One of those species, the nonnative rainbow trout O. mykiss, has become widely distributed within the historical Atlantic salmon habitat, occupying an ecological niche similar to that of juvenile Atlantic salmon. Consequently, both a tributary's carrying capacity for Atlantic salmon and competition from established nonnative species are important when considering the feasibility of Atlantic salmon restoration. Estimation of juvenile rainbow trout production will help evaluate the capacity of tributaries to produce salmonids that occupy similar niches. Geostatistical methods were applied to standardized and efficiency-corrected electrofishing data from three of New York's best salmonid-producing streams to precisely estimate juvenile rainbow trout populations. Results indicated that each study stream could produce 20,000&ndash;40,000 age-0 and 4,000&ndash;10,000 age-1 and older rainbow trout per year. Statistical interpolation indicated areas of significantly different production potential and points of significant changes in productivity. Closer examination of the niche similarity and competitive potential of these two species is needed to properly interpret these estimates with regard to Atlantic salmon restoration.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Taylor & Francis","doi":"10.1577/M04-022.1","usgsCitation":"McKenna, J., and Johnson, J.H., 2005, Juvenile rainbow trout production in New York tributaries of Lake Ontario: implications for Atlantic salmon restoration: North American Journal of Fisheries Management, v. 25, no. 1, p. 391-403, https://doi.org/10.1577/M04-022.1.","productDescription":"13 p.","startPage":"391","endPage":"403","onlineOnly":"N","additionalOnlineFiles":"N","costCenters":[{"id":324,"text":"Great Lakes Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":133515,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"New York","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -76.2396240234375,\n              43.42100882994726\n            ],\n            [\n              -74.9212646484375,\n              43.42100882994726\n            ],\n            [\n              -74.9212646484375,\n              44.02837121279199\n            ],\n            [\n              -76.2396240234375,\n              44.02837121279199\n            ],\n            [\n              -76.2396240234375,\n              43.42100882994726\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"25","issue":"1","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2005-02-01","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4b32e4b07f02db6b48b8","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"McKenna, James E.

Our sample included 67 nesting cliffs that were occupied at least once between 1972 and 1999 and 38 cliffs with no known history of Peregrine Falcon occupancy. We measured 29 eyrie, cliff, and topographical features at each occupied nesting cliff and unused cliff in 1998a??1999 and used them to model the probability of peregrines occupying a cliff for a breeding attempt. Nearest-neighbor distance was significantly greater than both nearest-cliff distance and nearest-occupied distance (the distance between an occupied cliff and one occupied at least once, 1972a??1999). Thus, spacing among occupied cliffs was probably the most important factor limiting nesting-cliff availability, and, ultimately, peregrine nesting densities. Although some unused cliffs were unavailable in a given year because of peregrine spacing behavior, physical characteristics apparently made some cliffs unsuitable, regardless of availability. We confirmed the importance of several features common to descriptions of peregrine nesting habitat and found that peregrines occupied tall nesting cliffs with open views. They chose nesting cliffs with eyrie ledges that provided a moderate degree of overhang protection and that were inaccessible to ground predators. Overall, we concluded that certain features of a cliff were important in determining its suitability as a nest site, but within a given breeding season there also must be sufficient spacing between neighboring falcon pairs. Our habitat model and information on spacing requirements may be applicable to other areas of Greenland and the Arctic, and can be used to test the generalities about features of Peregrine Falcon nesting cliffs throughout the species' widespread distribution.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"Wilson Ornithological Society","doi":"10.1676/04-036.1","usgsCitation":"Wightman, C.S., and Fuller, M.R., 2005, Spacing and physical habitat selection patterns by peregrine falcons in central West Greenland: The Wilson Bulletin, v. 117, no. 3, p. 226-236, https://doi.org/10.1676/04-036.1.","productDescription":"11 p.","startPage":"226","endPage":"236","numberOfPages":"11","costCenters":[{"id":290,"text":"Forest and Rangeland Ecosystem Science Center","active":false,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":477850,"rank":1,"type":{"id":41,"text":"Open Access External Repository Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1676/04-036.1","text":"External Repository"},{"id":134242,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"Greenland","otherGeospatial":"Kangerlussuaq","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -54,\n              67.25\n            ],\n            [\n              -49.5,\n              67.25\n            ],\n            [\n              -49.5,\n              66.75\n            ],\n            [\n              -54,\n              66.75\n            ],\n            [\n              -54,\n              67.25\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"117","issue":"3","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e486be4b07f02db50abf2","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Wightman, Catherine S","contributorId":259260,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Wightman","given":"Catherine","email":"","middleInitial":"S","affiliations":[{"id":52338,"text":"Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":324149,"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":324148,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}}

