control underpass. We compared six years of pre-construction mortality (during 1998-2003) with two years of post-construction data on mortality (during 2005-2006) and found a 98.5% decline in deer mortalities in the treatment (i.e. fenced, jump-outs and underpasses) vs a 2.9% decline in the control (i.e. no fences, no jump-outs and no underpasses). We detected no end-of-the-fence problems related to deer mortality. Migratory movements during fall and spring were clearly reflected in the use of underpass. Overall results demonstrated that the mitigation strategy was effective and reduced the number of deer-vehicle accidents, while allowing wildlife movement across the landscape.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Wildlife Biology","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"Nordic Board for Wildlife Research","doi":"10.2981/11-122","usgsCitation":"Bissonette, J.A., and Rosa, S., 2012, An evaluation of a mitigation strategy for deer-vehicle collisions: Wildlife Biology, v. 18, no. 4, p. 414-423, https://doi.org/10.2981/11-122.","productDescription":"10 p.","startPage":"414","endPage":"423","ipdsId":"IP-023476","costCenters":[{"id":609,"text":"Utah Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit","active":false,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":273445,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":273444,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.2981/11-122"}],"volume":"18","issue":"4","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"51b300e2e4b01368e589e3c6","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Bissonette, John A.","contributorId":15503,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Bissonette","given":"John","email":"","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":348847,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Rosa, Silvia","contributorId":10706,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Rosa","given":"Silvia","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":348846,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}}

An M. cerebralis-resistant strain of rainbow trout, the German Rainbow (GR), and a wild, susceptible strain of rainbow trout, the Colorado River Rainbow (CRR), were spawned to create 3 intermediate crossed populations (an F1 cross, F2 intercross, and a B2 backcross between the F1 and the CRR). Within each strain or cross, h<sup>2</sup></sub>b</sub> was estimated from the between-family variance of myxospore counts using full-sibling families. Estimates of h<sup>2</sup></sub>b</sub> and average myxospore counts were lowest in the GR strain, F1 cross, and F2 intercross (h<sup>2</sup></sub>b</sub> = 0.34, 0.42, and 0.34; myxospores fish<sup>−1</sup> = 275, 9566, and 45780, respectively), and highest in the B2 backcross and CRR strain (h<sup>2</sup></sub>b</sub> = 0.93 and 0.89; myxospores fish<sup>−1</sup> = 97865 and 187595, respectively). Comparison of means and a joint-scaling test suggest that resistance alleles arising from the GR strain are dominant to susceptible alleles from the CRR strain. Resistance was retained in the intermediate crosses but decreased as filial generation number increased (F2) or backcrossing occurred (B2). The estimated number of segregating loci responsible for differences in myxospore count in the parental strains was 9 ± 5. Our results indicate that resistance to M. cerebralis is a heritable trait within these populations and would respond to either artificial selection in hatcheries or natural selection in the wild.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Diseases of Aquatic Organisms","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"Inter-Research","doi":"10.3354/dao02543","usgsCitation":"Fetherman, E.R., Winkelman, D.L., Schisler, G.J., and Antolin, M.F., 2012, Genetic basis of differences in myxospore count between whirling disease-resistant and -susceptible strains of rainbow trout: Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, v. 102, no. 2, p. 97-106, https://doi.org/10.3354/dao02543.","productDescription":"10 p.","startPage":"97","endPage":"106","ipdsId":"IP-031156","costCenters":[{"id":189,"text":"Colorado Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit","active":false,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":474299,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.3354/dao02543","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":274182,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":274169,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.3354/dao02543"}],"volume":"102","issue":"2","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"51cabbe1e4b0d298e5434c38","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Fetherman, Eric R.","contributorId":15096,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Fetherman","given":"Eric","email":"","middleInitial":"R.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":351664,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Winkelman, Dana L. 0000-0002-5247-0114 danaw@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5247-0114","contributorId":4141,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Winkelman","given":"Dana","email":"danaw@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[{"id":200,"text":"Coop Res Unit Seattle","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":351663,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Schisler, George J.","contributorId":32432,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Schisler","given":"George","email":"","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":351665,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Antolin, Michael F.","contributorId":85469,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Antolin","given":"Michael","email":"","middleInitial":"F.","affiliations":[{"id":6998,"text":"Department of Biology, Colorado State University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":351666,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4}]}}

