Examples of IDIs include scent station, tracking tube, snow track, tracking plate, and hair snare surveys. Our model is maximum likelihood, and it can be used to estimate site occupancy and model factors influencing patterns of occupancy and abundance in space. Under certain circumstances, it can also be used to estimate abundance. We evaluated model properties using Monte Carlo simulations and illustrate the method with tracking tube and scent station data.

These wetlands provide valuable ecosystem services and produce 50% to 80% of the continent's ducks.  We explored the broad spatial and temporal patterns across the PPR between climate and wetland water levels and vegetation by applying a wetland simulation model (WETSIM) to 18 stations with 95-year weather records.  Simulations suggest that the most productive habitat for breeding waterfowl would shift under a drier climate from the center of the PPR (the Dakotas and southeastern Saskatchewan) to the wetter eastern and northern fringes, areas currently less productive or where most wetlands have been drained.  Unless these wetlands are protected and restored, there is little insurance for waterfowl against future climate warming.  WETSIM can assist wetland managers in allocating restoration dollars in an uncertain climate future.","language":"English","publisher":"Oxford Academic","doi":"10.1641/0006-3568(2005)055[0863:VONPWT]2.0.CO;2","usgsCitation":"Johnson, W., Millett, B., Gilmanov, T., Voldseth, R.A., Guntenspergen, G.R., and Naugle, D., 2005, Vulnerability of northern prairie wetlands to climate change: BioScience, v. 55, no. 10, p. 863-872, https://doi.org/10.1641/0006-3568(2005)055[0863:VONPWT]2.0.CO;2.","productDescription":"10 p.","startPage":"863","endPage":"872","numberOfPages":"10","costCenters":[{"id":531,"text":"Patuxent Wildlife Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":477617,"rank":1,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1641/0006-3568(2005)055[0863:vonpwt]2.0.co;2","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":196337,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"Canada, United States","state":"Alberta, Iowa, Manitoba, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Saskatchewan, South Dakota","otherGeospatial":"Prairie Potholes region","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -95.625,\n              44.402391829093915\n            ],\n            [\n              -93.6474609375,\n              41.1455697310095\n            ],\n            [\n              -91.1865234375,\n              42.00032514831621\n            ],\n            [\n              -93.8671875,\n              47.040182144806664\n            ],\n            [\n              -96.1962890625,\n              50.064191736659104\n            ],\n            [\n              -96.6357421875,\n              50.764259357116465\n            ],\n            [\n              -97.20703125,\n              51.56341232867588\n            ],\n            [\n              -98.61328125,\n              51.01375465718821\n            ],\n            [\n              -100.8544921875,\n              50.958426723359935\n            ],\n            [\n              -117.6416015625,\n              53.25206880589411\n            ],\n            [\n              -116.1474609375,\n              51.6180165487737\n            ],\n            [\n              -114.2578125,\n              48.951366470947725\n            ],\n            [\n              -111.4453125,\n              47.040182144806664\n            ],\n            [\n              -108.28125,\n              47.78363463526376\n            ],\n            [\n              -105.4248046875,\n              47.60616304386874\n            ],\n            [\n              -101.7333984375,\n              46.98025235521883\n            ],\n            [\n              -100.5029296875,\n              45.61403741135093\n            ],\n            [\n              -99.4482421875,\n              43.26120612479979\n            ],\n            [\n              -97.6025390625,\n              41.86956082699455\n            ],\n            [\n              -95.5810546875,\n              44.24519901522129\n            ],\n            [\n              -95.625,\n              44.402391829093915\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"55","issue":"10","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4a0de4b07f02db5fd5da","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Johnson, W.