For example, predicting the feasibility and likely effects of restoring top-level carnivores such as the gray wolf (</span><i>Canis lupus</i><span>) to North American wilderness areas is hampered by incomplete knowledge of the predator-prey system processes and properties. In such cases, global sensitivity measures, such as Sobol’ indices, allow one to quantify the effect of these uncertainties on model predictions. Sobol’ indices are calculated by decomposing the variance in model predictions (due to parameter uncertainty) into main effects of model parameters and their higher order interactions. Model parameters with large sensitivity indices can then be identified for further study in order to improve predictive capabilities. Here, we illustrate the use of Sobol’ sensitivity indices to examine the effect of parameter uncertainty on the predicted decline of elk (</span><i>Cervus elaphus</i><span>) population sizes following a hypothetical reintroduction of wolves to Olympic National Park, Washington, USA. The strength of density dependence acting on survival of adult elk and magnitude of predation were the most influential factors controlling elk population size following a simulated wolf reintroduction. In particular, the form of density dependence in natural survival rates and the per-capita predation rate together accounted for over 90% of variation in simulated elk population trends. Additional research on wolf predation rates on elk and natural compensations in prey populations is needed to reliably predict the outcome of predator–prey system behavior following wolf reintroductions.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Elsevier","doi":"10.1016/j.ecolmodel.2005.01.042","usgsCitation":"Fieberg, J., and Jenkins, K.J., 2005, Assessing uncertainty in ecological systems using global sensitivity analyses: A case example of simulated wolf reintroduction effects on elk: Ecological Modelling, v. 187, p. 259-280, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecolmodel.2005.01.042.","productDescription":"22 p.","startPage":"259","endPage":"280","numberOfPages":"22","costCenters":[{"id":290,"text":"Forest and Rangeland Ecosystem Science Center","active":false,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":133249,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"187","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4abbe4b07f02db6729f6","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Fieberg, J.","contributorId":106070,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Fieberg","given":"J.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":324133,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Jenkins, Kurt J. 0000-0003-1415-6607 kurt_jenkins@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1415-6607","contributorId":3415,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Jenkins","given":"Kurt","email":"kurt_jenkins@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"J.","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":324132,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}}