At sites where PVC antennas are frequently damaged, HDPE is a durable and economical alternative for PIT antenna construction.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"American Fisheries Society","doi":"10.1080/02755947.2012.655847","usgsCitation":"Kazyak, D.C., and Zydlewski, J.D., 2012, High-density polyethylene pipe: A new material for pass-by passive integrated transponder antennas: North American Journal of Fisheries Management, v. 32, no. 1, p. 49-52, https://doi.org/10.1080/02755947.2012.655847.","productDescription":"4 p.","startPage":"49","endPage":"52","onlineOnly":"N","additionalOnlineFiles":"N","ipdsId":"IP-031055","costCenters":[{"id":199,"text":"Coop Res Unit Leetown","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":321850,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"32","issue":"1","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":9,"text":"Reston PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2012-02-14","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"574d658fe4b07e28b66844ac","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Kazyak, David C. 0000-0001-9860-4045","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9860-4045","contributorId":140409,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Kazyak","given":"David","email":"","middleInitial":"C.","affiliations":[{"id":365,"text":"Leetown Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":630794,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Zydlewski, Joseph D. 0000-0002-2255-2303 jzydlewski@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2255-2303","contributorId":2004,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Zydlewski","given":"Joseph","email":"jzydlewski@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"D.","affiliations":[{"id":199,"text":"Coop Res Unit Leetown","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":198,"text":"Coop Res Unit Atlanta","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":365,"text":"Leetown Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":630706,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}}

Although there is usually meticulous effort to precisely and consistently measure habitat characteristics, accuracy of methods for estimating which areas are used versus which are unused by birds remains generally untested. To examine accuracy of spot-mapping to identify singing territories of golden-winged warblers (</span><i>Vermivora chrysoptera</i><span>), which are considered an early successional forest specialists, we used spot-mapping and radiotelemetry to record song perches and delineate song territories for breeding male golden-winged warblers in northwestern Minnesota, USA. We also used radiotelemetry to record locations (song and nonsong perches) of a subsample (</span><i>n</i><span>&thinsp;=&thinsp;12) of males throughout the day to delineate home ranges. We found that telemetry-based estimates of song territories were 3 times larger and included more mature forest than those estimated from spot-mapping. In addition, home ranges estimated using radiotelemetry included more mature forest than spot-mapping- and telemetry-based song territories, with 75% of afternoon perches located in mature forest. Our results suggest that mature forest comprises a larger component of golden-winged warbler song territories and home ranges than is indicated based on spot-mapping in Minnesota. Because it appears that standard observational methods can underestimate territory size and misidentify cover-type associations for golden-winged warblers, we caution that management and conservation plans may be misinformed, and that similar studies are needed for golden-winged warblers across their range and for other songbird species.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Wildlife Society","doi":"10.1002/wsb.118","usgsCitation":"Streby, H.M., Loegering, J.P., and Andersen, D., 2012, Spot-mapping underestimates song-territory size and use of mature forest by breeding golden-winged warblers in Minnesota, USA: Wildlife Society Bulletin, v. 36, no. 1, p. 40-46, https://doi.org/10.1002/wsb.118.","productDescription":"7 p.","startPage":"40","endPage":"46","onlineOnly":"N","additionalOnlineFiles":"N","ipdsId":"IP-028884","costCenters":[{"id":199,"text":"Coop Res Unit Leetown","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":500028,"rank":0,"type":{"id":41,"text":"Open Access External Repository Page"},"url":"https://doaj.org/article/180ccf0e05004db585b3ea68cd0f640b","text":"External Repository"},{"id":318064,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Minnesota","otherGeospatial":"Tamarac National Wildlife Refuge","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -95.71975708007811,\n              46.891170070059815\n            ],\n            [\n              -95.71975708007811,\n              47.09069560264967\n            ],\n            [\n              -95.53848266601562,\n              47.09069560264967\n            ],\n            [\n              -95.53848266601562,\n              46.891170070059815\n            ],\n            [\n              -95.71975708007811,\n              46.891170070059815\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"36","issue":"1","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":9,"text":"Reston PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2012-02-22","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"56c45656e4b0946c652185cf","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Streby, Henry M.","contributorId":11024,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Streby","given":"Henry","email":"","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[{"id":12455,"text":"University of Toledo","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":620378,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Loegering, John P.","contributorId":166933,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Loegering","given":"John","email":"","middleInitial":"P.","affiliations":[{"id":33353,"text":"University of Minnesota, Crookston","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":620379,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Andersen, David E. 0000-0001-9535-3404 dea@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9535-3404","contributorId":2168,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Andersen","given":"David E.","email":"dea@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":199,"text":"Coop Res Unit Leetown","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":34539,"text":"Minnesota Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":true,"id":620367,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3}]}}