These may be hard to implement at large spatial scales. In contrast, binomial mixture models enable abundance estimation without individual identification, based simply on temporally and spatially replicated counts. Here, we evaluate mixture models using data from the national breeding bird monitoring program in Switzerland, where some 250 1-km</span><sup>2</sup><span> quadrats are surveyed using the territory mapping method three times during each breeding season. We chose eight species with contrasting distribution (wide–narrow), abundance (high–low), and detectability (easy–difficult). Abundance was modeled as a random effect with a Poisson or negative binomial distribution, with mean affected by forest cover, elevation, and route length. Detectability was a logit-linear function of survey date, survey date-by-elevation, and sampling effort (time per transect unit). Resulting covariate effects and parameter estimates were consistent with expectations. Detectability per territory (for three surveys) ranged from 0.66 to 0.94 (mean 0.84) for easy species, and from 0.16 to 0.83 (mean 0.53) for difficult species, depended on survey effort for two easy and all four difficult species, and changed seasonally for three easy and three difficult species. Abundance was positively related to route length in three high-abundance and one low-abundance (one easy and three difficult) species, and increased with forest cover in five forest species, decreased for two nonforest species, and was unaffected for a generalist species. Abundance estimates under the most parsimonious mixture models were between 1.1 and 8.9 (median 1.8) times greater than estimates based on territory mapping; hence, three surveys were insufficient to detect all territories for each species. We conclude that binomial mixture models are an important new approach for estimating abundance corrected for detectability when only repeated-count data are available. Future developments envisioned include estimation of trend, occupancy, and total regional abundance.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Ecological Society of America","doi":"10.1890/04-1120","usgsCitation":"Kery, M., Royle, J., and Schmid, H., 2005, Modeling avian abundance from replicated counts using binomial mixture models: Ecological Applications, v. 15, no. 4, p. 1450-1461, https://doi.org/10.1890/04-1120.","productDescription":"12 p.","startPage":"1450","endPage":"1461","numberOfPages":"12","costCenters":[{"id":531,"text":"Patuxent Wildlife Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":202207,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"15","issue":"4","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4b05e4b07f02db6999a2","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Kery, Marc","contributorId":168361,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Kery","given":"Marc","affiliations":[{"id":12551,"text":"Swiss Ornithological Institute, Sempach, Switzerland","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":341819,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Royle, J.

Stream reaches with open canopies were narrower than forested reaches (4.1 versus 5.0 m, respectively).  There were no differences in habitat diversity (variation in velocity, depth, or bed particle size) between open and forested reaches.  However, absence of local forest cover corresponded to decreased large wood and increased algal chlorophyll a standing crop biomass.  These differences in basal food resources translated into higher densities of fishes in open (9.0 individuals?m?2) versus forested (4.9 individuals?m?2) reaches, primarily attributed to higher densities of the herbivore Campostoma oligolepis.  Densities of terrestrial invertebrate inputs were higher in open reaches; however, trends suggested higher biomass of terrestrial inputs in forested reaches and a corresponding higher density of terrestrial prey consumed by water column feeding fishes.  Reach-scale biotic integrity (macroinvertebrates, salamanders, and fishes) was largely unaffected by differences in canopy cover.  In urbanizing areas where catchment land cover drives habitat and biotic quality, management practices that rely exclusively on forested riparian areas for stream protection are unlikely to be effective at maintaining ecosystem integrity.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","collaboration":"6461_Roy.pdf","usgsCitation":"Roy, A., Faust, C., Freeman, M.C., and Meyer, J., 2005, Reach-scale effects of riparian forest cover on urban stream ecosystems: Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences, v. 62, no. 10, p. 2312-2329.","productDescription":"2312-2329","startPage":"2312","endPage":"2329","numberOfPages":"18","costCenters":[{"id":531,"text":"Patuxent Wildlife Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":202049,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":17369,"rank":200,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://rparticle.web-p.cisti.nrc.ca/rparticle/AbstractTemplateServlet?calyLang=eng&journal=cjfas&volume=62&year=0&issue=10&msno=f05-135","linkFileType":{"id":5,"text":"html"}}],"volume":"62","issue":"10","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4ad7e4b07f02db68439f","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Roy, A.H.","contributorId":24065,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Roy","given":"A.H.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":341995,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Faust, C.L.","contributorId":57193,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Faust","given":"C.L.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":341996,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Freeman, Mary C. 0000-0001-7615-6923","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7615-6923","contributorId":99659,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Freeman","given":"Mary","email":"","middleInitial":"C.","affiliations":[{"id":531,"text":"Patuxent Wildlife Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":341998,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Meyer, J.L.","contributorId":73316,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Meyer","given":"J.L.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":341997,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4}]}}

