One such organism is Morafka’s desert tortoise, Gopherus morafkai. We apply a genomic approach to identify the evolutionary processes driving diversity in this species and present preliminary findings and emerging hypotheses. The Sonoran Desert form of the tortoise exhibits a continuum of genetic similarity spanning 850 km of Sonoran desertscrub extending from Empalme, Sonora, to Kingman, Arizona. However, at the ecotone between desertscrub and foothills thornscrub we identify a distinct, Sinaloan lineage and this occurrence suggests a more complex evolutionary history for G. morafkai. By using multiple loci from throughout the tortoise’s genome, we aim to determine if divergence between these lineages occurred in allopatry, and further to investigate for signatures of past or current genetic introgression. This international, collaborative project will assist state and federal agencies in developing management strategies that best preserve the evolutionary potential of Morafka’s desert tortoise. Ultimately, an understanding of the evolutionary history of desert tortoises will not only clarify the forces that have driven the divergence in this group, but also contribute to our knowledge of the biogeographic history of the Southwestern deserts and how diversity is maintained within them.","largerWorkType":{"id":4,"text":"Book"},"largerWorkTitle":"Merging science and management in a rapidly changing world: Biodiversity and management of the Madrean Archipelago III and 7th Conference on Research and Resource Management in the Southwestern Deserts; 2012 May 1-5; Tucson, AZ","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":12,"text":"Conference publication"},"conferenceTitle":"Merging science and management in a rapidly changing world: Biodiversity and management of the Madrean Archipelago III and 7th Conference on Research and Resource Management in the Southwestern Deserts; 2012 May 1-5; Tucson, AZ","conferenceDate":"2012-05-01T00:00:00","conferenceLocation":"Tucson, AZ","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Forest Service","publisherLocation":"Fort Collins, CO","usgsCitation":"Edwards, T., Vaughn, M., Melendez Torres, C., Karl, A.E., Rosen, P.C., Berry, K.H., and Murph, R.W., 2013, Biogeographic perspective of speciation among desert tortoises in the genus <i>Gopherus</i>: a preliminary evaluation: Proceedings RMRS-P-67, 5 p.","productDescription":"5 p.","startPage":"243","endPage":"247","numberOfPages":"5","ipdsId":"IP-037598","costCenters":[{"id":651,"text":"Western Ecological Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":294557,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":294556,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://www.fs.fed.us/rm/pubs/rmrs_p067.html"}],"country":"Mexico","geographicExtents":"{ \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\", \"features\": [ { \"type\": \"Feature\", \"properties\": {}, \"geometry\": { \"type\": \"Polygon\", \"coordinates\": [ [ [ -113.14,24.27 ], [ -113.14,31.36 ], [ -106.16,31.36 ], [ -106.16,24.27 ], [ -113.14,24.27 ] ] ] } } ] }","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"54252ea3e4b0e641df8a6ec4","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Edwards, Taylor","contributorId":62337,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Edwards","given":"Taylor","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":500388,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Vaughn, Mercy","contributorId":21881,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Vaughn","given":"Mercy","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":500386,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Melendez Torres, Cristina","contributorId":71905,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Melendez Torres","given":"Cristina","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":500390,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Karl, Alice E.","contributorId":32844,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Karl","given":"Alice","email":"","middleInitial":"E.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":500387,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Rosen, Philip C.","contributorId":70311,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Rosen","given":"Philip","email":"","middleInitial":"C.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":500389,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Berry, Kristin H. 0000-0003-1591-8394 kristin_berry@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1591-8394","contributorId":437,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Berry","given":"Kristin","email":"kristin_berry@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"H.","affiliations":[{"id":651,"text":"Western Ecological Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":500385,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6},{"text":"Murph, Robert W.","contributorId":92599,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Murph","given":"Robert","email":"","middleInitial":"W.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":500391,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":7}]}}