This study is the first to confirm presence of&nbsp;<i>A. crassus</i>&nbsp;in the upper Potomac River watershed. We estimated&nbsp;<i>A. crassus</i>&nbsp;prevalence during 3 time periods: September to October 2006 (5/143 eels, 3.5%), August to October 2007 (0/49 eels), and June 2008 (0/50 eels). All eels were sampled from the Millville Dam eel ladder on the lower Shenandoah River, a Potomac River tributary located approximately 285 km upstream of Chesapeake Bay, USA. Of the 5 infected eels, parasite intensity was 1 for each eel, and mean intensity was also 1.0. A swim bladder degenerative index (SDI) was calculated for the 50 eels from the final sampling period, and 38% of those eels (19 of 50) showed signs of previous infection by&nbsp;<i>A. crassus</i>. We also aged 42 of the 50 eels (mean &plusmn; SE = 6.7 &plusmn; 0.29 yr, range 4 to 11 yr) from the final sampling period.

Mean predicted consumption was only 8.9% lower than mean observed consumption and was similar to error rates observed for largemouth bass consuming natural prey. Model evaluation showed that the 97.5% joint confidence region included the intercept of 0 (&minus;0.43 &plusmn; 3.65) and slope of 1 (1.08 &plusmn; 0.20), which indicates the model accurately predicted consumption. Moreover model error was similar among feeds (</span><i>P</i><span>&nbsp;= 0.98), and most error was probably attributable to sampling error (unconsumed feed), underestimated predator energy densities, or consumption-dependent error, which is common in bioenergetics models.

In West Virginia, WNS was first detected in the eastern portion of the state in 2009 and winter mortality was documented in 2009 and 2010. However, quantitative impacts on summer bat communities remained unknown. We compared &ldquo;historical&rdquo; (pre-WNS) capture records and reproductive rates from 11,734 bats captured during summer (15 May to 15 August) of 1997&ndash;2008 and 1,304 captures during 2010. We predicted that capture rates (number of individuals captured/net-night) would decrease in 2010. We also expected the energetic strain of WNS would cause delayed or reduced reproduction, as denoted by a greater proportion of pregnant or lactating females later in the summer and a lower relative proportion of juvenile captures in the mid&ndash;late summer. We found a dramatic decline in capture rates of little brown&nbsp;</span><i>Myotis lucifugus</i><span>, northern long-eared&nbsp;</span><i>M. septentrionalis</i><span>, small-footed&nbsp;</span><i>M. leibii</i><span>, Indiana&nbsp;</span><i>M. sodalis</i><span>, tri-colored&nbsp;</span><i>Perimyotis subflavus</i><span>, and hoary&nbsp;</span><i>Lasiurus cinereus</i><span>&nbsp;bats after detection of WNS in 2009. For these six species, 2010 capture rates were 10&ndash;37% of pre-WNS rates. Conversely, capture rates of big brown bats&nbsp;</span><i>Eptesicus fuscus</i><span>&nbsp;increased by 17% in 2010, whereas capture rates of eastern red bats&nbsp;</span><i>Lasiurus borealis</i><span>&nbsp;did not change. Together, big brown and eastern red bats were 58% of all 2010 captures but only 11% of pre-WNS captures. Reproductive data from 12,314 bats showed shifts in pregnancy and lactation dates, and an overall narrowing in the windows of time of each reproductive event, for northern-long-eared and little brown bats. Additionally, the proportion of juvenile captures declined in 2010 for these species. In contrast, lactation and pregnancy rates of big brown and eastern red bats, and the proportion of juveniles, were similar to historical patterns. Our results further elucidate the significance of short-term effects and provide a basis to examine long-term consequences of WNS.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"FWS Publications","doi":"10.3996/062011-JFWM-039","usgsCitation":"Francl, K.E., Ford, W.M., Sparks, D.W., and Brack, V., 2012, Capture and reproductive trends in summer bat communities in West Virginia: Assessing the impact of white-nose syndrome: Journal of Fish and Wildlife Management, v. 3, no. 1, p. 33-42, https://doi.org/10.3996/062011-JFWM-039.","productDescription":"10 p.","startPage":"33","endPage":"42","onlineOnly":"N","additionalOnlineFiles":"N","ipdsId":"IP-030616","costCenters":[{"id":199,"text":"Coop Res Unit Leetown","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":474121,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.3996/062011-jfwm-039","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":323292,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"3","issue":"1","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":9,"text":"Reston PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"575941c3e4b04f417c2567b6","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Francl, Karen E.","contributorId":171600,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Francl","given":"Karen","email":"","middleInitial":"E.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":638075,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Ford, W.

