However, because they consist predominantly of lateral motion, these faults are rarely associated with significant uplift or tsunami generation. And although submarine slides can generate tsunami, only a few per cent of all tsunami are believed to be triggered in this way. The 12 January M<sub>w</sub> 7.0 Haiti earthquake exhibited primarily strike-slip motion but nevertheless generated a tsunami. Here we present data from a comprehensive field survey that covered the onshore and offshore area around the epicentre to document that modest uplift together with slope failure caused tsunamigenesis. Submarine landslides caused the most severe tsunami locally. Our analysis suggests that slide-generated tsunami occur an order-of-magnitude more frequently along the Gonave microplate than global estimates predict. Uplift was generated because of the earthquake's location, where the Caribbean and Gonave microplates collide obliquely. The earthquake also caused liquefaction at several river deltas that prograde rapidly and are prone to failure. We conclude that coastal strike-slip fault systems such as the Enriquillo-Plantain Garden fault produce relief conducive to rapid sedimentation, erosion and slope failure, so that even modest predominantly strike-slip earthquakes can cause potentially catastrophic slide-generated tsunami - a risk that is underestimated at present.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Nature Geoscience","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"Nature Publishing Group","publisherLocation":"New York, NY","usgsCitation":"Hornbach, M.J., Braudy, N., Briggs, R., Cormier, M., Davis, M.B., Diebold, J.B., Dieudonne, N., Douilly, R., Frohlich, C., Gulick, S.P., Johnson, H.E., Mann, P., McHugh, C., Ryan-Mishkin, K., Prentice, C.S., Seeber, L., Sorlien, C., Steckler, M.S., Symithe, S.J., Taylor, F.W., and Templeton, J., 2010, High tsunami frequency as a result of combined strike-slip faulting and coastal landslides: Nature Geoscience, v. 3, p. 783-788.","productDescription":"6 p.","startPage":"783","endPage":"788","costCenters":[{"id":300,"text":"Geologic Hazards Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":204075,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":24514,"rank":100,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://www.nature.com/ngeo/journal/v3/n11/full/ngeo975.html","linkFileType":{"id":5,"text":"html"}}],"volume":"3","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4a60e4b07f02db6353a3","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Hornbach, Matthew J.","contributorId":14258,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Hornbach","given":"Matthew","email":"","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":347381,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Braudy, Nicole","contributorId":32782,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Braudy","given":"Nicole","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":347384,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Briggs, Richard W.","contributorId":94027,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Briggs","given":"Richard W.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":347397,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Cormier, Marie-Helene","contributorId":79765,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Cormier","given":"Marie-Helene","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":347394,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Davis, Marcy B.","contributorId":57728,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Davis","given":"Marcy","email":"","middleInitial":"B.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":347389,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Diebold, John B.","contributorId":66551,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Diebold","given":"John","email":"","middleInitial":"B.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":347391,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6},{"text":"Dieudonne, Nicole","contributorId":23817,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Dieudonne","given":"Nicole","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":347382,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":7},{"text":"Douilly, Roby","contributorId":68173,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Douilly","given":"Roby","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":347392,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":8},{"text":"Frohlich, Cliff","contributorId":96541,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Frohlich","given":"Cliff","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":347399,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":9},{"text":"Gulick, Sean P.S.","contributorId":101151,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Gulick","given":"Sean","email":"","middleInitial":"P.S.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":347400,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":10},{"text":"Johnson, Harold E.

Reductions of sea ice projected to occur in the Arctic by mid-century raise concerns for conservation of the Pacific walrus. To understand the significance of sea ice loss to the viability of walruses, it would be useful to better understand the spatial associations between the movements of sea ice and walruses. We investigated whether local-scale (~1 to 100 km) walrus movements correspond to movements of sea ice in the Bering Sea in early spring, using locations from radio-tracked walruses and measures of ice floe movements from processed synthetic aperture radar satellite imagery. We used generalized linear mixed-effects models to analyze the angle between walrus and ice floe movement vectors and the distance between the final geographic position of walruses and their associated ice floes (displacement), as functions of observation duration, proportion of time the walrus was in water, and geographic region. Analyses were based on 121 walrus-ice vector pairs and observations lasting 12 to 36 h. Angles and displacements increased with observation duration, proportion of time the walrus spent in the water, and varied among regions (regional mean angles ranged from 40&#xb0; to 81&#xb0; and mean displacements ranged from 15 to 35 km). Our results indicated a lack of correspondence between walruses and their initially associated ice floes, suggesting that local areas of walrus activities were independent of the movement of ice floes.","language":"English","publisher":"Inter-Research Science Center","publisherLocation":"Luneburg, Germany","doi":"10.3354/meps08575","usgsCitation":"Jay, C.V., Udevitz, M.S., Kwok, R., Fischbach, A.S., and Douglas, D.C., 2010, Divergent movements of walrus and sea ice in the northern Bering Sea: Marine Ecology Progress Series, v. 407, p. 293-302, https://doi.org/10.3354/meps08575.","productDescription":"10 p.","startPage":"293","endPage":"302","costCenters":[{"id":114,"text":"Alaska Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":475580,"rank":1,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.3354/meps08575","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":203875,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"otherGeospatial":"Bering Sea","volume":"407","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4a5fe4b07f02db6347b3","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Jay, Chadwick V. 0000-0002-9559-2189 cjay@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9559-2189","contributorId":192736,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Jay","given":"Chadwick","email":"cjay@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"V.","affiliations":[{"id":116,"text":"Alaska Science Center Biology MFEB","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":347551,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Udevitz, Mark S. 0000-0003-4659-138X mudevitz@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4659-138X","contributorId":3189,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Udevitz","given":"Mark","email":"mudevitz@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"S.","affiliations":[{"id":116,"text":"Alaska Science Center Biology MFEB","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":347550,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Kwok, Ron","contributorId":94026,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Kwok","given":"Ron","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":347552,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Fischbach, Anthony S. 0000-0002-6555-865X afischbach@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6555-865X","contributorId":2865,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Fischbach","given":"Anthony","email":"afischbach@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"S.","affiliations":[{"id":116,"text":"Alaska Science Center Biology MFEB","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":347549,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Douglas, David C. 0000-0003-0186-1104 ddouglas@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0186-1104","contributorId":2388,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Douglas","given":"David","email":"ddouglas@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"C.","affiliations":[{"id":116,"text":"Alaska Science Center Biology MFEB","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":347548,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5}]}}

