During 2007 and 2008, 557 discrete wetlands were surveyed and nine additional large wetland complexes sampled in M&eacute;xico and the USA. From these surveys, a population of 23,555 (95% CI = 17,299 &ndash; 29,859) breeding Snowy Plovers was estimated. Combining the estimate with information from areas not surveyed, the total North American population was assessed at 25,869 (95% CI = 18,917 &ndash; 32,173). Approximately 42% of all breeding Snowy Plovers in North America resided at two sites (Great Salt Lake, Utah, and Salt Plains National Wildlife Refuge, Oklahoma), and 33% of all these were on wetlands in the Great Basin (including Great Salt Lake). Also, coastal habitats in central and southern Texas supported large numbers of breeding plovers. New breeding sites were discovered in interior deserts and highlands and along the Pacific coast of M&eacute;xico; approximately 9% of the North American breeding population occurred in M&eacute;xico. Because of uncertainties about effects of climate change and current stresses to breeding habitats, the species should be a management and conservation priority. Periodic monitoring should be undertaken at important sites to ensure high quality habitat is available to support the Snowy Plover population.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Waterbirds","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"The Waterbird Society","publisherLocation":"http://www.waterbirds.org/","doi":"10.1675/063.035.0101","usgsCitation":"Thomas, S.M., Lyons, J., Andres, B.A., T-Smith, E.E., Palacios, E., Cavitt, J.F., Royle, J., Fellows, S.D., Maty, K., Howe, W.H., Mellink, E., Melvin, S., and Zimmerman, T., 2012, Population size of snowy plovers breeding in North America: Waterbirds, v. 35, no. 1, p. 1-14, https://doi.org/10.1675/063.035.0101.","productDescription":"14 p.","startPage":"1","endPage":"14","numberOfPages":"14","costCenters":[{"id":290,"text":"Forest and Rangeland Ecosystem Science Center","active":false,"usgs":true},{"id":531,"text":"Patuxent Wildlife Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":474476,"rank":10000,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1675/063.035.0101","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":257310,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":257275,"rank":9999,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.1675/063.035.0101","linkFileType":{"id":5,"text":"html"}}],"otherGeospatial":"North America","volume":"35","issue":"1","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"505a7d90e4b0c8380cd7a010","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Thomas, Susan M.","contributorId":15452,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Thomas","given":"Susan","email":"","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":464358,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Lyons, James E.","contributorId":35461,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Lyons","given":"James E.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":464362,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Andres, Brad A.","contributorId":68811,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Andres","given":"Brad","email":"","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":464365,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"T-Smith, Elise Elliot","contributorId":53641,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"T-Smith","given":"Elise","email":"","middleInitial":"Elliot","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":464363,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Palacios, Eduardo","contributorId":85025,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Palacios","given":"Eduardo","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":464368,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Cavitt, John F.","contributorId":28112,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Cavitt","given":"John","email":"","middleInitial":"F.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":464361,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6},{"text":"Royle, J.

Recently, estimating parameters of hidden Markov models, where the state of an individual can be uncertain even when it is detected, has received attention. Previous work has shown that ignoring state uncertainty biases estimates of survival and state transition probabilities, thereby reducing the power to detect effects. Efforts to adjust for state uncertainty have included special cases and a general framework for a single sample per period of interest. We provide a flexible framework for adjusting for state uncertainty in multistate models, while utilizing multiple sampling occasions per period of interest to increase precision and remove parameter redundancy. These models also produce direct estimates of state structure for each primary period, even for the case where there is just one sampling occasion. We apply our model to expected value data, and to data from a study of Florida manatees, to provide examples of the improvement in precision due to secondary capture occasions. We also provide user-friendly software to implement these models. This general framework could also be used by practitioners to consider constrained models of particular interest, or model the relationship between within-primary period parameters (e.g., state structure) and between-primary period parameters (e.g., state transition probabilities).","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Ecology","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"Ecological Society of America","publisherLocation":"Ithaca, NY","doi":"10.1890/11-1538.1","usgsCitation":"Kendall, W.L., White, G.C., Hines, J., Langtimm, C.A., and Yoshizaki, J., 2012, Estimating parameters of hidden Markov models based on marked individuals: use of robust design data: Ecology, v. 93, no. 4, p. 913-920, https://doi.org/10.1890/11-1538.1.","productDescription":"8 p.","startPage":"913","endPage":"920","numberOfPages":"8","costCenters":[{"id":531,"text":"Patuxent Wildlife Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":257309,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":257270,"rank":9999,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.1890/11-1538.1","linkFileType":{"id":5,"text":"html"}}],"volume":"93","issue":"4","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"505a0b34e4b0c8380cd52607","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Kendall, William