Understanding population genetic structure within a continuous population can give insights into social structure, movement across the landscape and contact between populations, which influence ecological interactions, reproductive dynamics or pathogen transmission. We investigated the genetic structure of a large population of deer spanning the area of Wisconsin and Illinois, USA, affected by chronic wasting disease. We combined multiscale investigation, landscape genetic techniques and spatial statistical modelling to address the complex questions of landscape factors influencing population structure. We sampled over 2000 deer and used spatial autocorrelation and a spatial principal components analysis to describe the population genetic structure. We evaluated landscape effects on this pattern using a spatial autoregressive model within a model selection framework to test alternative hypotheses about gene flow. We found high levels of genetic connectivity, with gradients of variation across the large continuous population of white-tailed deer. At the fine scale, spatial clustering of related animals was correlated with the amount and arrangement of forested habitat. At the broader scale, impediments to dispersal were important to shaping genetic connectivity within the population. We found significant barrier effects of individual state and interstate highways and rivers. Our results offer an important understanding of deer biology and movement that will help inform the management of this species in an area where overabundance and disease spread are primary concerns.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Wiley","doi":"10.1111/j.1365-294X.2012.05681.x","usgsCitation":"Robinson, S.J., Samuel, M.D., Lopez, D.L., and Shelton, P., 2012, The walk is never random: subtle landscape effects shape gene flow in a continuous white-tailed deer population in the Midwestern United States: Molecular Ecology, v. 21, no. 17, p. 4190-4205, https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-294X.2012.05681.x.","productDescription":"16 p.","startPage":"4190","endPage":"4205","onlineOnly":"N","additionalOnlineFiles":"N","ipdsId":"IP-035189","costCenters":[{"id":199,"text":"Coop Res Unit Leetown","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":323760,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Illinois, Wisconsin","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -90.977783203125,\n              41.918628865183045\n            ],\n            [\n              -90.977783203125,\n              43.731414013769\n            ],\n            [\n              -87.7642822265625,\n              43.731414013769\n            ],\n            [\n              -87.7642822265625,\n              41.918628865183045\n            ],\n            [\n              -90.977783203125,\n              41.918628865183045\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"21","issue":"17","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":9,"text":"Reston PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2012-08-07","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5763cdbae4b07657d19ba79a","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Robinson, Stacie J.","contributorId":172022,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Robinson","given":"Stacie","email":"","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[{"id":12508,"text":"Department of Forest and Wildlife Ecology, University of Wisconsin, 1710 University Ave., Room 285, Madison, WI 53726, USA","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":637243,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Samuel, Michael D. msamuel@usgs.gov","contributorId":1419,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Samuel","given":"Michael","email":"msamuel@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"D.","affiliations":[{"id":199,"text":"Coop Res Unit Leetown","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":637240,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Lopez, Davin L.","contributorId":171378,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Lopez","given":"Davin","email":"","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[{"id":7242,"text":"Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, Madison, WI, USA","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":637241,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Shelton, Paul","contributorId":171375,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Shelton","given":"Paul","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":26879,"text":"Illinois DNR, Springfield, IL","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":637242,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4}]}}