In the Sacramento Valley, suitable habitats occur primarily in the central portion of the valley floor. Based upon the results of the factor analyses, recovery planning for T. gigas will require an on-the-ground assessment of the current distribution and abundance of T. gigas, maintaining the few remaining natural wetlands and the practice of rice agriculture in the Sacramento Valley, and studying the effects of agricultural practices and land use changes on populations of T. gigas.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Copeia","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"American Society of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists","publisherLocation":"Lawrence, KS","usgsCitation":"Halstead, B., Wylie, G.D., and Casazza, M.L., 2010, Habitat suitability and conservation of the giant gartersnake (Thamnophis gigas) in the Sacramento Valley of California: Copeia, v. 2010, no. 4, p. 591-599.","productDescription":"9 p.","startPage":"591","endPage":"599","numberOfPages":"9","costCenters":[{"id":651,"text":"Western Ecological Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":204023,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":24488,"rank":100,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://www.asihcopeiaonline.org/doi/abs/10.1643/CE-09-199","linkFileType":{"id":5,"text":"html"}}],"country":"United States","state":"California","otherGeospatial":"Sacramento Valley","volume":"2010","issue":"4","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4a7fe4b07f02db64877a","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Halstead, Brian J. 0000-0002-5535-6528 bhalstead@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5535-6528","contributorId":3051,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Halstead","given":"Brian J.","email":"bhalstead@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":651,"text":"Western Ecological Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":200,"text":"Coop Res Unit Seattle","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":348947,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Wylie, Glenn D. 0000-0002-7061-6658 glenn_wylie@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7061-6658","contributorId":3052,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Wylie","given":"Glenn","email":"glenn_wylie@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"D.","affiliations":[{"id":651,"text":"Western Ecological Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":348948,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Casazza, Michael L. 0000-0002-5636-735X mike_casazza@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5636-735X","contributorId":2091,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Casazza","given":"Michael","email":"mike_casazza@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[{"id":651,"text":"Western Ecological Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":348946,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3}]}}

This increase is due to a variety of factors including increased availability of all-terrain vehicles, infrastructure development (oil, gas, renewable energy, and ex-urban), and recreational activities. In addition to the direct impacts of road development, the presence and use of roads may alter resilience of adjoining areas through indirect effects such as altered site hydrologic and eolian processes, invasive seed dispersal, and sediment transport. There are few standardized methods for assessing impacts of transportation-related land-use activities on soils and vegetation in arid and semi-arid rangelands. Interpreting Indicators of Rangeland Health (IIRH) is an internationally accepted qualitative assessment that is applied widely to rangelands. We tested the sensitivity of IIRH to impacts of roads, trails, and pipelines on adjacent lands by surveying plots at three distances from these linear disturbances. We performed tests at 16 randomly selected sites in each of three ecosystems (Northern High Plains, Colorado Plateau, and Chihuahuan Desert) for a total of 208 evaluation plots. We also evaluated the repeatability of IIRH when applied to road-related disturbance gradients. Finally, we tested extent of correlations between IIRH plot attribute departure classes and trends in a suite of quantitative indicators. Results indicated that the IIRH technique is sensitive to direct and indirect impacts of transportation activities with greater departure from reference condition near disturbances than far from disturbances. Trends in degradation of ecological processes detected with qualitative assessments were highly correlated with quantitative data. Qualitative and quantitative assessments employed in this study can be used to assess impacts of transportation features at the plot scale. Through integration with remote sensing technologies, these methods could also potentially be used to assess cumulative impacts of transportation networks at the landscape scale.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Rangeland Ecology and Management","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"Society for Range Management","publisherLocation":"Wheat Ridge, CO","usgsCitation":"Duniway, M.C., Herrick, J.E., Pyke, D.A., and Toledo, D., 2010, Assessing transportation infrastructure impacts on rangelands: test of a standard rangeland assessment protocol: Rangeland Ecology and Management, v. 63, no. 5, p. 524-536.","productDescription":"13 p.","startPage":"524","endPage":"536","costCenters":[{"id":290,"text":"Forest and Rangeland Ecosystem Science Center","active":false,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":204143,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":24473,"rank":100,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://www.srmjournals.org/doi/abs/10.2111/REM-D-09-00176.1?journalCode=rama","linkFileType":{"id":5,"text":"html"}}],"country":"United States","volume":"63","issue":"5","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4abbe4b07f02db6729ec","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Duniway, Michael C. 0000-0002-9643-2785 mduniway@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9643-2785","contributorId":4212,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Duniway","given":"Michael","email":"mduniway@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"C.","affiliations":[{"id":568,"text":"Southwest Biological Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":348624,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Herrick, Jeffrey E.","contributorId":26054,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Herrick","given":"Jeffrey","email":"","middleInitial":"E.","affiliations":[{"id":12627,"text":"USDA-ARS Jornada Experimental Range, New Mexico State University, Las Cruces, NM 88003-8003, USA","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":348625,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Pyke, David A. 0000-0002-4578-8335 david_a_pyke@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4578-8335","contributorId":3118,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Pyke","given":"David","email":"david_a_pyke@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[{"id":290,"text":"Forest and Rangeland Ecosystem Science Center","active":false,"usgs":true},{"id":289,"text":"Forest and Rangeland Ecosys Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":348623,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Toledo, David","contributorId":91228,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Toledo","given":"David","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":348626,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4}]}}