Okaloosa Darters were recounted (but not recaptured) at 24 h and one month, and then recaptured once per year for the following eight years. During the final recapture year, we measured standard length of all Okaloosa Darters and constructed length frequency distributions to identify distinct cohorts. We found that significant numbers of Okaloosa Darters remained within their 20 m reaches after 24 h (31%), one month (45%), and one year (22%) and rarely crossed open, sandy stream channels from one side to the other. Our recapture data and length frequency distributions indicate that Okaloosa Darters live longer than the 2–3 years suggested by previous authors. One of our recaptured fish was at least eight years old, making Okaloosa Darters the most long-lived etheostomine.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Copeia","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"American Society of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists","doi":"10.1643/CE-12-175","usgsCitation":"Holt, D.E., Jelks, H.L., and Jordan, F., 2013, Movement and longevity of imperiled Okaloosa Darters (Etheostoma okaloosae): Copeia, v. 2013, no. 4, p. 653-659, https://doi.org/10.1643/CE-12-175.","productDescription":"7 p.","startPage":"653","endPage":"659","numberOfPages":"7","ipdsId":"IP-042687","costCenters":[],"links":[{"id":281341,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":281338,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.1643/CE-12-175"}],"volume":"2013","issue":"4","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"53cd684fe4b0b29085101f15","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Holt, Daniel E.","contributorId":102381,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Holt","given":"Daniel","email":"","middleInitial":"E.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":488878,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Jelks, Howard L. 0000-0002-0672-6297 hjelks@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0672-6297","contributorId":2962,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Jelks","given":"Howard","email":"hjelks@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[{"id":566,"text":"Southeast Ecological Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":488877,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Jordan, Frank","contributorId":103405,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Jordan","given":"Frank","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":488879,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3}]}}

The MBHI program was developed in response to the Deepwater \nHorizon oil spill in 2010, with the goal of improving/creating habitat for waterbirds \naffected by the spill. In collaboration with the University of Delaware (UDEL), we used \nweather surveillance radar data (Sieges 2014), portable marine radar data, thermal \ninfrared images, and visual observations to assess bird use of MBHI easements. \nMigrating and wintering birds routinely make synchronous flights near dusk (e.g., \ndeparture during migration, feeding flights during winter). Weather radars readily detect \nbirds at the onset of these flights and have proven to be useful remote sensing tools for \nassessing bird-habitat relations during migration and determining the response of \nwintering waterfowl to wetland restoration (e.g., Wetlands Reserve Program lands). \nHowever, ground-truthing is required to identify radar echoes to species or species group. \nWe designed a field study to ground-truth a larger-scale, weather radar assessment of bird \nuse of MBHI sites in southwest Louisiana. We examined seasonal bird use of MBHI \nfields in fall, winter, and spring of 2011-2012. To assess diurnal use, we conducted total \narea surveys of MBHI sites in the afternoon, collecting data on bird species composition, \nabundance, behavior, and habitat use. In the evenings, we quantified bird activity at the \nMBHI easements and described flight behavior (i.e., birds landing in, departing from, \ncircling, or flying over the MBHI tract). Our field sampling captured the onset of evening \nflights and spanned the period of collection of the weather radar data analyzed. Pre- and \npost-dusk surveys were conducted using a portable radar system and a thermal infrared \ncamera. </p>\n<br>\n<p>Landbirds, shorebirds, and wading birds were commonly found on MBHI fields \nduring diurnal surveys in the fall. Ducks (breeding and early migrating species) were also \ndetected on diurnal surveys, but were less abundant than the previously mentioned taxa. \nWading birds were the most abundant taxa observed during evening surveys up to 5 min \nbefore dusk when their numbers declined and duck densities increased. Ducks accounted \nfor 64.0% of all birds detected from 0-5 min before dusk. Most ducks observed at that time were flyovers (71.4%), but circling (9.2%), departing (12.1%), and landing birds \n(7.4%) were also detected.</p>\n<br>\n<p>In fall, the portable radar system detected two peaks in bird movement: one \nshortly before sunset and a second shortly after dusk. The later movement began just \nbefore dusk, peaked approximately 9 min after dusk, and concluded within 20 min after \ndusk. The flight headings of birds changed in relation to time from dusk. In general, the \nmajority of targets flew towards the southwest before dusk and towards the northeast \nafter dusk. The change in flight direction pre- and post-dusk may be related to \nmovements dominated by migratory versus local flight.