L. wkendall@usgs.gov","contributorId":406,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Kendall","given":"William","email":"wkendall@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[{"id":531,"text":"Patuxent Wildlife Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":464352,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"White, Gary C.","contributorId":66831,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"White","given":"Gary","email":"","middleInitial":"C.","affiliations":[{"id":6621,"text":"Colorado State University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":464355,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Hines, James E. jhines@usgs.gov","contributorId":3506,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Hines","given":"James E.","email":"jhines@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":531,"text":"Patuxent Wildlife Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":464354,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Langtimm, Catherine A. 0000-0001-8499-5743 clangtimm@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8499-5743","contributorId":3045,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Langtimm","given":"Catherine","email":"clangtimm@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[{"id":17705,"text":"Wetland and Aquatic Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":566,"text":"Southeast Ecological Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":464353,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Yoshizaki, Jun","contributorId":69403,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Yoshizaki","given":"Jun","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":464356,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5}]}}

In this study, <sup>15</sup>N NMR was used to establish for the first time that UV irradiation effects the incorporation of nitrate and nitrite nitrogen into aquatic natural organic matter (NOM). Irradiation of <sup>15</sup>N-labeled nitrate in aqueous solution with an unfiltered medium pressure mercury lamp resulted in the incorporation of nitrogen into Suwannee River NOM (SRNOM) via nitrosation and other reactions over a range of pH from approximately 3.2 to 8.0, both in the presence and absence of bicarbonate, confirming photonitrosation of the NOM. The major forms of the incorporated label include nitrosophenol, oxime/nitro, pyridine, nitrile, and amide nitrogens. Natural organic matter also catalyzed the reduction of nitrate to ammonia on irradiation. The nitrosophenol and oxime/nitro nitrogens were found to be susceptible to photodegradation on further irradiation when nitrate was removed from the system. At pH 7.5, unfiltered irradiation resulted in the incorporation of <sup>15</sup>N-labeled nitrite into SRNOM in the form of amide, nitrile, and pyridine nitrogen. In the presence of bicarbonate at pH 7.4, Pyrex filtered (cutoff below 290&ndash;300 nm) irradiation also effected incorporation of nitrite into SRNOM as amide nitrogen. We speculate that nitrosation of NOM from the UV irradiation of nitrate also leads to production of nitrogen gas and nitrous oxide, a process that may be termed photo-chemodenitrification. Irradiation of SRNOM alone resulted in transformation or loss of naturally abundant heterocyclic nitrogens.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Journal of Environmental Quality","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"American Society of Agronomy","publisherLocation":"Madison, WI","doi":"10.2134/jeq2011.0335","usgsCitation":"Thorn, K.A., and Cox, L.G., 2012, Ultraviolet irradiation effects incorporation of nitrate and nitrite nitrogen into aquatic natural organic matter: Journal of Environmental Quality, v. 41, no. 3, p. 865-881, https://doi.org/10.2134/jeq2011.0335.","productDescription":"17 p.","startPage":"865","endPage":"881","numberOfPages":"17","costCenters":[{"id":145,"text":"Branch of Regional Research-Central Region","active":false,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":474475,"rank":10000,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.2134/jeq2011.0335","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":257302,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":257285,"rank":9999,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.2134/jeq2011.0335","linkFileType":{"id":5,"text":"html"}}],"volume":"41","issue":"3","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2012-05-01","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"505bbc0ce4b08c986b3289ce","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Thorn, Kevin A. 0000-0003-2236-5193 kathorn@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2236-5193","contributorId":3288,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Thorn","given":"Kevin","email":"kathorn@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[{"id":5044,"text":"National Research Program - Central Branch","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":464552,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Cox, Larry G. lgcox@usgs.gov","contributorId":3310,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Cox","given":"Larry","email":"lgcox@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"G.","affiliations":[],"preferred":true,"id":464553,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}}

The surge amplitude decreases at a rate of 40&ndash;50 cm/km across the mangrove forest and at a rate of 20 cm/km across the areas with a mixture of mangrove islands with open water. In contrast, the amplitudes of stormsurges at the front of the mangrove zone increase by about 10&ndash;30% because of the \"blockage\" of mangroves to surge water, which can cause greater impacts on structures at the front of mangroves than the case without mangroves. The mangrove forest can also protect the wetlands behind the mangrove zone against surge inundation from a Category 5 hurricane with a fast forward speed of 11.2 m/s (25 mph). However, the forest cannot fully attenuate stormsurges from a Category 5 hurricane with a slow forward speed of 2.2 m/s (5 mph) and reduced surges can still affect the wetlands behind the mangrove zone.