The reliability of this method depends upon accurate determination of the partition coefficient between the fiber coating and water (K<sub>f</sub>). For some hydrophobic organic compounds (HOCs), K<sub>f</sub> values spanning 4 orders of magnitude have been reported for polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and water. However, 24% of the published data examined in this review did not pass the criterion for negligible depletion, resulting in questionable K<sub>f</sub> values. The range in reported K<sub>f</sub> is reduced to just over 2 orders of magnitude for some polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) when these questionable values are removed. Other factors that could account for the range in reported K<sub>f</sub>, such as fiber-coating thickness and fiber manufacturer, were evaluated and found to be insignificant. In addition to accurate measurement of K<sub>f</sub>, an understanding of the impact of environmental variables, such as temperature and ionic strength, on partitioning is essential for application of laboratory-measured K<sub>f</sub> values to field samples. To date, few studies have measured K<sub>f</sub> for HOCs at conditions other than at 20 degrees or 25 degrees C in distilled water. The available data indicate measurable variations in K<sub>f</sub> at different temperatures and different ionic strengths. Therefore, if the appropriate environmental variables are not taken into account, significant error will be introduced into calculated aqueous concentrations using this passive sampling technique. A multiparameter linear solvation energy relationship (LSER) was developed to estimate log K<sub>f</sub> in distilled water at 25 degrees C based on published physicochemical parameters. This method provided a good correlation (R2 = 0.94) between measured and predicted log K<sub>f</sub> values for several compound classes.

Yet, despite their seasonal proximity to urbanized areas in this region, there is limited information on patterns of wintering sea duck habitat use. It is difficult to gather information on sea ducks because of the relative inaccessibility of their offshore locations, their high degree of mobility, and their aggregated distributions. To characterize environmental conditions that affect wintering distributions, as well as their geographic ranges, we analyzed count data on five species of sea ducks (black scoters Melanitta nigra americana, surf scoters M. perspicillata, white-winged scoters M. fusca, common eiders Somateria mollissima, and long-tailed ducks Clangula hyemalis) that were collected during the Atlantic Flyway Sea Duck Survey for ten years starting in the early 1990s. We modeled count data for each species within ten-nautical-mile linear survey segments using a zero-inflated negative binomial model that included four local-scale habitat covariates (sea surface temperature, mean bottom depth, maximum bottom slope, and a variable to indicate if the segment was in a bay or not), one broad-scale covariate (the North Atlantic Oscillation), and a temporal correlation component. Our results indicate that species distributions have strong latitudinal gradients and consistency in local habitat use. The North Atlantic Oscillation was the only environmental covariate that had a significant (but variable) effect on the expected count for all five species, suggesting that broad-scale climatic conditions may be directly or indirectly important to the distributions of wintering sea ducks. Our results provide critical information on species-habitat associations, elucidate the complicated relationship between the North Atlantic Oscillation, sea surface temperature, and local sea duck abundances, and should be useful in assessing the impacts of climate change on seabirds.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Oecologia","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"Springer","publisherLocation":"Netherlands","doi":"10.1007/s00442-010-1622-4","usgsCitation":"Zipkin, E., Gardner, B., Gilbert, A.T., O’Connell, A.F., Royle, J., and Silverman, E.D., 2010, Distribution patterns of wintering sea ducks in relation to the North Atlantic Oscillation and local environmental characteristics: Oecologia, v. 163, no. 4, p. 893-902, https://doi.org/10.1007/s00442-010-1622-4.","productDescription":"10 p.","startPage":"893","endPage":"902","numberOfPages":"10","costCenters":[{"id":531,"text":"Patuxent Wildlife Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":204112,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":21676,"rank":200,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s00442-010-1622-4","linkFileType":{"id":5,"text":"html"}}],"country":"United States","volume":"163","issue":"4","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2010-04-04","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4a6de4b07f02db63f3a9","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Zipkin, Elise F.","contributorId":70528,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Zipkin","given":"Elise F.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":347136,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Gardner, Beth","contributorId":91612,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Gardner","given":"Beth","affiliations":[{"id":13553,"text":"University of Washington-Seattle","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":347139,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Gilbert, Andrew T.","contributorId":100974,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Gilbert","given":"Andrew","email":"","middleInitial":"T.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":347140,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"O’Connell, Allan F. 0000-0001-7032-7023 aoconnell@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7032-7023","contributorId":471,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"O’Connell","given":"Allan","email":"aoconnell@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"F.","affiliations":[{"id":531,"text":"Patuxent Wildlife Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":347135,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Royle, J.