</p> \n<br>\n<p>In winter, ducks, shorebirds, wading birds, and landbirds were the most abundant \ntaxa in diurnal surveys. Geese were abundant at times, but their frequency of occurrence \nand densities were highly variable. The majority of ducks, shorebirds, and wading birds \nwere observed feeding in MBHI fields. Landbirds and geese were more commonly seen \nresting. Overwintering ducks and geese dominated the movements near dusk (95.9% of \nall birds ≤ 5 min pre-dusk). Ducks were more frequently observed landing in (40.8%) and \nflying over (33.5%) MBHI fields while geese were mainly observed circling (54.7%) and \nflying over (38.9%) sites. Most of the shorebirds detected < 5 min before dusk (74.6% of \nall shorebirds) were departing the MBHI fields. Portable radar and thermal infrared \ncamera data indicate that large northeastward movements of waterfowl (99.9% of birds \nidentified to taxa) occurred after dusk (~10 min post-dusk). Most birds observed on radar \nduring this peak were flyovers and did not use the MBHI fields (78.9%); however, birds \nwere detected landing in (10.9%) and departing from (2.9%) MBHI fields. The post-dusk \nmovements may have been waterfowl feeding flights that routinely occur in southwest \nLouisiana between roost sites in coastal marsh and foraging sites in agricultural fields to \nthe north. After the conclusion of these movements ca. 30 min post-dusk, portable radar \ndata showed little activity through the night until approximately 0.5 to 1.5 hr pre-dawn. \nRadar data within 30 min pre-dawn indicate that most birds departed MBHI fields on \nflight headings toward the southwest. The pre-dawn movements were likely waterfowl \ndeparting from their foraging sites and returning to roosting areas in coastal marshes to \nthe south.</p>\n<br>\n<p>Shorebirds, ducks, and wading birds were the most abundant taxa during diurnal \nsurveys of MBHI fields in spring, and the majority of individuals were observed actively \nforaging rather than resting. Breeding, overwintering, and transient migrant species were \nall detected on MBHI fields. Near dusk, the majority of birds in flight were ducks (67.7% of all birds) that were flying over (38.2%), departing from (34.2%), or landing in (22.9%) MBHI fields. These results contrast with our winter observations when 40.8% of ducks landed in MBHI fields and 9.1% departed from fields. Portable radar and thermal camera data documented a peak in bird movements shortly after dusk, however, the peak was of lower magnitude than observed in the winter. Thermal camera data identified the birds as mostly shorebirds (57.3%) and waterfowl (40.4%). Flight headings were more variable than winter and lacked an undirectional flow. After the post-dusk movement had concluded, bird activity remained low throughout the night until approximately 30 min before dawn when a small peck in activity was observed. Flight headings during the pre-dawn were variable and multidirectional.</p>\n<br>\n<p>We compared bird abundance data collected by each of our three sampling \ntechniques (portable radar, thermal infrared camera, and direct visual observation) for the \n45-min observation period immediately preceding dusk; the period when all three survey \nmethods were used simultaneously. Abundance data from the three methods were \nsignificantly correlated at P &le; 0.05.</p>\n<br>\n<p>We documented diurnal and nocturnal bird use of MBHI fields. Most \nobservations near dusk in winter, when weather radar data were sampled, were of ducks \nand geese, and in spring, shorebirds and ducks. Our winter observations show large \nsynchronous movements of waterfowl occurring near dusk. These birds were moving to \nthe NE and feeding in agricultural fields at night. Portable radar data suggest that birds \nstay in these fields through the night and make return flights near dawn.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Department of Agriculture","usgsCitation":"Barrow, W., Baldwin, M., Randall, L.A., Pitre, J., and Dudley, K.J., 2013, Application of ground-truth for classification and quantification of bird movements on migratory bird habitat initiative sites in southwest Louisiana: final report, ix, 102 p.","productDescription":"ix, 102 p.","numberOfPages":"111","ipdsId":"IP-051038","costCenters":[{"id":455,"text":"National Wetlands Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":286056,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":284055,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/portal/nrcs/detail/national/technical/nra/ceap/?cid=stelprdb1186080"}],"country":"United States","state":"Louisiana","geographicExtents":"{ \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\", \"features\": [ { \"type\": \"Feature\", \"properties\": {}, \"geometry\": { \"type\": \"Polygon\", \"coordinates\": [ [ [ -93.4281,29.7777 ], [ -93.4281,30.6302 ], [ -92.5736,30.6302 ], [ -92.5736,29.7777 ], [ -93.4281,29.7777 ] ] ] } } ] }","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"53558fc8e4b0120853e8be3f","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Barrow, Wylie