We stratified streams and their subcatchments into 3 landcover categories based on imperviousness (&lt;10%, 10–20%, &gt;20% of subcatchment), and then estimated the degree of hydrologic alteration based on synoptic measurements of baseflow yield. We derived hydrologic variables from stage gauges at each study site for 1 y (January 2003–2004). Increased imperviousness was positively correlated with the frequency of storm events and rates of the rising and falling limb of the hydrograph (i.e., storm “flashiness”) during most seasons. Increased duration of low flows associated with imperviousness only occurred during the autumn low-flow period, and this measure corresponded with increased richness of lentic tolerant species. Altered storm flows in summer and autumn were related to decreased richness of endemic, cosmopolitan, and sensitive fish species, and decreased abundance of lentic tolerant species. Species predicted to be sensitive to urbanization, based on specific life-history or habitat requirements, also were related to stormflow variables and % fine bed sediment in riffles. Overall, hydrologic variables explained 22 to 66% of the variation in fish assemblage richness and abundance. Linkages between hydrologic alteration and fish assemblages were potentially complicated by contrasting effects of elevated flows on sediment delivery and scour, and mediating effects of high stream gradient on sediment delivery from elevated flows. However, stormwater management practices promoting natural hydrologic regimes are likely to reduce the impacts of catchment imperviousness on stream fish assemblages.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"University of Chicago Press","doi":"10.1899/04-022.1","usgsCitation":"Roy, A., Freeman, M.C., Freeman, B.J., Wenger, S., Ensign, W., and Meyer, J., 2005, Investigating hydrologic alteration as a mechanism of fish assemblage shifts in urbanizing streams: Journal of the North American Benthological Society, v. 24, no. 3, p. 656-678, https://doi.org/10.1899/04-022.1.","productDescription":"23 p.","startPage":"656","endPage":"678","numberOfPages":"23","costCenters":[{"id":531,"text":"Patuxent Wildlife Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":201846,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"24","issue":"3","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e48bfe4b07f02db53a99f","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Roy, A.H.","contributorId":24065,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Roy","given":"A.H.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":341829,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Freeman, Mary C. 0000-0001-7615-6923","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7615-6923","contributorId":99659,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Freeman","given":"Mary","email":"","middleInitial":"C.","affiliations":[{"id":531,"text":"Patuxent Wildlife Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":341833,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Freeman, B.