The strategy of selective grouting was investigated in Antelope Valley, California, where groundwater supplies most of the water demand. Naturally occurring arsenic typically exceeds concentrations of 10 (mu or u)g/L in the water produced from these long-screened wells. The vertical distributions of arsenic concentrations in intervals of the aquifer contributing water to selected supply wells were characterized with depth-dependent water-quality sampling and flow logs. Arsenic primarily entered the lower half of the wells where lacustrine clay deposits and a deeper aquifer occurred. Five wells were modified by grouting from below the top of the lacustrine clay deposits to the bottom of the well, which reduced produced arsenic concentrations to less than 2 (mu or u)g/L in four of the five wells. Long-term viability of well modification and reduction of specific capacity was assessed for well 4-54 with AnalyzeHOLE, which creates and uses axisymmetric, radial MODFLOW models. Two radial models were calibrated to observed borehole flows, drawdowns, and transmissivity by estimating hydraulicconductivity values in the aquifer system and gravel packs of the original and modified wells. Lithology also constrained hydraulic-conductivity estimates as regularization observations. Well encrustations caused as much as 2 (mu or u)g/L increase in simulated arsenic concentration by reducing the contribution of flow from the aquifer system above the lacustrine clay deposits. Simulated arsenic concentrations in the modified well remained less than 3 (mu or u)g/L over a 20-year period.","language":"English","publisher":"Wiley","publisherLocation":"Hoboken, NJ","doi":"10.1111/j.1745-6584.2009.00670.x","usgsCitation":"Halford, K.J., Stamos, C., Nishikawa, T., and Martin, P., 2010, Arsenic management through well modification and simulation: Ground Water, v. 48, no. 4, p. 526-537, https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1745-6584.2009.00670.x.","productDescription":"12 p.","startPage":"526","endPage":"537","numberOfPages":"12","costCenters":[{"id":154,"text":"California Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":204111,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"48","issue":"4","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2010-06-22","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e49e3e4b07f02db5e59ed","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Halford, Keith J. 0000-0002-7322-1846 khalford@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7322-1846","contributorId":1374,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Halford","given":"Keith","email":"khalford@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[{"id":465,"text":"Nevada Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":350165,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Stamos, Christina L. 0000-0002-1007-9352","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1007-9352","contributorId":19593,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Stamos","given":"Christina L.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":350167,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Nishikawa, Tracy 0000-0002-7348-3838 tnish@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7348-3838","contributorId":1515,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Nishikawa","given":"Tracy","email":"tnish@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":154,"text":"California Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":350166,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Martin, Peter pmmartin@usgs.gov","contributorId":799,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Martin","given":"Peter","email":"pmmartin@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":154,"text":"California Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":350164,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4}]}}

Although now widely applied, questions exist concerning the scientific credibility of the conservation planning process and effectiveness of the plans. We used ants to assess performance of one of the first regional conservation plans developed in the United States, the Orange County Central‐Coastal Natural Community Conservation Plan (NCCP), in meeting its broader conservation objectives of biodiversity and ecosystem‐level protection. We collected pitfall data on ants for over 3 years on 172 sites established across a network of conservation lands in coastal southern California. Although recovered native ant diversity for the study area was high, site‐occupancy models indicated the invasive and ecologically disruptive Argentine ant (<span>Linepithema humile</span>) was present at 29% of sites, and sites located within 200 m of urban and agricultural areas were more likely to have been invaded. Within invaded sites, native ants were largely displaced, and their median species richness declined by more than 60% compared with uninvaded sites. At the time of planning, 24% of the 15,133‐ha reserve system established by Orange County NCCP fell within 200 m of an urban or agricultural edge.

To make such decisions, planners and managers must articulate more clearly the purposes of parks, what is valued, and what needs to be sustained. A key aim for conservation today is the maintenance and restoration of biodiversity, but a broader range of values are also likely to be considered important, including ecological integrity, resilience, historical fidelity (ie the ecosystem appears and functions much as it did in the past), and autonomy of nature. Until recently, the concept of “naturalness” was the guiding principle when making conservation‐related decisions in park and wilderness ecosystems. However, this concept is multifaceted and often means different things to different people, including notions of historical fidelity and autonomy from human influence. Achieving the goal of nature conservation intended for such areas requires a clear articulation of management objectives, which must be geared to the realities of the rapid environmental changes currently underway. We advocate a pluralistic approach that incorporates a suite of guiding principles, including historical fidelity, autonomy of nature, ecological integrity, and resilience, as well as managing with humility. The relative importance of these guiding principles will vary, depending on management goals and ecological conditions.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Ecological Society of America","doi":"10.1890/090089","usgsCitation":"Hobbs, R., Cole, D.N., Yung, L., Zavaleta, E.S., Aplet, G.H., Chapin, F.S., Landres, P.B., Parsons, D.J., Stephenson, N.L., White, P.S., Graber, D.M., Higgs, E.S., Millar, C., Randall, J.M., Tonnessen, K.A., and Woodley, S., 2010, Guiding concepts for park and wilderness stewardship in an era of global environmental change: Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, v. 8, no. 9, p. 483-490, https://doi.org/10.1890/090089.","productDescription":"8 p.","startPage":"483","endPage":"490","costCenters":[{"id":651,"text":"Western Ecological Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":475582,"rank":0,"type":{"id":41,"text":"Open Access External Repository Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.17615/wa53-km23","text":"External Repository"},{"id":382219,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"8","issue":"9","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2009-12-02","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4a81e4b07f02db64a268","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Hobbs, Richard J.","contributorId":59682,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Hobbs","given":"Richard J.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":346930,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Cole, David N.","contributorId":40086,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Cole","given":"David","email":"","middleInitial":"N.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":346927,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Yung, Laurie","contributorId":86647,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Yung","given":"Laurie","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":346935,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Zavaleta, Erika S.","contributorId":43233,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Zavaleta","given":"Erika","email":"","middleInitial":"S.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":346928,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Aplet, Gregory H.","contributorId":83801,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Aplet","given":"Gregory","email":"","middleInitial":"H.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":346934,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Chapin, F.