Here, breeding season survival (N = 40) and breeding incidence (N = 39) were estimated for female Mottled Ducks on the upper Texas coast, 2006&ndash;2008. Females were fitted with backpack radio transmitters and visually relocated every 3&ndash;4 days. Weekly survival was estimated using the Known Fate procedure of program MARK with breeding incidence estimated as the annual proportion of females observed nesting or with broods. The top-ranked survival model included a body mass covariate and held weekly female survival constant across weeks and years (S</span><sub>W</sub><span>&nbsp;= 0.986, SE = 0.006). When compared to survival across the entire year estimated from previous band recovery and age ratio analysis, survival rate during the breeding season did not differ. Breeding incidence was well below 100% in all years and highly variable among years (15%&ndash;63%). Breeding season survival and breeding incidence were similar to estimates obtained with implant transmitters from the mid-coast of Texas.

The observed combination of low breeding incidence and high breeding season survival support the hypothesis of a trade-off between the ecological cost of nesting effort and survival for Mottled Duck females.

Some of these landslides mobilize into potentially hazardous debris flows. A growing body of research indicates that rainfall intensity-duration thresholds are insufficient for accurate prediction of landslide occurrence. In response, we have begun long-term monitoring of the hydrologic response of land-slide-prone hillslopes to rainfall in several areas of the SFBA. Each monitoring site is equipped with sensors for measuring soil moisture content and piezometric pressure at several soil depths along with a rain gauge connected to a cell phone or satellite telemetered data logger. The data are transmitted in near-real-time, providing the ability to monitor hydrologic conditions before, during, and after storms. Results are guiding the establishment of both antecedent and storm-specific rainfall and moisture content thresholds which must be achieved before landslide-causative positive pore water pressures are generated. Although widespread shallow landsliding has not yet occurred since the deployment of the monitoring sites, several isolated land-slides have been observed in the area of monitoring. The landslides occurred during a period when positive pore water pressures were measured as a result of intense rainfall that followed higher-than-average season precipitation totals. Continued monitoring and analysis will further guide the establishment of more general-ized thresholds for different regions of the SFBA and contribute to the development and calibration of physi-cally-based predictive models.","largerWorkType":{"id":4,"text":"Book"},"largerWorkTitle":"Landslides and engineered slopes: Protecting society through improved understanding, Proceedings of the 11th International Symposium on Landslides","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":12,"text":"Conference publication"},"conferenceTitle":"11th International Symposium on Landslides","language":"English","usgsCitation":"Collins, B.D., Stock, J.D., Weber, L.C., Whitman, K., and Knepprath, N., 2012, Monitoring subsurface hydrologic response for precipitation-induced shallow landsliding in the San Francisco Bay area, California, USA, <i>in</i> Landslides and engineered slopes: Protecting society through improved understanding, Proceedings of the 11th International Symposium on Landslides, p. 1249-1255.","productDescription":"7 p.","startPage":"1249","endPage":"1255","ipdsId":"IP-035594","costCenters":[{"id":312,"text":"Geology, Minerals, Energy, and Geophysics Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":350039,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"publishingServiceCenter":{"id":14,"text":"Menlo Park PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5a61053ee4b06e28e9c25518","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Collins, Brian D. 0000-0003-4881-5359 bcollins@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4881-5359","contributorId":149278,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Collins","given":"Brian","email":"bcollins@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"D.","affiliations":[{"id":186,"text":"Coastal and Marine Geology Program","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":312,"text":"Geology, Minerals, Energy, and Geophysics Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":713308,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Stock, Jonathan D. 0000-0001-8565-3577 jstock@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8565-3577","contributorId":3648,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Stock","given":"Jonathan","email":"jstock@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"D.","affiliations":[{"id":312,"text":"Geology, Minerals, Energy, and Geophysics Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":713309,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Weber, Lisa C.","contributorId":124586,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Weber","given":"Lisa","email":"","middleInitial":"C.","affiliations":[{"id":451,"text":"National Water Quality Assessment Program","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":713310,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Whitman, K.","contributorId":197364,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Whitman","given":"K.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":713311,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Knepprath, N.","contributorId":197365,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Knepprath","given":"N.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":713312,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":12}]}}