Samplings were conducted monthly in the main channel of rivers and in marginal lagoons from October through March during three consecutive spawning seasons in 2007-2010. Most species spawn in December especially in Verde River. Main river channels are spawning habitats and marginal lagoons are nursery areas for most fish, mainly for migratory species. The tributaries have high diversity of larvae species: a total of 56 taxa representing 21 families, dominated by Characidae. Sedentary species without parental care are more abundant (45.7%), and many long-distance migratory fish species are present (17.4%). Migrators included <i>Prochilodus lineatus</i>, <i>Rhaphiodon vulpinus</i>, <i>Hemisorubim platyrhynchos</i>, <i>Pimelodus maculatus</i>, <i>Pseudoplatystoma corruscans</i>, <i>Sorubim lima</i>, two threatened migratory species: <i>Salminus brasiliensis</i> and <i>Zungaro jahu</i>, and one endangered migratory species: <i>Brycon orbignyanus</i>. Most of these migratory species are vital to commercial and recreational fishing, and their stocks have decreased drastically in the last decades, attributed to habitat alteration, especially impoundments. The fish ladder at Porto Primavera Dam&nbsp;appears to be playing an important role in re-establishing longitudinal connectivity among critical habitats, allowing ascent to migratory fish species, and thus access to upstream reaches and tributaries. Establishment of Permanent Conservation Units in tributaries can help preserve habitats identified as essential spawning and nursery areas, and can be key to the maintenance and conservation of the fish species in the Paraná River basin. </p>","largerWorkType":{"id":4,"text":"Book"},"largerWorkTitle":"Larvae: Morphology, biology, and life cycle","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":15,"text":"Monograph"},"language":"English","publisher":"Nova Science Publishers","publisherLocation":"New York, NY","usgsCitation":"Makrakis, M.C., da Silva, P.S., Makrakis, S., de Lima, A.F., de Assumpcao, L., de Paula, S., Miranda, L.E., and Dias, J.H., 2012, Spawning and nursery habitats of neotropical fish species in the tributaries of a regulated river, chap. <i>of</i> Larvae: Morphology, biology, and life cycle, 15 p.","productDescription":"15 p.","ipdsId":"IP-040656","costCenters":[{"id":198,"text":"Coop Res Unit Atlanta","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":340934,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":340933,"rank":1,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://www.novapublishers.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=31406"}],"country":"Brazil","otherGeospatial":"Upper Paraná River","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -54.25048828125,\n              -24.216909537721747\n            ],\n            [\n              -50.71289062499999,\n              -24.216909537721747\n            ],\n            [\n              -50.71289062499999,\n              -19.652934210612436\n            ],\n            [\n              -54.25048828125,\n              -19.652934210612436\n            ],\n            [\n              -54.25048828125,\n              -24.216909537721747\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":8,"text":"Raleigh PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"591183b8e4b0e541a03c1a82","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Makrakis, Maristela Cavicchioli","contributorId":90208,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Makrakis","given":"Maristela","email":"","middleInitial":"Cavicchioli","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":694479,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"da Silva, Patricia S.","contributorId":191844,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"da Silva","given":"Patricia","email":"","middleInitial":"S.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":694480,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Makrakis, Sergio","contributorId":95349,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Makrakis","given":"Sergio","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":694481,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"de Lima, Ariane F.","contributorId":191845,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"de Lima","given":"Ariane","email":"","middleInitial":"F.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":694482,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"de Assumpcao, Lucileine","contributorId":191846,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"de Assumpcao","given":"Lucileine","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":694483,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"de Paula, Salete","contributorId":191847,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"de Paula","given":"Salete","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":694484,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6},{"text":"Miranda, Leandro E. 0000-0002-2138-7924 smiranda@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2138-7924","contributorId":531,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Miranda","given":"Leandro","email":"smiranda@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"E.","affiliations":[{"id":198,"text":"Coop Res Unit Atlanta","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":564294,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":7},{"text":"Dias, Joao Henrique Pinheiro","contributorId":23843,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Dias","given":"Joao","email":"","middleInitial":"Henrique Pinheiro","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":694485,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":8}]}}