Sandbars that were maintained by annual floods and a large sediment supply are now fewer in number and smaller in area and volume. Efforts to maintain sandbars in the current era of dam management utilize controlled floods timed to occur during brief periods of sediment enrichment that result from tributary floods. Repeat surveys of 22 sandbars made before and after controlled floods conducted in 1996, 2004, and 2008 document changes in sandbar volume; and repeat surveys at more than 100 sites document changes in sandbar elevation and morphology for the 2008 event. Each of the controlled floods resulted in sandbar deposition that was followed by erosion in the 6-month post-flood period. Erosion rates are positively correlated with post-flood dam release volumes and negatively correlated with post-flood tributary sediment supply volume. October 2008 sandbar volume was similar or larger than sandbar volume in February 1996, before the first of the three controlled floods. Deposition during the 2008 controlled flood was also associated with increases in the quantity of backwater habitat, which is used by native and non-native fish.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Proceedings of the 2nd Joint Federal Interagency Conference on Sedimentation and Hydrologic Modeling","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"conferenceTitle":"Hydrology and Sedimentation for a Changing Future Existing and Emerging Issues","conferenceDate":"27-JUN-10","conferenceLocation":"Reston, VA","language":"English","publisher":"Advisory Committee on Water Information","usgsCitation":"Grams, P.E., Hazel, J.E., Schmidt, J.C., Kaplinski, M., Wright, S., Topping, D.J., and Melis, T., 2010, Geomorphic response of sandbars to the March 2008 high-flow experiment on the Colorado River downstream from Glen Canyon Dam: Proceedings of the 2nd Joint Federal Interagency Conference on Sedimentation and Hydrologic Modeling, 12 p.","productDescription":"12 p.","numberOfPages":"12","temporalStart":"1996-02-01","temporalEnd":"2008-10-31","costCenters":[{"id":568,"text":"Southwest Biological Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":203959,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":21758,"rank":300,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://acwi.gov/sos/pubs/2ndJFIC/Contents/5D_Grams.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}}],"projection":"Stateplane, Arizona Central Zone","datum":"NAD 1983","country":"United States","state":"Arizona","geographicExtents":"{ \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\", \"features\": [ { \"type\": \"Feature\", \"properties\": {}, \"geometry\": { \"type\": \"Polygon\", \"coordinates\": [ [ [ -114,35 ], [ -114,37 ], [ -111.5,37 ], [ -111.5,35 ], [ -114,35 ] ] ] } } ] }","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4ac8e4b07f02db67c0a1","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Grams, Paul E. 0000-0002-0873-0708 pgrams@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0873-0708","contributorId":1830,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Grams","given":"Paul","email":"pgrams@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"E.","affiliations":[{"id":568,"text":"Southwest Biological Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":349792,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Hazel, Joseph E.

We tested this concept using young-of-the-year (age 0) and juvenile (age 1+ yr) bull sharks Carcharhinus leucas from gill-net surveys conducted in Texas bays from 1976 to 2006 to estimate the potential nursery function of 9 coastal bays. Of the 9 bay systems considered as potential nursery habitat, only Matagorda Bay satisfied all 3 criteria for young-of-the-year bull sharks. Both Matagorda and San Antonio Bays met the criteria for juvenile bull sharks. Through these analyses we examined the utility of this approach for characterizing nursery areas and we also describe some practical considerations, such as the influence of the temporal or spatial scales considered when applying the nursery role concept to shark populations.","language":"English","publisher":"Inter-Research","doi":"10.3354/ab00290","usgsCitation":"Froeschke, J.T., Stunz, G., Sterba-Boatwright, B., and Wildhaber, M.L., 2010, An empirical test of the 'shark nursery area concept' in Texas bays using a long-term fisheries-independent data set: Aquatic Biology, v. 11, no. 1, p. 65-76, https://doi.org/10.3354/ab00290.","productDescription":"12 p.","startPage":"65","endPage":"76","costCenters":[{"id":192,"text":"Columbia Environmental Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":475586,"rank":1,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.3354/ab00290","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":204019,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Texas","volume":"11","issue":"1","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4ad8e4b07f02db684a76","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Froeschke, John T.","contributorId":101794,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Froeschke","given":"John","email":"","middleInitial":"T.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":347720,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Stunz, Gregory W.","contributorId":51006,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Stunz","given":"Gregory W.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":347718,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Sterba-Boatwright, Blair","contributorId":98866,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Sterba-Boatwright","given":"Blair","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":347719,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Wildhaber, Mark L. 0000-0002-6538-9083 mwildhaber@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6538-9083","contributorId":1386,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Wildhaber","given":"Mark","email":"mwildhaber@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[{"id":192,"text":"Columbia Environmental Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":347717,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4}]}}

We provide the background of GPS techniques that have been used to gather data for wildlife studies. We review how GPS has been integrated into functional systems with data storage, data transfer, power supplies, packaging and sensor technologies to collect temperature, activity, proximity and mortality data from terrestrial species and birds. GPS 'rapid fixing' technologies combined with sensors provide location, dive frequency and duration profiles, and underwater acoustic information for the study of marine species. We examine how these rapid fixing technologies may be applied to terrestrial and avian applications. We discuss positional data quality and the capability for high-frequency sampling associated with GPS locations. We present alternatives for storing and retrieving data by using dataloggers (biologging), radio-frequency download systems (e.g. very high frequency, spread spectrum), integration of GPS with other satellite systems (e.g. Argos, Globalstar) and potential new data recovery technologies (e.g. network nodes). GPS is one component among many rapidly evolving technologies. Therefore, we recommend that users and suppliers interact to ensure the availability of appropriate equipment to meet animal research objectives.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"Royal Society Publishing","publisherLocation":"London, UK","doi":"10.1098/rstb.2010.0090","usgsCitation":"Tomkiewicz, S.M., Fuller, M.R., Kie, J.G., and Bates, K.K., 2010, Global positioning system and associated technologies in animal behaviour and ecological research: Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, v. 365, no. 1550, p. 2163-2176, https://doi.org/10.1098/rstb.2010.0090.","productDescription":"14 p.","startPage":"2163","endPage":"2176","costCenters":[{"id":290,"text":"Forest and Rangeland Ecosystem Science Center","active":false,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":475583,"rank":1,"type":{"id":41,"text":"Open Access External Repository Page"},"url":"https://europepmc.org/articles/pmc2894966","text":"External Repository"},{"id":203958,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":266214,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.1098/rstb.2010.0090"}],"volume":"365","issue":"1550","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2010-07-27","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4abee4b07f02db674939","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Tomkiewicz, Stanley M.","contributorId":57199,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Tomkiewicz","given":"Stanley","email":"","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":348746,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Fuller, Mark R. 0000-0001-7459-1729 mark_fuller@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7459-1729","contributorId":2296,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Fuller","given":"Mark","email":"mark_fuller@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"R.","affiliations":[{"id":289,"text":"Forest and Rangeland Ecosys Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":290,"text":"Forest and Rangeland Ecosystem Science Center","active":false,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":348744,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Kie, John G.","contributorId":87274,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Kie","given":"John","email":"","middleInitial":"G.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":348747,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Bates, Kirk K.","contributorId":43723,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Bates","given":"Kirk","email":"","middleInitial":"K.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":348745,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4}]}}