If this improved assessment yields a net social benefit, then that benefit reflects the value of information (VOI) from MRLI. Environmental quality and the capacity to provide ecosystem services evolve because of human actions, changing natural conditions, and their interaction with natural physical processes. The human actions, in turn, are constrained and redirected by many institutions and regulations such as agricultural, energy, and environmental policies. We present a general framework for bringing together sociologic, biologic, physical, hydrologic, and geologic processes at meaningful scales to interpret environmental implications of MRLI applications. We set out a specific application using MRLI observations to identify crop planting patterns and thus estimate surface management activities that influence groundwater resources over a regional landscape. We tailor the application to the characteristics of nonpoint source groundwater pollution hazards in Iowa to illustrate a general framework in a land use-hydrologic-economic system. In the example, MRLI VOI derives from reducing the risk of both losses to agricultural production and damage to human health and other consequences of contaminated groundwater.","largerWorkType":{"id":4,"text":"Book"},"largerWorkTitle":"The value of information","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":4,"text":"Other Government Series"},"language":"English","publisher":"Springer","publisherLocation":"Amsterdam, Netherlands","doi":"10.1007/978-94-007-4839-2_10","collaboration":"This is Chapter 10","usgsCitation":"Bernknopf, R.L., Forney, W.M., Raunikar, R.P., and Mishra, S.K., 2012, Estimating the benefits of land imagery in environmental applications: a case study in nonpoint source pollution of groundwater, chap. <i>of</i> The value of information, p. 257-299, https://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-007-4839-2_10.","productDescription":"43 p.","startPage":"257","endPage":"299","ipdsId":"IP-024922","costCenters":[{"id":657,"text":"Western Geographic Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":269684,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":269683,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-94-007-4839-2_10"}],"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2012-07-03","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"51483788e4b022dd171afe59","contributors":{"editors":[{"text":"Laxminarayan, Ramanan","contributorId":112226,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Laxminarayan","given":"Ramanan","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":508223,"contributorType":{"id":2,"text":"Editors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Maccauley, Molly K.","contributorId":112432,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Maccauley","given":"Molly","email":"","middleInitial":"K.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":508224,"contributorType":{"id":2,"text":"Editors"},"rank":2}],"authors":[{"text":"Bernknopf, Richard L.","contributorId":97061,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Bernknopf","given":"Richard","email":"","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":350426,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Forney, William M.","contributorId":43490,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Forney","given":"William","email":"","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":350425,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Raunikar, Ronald P.","contributorId":101535,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Raunikar","given":"Ronald","email":"","middleInitial":"P.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":350427,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Mishra, Shruti K.","contributorId":21432,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Mishra","given":"Shruti","email":"","middleInitial":"K.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":350424,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4}]}}

Comparing of these records to cosmogenic exposure ages from moraines suggests that variations in glacial flour largely reflect glacial extent. The two areas are at similar latitudes and yield similar records of glacial growth and recession, even though UKL lies less than 200 km from the ocean and BL is in the continental interior. As sea level began to fall prior to the global Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), existing glaciers in the UKL area expanded. Near the beginning of the global LGM (26.5 ka), the BL record indicates onset of glaciation and UKL-area glaciers underwent further expansion. Both records indicate that local glaciers reached their maximum extents near the end of the global LGM, remained near their maxima for ~1000 yr, and underwent two stages of retreat separated by a short period of expansion.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Quaternary Research","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"Elsevier","doi":"10.1016/j.yqres.2012.06.004","usgsCitation":"Rosenbaum, J.G., Reynolds, R.L., and Colman, S.M., 2012, Fingerprinting of glacial silt in lake sediments yields continuous records of alpine glaciation (35–15 ka), western USA: Quaternary Research, v. 78, no. 2, p. 333-340, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.yqres.2012.06.004.","productDescription":"8 p.","startPage":"333","endPage":"340","ipdsId":"IP-038240","costCenters":[{"id":308,"text":"Geology and Environmental Change Science Center","active":false,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":272280,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":272279,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.yqres.2012.06.004"}],"country":"United States","geographicExtents":"{ \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\", \"features\": [ { \"type\": \"Feature\", \"properties\": {}, \"geometry\": { \"type\": \"Polygon\", \"coordinates\": [ [ [ 172.5,18.9 ], [ 172.5,71.4 ], [ -66.9,71.4 ], [ -66.9,18.9 ], [ 172.5,18.9 ] ] ] } } ] }","volume":"78","issue":"2","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2012-07-11","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"53cd5965e4b0b290850f8acb","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Rosenbaum, Joseph G. jrosenbaum@usgs.gov","contributorId":1524,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Rosenbaum","given":"Joseph","email":"jrosenbaum@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"G.","affiliations":[],"preferred":true,"id":475270,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Reynolds, Richard L. 0000-0002-4572-2942 rreynolds@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4572-2942","contributorId":441,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Reynolds","given":"Richard","email":"rreynolds@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[{"id":271,"text":"Federal Center","active":false,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":475269,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Colman, Steven M.","contributorId":6439,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Colman","given":"Steven","email":"","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":475271,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3}]}}