The field site is within the area burned by the 2010 Fourmile Canyon Fire in Colorado, USA. Physical and hydraulic property characterization included ash thickness, particle size distribution, hydraulic conductivity, and soil water retention curves. Soil water content and matric potential were measured indirectly at several depths below the soil surface to document hydrologic states underneath the ash layer in the unsaturated zone, whereas precipitation and surface runoff were measured directly. Measurements of soil water content showed that almost no water infiltrated below the ash layer into the near-surface soil in the burned site at the storm time scale (i.e., minutes to hours). Runoff generation processes were controlled by and highly sensitive to ash thickness and ash hydraulic properties. The ash layer stored from 97% to 99% of rainfall, which was critical for reducing runoff amounts. The hydrologic response to two rain storms with different rainfall amounts, rainfall intensity, and durations, only ten days apart, indicated that runoff generation was predominantly by the saturation-excess mechanism perched at the ash-soil interface during the first storm and predominantly by the infiltration-excess mechanism at the ash surface during the second storm. Contributing area was not static for the two storms and was 4% (saturation excess) to 68% (infiltration excess) of the catchment area. Our results showed the importance of including hydrologic conditions and hydraulic properties of the ash layer in postwildfire runoff generation models.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Water Resources Research","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"American Geophysical Union","publisherLocation":"Washington, D.C.","doi":"10.1029/2011WR011470","usgsCitation":"Ebel, B.A., Moody, J.A., and Martin, D.A., 2012, Hydrologic conditions controlling runoff generation immediately after wildfire: Water Resources Research, v. 48, 13 p.; W03529, https://doi.org/10.1029/2011WR011470.","productDescription":"13 p.; W03529","numberOfPages":"13","costCenters":[{"id":145,"text":"Branch of Regional Research-Central Region","active":false,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":474480,"rank":10000,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1029/2011wr011470","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":257301,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":257289,"rank":9999,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.1029/2011WR011470","linkFileType":{"id":5,"text":"html"}}],"country":"United States","state":"Colorado","volume":"48","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2012-03-30","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"505a358ce4b0c8380cd5fffc","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Ebel, Brian A. 0000-0002-5413-3963 bebel@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5413-3963","contributorId":2557,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Ebel","given":"Brian","email":"bebel@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[{"id":438,"text":"National Research Program - Western Branch","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":5044,"text":"National Research Program - Central Branch","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":464551,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Moody, John A. 0000-0003-2609-364X jamoody@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2609-364X","contributorId":771,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Moody","given":"John","email":"jamoody@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[{"id":37277,"text":"WMA - Earth System Processes Division","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":5044,"text":"National Research Program - Central Branch","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":464549,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Martin, Deborah A. 0000-0001-8237-0838 damartin@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8237-0838","contributorId":1900,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Martin","given":"Deborah","email":"damartin@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[{"id":595,"text":"U.S. Geological Survey","active":false,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":464550,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3}]}}

The geomorphic community has put much effort into understanding the causes of arroyo cutting in the late Quaternary and in the modern record (late 1800s), while little effort has gone into understanding how arroyos fill and the sources of this fill. Here, we successfully develop a geographic information system (GIS)-modeled sediment budget that is based on detailed field measurements of hillslope and channel erosion and deposition. Field measurements were made in two arroyo basins draining different lithologies and undergoing different land disturbance (Volcano Hill Wash, 9.30 km<sup>2</sup>; Arroyo Chavez, 2.11 km<sup>2</sup>) over a 3 yr period. Both basins have incised channels that formed in response to the late nineteenth-century incision of the Rio Puerco. Large volumes of sediment were generated during arroyo incision, equal to more than 100 yr of the current annual total sediment load (bed load + suspended load) in each basin. Downstream reaches in both arroyos are presently aggrading, and the main source of