Here we use Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) image swaths (Ta–T30) obtained from October 2004 to December 2007 to infer the geologic processes that have shaped Titan’s surface. These SAR swaths cover about 20% of the surface, at a spatial resolution ranging from ∼350</span><span>&nbsp;</span><span>m to ∼2</span><span>&nbsp;</span><span>km. The SAR data are distributed over a wide latitudinal and longitudinal range, enabling some conclusions to be drawn about the global distribution of processes. They reveal a geologically complex surface that has been modified by all the major geologic processes seen on Earth – volcanism, tectonism, impact cratering, and erosion and deposition by fluvial and aeolian activity. In this paper, we map geomorphological units from SAR data and analyze their areal distribution and relative ages of modification in order to infer the geologic evolution of Titan’s surface. We find that dunes and hummocky and mountainous terrains are more widespread than lakes, putative cryovolcanic features, mottled plains, and craters and crateriform structures that may be due to impact. Undifferentiated plains are the largest areal unit; their origin is uncertain. In terms of latitudinal distribution, dunes and hummocky and mountainous terrains are located mostly at low latitudes (less than 30°), with no dunes being present above 60°. Channels formed by fluvial activity are present at all latitudes, but lakes are at high latitudes only. Crateriform structures that may have been formed by impact appear to be uniformly distributed with latitude, but the well-preserved impact craters are all located at low latitudes, possibly indicating that more resurfacing has occurred at higher latitudes. Cryovolcanic features are not ubiquitous, and are mostly located between 30° and 60° north. We examine temporal relationships between units wherever possible, and conclude that aeolian and fluvial/pluvial/lacustrine processes are the most recent, while tectonic processes that led to the formation of mountains and Xanadu are likely the most ancient.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Elsevier","doi":"10.1016/j.icarus.2009.08.010","usgsCitation":"Lopes, R.M., Stofan, E.R., Peckyno, R., Radebaugh, J., Mitchell, K.L., Mitri, G., Wood, C.A., Kirk, R.L., Wall, S.D., Lunine, J., Hayes, A., Lorenz, R., Farr, T., Wye, L., Craig, J., Ollerenshaw, R.J., Janssen, M., LeGall, A., Paganelli, F., West, R., Stiles, B., Callahan, P., Anderson, Y., Valora, P., and Soderblom, L., 2010, Distribution and interplay of geologic processes on Titan from Cassini radar data: Icarus, v. 205, no. 2, p. 540-558, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.icarus.2009.08.010.","productDescription":"19 p.","startPage":"540","endPage":"558","costCenters":[{"id":131,"text":"Astrogeology Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":409500,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"otherGeospatial":"Saturn, Titan","volume":"205","issue":"2","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4a81e4b07f02db64a2cc","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Lopes, R.

Multiple methods are available to identify taxonomic groups (e.g., morphology, genetics), and one that has played an important role for avian taxonomists over the years is plumage coloration. With the advent of electronic devices that can quickly and accurately quantify plumage coloration, the potential of using coloration as an identifier for distinct taxonomic groups, even when differences are subtle, becomes possible. In this study, we evaluated the degree to which plumage coloration differs among the four subspecies of the willow flycatcher Empidonax traillii, evaluated sources of variation, and considered the utility of plumage coloration to assign subspecies membership for individuals of unknown origin. We used a colorimeter to measure plumage coloration of 374 adult willow flycatchers from 29 locations across their breeding range in 2004 and 2005. We found strong statistical differences among the mean plumage coloration values of the four subspecies; however, while individuals tended to group around their respective subspecies' mean color value, the dispersion of individuals around such means overlapped. Mean color values for each breeding site of the three western subspecies clustered together, but the eastern subspecies' color values were dispersed among the other subspecies, rather than distinctly clustered. Additionally, sites along boundaries showed evidence of intergradation and intermediate coloration patterns. We evaluated the predictive power of colorimeter measurements on flycatchers by constructing a canonical discriminant model to predict subspecies origin of migrants passing through the southwestern U.S. Considering only western subspecies, we found that individuals can be assigned with reasonable certainty. Applying the model to migrants sampled along the Colorado River in Mexico and the U.S. suggests different migration patterns for the three western subspecies. We believe that the use of plumage coloration, as measured by electronic devices, can provide a powerful tool to look at ecological questions in a wide range of avian species.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Journal of Avian Biology","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"Wiley","publisherLocation":"Hoboken, NJ","usgsCitation":"Paxton, E.H., Sogge, M.K., Koronkiewicz, T.J., McLeod, M.A., and Theimer, T.C., 2010, Geographic variation in the plumage coloration of willow flycatchers Empidonax traillii: Journal of Avian Biology, v. 41, no. 2, p. 128-138.","productDescription":"11 p.","startPage":"128","endPage":"138","costCenters":[{"id":568,"text":"Southwest Biological Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":204088,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":24431,"rank":100,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1600-048X.2009.04773.x/abstract","linkFileType":{"id":5,"text":"html"}}],"country":"United States;Mexico","volume":"41","issue":"2","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4b1be4b07f02db6a8ffb","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Paxton, Eben H. 0000-0001-5578-7689","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5578-7689","contributorId":19640,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Paxton","given":"Eben","email":"","middleInitial":"H.","affiliations":[{"id":5049,"text":"Pacific Islands Ecosys Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":351192,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Sogge, Mark K. 0000-0002-8337-5689 mark_sogge@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8337-5689","contributorId":3710,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Sogge","given":"Mark","email":"mark_sogge@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"K.","affiliations":[{"id":5079,"text":"Pacific Regional Director's Office","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":351191,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Koronkiewicz, Thomas J.","contributorId":48691,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Koronkiewicz","given":"Thomas","email":"","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":351193,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"McLeod, Mary Anne","contributorId":104204,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"McLeod","given":"Mary","email":"","middleInitial":"Anne","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":351195,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Theimer, Tad C.","contributorId":72073,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Theimer","given":"Tad","email":"","middleInitial":"C.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":351194,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5}]}}