Maximum values were recorded during Mar–Jul 2009 when horizontal sediment fluxes measured with BSNE samplers ranged from 16.3 to 1251.0 g m<sup>−2</sup> d<sup>−1</sup> in unburned plots (n = 8; data represent averages of three sampler heights per plot), 35.2–555.3 g m<sup>−2</sup> d<sup>−1</sup> in burned plots that were not treated (n = 5), and 21.0–44,010.7 g m<sup>−2</sup> d<sup>−1</sup> in burned plots that received one or more rehabilitation treatments that disturbed the soil surface (n = 12). Fluxes during this period exhibited extreme spatial variability and were contingent on upwind landscape characteristics and surficial soil properties, with maximum fluxes recorded in settings downwind of treated areas with long treatment length and unstable fine sand. Nonlinear patterns of wind erosion attributable to soil and fetch effects highlight the profound importance of landscape setting and soil properties as spatial factors to be considered in evaluating risks of alternative post-fire rehabilitation strategies. By Mar–Jul 2010, average flux for all plots declined by 73.6% relative to the comparable 2009 period primarily due to the establishment and growth of exotic annual plants rather than seeded perennial plants. Results suggest that treatments in sensitive erosion-prone settings generally exacerbated rather than mitigated wind erosion during the first 3 years post fire, although long-term effects remain uncertain.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Aeolian Research","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"Elsevier","publisherLocation":"Amsterdam, Netherlands","doi":"10.1016/j.aeolia.2012.04.001","usgsCitation":"Miller, M.E., Bowker, M.A., Reynolds, R.L., and Goldstein, H., 2012, Post-fire land treatments and wind erosion -- lessons from the Milford Flat Fire, UT, USA: Aeolian Research, v. 7, p. 29-44, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.aeolia.2012.04.001.","productDescription":"16 p.","startPage":"29","endPage":"44","ipdsId":"IP-028925","costCenters":[{"id":568,"text":"Southwest Biological Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":269175,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":269174,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.aeolia.2012.04.001"}],"country":"United States","state":"Utah","geographicExtents":"{ \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\", \"features\": [ { \"type\": \"Feature\", \"properties\": {}, \"geometry\": { \"type\": \"Polygon\", \"coordinates\": [ [ [ -114.0,37.0 ], [ -114.0,42.0 ], [ -109.0,42.0 ], [ -109.0,37.0 ], [ -114.0,37.0 ] ] ] } } ] }","volume":"7","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"51404e8ce4b089809dbf44c0","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Miller, Mark E.","contributorId":91580,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Miller","given":"Mark","email":"","middleInitial":"E.","affiliations":[{"id":6959,"text":"National Park Service Southeast Utah Group","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":475285,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Bowker, Matthew A. mbowker@usgs.gov","contributorId":2875,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Bowker","given":"Matthew","email":"mbowker@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[],"preferred":true,"id":475283,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Reynolds, Richard L. 0000-0002-4572-2942 rreynolds@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4572-2942","contributorId":441,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Reynolds","given":"Richard","email":"rreynolds@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[{"id":271,"text":"Federal Center","active":false,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":475282,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Goldstein, Harland L.","contributorId":32999,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Goldstein","given":"Harland L.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":475284,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4}]}}