C. 0000-0003-4671-2823 barroww@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4671-2823","contributorId":1988,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Barrow","given":"Wylie C.","email":"barroww@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":455,"text":"National Wetlands Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":491547,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Baldwin, Michael J. 0000-0003-1939-5439 baldwinm@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1939-5439","contributorId":3294,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Baldwin","given":"Michael J.","email":"baldwinm@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":455,"text":"National Wetlands Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":491549,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Randall, Lori A. 0000-0003-0100-994X randalll@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0100-994X","contributorId":2678,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Randall","given":"Lori","email":"randalll@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[{"id":17705,"text":"Wetland and Aquatic Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":455,"text":"National Wetlands Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":491548,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Pitre, John","contributorId":83024,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Pitre","given":"John","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":491550,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Dudley, Kyle J.","contributorId":93821,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Dudley","given":"Kyle","email":"","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":491551,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5}]}}

The Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta (YKD) in western Alaska is the most important postbreeding staging area for shorebirds in the subarctic North Pacific, yet little is known about movements of shorebirds there during the postbreeding period. To address this information gap, we studied residency times and patterns of movement of 17 adult and 17 juvenile radio-marked Dunlin (Calidris alpina) on the YKD between early August and early October 2005. Throughout this postbreeding period, during which Dunlin were molting, most birds were relocated within a 130 km radius of their capture site on the YKD, but three birds were relocated more than 600 km to the south at estuaries along the Alaska Peninsula. On average, juvenile Dunlin were relocated farther away from the banding site (median relocation distance = 36.3 km) than adult Dunlin (median relocation distance = 8.8 km). Post-capture, minimum lengths of stay by Dunlin on the YKD were not significantly different between juveniles (median = 19 days) and adults (median = 23 days), with some birds staging for more than 50 days. Body mass at time of capture was the best single variable explaining length of stay on the YKD, with average length of stay decreasing by 2.5 days per additional gram of body mass at time of capture. Conservation efforts for postbreeding shorebirds should consider patterns of resource use that may differ not only by age cohort but also by individual condition.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Arctic","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"Arctic Institute of North America","doi":"10.14430/arctic4327","usgsCitation":"Warnock, N., Handel, C.M., Gill, R., and McCaffery, B.J., 2013, Residency times and patterns of movement of postbreeding dunlin on a subarctic staging area in Alaska: Arctic, v. 66, no. 4, p. 407-416, https://doi.org/10.14430/arctic4327.","productDescription":"10 p.","startPage":"407","endPage":"416","ipdsId":"IP-043271","costCenters":[{"id":117,"text":"Alaska Science Center Biology WTEB","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":489706,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.14430/arctic4327","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":286894,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":286893,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.14430/arctic4327"}],"country":"United States","state":"Alaska","volume":"66","issue":"4","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2013-11-22","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5368b2f9e4b059f7e8288367","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Warnock, Nils","contributorId":64534,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Warnock","given":"Nils","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":475996,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Handel, Colleen M. 0000-0002-0267-7408 cmhandel@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0267-7408","contributorId":3067,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Handel","given":"Colleen","email":"cmhandel@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[{"id":117,"text":"Alaska Science Center Biology WTEB","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":475993,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Gill, Robert E.