This includes many populations and species of amphibians. Although numerous factors are affecting amphibian populations, we show potential direct and indirect effects of climate change on amphibians at the individual, population and community level. Shifts in amphibian ranges are predicted. Changes in climate may affect survival, growth, reproduction and dispersal capabilities. Moreover, climate change can alter amphibian habitats including vegetation, soil, and hydrology. Climate change can influence food availability, predator-prey relationships and competitive interactions which can alter community structure. Climate change can also alter pathogen-host dynamics and greatly influence how diseases are manifested. Changes in climate can interact with other stressors such as UV-B radiation and contaminants. The interactions among all these factors are complex and are probably driving some amphibian population declines and extinctions.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"MDPI","doi":"10.3390/d2020281","usgsCitation":"Blaustein, A.R., Walls, S., Bancroft, B.A., Lawler, J.J., Searle, C.L., and Gervasi, S.S., 2010, Direct and indirect effects of climate change on amphibian populations: Diversity, v. 2, no. 2, p. 281-313, https://doi.org/10.3390/d2020281.","productDescription":"33 p.","startPage":"281","endPage":"313","costCenters":[{"id":566,"text":"Southeast Ecological Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":475588,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/d2020281","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":382100,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"2","issue":"2","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2010-02-25","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4a82e4b07f02db64ac8b","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Blaustein, Andrew R.","contributorId":44276,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Blaustein","given":"Andrew","email":"","middleInitial":"R.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":347925,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Walls, Susan C. 0000-0001-7391-9155","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7391-9155","contributorId":52284,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Walls","given":"Susan C.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":347926,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Bancroft, Betsy A.","contributorId":38700,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Bancroft","given":"Betsy","email":"","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":347923,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Lawler, Joshua J.","contributorId":73327,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Lawler","given":"Joshua","email":"","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":347927,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Searle, Catherine L.","contributorId":43483,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Searle","given":"Catherine","email":"","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":347924,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Gervasi, Stephanie S.","contributorId":83251,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Gervasi","given":"Stephanie","email":"","middleInitial":"S.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":347928,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6}]}}

The average level of androstenedione for nestling owls was 1.92 - 0.11 ng/ml and levels remained constant throughout development. Levels were significantly higher in males than females. The average androstenedione level was 1.77 - 0.16 ng/ml for male nestlings and 1.05 - 0.24 ng/ml for female nestlings. Hatching order did not affect levels of either androgen.

Kittiwakes are surface feeders and thus can compensate for low food availability only by increasing their foraging range and/or devoting more time to foraging. The species is widely studied in many respects, but long-distance foraging and the limitations of conventional radio telemetry have kept its foraging behavior largely out of view. The development of Global Positioning System (GPS) loggers is advancing rapidly. With devices as small as 8 g now available, it is possible to use this technology for tracking relatively small species of oceanic birds like kittiwakes. Here we present the first results of GPS telemetry applied to Black-legged Kittiwakes in 2007 in the North Pacific. All but one individual foraged in the neritic zone north of the island. Three birds performed foraging trips only close to the colony (within 13 km), while six birds had foraging ranges averaging about 40 km. The maximum foraging range was 59 km, and the maximum distance traveled was 165 km. Maximum trip duration was 17 h (mean 8 h). An apparently bimodal distribution of foraging ranges affords new insight on the variable foraging behaviour of Black-legged Kittiwakes. Our successful deployment of GPS loggers on kittiwakes holds much promise for telemetry studies on many other bird species of similar size and provides an incentive for applying this new approach in future studies.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"Springer","publisherLocation":"Netherlands","doi":"10.1007/s10336-009-0479-y","usgsCitation":"Kotzerka, J., Garthe, S., and Hatch, S.A., 2010, GPS tracking devices reveal foraging strategies of black-legged kittiwakes: Journal of Ornithology, v. 151, no. 2, p. 459-467, https://doi.org/10.1007/s10336-009-0479-y.","productDescription":"9 p.","startPage":"459","endPage":"467","onlineOnly":"N","additionalOnlineFiles":"N","costCenters":[{"id":114,"text":"Alaska Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":475590,"rank":2,"type":{"id":41,"text":"Open Access External Repository Page"},"url":"https://hal.science/hal-00568362","text":"External Repository"},{"id":204048,"rank":1,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Alaska","geographicExtents":"{ \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\", \"features\": [ { \"type\": \"Feature\", \"properties\": {}, \"geometry\": { \"type\": \"Polygon\", \"coordinates\": [ [ [ -147,59.25 ], [ -147,60.333333333333336 ], [ -146.08333333333334,60.333333333333336 ], [ -146.08333333333334,59.25 ], [ -147,59.25 ] ] ] } } ] }","volume":"151","issue":"2","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2009-12-12","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4b28e4b07f02db6b14d2","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Kotzerka, Jana","contributorId":15330,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Kotzerka","given":"Jana","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":347482,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Garthe, Stefan","contributorId":51900,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Garthe","given":"Stefan","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":347483,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Hatch, Scott A. 0000-0002-0064-8187 shatch@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0064-8187","contributorId":2625,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Hatch","given":"Scott","email":"shatch@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[{"id":116,"text":"Alaska Science Center Biology MFEB","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":347481,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3}]}}