the sediment is from channel erosion in upstream reaches and first- and second-order tributaries. The sediment budget shows that channel erosion is the largest source of sediment in the current stage of the arroyo cycle: 98% and 80% of the sediment exported out of Volcano Hill Wash and Arroyo Chavez, respectively. The geomorphic surface most affected by arroyo incision and one of the most important sediment sources is the valley alluvium, where channel erosion, gullying, soil piping, and grazing all occur. Erosion rates calculated for the entire Volcano Hill Wash (-0.26 mm/yr) and Arroyo Chavez (-0.53 mm/yr) basins are higher than the modeled upland erosion rates in each basin, reflecting the large contributions from channel erosion. Erosion rates in each basin are affected by a combination of land disturbance (grazing) and lithology--erodible sandstones and shales in Arroyo Chavez compared with basalt for Volcano Hill Wash. Despite these differences, hillslope sediment yields are similar to long-term denudation rates. As the arroyo fills over time from mouth to headwaters, hillslope sediment becomes a more significant sediment source.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"GSA Bulletin","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"Gelogical Society of America","publisherLocation":"Boulder, CO","doi":"10.1130/B30392.1","usgsCitation":"Gellis, A., Pavich, M., Ellwein, A., Aby, S., Clark, I., Wieczorek, M., and Viger, R., 2012, Erosion, storage, and transport of sediment in two subbasins of the Rio Puerco, New Mexico: GSA Bulletin, v. 124, no. 5/6, p. 817-841, https://doi.org/10.1130/B30392.1.","productDescription":"25 p.","startPage":"817","endPage":"841","numberOfPages":"24","costCenters":[{"id":374,"text":"Maryland Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":257264,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":257254,"rank":9999,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.1130/B30392.1","linkFileType":{"id":5,"text":"html"}}],"country":"United States","state":"New Mexico","otherGeospatial":"Rio Puerco","volume":"124","issue":"5/6","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2011-12-09","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"505a0a41e4b0c8380cd52284","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Gellis, A.

We conducted a 3-year study (2007&ndash;2009) to determine the influence of CRP on fawn ecology during a time of declining CRP enrollment. We captured and radiocollared 81 fawn white-tailed deer during 15 May to 15 June 2007&ndash;2009 in north-central South Dakota, collected 6,505 locations, and documented 70 summer home ranges. Mean summer home ranges increased temporally during 2007&ndash;2009 (<i>P</i> < 0.001) and corresponded to a 41% loss of CRP grasslands in the area (2.3% loss in land cover and approx. 21% loss in cover habitat in the study area) over the duration of the study. Additionally, mean movement between daily locations increased (<i>P</i> < 0.001) from 2007 to 2009. Analysis of covariance models indicated that change in CRP influenced home-range size, and change in CRP and wheat influenced daily movement. Smaller home ranges and reduced movements were associated with greater quantity of CRP available to fawns, and increased movements were associated with more acreage of wheat available to fawns. Fawns shifted resource selection during the summer at a mean age ranging from 48.8 days to 58.6 days, and this shift was associated with height of corn (83&ndash;87 cm). During early summer, fawns consistently selected for CRP; selection of wheat progressed temporally from avoidance in 2007 to selection in 2009. During late summer, fawns consistently selected for corn habitat and used CRP at least in proportion to its availability. Reduction in CRP-grasslands seemed to increase fawn home-range size and daily movements and, influenced change in resource selection to wheat. Current legislation mandates continued decrease in CRP enrollment and concomitant increase in the planting of corn for ethanol production. Management of habitat throughout the grasslands of the Northern Great Plains that maximizes cover habitats would provide neonates with adequate cover for protection from predators.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Journal of Wildlife Management","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"Wiley","publisherLocation":"Hoboken, NJ","doi":"10.1002/jwmg.288","usgsCitation":"Grovenburg, T.W., Klaver, R.W., and Jenks, J., 2012, Spatial ecology of white-tailed deer fawns in the northern Great Plains: implications of loss of conservation reserve program grasslands: Journal of Wildlife Management, v. 76, no. 3, p. 632-644, https://doi.org/10.1002/jwmg.288.","productDescription":"13 p.","startPage":"632","endPage":"644","costCenters":[{"id":222,"text":"Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":257248,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":257233,"rank":9999,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.1002/jwmg.288","linkFileType":{"id":5,"text":"html"}}],"country":"United States","otherGeospatial":"Great Plains","volume":"76","issue":"3","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2011-12-07","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"505b9478e4b08c986b31aae3","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Grovenburg, Troy W.","contributorId":57712,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Grovenburg","given":"Troy","email":"","middleInitial":"W.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":349723,"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":222,"text":"Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":199,"text":"Coop Res Unit Leetown","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":349721,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Jenks, Jonathan A.","contributorId":51591,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Jenks","given":"Jonathan A.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":349722,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3}]}}