Thus, there is potential for captive populations to be a reservoir for repatriation efforts. We assess the utility of captive populations of the threatened Agassiz’s desert tortoise (<i>Gopherus agassizii</i>) for recovery efforts based on genetic affinity to local areas. We collected samples from 130 captive desert tortoises from three desert communities: two in California (Ridgecrest and Joshua Tree) and the Desert Tortoise Conservation Center (Las Vegas) in Nevada. We tested all samples for 25 short tandem repeats and sequenced 1,109 bp of the mitochondrial genome. We compared captive genotypes to a database of 1,258 Gopherus samples, including 657 wild caught <i>G. agassizii</i> spanning the full range of the species. We conducted population assignment tests to determine the genetic origins of the captive individuals. For our total sample set, only 44 % of captive individuals were assigned to local populations based on genetic units derived from the reference database. One individual from Joshua Tree, California, was identified as being a Morafka’s desert tortoise, <i>G. morafkai</i>, a cryptic species which is not native to the Mojave Desert. Our data suggest that captive desert tortoises kept within the native range of <i>G. agassizii</i> cannot be presumed to have a genealogical affiliation to wild tortoises in their geographic proximity. Precautions should be taken before considering the release of captive tortoises into the wild as a management tool for recovery.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Conservation Genetics","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"Kluwer Academic Publishers","publisherLocation":"Dordrecht","doi":"10.1007/s10592-013-0458-y","usgsCitation":"Berry, K.H., and Edwards, T., 2013, Are captive tortoises a reservoir for conservation?

The overall goal of this project was to assess the general health of fish from eleven western national parks to infer whether health impacts may be linked to contaminant health thresholds for animal andor human health. This was accomplished by evaluating the presence of intersex fish with eggs developing in male gonads or sperm developing in female gonads using histology.

We investigated how riparian-forest community composition, understory density, and lateral slope shaped vertical and lateral litter inputs to 16 streams in the Oregon Coast Range. Riparian forests dominated by deciduous red alder delivered greater annual vertical litter inputs to streams (504 g m<sup>−2</sup> y<sup>−1</sup>) than did riparian forests dominated by coniferous Douglas-fir (394 g m<sup>−2</sup> y<sup>−1</sup>). Deciduous forests also contributed greater lateral litter inputs per meter of stream bank on one side (109 g m<sup>−1</sup> y<sup>−1</sup>) than did coniferous forests (63 g m<sup>−1</sup> y<sup>−1</sup>). Total litter inputs from deciduous forests exceeded those from coniferous forests most strongly in November, coincident with an autumn peak in litter inputs. Lateral litter inputs contributed most to total inputs during winter in both forest types. Annual lateral litter movement increased with slope at deciduous sites, but only in spring/summer months at coniferous sites. Neither experimental removal of understory vegetation nor installation of mesh fences to block downslope litter movement affected lateral litter inputs to streams, suggesting that ground litter moves <5 m downslope annually. N concentrations of several litter fractions were higher at deciduous sites and, when combined with greater litter amounts, yielded twice as much total litter N flux to streams in deciduous than coniferous sites. The presence of red alder in riparian forests along many small streams of the deeply incised and highly dendritic basins of the Oregon Coast Range enhances total fluxes and seasonality of litter delivery to both terrestrial and aquatic food webs in this region and complements the shade and large woody debris provided by large coniferous trees.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"The Society for Freshwater Science","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"BioOne","doi":"10.1899/12-074.1","usgsCitation":"Hart, S.K., Hibbs, D.E., and Perakis, S., 2013, Riparian litter inputs to streams in the central Oregon Coast Range: The Society for Freshwater Science, v. 32, no. 1, p. 343-358, https://doi.org/10.1899/12-074.1.","productDescription":"16 p.","startPage":"343","endPage":"358","ipdsId":"IP-041512","costCenters":[{"id":290,"text":"Forest and Rangeland Ecosystem Science Center","active":false,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":274999,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":274862,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://www.bioone.org/doi/abs/10.1899/12-074.1"},{"id":274995,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.1899/12-074.1"}],"country":"United States","state":"Oregon","geographicExtents":"{ \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\", \"features\": [ { \"type\": \"Feature\", \"properties\": {}, \"geometry\": { \"type\": \"Polygon\", \"coordinates\": [ [ [ -124.6129,41.9918 ], [ -124.6129,46.292 ], [ -116.4633,46.292 ], [ -116.4633,41.9918 ], [ -124.6129,41.9918 ] ] ] } } ] }","volume":"32","issue":"1","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"51e519efe4b069f8d27ccb33","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Hart, Stephanie K.","contributorId":58170,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Hart","given":"Stephanie","email":"","middleInitial":"K.