Demographic studies provide managers with information to assess future trends on the density, distribution, health, and population changes of importance or value, including Joshua trees (Yucca brevifolia). Demographic research provides the potential to understand the combined impacts of climate change and land-use practices and determine if strategies for protecting important species are likely to succeed or fall short of management goals and will identify factors that have the potential to de-stabilize populations outside the realm of natural variation so that management strategies can be developed to circumvent challenges for key species, processes, and ecosystems. The National Park Service and US Geological Survey are collaborating to collect demographic information about the demographics of Joshua tree in the Mojave Desert.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Science Newsletter","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"Mojave National Preserve","publisherLocation":"Barstow, CA","usgsCitation":"Esque, T., Reynolds, B., DeFalco, L., and Waitman, B., 2010, Demographic studies of Joshua trees in Mojave Desert National Parks: demography with emphasis on germination and recruitment: Science Newsletter, no. 1, p. 9-12.","productDescription":"4 p.","startPage":"9","endPage":"12","numberOfPages":"3","costCenters":[{"id":651,"text":"Western Ecological Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":24389,"rank":100,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://www.nps.gov/moja/naturescience/sciencenews.htm","linkFileType":{"id":5,"text":"html"}},{"id":204060,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Arizona;California;Nevada","otherGeospatial":"Mojave Desert National Parks","geographicExtents":"{ \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\", \"features\": [ { \"type\": \"Feature\", \"properties\": {}, \"geometry\": { \"type\": \"Polygon\", \"coordinates\": [ [ [ -118.33333333333333,33 ], [ -118.33333333333333,37.5 ], [ -112.75,37.5 ], [ -112.75,33 ], [ -118.33333333333333,33 ] ] ] } } ] }","issue":"1","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4ab2e4b07f02db66ecfe","contributors":{"editors":[{"text":"Hughson, Debra","contributorId":70506,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Hughson","given":"Debra","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":508214,"contributorType":{"id":2,"text":"Editors"},"rank":1}],"authors":[{"text":"Esque, T.

Linking seabird movements with environmental conditions over vast expanses of the world's open ocean, however, remains difficult. Seabirds of the order Procellariiformes (e.g., petrels, albatrosses, and shearwaters) depend largely on wind and wave energy for efficient flight. We present a new method for quantifying the movements of far-ranging seabirds in relation to ocean winds measured by the SeaWinds scatterometer onboard the QuikSCAT satellite. We apply vector correlation (as defined by Crosby et al. in J Atm Ocean Tech 10:355-367, 1993) to evaluate how the trajectories (ground speed and direction) for five procellariiform seabirds outfitted with satellite transmitters are related to ocean winds. Individual seabirds (Sooty Shearwater, Pink-footed Shearwater, Hawaiian Petrel, Grey-faced Petrel, and Black-footed Albatross) all traveled predominantly with oblique, isotropic crossing to quartering tail-winds (i.e., 105-165 degrees in relation to birds' trajectory). For all five seabirds, entire track line trajectories were significantly correlated with co-located winds. Greatest correlations along 8-day path segments were related to wind patterns during birds' directed, long-range migration (Sooty Shearwater) as well as movements associated with mega-scale meteorological phenomena, including Pacific Basin anticyclones (Hawaiian Petrel, Grey-faced Petrel) and eastward-propagating north Pacific cyclones (Black-footed Albatross). Wind strength and direction are important factors related to the overall movements that delineate the distribution of petrels at sea. We suggest that vector correlation can be used to quantify movements for any marine vertebrate when tracking and environmental data (winds or currents) are of sufficient quality and sample size. Vector correlation coefficients can then be used to assess population--or species-specific variability and used to test specific hypotheses related to how animal movements are associated with fluid environments.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Marine Biology","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"Springer","publisherLocation":"Netherlands","usgsCitation":"Adams, J., and Flora, S., 2010, Correlating seabird movements with ocean winds: linking satellite telemetry with ocean scatterometry.: Marine Biology, v. 157, no. 4, p. 915-929.","productDescription":"15 p.","startPage":"915","endPage":"929","numberOfPages":"15","costCenters":[{"id":651,"text":"Western Ecological Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":204090,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":24376,"rank":9999,"type":{"id":1,"text":"Abstract"},"url":"https://www.springerlink.com/content/n507147405615063/abstract/","linkFileType":{"id":5,"text":"html"}}],"volume":"157","issue":"4","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4ad8e4b07f02db68482a","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Adams, Josh 0000-0003-3056-925X josh_adams@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3056-925X","contributorId":2422,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Adams","given":"Josh","email":"josh_adams@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":651,"text":"Western Ecological Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":349341,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Flora, Stephanie","contributorId":12610,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Flora","given":"Stephanie","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":349342,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}}