A national protocol for monitoring the abundance of possums, termed trap catch index (TCI), was adopted in 1996. The TCI requires that lines of leghold traps set at 20-m spacing are randomly located in a management area. The traps are set for 3 fine nights and checked daily, and possums are killed and traps reset. The TCI is the mean percentage of trap nights that possums were caught, corrected for sprung traps and nontarget captures, with trap line as the sampling unit. We studied 1 forest and 1 farmland area in the North Island, New Zealand, to address concerns that TCI estimates may not be readily comparable because of seasonal changes in the capture probability of possums. We located blocks of 6 trap lines at each area and randomly trapped 1 line in each block in 3 seasons (summer, winter, and spring) in 2000 and 2001. We developed a model to allow for variation in local population size and nightly capture probability, and fitted the model using the Bayesian analysis software&nbsp;</span><i>BUGS</i><span>. Capture probability declined with increasing abundance of possums, generating a nonlinear TCI. Capture probability in farmland was lower during spring relative to winter and summer, and to forest during summer. In the absence of a proven and cost-effective alternative, our results support the continued use of the TCI for monitoring the abundance of possums in New Zealand. Seasonal biases in the TCI should be minimized by conducting repeat sampling in the same season.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Wildlife Society","doi":"10.2193/0022-541X(2005)069[0976:NASBIA]2.0.CO;2","usgsCitation":"Forsyth, D.M., Link, W., Webster, R., Nugent, G., and Warburton, B., 2005, Nonlinearity and seasonal bias in an index of brushtail possum abundance: Journal of Wildlife Management, v. 69, no. 3, p. 976-984, https://doi.org/10.2193/0022-541X(2005)069[0976:NASBIA]2.0.CO;2.","productDescription":"9 p.","startPage":"976","endPage":"984","numberOfPages":"9","costCenters":[{"id":531,"text":"Patuxent Wildlife Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":202284,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"69","issue":"3","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4a60e4b07f02db6352b8","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Forsyth, David M.","contributorId":147652,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Forsyth","given":"David","email":"","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[{"id":16881,"text":"Department of Zoology, University of Melbourne, Victoria 3000, Australia","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":342013,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Link, William A. wlink@usgs.gov","contributorId":3465,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Link","given":"William A.","email":"wlink@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":531,"text":"Patuxent Wildlife Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":342010,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Webster, R.","contributorId":29548,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Webster","given":"R.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":342012,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Nugent, G.","contributorId":14089,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Nugent","given":"G.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":342011,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Warburton, B.","contributorId":102984,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Warburton","given":"B.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":342014,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5}]}}

Among the taxa present are three species of small-eared shrews, genus<span>&nbsp;</span><i><span class=\"genus-species\">Cryptotis</span></i>. One species,<span>&nbsp;</span><i><span class=\"genus-species\">Cryptotis merriami</span></i>, is relatively rare among the fossil remains. The other two shrews,<span>&nbsp;</span><i><span class=\"genus-species\">Cryptotis goodwini</span></i><span>&nbsp;</span>and<span>&nbsp;</span><i><span class=\"genus-species\">Cryptotis orophila</span></i>, are abundant and exhibit morphometrical variation distinguishing them from modern populations. Fossils of<span>&nbsp;</span><i><span class=\"genus-species\">C. goodwini</span></i><span>&nbsp;</span>are distinctly and consistently smaller than modern members of the species. To quantify the size differences, we derived common measures of body size for fossil<span>&nbsp;</span><i><span class=\"genus-species\">C. goodwini</span></i><span>&nbsp;</span>using regression models based on modern samples of shrews in the<span>&nbsp;</span><i><span class=\"genus-species\">Cryptotis mexicana</span></i>-group. Estimated mean length of head and body for the fossil sample is 72–79 mm, and estimated mean mass is 7.6–9.6 g. These numbers indicate that the fossil sample averaged 6–14% smaller in head and body length and 39–52% less in mass than the modern sample and that increases of 6–17% in head and body length and 65–108% in mass occurred to achieve the mean body size of the modern sample. Conservative estimates of fresh (wet) food intake based on mass indicate that such a size increase would require a 37–58% increase in daily food consumption. In contrast to<span>&nbsp;</span><i><span class=\"genus-species\">C. goodwini</span></i>, fossil<span>&nbsp;</span><i><span class=\"genus-species\">C. orophila</span></i><span>&nbsp;</span>from the cave is not different in mean body size from modern samples. The fossil sample does, however, show slightly greater variation in size than is currently present throughout the modern geographical distribution of the taxon. Moreover, variation in some other dental and mandibular characters is more constrained, exhibiting a more direct relationship to overall size. Our study of these species indicates that North American shrews have not all been static in size through time, as suggested by some previous work with fossil soricids.</p><p id=\"ID0ELB\">Lack of stratigraphic control within the site and our failure to obtain reliable radiometric dates on remains restrict our opportunities to place the site in a firm temporal context. However, the morphometrical differences we document for fossil<span>&nbsp;</span><i><span class=\"genus-species\">C. orophila</span></i><span>&nbsp;</span>and<span>&nbsp;</span><i><span class=\"genus-species\">C. goodwini</span></i><span>&nbsp;</span>show them to be distinct from modern populations of these shrews. Some other species of fossil mammals from McGrew Cave exhibit distinct size changes of the magnitudes experienced by many northern North American and some Mexican mammals during the transition from late glacial to Holocene environmental conditions, and it is likely that at least some of the remains from the cave are late Pleistocene in age. One curious factor is that, whereas most mainland mammals that exhibit large-scale size shifts during the late glacial/postglacial transition experienced dwarfing,<span>&nbsp;</span><i><span class=\"genus-species\">C. goodwini</span></i><span>&nbsp;</span>increased in size. The lack of clinal variation in modern<span>&nbsp;</span><i><span class=\"genus-species\">C. goodwini</span></i><span>&nbsp;</span>supports the hypothesis that size evolution can result from local selection rather than from cline translocation.