This, coupled with the fact that Mountain Plovers are thought to show fidelity to breeding grounds, leads to the prediction that the isolated breeding populations would be genetically distinct. This pattern, if observed, would have important management implications for a species at risk of extinction. Our study examined genetic variation at two mitochondrial regions for 20–30 individuals from each of four breeding sites. We found no evidence of significant population differentiation in the data from the control region or the ATPase 6/8 region. Nested-clade analysis revealed no relationship between haplotype phylogeny, and geography among the 47 control region haplotypes. In the ATPase 6/8 region, however, one of the two clades provided information suggesting that, historically, there has been continuous range expansion. Analysis of mismatch distributions and Tajima's D suggest that the Mountain Plover underwent a population expansion, following the Pleistocene glacial period. To explain the lack of detectable genetic differentiation among populations, despite their geographic isolation and fidelity to breeding locations, we speculate that there is sufficient female-mediated gene flow to homogenize gene pools among populations. Such gene flow might ensue if pair bonds are formed in mixed flocks on wintering grounds rather than on the summer breeding grounds.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"Cooper Ornithological Society","doi":"10.1650/7594","usgsCitation":"Oyler-McCance, S., St. John, J., Knopf, F., and Quinn, T., 2005, Population genetic analysis of Mountain Plover using mitochondrial DNA sequence data: The Condor, v. 107, no. 2, p. 353-362, https://doi.org/10.1650/7594.","productDescription":"10 p.","startPage":"353","endPage":"362","costCenters":[{"id":291,"text":"Fort Collins Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":477888,"rank":1,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1650/7594","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":133421,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"107","issue":"2","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4ad6e4b07f02db683ea6","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Oyler-McCance, S.J.","contributorId":75877,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Oyler-McCance","given":"S.J.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":322950,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"St. John, J.","contributorId":39737,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"St. John","given":"J.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":322949,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Knopf, F.L.","contributorId":26998,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Knopf","given":"F.L.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":322947,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Quinn, T.W.","contributorId":37285,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Quinn","given":"T.W.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":322948,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4}]}}

Others observe, however, that public participation in governance is declining. One possible explanation for this is that people do not know the technical and scientific language that is frequently used in these decision processes. Citizens simply lack the information to participate in a meaningful way. This is what is known as the “technical information quandary” (i.e., how citizen desires for increased participation can be balanced against the increasingly technical nature of public policy). Research on public participation suggests membership in voluntary associations or organizations is positively associated with higher levels of technical policy knowledge. Recreation management on the Colorado Plateau provides an excellent opportunity to examine the relationship between membership in voluntary organizations and the level of policy knowledge. In 1998, we surveyed the public living on the Colorado Plateau to ascertain their level of knowledge of technical terms and their level of participation in voluntary organizations. We found that a variety of factors were related to people's membership in these organizations. In particular, our findings indicate that those with higher levels of knowledge were significantly more likely to be members of voluntary organizations and that this knowledge was most likely to come from the organizations. These findings have important implications for environmental managers, as well as for the voluntary organizations themselves.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"Taylor & Francis","doi":"10.1017/S1466046605050209","usgsCitation":"Cline, K., and Lamb, B.L., 2005, Membership in voluntary organizations on the Colorado Plateau: A reexamination of the technical information quandary: Environmental Practice, v. 7, no. 3, p. 143-154, https://doi.org/10.1017/S1466046605050209.","productDescription":"12 p.","startPage":"143","endPage":"154","costCenters":[{"id":291,"text":"Fort Collins Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":132699,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"7","issue":"3","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2017-03-27","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4a2ce4b07f02db613ce7","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Cline, K.","contributorId":107654,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Cline","given":"K.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":322741,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Lamb, B.

Mammal exclosures, supplemented with an insecticide treatment at one site, were used to assess flow regime – herbivore interactions. Multiple regression analyses on data collected over 7–11 years indicated that growth of continuously injury-free saplings was positively related to either peak discharge or the maximum 30-day discharge but was not related to interannual decline in the late-summer river stage (Δ<i>W</i><sub>MIN</sub>) or precipitation. Growth was fastest where Δ<i>W</i><sub>MIN</sub> was smallest and depth to the late-summer water table moderate (≤1.5 m). Survivorship increased with Δ<i>W</i><sub>MIN</sub> where the water table was at shallow depths. Herbivory reduced long-term height growth and survivorship by up to 60% and 50%, respectively. The results support the concept that flow history and environmental context determine whether a particular flow will have a net positive or negative influence on growth and survivorship and suggest that the flow regime that best promotes sapling growth and survival along managed rivers features a short spring flood pulse and constant base flow, with no interannual variation in the hydrograph.

We estimated parameters for continuous-response inverse regression models and for discrete-response Bayesian probability models from data for each year independently.