A classic case is the grass&ndash;fire cycle in which grass invasion increases the frequency, scale and/or intensity of wildfires and promotes the continued invasion of invasive grasses. Despite wide acceptance of the grass&ndash;fire cycle, questions linger about the relative roles that interspecific plant competition and fire play in ecosystem transformations.  <b>Location</b>  Sonoran Desert Arizona Upland of the Santa Catalina Mountains, Arizona, USA.  <b>Methods</b>  We measured species cover, density and saguaro (<i>Carnegiea gigantea</i>) size structure along gradients of <i>Pennisetum ciliare</i> invasion at 10 unburned/ungrazed <i>P. ciliare</i> patches. Regression models quantified differences in diversity, cover and density with respect to <i>P. ciliare</i> cover, and residence time and a Fisher's exact test detected demographic changes in saguaro populations. Because <i>P. ciliare</i> may have initially invaded locations that were both more invasible and less diverse, we ran analyses with and without the plots in which initial infestations were located.  <b>Results</b>  Richness and diversity decreased with <i>P. ciliare</i> cover as did cover and density of most dominant species. Richness and diversity declined with increasing time since invasion, suggesting an ongoing transformation. The proportion of old-to-young <i>Carnegiea gigantea</i> was significantly lower in plots with dominant <i>P. ciliare</i> cover.  <b>Main conclusions</b>  Rich desert scrub (15&ndash;25 species per plot) was transformed into depauperate grassland (2&ndash;5 species per plot) within 20 years following <i>P. ciliare</i> invasion without changes to the fire regime. While the onset of a grass&ndash;fire cycle may drive ecosystem change in the later stages and larger scales of grass invasions of arid lands, competition by <i>P. ciliare</i> can drive small-scale transformations earlier in the invasion.

To facilitate conservation planning, we developed a conceptual model depicting elements critical for amphibian conservation in the northern Great Plains. First, we linked upland, wetland, and landscape features to specific ecological attributes. Ecological attributes included adult survival; reproduction and survival to metamorphosis; and successful dispersal and recolonization. Second, we linked ecosystem drivers, ecosystem stressors, and ecological effects of the region to each ecological attribute. Lastly, we summarized information on these ecological attributes and the drivers, stressors, and effects that work in concert to influence the maintenance of viable and genetically diverse amphibian populations in the northern Great Plains. While our focus was on the northern Great Plains, our conceptual model can be tailored to other geographic regions and taxa.","language":"English","publisher":"University of Nebraska","publisherLocation":"Lincoln, NE","usgsCitation":"Mushet, D.M., Euliss, N.H., and Stockwell, C., 2012, A conceptual model to facilitate amphibian conservation in the northern Great Plains: Great Plains Research, v. 22, no. 1, p. 45-58.","productDescription":"14 p.","startPage":"45","endPage":"58","costCenters":[{"id":480,"text":"Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":257246,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":382733,"rank":2,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://digitalcommons.unl.edu/greatplainsresearch/1217/"}],"country":"United States","state":"Iowa, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming","otherGeospatial":"Northern Great Plains","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -105.16113281249999,\n              40.9964840143779\n            ],\n            [\n              -101.93115234375,\n              40.027614437486655\n            ],\n            [\n              -95.6689453125,\n              40.06125658140474\n            ],\n            [\n              -94.24072265625,\n              40.68063802521456\n            ],\n            [\n              -95.69091796875,\n              45.506346901083425\n            ],\n            [\n              -96.04248046875,\n              48.66194284607006\n            ],\n            [\n              -96.56982421875,\n              49.05227025601607\n            ],\n            [\n              -110.654296875,\n              48.99463598353405\n            ],\n            [\n              -105.16113281249999,\n              40.9964840143779\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"22","issue":"1","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5059e394e4b0c8380cd460ee","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Mushet, David M. 0000-0002-5910-2744 dmushet@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5910-2744","contributorId":1299,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Mushet","given":"David","email":"dmushet@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[{"id":480,"text":"Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":464465,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Euliss, Ned H.