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":480747,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Hibbs, David E.","contributorId":76587,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Hibbs","given":"David","email":"","middleInitial":"E.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":480748,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Perakis, Steven S. 0000-0003-0703-9314","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0703-9314","contributorId":16797,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Perakis","given":"Steven S.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":480746,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3}]}}

This monitoring area includes the Chicago Area Waterways System (CAWS) and the Des Plaines River. By sampling waters that may be inhabited by Asian carp, the extraction and amplification of carp DNA from the collected cellular debris is possible. This technique has been successfully used in several other contexts (Ficetola et al., 2008; Foote et al., 2008) and is believed to be a highly sensitive method for species detection (Dejean et al., 2012). Compared to traditional methods for surveying aquatic invasive species (fishing, rotenone application, and electrofishing), the increased sensitivity of this method could be a valuable asset.

However, no known pheromone molecule has been shown to modulate directly the synthesis or release of gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH), the main regulator of the HPG axis. We selected sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) as a model system to determine whether a single pheromone component alters the output of GnRH.\n\nSea lamprey male sex pheromones contain a main component, 7α, 12α, 24-trihydroxy-5α-cholan-3-one 24-sulfate (3 keto-petromyzonol sulfate or 3kPZS), which has been shown to modulate behaviors of mature females. Through a series of experiments, we tested the hypothesis that 3kPZS modulates both synthesis and release of GnRH, and subsequently, HPG output in immature sea lamprey.\n\nResults\nThe results showed that natural male pheromone mixtures induced differential steroid responses but facilitated sexual maturation in both sexes of immature animals (χ2 = 5.042, dF = 1, p < 0.05).

Carbon stable isotope ratios (δ<sup>13</sup>C) discriminate best between the two rivers, but fine scale analysis in otoliths requires rare, expensive instrumentation. We therefore correlated other tracers (SrSr, Ba, and Se in ratio to Ca) to δ<sup>13</sup>C that are easier to quantify in otoliths with other microchemical techniques. Although the Little Colorado River’s water chemistry varies with major storm events, at base flow or near base flow (conditions occurring 84% of the time in our study) its chemistry differs sufficiently from the mainstem to discriminate one from the other. Additionally, when fish egress from the natal Little Colorado River to the mainstem, they encounter cold water which causes the otolith daily growth increments to decrease in size markedly. Combining otolith growth increment analysis and microchemistry permitted estimation of size and age at first egress; size at first birthday was also estimated. Emigrants < 1 year old averaged 51.2 ± 4.4 (SE) days and 35.5 ± 3.6 mm at egress; older fish that had recruited to the population averaged 100 ± 7.8 days old and 51.0 ± 2.2 mm at egress, suggesting that larger, older emigrants recruit better. Back-calculated size at age 1 was unimodal and large (78.2 ± 3.3 mm) in Little Colorado caught fish but was bimodally distributed in Colorado mainstem caught fish (49.9 ± 3.6 and 79 ± 4.9 mm) suggesting that humpback chub can also rear in the mainstem. The study demonstrates the coupled usage of the two rivers by this fish and highlights the need to consider both rivers when making management decisions for humpback chub recovery.