Our results provide weak support for modeling latitude and isotope values as monotonic functions of one another, especially when data are pooled over known sources of variation such as sample year or location. We were unable to make even qualitative statements, such as north versus south, about the likely origin of birds using both δD and δ<sup>13</sup>C in inverse regression models; results were no better than random assignment. Probability models provided better results and a more natural framework for the problem. Correct assignment rates were highest when considering all three isotopes in the probability framework, but the use of even a single isotope was better than random assignment. The method appears relatively robust to temporal effects and is most sensitive to the isotope discrimination gradients over which samples are taken.

This suggests that movements of the greater sage-grouse are typically among neighbouring populations and not across the species, range. This may have important implications if management is considering translocations as they should involve neighbouring rather than distant populations to preserve any effects of local adaptation. We identified two populations in Washington with low levels of genetic variation that reflect severe habitat loss and dramatic population decline. Managers of these populations may consider augmentation from geographically close populations. One population (Lyon/Mono) on the southwestern edge of the species’ range appears to have been isolated from all other greater sage-grouse populations. This population is sufficiently genetically distinct that it warrants protection and management as a separate unit. The genetic data presented here, in conjunction with large-scale demographic and habitat data, will provide an integrated approach to conservation efforts for the greater sage-grouse.</p></div>","language":"English","publisher":"Wiley","doi":"10.1111/j.1365-294X.2005.02491.x","usgsCitation":"Oyler-McCance, S.J., Taylor, S., and Quinn, T., 2005, A multilocus population genetic survey of greater sage-grouse across their range: Molecular Ecology, v. 14, no. 5, p. 1293-1310, https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-294X.2005.02491.x.","productDescription":"18 p.","startPage":"1293","endPage":"1310","costCenters":[{"id":291,"text":"Fort Collins Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":134164,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"14","issue":"5","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2005-04-05","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4b23e4b07f02db6adf3f","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Oyler-McCance, Sara J. 0000-0003-1599-8769 sara_oyler-mccance@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1599-8769","contributorId":1973,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Oyler-McCance","given":"Sara","email":"sara_oyler-mccance@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[{"id":291,"text":"Fort Collins Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":321938,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Taylor, S.E.","contributorId":30948,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Taylor","given":"S.E.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":321936,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Quinn, T.W.","contributorId":37285,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Quinn","given":"T.W.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":321937,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3}]}}

Submerged vegetation, plankton, invertebrates, forage fish, and sediments were collected from three lakes with ongoing outbreaks of AVM and fed to American coots (</span><i>Fulica americana</i><span>), mallard ducks and ducklings (</span><i>Anas platyrhynchos</i><span>), quail (</span><i>Coturnix japonica</i><span>), and laboratory mice either via gavage or ad libitum. Tissues from AVM-affected coots with brain lesions were fed to ducklings, kestrels (</span><i>Falco sparverius</i><span>), and American crows (</span><i>Corvus brachyrhynchos</i><span>). Two mallards that ingested one sample of&nbsp;</span><i>Hydrilla verticillata</i><span>&nbsp;along with any biotic or abiotic material associated with its external surface developed brain lesions consistent with AVM, although neither of the ducks had clinical signs of disease. Ingestion of numerous other samples of&nbsp;</span><i>Hydrilla</i><span>&nbsp;from the AVM affected lakes and a lake with no prior history of AVM, other materials (sediments, algae, fish, invertebrates, and water from affected lakes), or tissues from AVM-affected birds did not produce either clinical signs or brain lesions in any of the other test animals in our studies. These results suggest that waterbirds are most likely exposed to the causative agent of AVM while feeding on aquatic vegetation, but we do not believe the vegetation itself is the agent. We hypothesize that the causative agent of AVM might either be accumulated by aquatic vegetation, such as&nbsp;</span><i>Hydrilla</i><span>, or associated with biotic or abiotic material on its external surfaces. In support of that hypothesis, two coots that ingested&nbsp;</span><i>Hydrilla</i><span>&nbsp;sampled from a lake with an ongoing AVM outbreak in wild birds developed neurologic signs within 9 days (ataxia, limb weakness, and incoordination), and one of two coots that ingested&nbsp;</span><i>Hydrilla</i><span>&nbsp;collected from the same site 13 days later became sick and died within 38 days. None of these three sick coots had definitive brain lesions consistent with AVM by light microscopy, but they had no gross or histologic lesions in other tissues. It is unclear if these birds died of AVM. Perhaps they did not ingest a dose sufficient to produce brain lesions or the lesions were ultrastructural. Alternatively, it is possible that a separate neurotoxic agent is responsible for the morbidity and mortality observed in these coots.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Wildlife Disease