Analysis of variance components and costs for each stage of the survey design indicated that collecting 10 soil cores per field was near the optimum of 11–15, whereas sampling &gt;1 field per landowner provided few benefits because data from fields within landowners were highly correlated.&nbsp;<a class=\"topic-link\" title=\"Learn more about Coefficients of variation from ScienceDirect's AI-generated Topic Pages\" href=\"https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/engineering/coefficient-of-variation\" data-mce-href=\"https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/engineering/coefficient-of-variation\">Coefficients of variation</a>&nbsp;(CV) of annual estimates of rice abundance ranged from 0.23 to 0.31 and were limited by variation among landowners and the number of landowners sampled.

In contrast to a previous study in Massachusetts, we found no sex-ratio bias at hatching in any single year or in all years combined, nor was there a bias at fledging in all years combined, or in any single year. This difference is interesting because both colonies exhibit a female-biased sex ratio at breeding. After controlling for other factors, there was no difference in early growth or survival between male and female chicks, consistent with our previous studies and with the hypothesis that differences in growth and survival between males and females observed in other species are due to sexual size dimorphism.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"The Waterbird Society","doi":"10.1675/1524-4695(2005)028[0273:SRAEGP]2.0.CO;2","usgsCitation":"Szczys, P., Spendelow, J.A., and Nisbet, I.C., 2005, Sex ratio and early growth patterns of Roseate Tern chicks during five breeding seasons at Falkner Island, Connecticut, USA: Waterbirds, v. 28, no. 3, p. 273-279, https://doi.org/10.1675/1524-4695(2005)028[0273:SRAEGP]2.0.CO;2.","productDescription":"7 p.","startPage":"273","endPage":"279","numberOfPages":"7","costCenters":[{"id":531,"text":"Patuxent Wildlife Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":202050,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Connecticut","otherGeospatial":"Falkner Island","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -72.65432596206665,\n              41.21064804673336\n            ],\n            [\n              -72.6534354686737,\n              41.21123724333852\n            ],\n            [\n              -72.65302777290344,\n              41.21239140761164\n            ],\n            [\n              -72.65314579010008,\n              41.2131339361003\n            ],\n            [\n              -72.65352129936218,\n              41.213569764114084\n            ],\n            [\n              -72.65387535095215,\n              41.21352133892261\n            ],\n            [\n              -72.65400409698486,\n              41.21333570868986\n            ],\n            [\n              -72.65398263931274,\n              41.212754601947125\n            ],\n            [\n              -72.65419721603394,\n              41.212367194584225\n            ],\n            [\n              -72.65477657318114,\n              41.21240754962492\n            ],\n            [\n              -72.65495896339415,\n              41.21222998725971\n            ],\n            [\n              -72.6544976234436,\n              41.211753794901064\n            ],\n            [\n              -72.65490531921387,\n              41.210841755791776\n            ],\n            [\n              -72.65476584434509,\n              41.21059961937914\n            ],\n            [\n              -72.65432596206665,\n              41.21064804673336\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"28","issue":"3","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4b07e4b07f02db69adc5","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Szczys, Patricia","contributorId":35613,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Szczys","given":"Patricia","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":342005,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Spendelow, Jeffrey A. 0000-0001-8167-0898 jspendelow@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8167-0898","contributorId":4355,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Spendelow","given":"Jeffrey","email":"jspendelow@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[{"id":531,"text":"Patuxent Wildlife Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":342007,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Nisbet, Ian C.