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"PLoS ONE","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"Public Library of Science","doi":"10.1371/journal.pone.0084235","usgsCitation":"Limburg, K.E., Hayden, T.A., Pine, W., Yard, M., Kozdon, R., and Valley, J.W., 2013, Of travertine and time: otolith chemistry and microstructure detect provenance and demography of endangered humpback chub in Grand Canyon, USA: PLoS ONE, v. 8, no. 12, 18 p., https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0084235.","productDescription":"18 p.","numberOfPages":"18","onlineOnly":"Y","ipdsId":"IP-046330","costCenters":[{"id":568,"text":"Southwest Biological Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":473990,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0084235","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":288033,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":288032,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0084235"}],"country":"United States","state":"Arizona","otherGeospatial":"Grand Canyon;Colorado River;Little Colorado River","geographicExtents":"{ \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\", \"features\": [ { \"type\": \"Feature\", \"properties\": {}, \"geometry\": { \"type\": \"Polygon\", \"coordinates\": [ [ [ -111.833333,36.1 ], [ -111.833333,36.2 ], [ -111.7,36.2 ], [ -111.7,36.1 ], [ -111.833333,36.1 ] ] ] } } ] }","volume":"8","issue":"12","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2013-12-16","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"538eee94e4b0d497d4968517","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Limburg, Karin E.","contributorId":16325,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Limburg","given":"Karin","email":"","middleInitial":"E.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":494306,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Hayden, Todd A. 0000-0002-0451-0425 thayden@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0451-0425","contributorId":5987,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Hayden","given":"Todd","email":"thayden@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[{"id":324,"text":"Great Lakes Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":494303,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Pine, William E.

These process changes bring about landform changes as hillslopes are lowered and stream channels aggrade or incise at increased rates. Furthermore, development of alluvial fans, debris fans, and talus cones are enhanced.

The most recent channel reset occurred in 2008 following a 17-year period of extremely low stream flow and rapid channel narrowing. Flooding was caused by precipitation associated with the remnants of tropical depression Lowell in the Rio Conchos watershed, the largest tributary to the Rio Grande. Floodwaters approached 1500 m3/s (between a 13 and 15 year recurrence interval) and breached levees, inundated communities, and flooded the alluvial valley of the Rio Grande; the wetted width exceeding 2.5 km in some locations. The 2008 flood had the 7th largest magnitude of record, however, conveyed the largest volume of water than any other flood. Because of the narrow pre-flood channel conditions, record flood stages occurred.</p><p>We used pre- and post-flood aerial photographs, channel and floodplain surveys, and 1-dimensional hydraulic models to quantify the magnitude of channel change, investigate the controls of flood-induced geomorphic changes, and measure the post-flood response of the widened channel. These analyses show that geomorphic changes included channel widening, meander migration, avulsions, extensive bar formation, and vertical floodplain accretion. Reach-averaged channel widening between 26 and 52% occurred, but in some localities exceeded 500%. The degree and style of channel response was related, but not limited to, three factors: 1) bed-load supply and transport, 2) pre-flood channel plan form, and 3) rapid declines in specific stream power downstream of constrictions and areas of high channel bed slope. The post-flood channel response has consisted of channel contraction through the aggradation of the channel bed and the formation of fine-grained benches inset within the widened channel margins. The most significant post-flood geomorphic changes have occurred at and downstream from ephemeral tributaries that contribute large volumes of sediment.</p>","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Geomorphology","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"Elsevier","doi":"10.1016/j.geomorph.2013.06.020","usgsCitation":"Dean, D.J., and Schmidt, J.C., 2013, The geomorphic effectiveness of a large flood on the Rio Grande in the Big Bend region: insights on geomorphic controls and post-flood geomorphic response: Geomorphology, v. 201, p. 183-198, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geomorph.2013.06.020.","productDescription":"16 p.","startPage":"183","endPage":"198","numberOfPages":"16","ipdsId":"IP-041892","costCenters":[{"id":568,"text":"Southwest Biological Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":288031,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":288030,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.geomorph.2013.06.020"}],"country":"Mexico;United States","state":"Texas","otherGeospatial":"Big Bend National Park;Rio Grande","geographicExtents":"{ \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\", \"features\": [ { \"type\": \"Feature\", \"properties\": {}, \"geometry\": { \"type\": \"Polygon\", \"coordinates\": [ [ [ -105.0951,28.9719 ], [ -105.0951,30.1996 ], [ -102.1204,30.1996 ], [ -102.1204,28.9719 ], [ -105.0951,28.9719 ] ] ] } } ] }","volume":"201","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"538eee9fe4b0d497d4968550","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Dean, David