We evaluated whether migrating scoters followed a ‘silver wave’ of resource availability, analogous to the ‘green wave’ of high-quality foraging conditions that herbivorous waterfowl follow during spring migration. We confirmed that herring spawning activity began later in the year at higher latitudes, creating a northward-progressing wave of short-term localized food availability. Using satellite telemetry and aerial surveys, we documented the chronology of scoter spring migration and the use of stopover locations in relation to herring spawn timing and locations. We found that the migration chronology paralleled the northward progression of herring spawning events. Although there was considerable variability in the timing of both scoter migration and the initiation of herring spawning, the processes were related beyond a coincidental northward progression. During migration, 60% of the tracked scoters visited at least 1 spawn site, and those that used spawn sites were located on spawn sites for approximately one-third of their migration locations. Surf scoters showed close spatiotemporal associations with herring spawning events, confirming that the presence of herring spawn was a factor determining habitat use for many individuals.

An experimental test with brown treesnakes on Guam","docAbstract":"The effect of predators on the abundance of prey species is a topic of ongoing debate in ecology; the effect of snake predators on their prey has been less debated, as there exists a general consensus that snakes do not negatively influence the abundance of their prey. However, this viewpoint has not been adequately tested. We quantified the effect of brown treesnake (<i>Boiga irregularis</i>) predation on the abundance and size of lizards on Guam by contrasting lizards in two 1-ha treatment plots of secondary forest from which snakes had been removed and excluded vs. two 1-ha control plots in which snakes were monitored but not removed or excluded. We removed resident snakes from the treatment plots with snake traps and hand capture, and snake immigration into these plots was precluded by electrified snake barriers. Lizards were sampled in all plots quarterly for a year following snake elimination in the treatment plots. Following the completion of this experiment, we used total removal sampling to census lizards on a 100-m<sup>2</sup> subsample of each plot. Results of systematic lizard population monitoring before and after snake removal suggest that the abundance of the skink, Carlia ailanpalai, increased substantially and the abundance of two species of gekkonids, <i>Lepidodactylus lugubris</i> and <i>Hemidactylus frenatus</i>, also increased on snake-free plots. No treatment effect was observed for the skink <i>Emoia caeruleocauda</i>. Mean snout&ndash;vent length of all lizard species only increased following snake removal in the treatment plots. The general increase in prey density and mean size was unexpected in light of the literature consensus that snakes do not control the abundance of their prey species. Our findings show that, at least where alternate predators are lacking, snakes may indeed affect prey populations.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Ecology","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"Ecological Society of America","publisherLocation":"Ithaca, NY","doi":"10.1890/11-1359.1","usgsCitation":"Campbell, E., Yackel Adams, A., Converse, S., Fritts, T.H., and Rodda, G.H., 2012, Do predators control prey species abundance?

Key findings include: (1) Cultural ecosystem service opportunities were easiest to identify while supporting and regulatory services most challenging, (2) participants were highly educated, knowledgeable about nature and science, and have a strong connection to the outdoors, (3) some LULC classifications were logically and spatially associated with ecosystem services, and (4) despite limitations, the PPGIS method demonstrates potential for identifying ecosystem services to augment expert judgment and to inform public or environmental policy decisions regarding land use trade-offs.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Society and Natural Resources","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"Taylor and Francis","publisherLocation":"Philadelphia, PA","doi":"10.1080/08941920.2011.621511","usgsCitation":"Brown, G., Montag, J., and Lyon, K., 2012, Public participation GIS: a method for identifying ecosystems services: Society and Natural Resources, v. 25, no. 7, p. 633-651, https://doi.org/10.1080/08941920.2011.621511.","productDescription":"19 p.","startPage":"633","endPage":"651","costCenters":[{"id":291,"text":"Fort Collins Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":257237,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":257234,"rank":9999,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.1080/08941920.2011.621511","linkFileType":{"id":5,"text":"html"}}],"country":"United States","volume":"25","issue":"7","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"505a8fd5e4b0c8380cd7f9b4","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Brown, Greg","contributorId":61686,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Brown","given":"Greg","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":356020,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Montag, Jessica","contributorId":40057,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Montag","given":"Jessica","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":356019,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Lyon, Katie","contributorId":36406,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Lyon","given":"Katie","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":356018,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3}]}}