A designated campfire policy was effective in decreasing number of fire sites, but little difference was found among policies regarding tree damage.

In this study, we considered the degree to which fine-scale spatial variations in richness could be related to fine-scale variations in abiotic and biotic factors. To examine spatial variation in richness, grids of 1&nbsp;m</span><sup>2</sup><span>&nbsp;plots were laid out at five sites within a coastal riverine wetland landscape. At each site, a 5&nbsp;×&nbsp;7 array of plots was established adjacent to the river’s edge with plots one meter apart. In addition to the estimation of species richness, environmental measurements included sediment salinity, plot microelevation, percent of plot recently disturbed, and estimated community biomass. Our analysis strategy was to combine the use of structural equation modeling (path modeling) with an assessment of spatial association. Mantel’s tests revealed significant spatial autocorrelation in species richness at four of the five sites sampled, indicating that richness in a plot correlated with the richness of nearby plots. We subsequently considered the degree to which spatial autocorrelations in richness could be explained by spatial autocorrelations in environmental conditions.

We demonstrate that a simulation-based design approach can be used in settings where the data distribution is from a spatio-temporal exponential family. The key random component in the conditional mean function from this distribution is then a spatio-temporal dynamic process.

We formulate a model for calling-index data in terms of the maximum potential calling index that could be observed at a site (the “latent abundance class”), given its underlying breeding population, and we focus attention on estimating the distribution of this latent abundance class. A critical consideration in estimating the latent structure is imperfect detection, which causes the observed abundance index to be less than or equal to the latent abundance class. We specify a multinomial sampling model for the observed abundance index that is conditional on the latent abundance class. Estimation of the latent abundance class distribution is based on the marginal likelihood of the index data, having integrated over the latent class distribution.

Using county-level data on vascular plants from the United States (3000 counties in the conterminous 48 states), we used the Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) to evaluate competing models predicting native and nonnative plant species density (number of species per square kilometer in a county) from various combinations of biotic variables (e.g., native bird species density, vegetation carbon, normalized difference vegetation index), environmental/topographic variables (elevation, variation in elevation, the number of land cover classes in the county, radiation, mean precipitation, actual evapotranspiration, and potential evapotranspiration), and human variables (human population density, cropland, and percentage of disturbed lands in a county). We found no evidence of a latitudinal gradient for the density of native plant species and a significant, slightly positive latitudinal gradient for the density of nonnative plant species. We found stronger evidence of a significant, positive productivity gradient (vegetation carbon) for the density of native plant species and nonnative plant species. We found much stronger significant relationships when biotic, environmental/topographic, and human variables were used to predict native plant species density and nonnative plant species density. Biotic variables generally had far greater influence in multivariate models than human or environmental/topographic variables. Later, we found that the best, single, positive predictor of the density of nonnative plant species in a county was the density of native plant species in a county. While further study is needed, it may be that, while humans facilitate the initial establishment invasions of nonnative plant species, the spread and subsequent distributions of nonnative species are controlled largely by biotic and environmental factors.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Ecological Society of America","doi":"10.1890/04-1195","usgsCitation":"Stohlgren, T.J., Barnett, D., Flather, C., Kartesz, J., and Peterjohn, B.G., 2005, Plant species invasions along the latitudinal gradient in the United States: Ecology, v. 86, no. 9, p. 2298-2309, https://doi.org/10.1890/04-1195.","productDescription":"12 p.","startPage":"2298","endPage":"2309","numberOfPages":"12","costCenters":[{"id":531,"text":"Patuxent Wildlife Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":477621,"rank":1,"type":{"id":41,"text":"Open Access External Repository Page"},"url":"https://cdr.lib.unc.edu/downloads/sq87c371h","text":"External Repository"},{"id":202139,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"86","issue":"9","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4ad9e4b07f02db6850a7","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Stohlgren, Thomas J.","contributorId":213895,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Stohlgren","given":"Thomas","email":"","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[{"id":38925,"text":"Natural Resource Ecology Laboratory, Colorado State University, Fort Collins","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":341794,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Barnett, David","contributorId":174944,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Barnett","given":"David","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":341796,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Flather, Curtis","contributorId":104779,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Flather","given":"Curtis","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":341798,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Kartesz, John","contributorId":11132,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Kartesz","given":"John","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":341795,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Peterjohn, Bruce G. bpeterjohn@usgs.gov","contributorId":4493,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Peterjohn","given":"Bruce","email":"bpeterjohn@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"G.","affiliations":[],"preferred":true,"id":341797,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5}]}}