During 1985&ndash;87, research documented grizzly bears fishing on 61% of the 124 tributary streams to the lake. Using track measurements, it was estimated that a minimum of 44 grizzly bears fished those streams annually. During 1994, non-native lake trout (<i>Salvelinus namaycush</i>) were discovered in Yellowstone Lake. Lake trout are efficient predators and have the potential to reduce the native cutthroat population and negatively impact terrestrial predators that use cutthroat trout as a food resource. In 1997, we began sampling a subset of streams (<i>n</i> = 25) from areas of Yellowstone Lake surveyed during the previous study to determine if changes in spawner numbers or bear use had occurred. Comparisons of peak numbers and duration suggested a considerable decline between study periods in streams in the West Thumb area of the lake. The apparent decline may be due to predation by lake trout. Indices of bear use also declined on West Thumb area streams. We used DNA from hair collected near spawning streams to estimate the minimum number of bears visiting the vicinity of spawning streams. Seventy-four individual bears were identified from 429 hair samples. The annual number of individuals detected ranged from 15 in 1997 to 33 in 2000. Seventy percent of genotypes identified were represented by more than 1 sample, but only 31% of bears were documented more than 1 year of the study. Sixty-two (84%) bears were only documented in 1 segment of the lake, whereas 12 (16%) were found in 2&ndash;3 lake segments. Twenty-seven bears were identified from hair collected at multiple streams. One bear was identified on 6 streams in 2 segments of the lake and during 3 years of the study. We used encounter histories derived from DNA and the Jolly-Seber procedure in Program MARK to produce annual estimates of grizzly bears visiting streams. Approximately 68 grizzly bears visited the vicinity of cutthroat trout spawning streams annually. Thus, approximately 14&ndash;21% of grizzly bears in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (GYE) may have used this threatened food resource annually. Yellowstone National Park (YNP) is attempting to control the lake trout population in Yellowstone Lake; our results underscore the importance of that effort to grizzly bears.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"International Association for Bear Research and Management","publisherLocation":"Yellowstone National Park","doi":"10.2192/1537-6176(2005)016[0167:CNOSCT]2.0.CO;2","usgsCitation":"Haroldson, M., Gunther, K., Reinhart, D.P., Podruzny, S., Cegelski, C., Waits, L., Wyman, T., and Smith, J., 2005, Changing numbers of spawning cutthroat trout in tributary streams of Yellowstone Lake and estimates of grizzly bears visiting streams from DNA: Ursus, v. 16, no. 2, p. 167-180, https://doi.org/10.2192/1537-6176(2005)016[0167:CNOSCT]2.0.CO;2.","productDescription":"14 p.","startPage":"167","endPage":"180","numberOfPages":"14","onlineOnly":"N","additionalOnlineFiles":"N","costCenters":[{"id":481,"text":"Northern Rocky Mountain Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":131036,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United STates","state":"Wyoming","otherGeospatial":"Yellowstone National Park","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -110.23818969726562,\n              44.666699513609174\n            ],\n            [\n              -110.42083740234375,\n              44.69696917557669\n            ],\n            [\n              -110.64880371093749,\n              44.67353598094039\n            ],\n            [\n              -110.80535888671874,\n              44.6061127451739\n            ],\n            [\n              -110.83145141601562,\n              44.48768863238376\n            ],\n            [\n              -110.78887939453125,\n              44.374913492661456\n            ],\n            [\n              -110.6707763671875,\n              44.30616121527788\n            ],\n            [\n              -110.50186157226562,\n              44.242247627238285\n            ],\n            [\n              -110.31509399414062,\n              44.18417357325395\n            ],\n            [\n              -110.11184692382811,\n              44.196974470259356\n            ],\n            [\n              -109.99374389648436,\n              44.29436701558007\n            ],\n            [\n              -109.9566650390625,\n              44.3670601700202\n            ],\n            [\n              -110.01846313476562,\n              44.4808302785626\n            ],\n            [\n              -110.11871337890624,\n              44.58655513209543\n            ],\n            [\n              -110.23818969726562,\n              44.666699513609174\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"16","issue":"2","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e49e4e4b07f02db5e673d","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Haroldson, M.A. 0000-0002-7457-7676","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7457-7676","contributorId":108047,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Haroldson","given":"M.A.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":318231,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Gunther, K.A.","contributorId":40935,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Gunther","given":"K.A.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":318225,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Reinhart, Daniel P.","contributorId":94258,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Reinhart","given":"Daniel","email":"","middleInitial":"P.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":318228,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Podruzny, S.R.","contributorId":72750,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Podruzny","given":"S.R.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":318226,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Cegelski, C.","contributorId":24729,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Cegelski","given":"C.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":318224,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Waits, L.","contributorId":74713,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Waits","given":"L.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":318227,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6},{"text":"Wyman, T.C.","contributorId":97855,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Wyman","given":"T.C.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":318230,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":7},{"text":"Smith, J.","contributorId":95013,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Smith","given":"J.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":318229,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":8}]}}