Although the exact nature and location of the proposed impact or explosion remain unclear, alleged evidence for the fallout comes from multiple sites across North America and a site in Belgium. At 6 of the 10 original sites (excluding the Carolina Bays), elevated concentrations of various \"impact markers\" were found in association with black mats that date to the onset of the Younger Dryas. Black mats are common features in paleowetland deposits and typically represent shallow marsh environments. In this study, we investigated black mats ranging in age from approximately 6 to more than 40 ka in the southwestern United States and the Atacama Desert of northern Chile. At 10 of 13 sites, we found elevated concentrations of iridium in bulk and magnetic sediments, magnetic spherules, and/or titanomagnetite grains within or at the base of black mats, regardless of their age or location, suggesting that elevated concentrations of these markers arise from processes common to wetland systems, and not a catastrophic extraterrestrial impact event.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America","publisherLocation":"Washington, D.C.","doi":"10.1073/pnas.1200296109","usgsCitation":"Pigati, J., Latorre, C., Rech, J.A., Betancourt, J.L., Martinez, K.E., and Budahn, J.R., 2012, Accumulation of impact markers in desert wetlands and implications for the Younger Dryas impact hypothesis: Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, v. 109, no. 19, p. 7208-7212, https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1200296109.","productDescription":"5 p.","startPage":"7208","endPage":"7212","costCenters":[{"id":308,"text":"Geology and Environmental Change Science Center","active":false,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":474484,"rank":10000,"type":{"id":41,"text":"Open Access External Repository Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1200296109","text":"External Repository"},{"id":257247,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":257236,"rank":9999,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1200296109","linkFileType":{"id":5,"text":"html"}}],"volume":"109","issue":"19","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2012-04-23","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5059e682e4b0c8380cd47462","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Pigati, Jeffrey S. 0000-0001-5843-6219","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5843-6219","contributorId":60068,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Pigati","given":"Jeffrey S.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":464456,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Latorre, Claudio","contributorId":94019,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Latorre","given":"Claudio","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":464457,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Rech, Jason A.","contributorId":30730,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Rech","given":"Jason","email":"","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":464455,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Betancourt, Julio L. 0000-0002-7165-0743 jlbetanc@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7165-0743","contributorId":3376,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Betancourt","given":"Julio","email":"jlbetanc@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[{"id":554,"text":"Science and Decisions Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":436,"text":"National Research Program - Eastern Branch","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":438,"text":"National Research Program - Western Branch","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":464453,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Martinez, Katherine E.","contributorId":19849,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Martinez","given":"Katherine","email":"","middleInitial":"E.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":464454,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Budahn, James R. 0000-0001-9794-8882 jbudahn@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9794-8882","contributorId":1175,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Budahn","given":"James","email":"jbudahn@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"R.","affiliations":[{"id":171,"text":"Central Mineral and Environmental Resources Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":464452,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6}]}}

However, productivity is another important aspect of avian conservation, and nest predation can be a large source of nesting mortality for passerines. Recent studies using video surveillance to identify nest predators allow researchers to start evaluating what methods could be used to mitigate nest predation to help passerines of conservation concern. From recent studies, we identified latitudinal and habitat-related patterns in the importance of predator groups that depredate passerine nests. We then reviewed how knowledge of specific nest predators can benefit conservation of bird species of concern. Mammals were the dominant predator group in northern grasslands. Snakes were the dominant predator group in southern habitats. Fire ants were only a nest predator in southern latitudes. Differences in the importance of predator species or groups were likely the result of both their geographic patterns of distribution and habitat preferences. Some direct and indirect predator control measures developed for waterfowl management potentially could be used to benefit passerine productivity. We reviewed three examples-cowbirds, snakes in shrublands, and ground squirrels in grasslands-to illustrate how different predator control strategies may be needed in different situations. Mitigation of passerine nest predation will need to be based on knowledge of predator communities to be effective. This requires large samples of predation events with identified predators; video technology is essential for this task.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Cooper Ornithological Society","usgsCitation":"Ribic, C., and Thompson, F., 2012, Conservation implications when the nest predators are known: Studies in Avian Biology, v. 43, p. 23-34.","productDescription":"12 p.","startPage":"23","endPage":"34","ipdsId":"IP-023210","costCenters":[{"id":199,"text":"Coop Res Unit Leetown","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":344977,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"43","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":9,"text":"Reston PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"599a9fb7e4b0b589267d58bf","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Ribic, Christine 0000-0003-2583-1778 caribic@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2583-1778","contributorId":147952,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Ribic","given":"Christine","email":"caribic@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":199,"text":"Coop Res Unit Leetown","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":5068,"text":"Midwest Regional Director's Office","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":708023,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Thompson, Frank","contributorId":178102,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Thompson","given":"Frank","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":708097,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}}