J. 0000-0003-0203-088X djdean@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0203-088X","contributorId":131047,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Dean","given":"David","email":"djdean@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[{"id":568,"text":"Southwest Biological Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":494310,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Schmidt, John C. 0000-0002-2988-3869 jcschmidt@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2988-3869","contributorId":1983,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Schmidt","given":"John","email":"jcschmidt@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"C.","affiliations":[{"id":568,"text":"Southwest Biological Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":494309,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}}

Efficient modeling of such trends depends on the consideration of the correlation of population changes with key spatial and environmental covariates. This can provide insights into causal mechanisms and allow spatially explicit summaries at scales that are of interest to management agencies. We expand the hierarchical modeling framework used in the North American Breeding Bird Survey (BBS) by developing a spatially explicit model of temporal trend using a conditional autoregressive (CAR) model. By adopting a formal spatial model for abundance, we produce spatially explicit abundance and trend estimates. Analyses based on large-scale geographic strata such as Bird Conservation Regions (BCR) can suffer from basic imbalances in spatial sampling. Our approach addresses this issue by providing an explicit weighting based on the fundamental sample allocation unit of the BBS. We applied the spatial model to three species from the BBS. Species have been chosen based upon their well-known population change patterns, which allows us to evaluate the quality of our model and the biological meaning of our estimates. We also compare our results with the ones obtained for BCRs using a nonspatial hierarchical model (Sauer and Link 2011). Globally, estimates for mean trends are consistent between the two approaches but spatial estimates provide much more precise trend estimates in regions on the edges of species ranges that were poorly estimated in non-spatial analyses. Incorporating a spatial component in the analysis not only allows us to obtain relevant and biologically meaningful estimates for population trends, but also enables us to provide a flexible framework in order to obtain trend estimates for any area.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"PLoS ONE","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"PLoS","doi":"10.1371/journal.pone.0081867","usgsCitation":"Bled, F., Sauer, J., Pardieck, K.L., Doherty, P., and Royle, J.A., 2013, Modeling trends from North American Breeding Bird Survey data: a spatially explicit approach: PLoS ONE, v. 8, no. 12, 14 p., https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0081867.","productDescription":"14 p.","ipdsId":"IP-052066","costCenters":[{"id":531,"text":"Patuxent Wildlife Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":473991,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0081867","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":284404,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":284402,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0081867"},{"id":284403,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0081867;jsessionid=FCB75EDDD2621890E310AC85F997B517"}],"volume":"8","issue":"12","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2013-12-13","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"535594b6e4b0120853e8c08b","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Bled, Florent","contributorId":93613,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Bled","given":"Florent","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":491909,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Sauer, John R. jrsauer@usgs.gov","contributorId":3737,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Sauer","given":"John R.","email":"jrsauer@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":531,"text":"Patuxent Wildlife Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":491905,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Pardieck, Keith L. 0000-0003-2779-4392 kpardieck@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2779-4392","contributorId":4104,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Pardieck","given":"Keith","email":"kpardieck@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[{"id":531,"text":"Patuxent Wildlife Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":491906,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Doherty, Paul","contributorId":64155,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Doherty","given":"Paul","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":491908,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Royle, J.