Many studies of stream salamanders have relied on population indices based on counts rather than population estimates based on techniques such as capture-recapture and removal.  Application of estimation procedures allows the calculation of detection probabilities (the proportion of total animals present that are detected during a survey) and their associated sampling error, and may be essential for determining salamander population sizes and trends.  In 1999, we conducted capture-recapture and removal population estimation methods for Desmognathus salamanders at six streams in Shenandoah National Park, Virginia, USA.  Removal sampling appeared more efficient and detection probabilities from removal data were higher than those from capture-recapture.  During 2001-2004, we used removal estimation at eight streams in the park to assess the usefulness of this technique for long-term monitoring of stream salamanders.  Removal detection probabilities ranged from 0.39 to 0.96 for Desmognathus, 0.27 to 0.89 for Eurycea and 0.27 to 0.75 for northern spring (Gyrinophilus porphyriticus) and northern red (Pseudotriton ruber) salamanders across stream transects.  Detection probabilities did not differ across years for Desmognathus and Eurycea, but did differ among streams for Desmognathus.  Population estimates of Desmognathus decreased between 2001-2002 and 2003-2004 which may be related to changes in stream flow conditions.  Removal-based procedures may be a feasible approach for population estimation of salamanders, but field methods should be designed to meet the assumptions of the sampling procedures. New approaches to estimating stream salamander populations are discussed.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Alytes","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","collaboration":"The Amphibian Research and Monitoring Initiative, proceedings of a Symposium held in Norman, Oklahoma, USA, 2004.

The results offer an explanation for how the M haplotype is able to spread in coastal salt marshes and support the conclusion of DNA analyses that the M haplotype is a distinct ecotype of </span><i>P. australis</i><span>.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Inter-Research","doi":"10.3354/meps298001","usgsCitation":"Vasquez, E.A., Glenn, E.P., Brown, J.J., Guntenspergen, G.R., and Nelson, S.G., 2005, Salt tolerance underlies the cryptic invasion of North American salt marshes by an introduced haplotype of the common reed <i>Phragmites australis</i> (Poaceae): Marine Ecology Progress Series, v. 298, no. 1, p. 1-8, https://doi.org/10.3354/meps298001.","productDescription":"1-8","startPage":"1","endPage":"8","costCenters":[{"id":531,"text":"Patuxent Wildlife Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":477619,"rank":1,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.3354/meps298001","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":198106,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"298","issue":"1","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4a0ae4b07f02db5fbaf5","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Vasquez, Edward A.","contributorId":174717,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Vasquez","given":"Edward","email":"","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":341780,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Glenn, Edward P.","contributorId":19289,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Glenn","given":"Edward","email":"","middleInitial":"P.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":341779,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Brown, J.