Thirty of those animals were examined: 18 adults and juveniles, and 12 calves. Morphometric data are presented such that prediction of body weight is possible if the age, or one or more measurements are known. Calves grew approximately linearly in their first year. Total length and fluke width increased asymptotically to a plateau with age, weight increased linearly with age, weight and snout to blowhole distance increased exponentially with total length, whereas total length was linearly related to fluke width and flipper length. Among the adults and juveniles examined in this study, human interaction appeared to be a major cause of mortality, where in 14/18 necropsies, trauma was a significant finding. In 10/14 of these, the cause of the trauma was presumed to be vessel collision. Entanglement in fishing gear accounted for the remaining four cases. Trauma was also present in 4/12 calves. In the majority of calf mortalities (8/12) the cause of death was not determined. Sharp ship trauma included propeller lacerations inducing multiple, deep lacerations that often incised vital organs including the brain, spinal cord, major airways, vessels and musculature. Blunt ship trauma resulted in major internal bruising and fractures often without any obvious external damage. In at least two cases fatal gear entanglements were extremely protracted: where the entanglements took at least 100 and 163 days respectively to be finally lethal. The sum of these findings show two major needs: (1) that extinction avoidance management strategies focused on reducing trauma to right whales from ship collisions and fishing gear entanglement are highly appropriate and need to be continued and; (2) that as mitigation measures continue to be introduced into shipping and fishing industry practices, there is a strong effort to maximise the diagnostic quality of post-mortem examination of right whale mortalities, to ensure an optimal understanding of resultant trends.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Journal of Cetacean Research and Management","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","usgsCitation":"Moore, M., Knowlton, A., Kraus, S., McLellan, W., and Bonde, R., 2005, Morphometry, gross morphology and available histopathology in North Atlantic right whale (Eubalaena glacialis) mortalities (1970 to 2002): Journal of Cetacean Research and Management, v. 6, no. 3, p. 199-214.","startPage":"199","endPage":"214","numberOfPages":"16","costCenters":[{"id":275,"text":"Florida Integrated Science Center","active":false,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":132381,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":268029,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://www.whoi.edu/people/mmoore/JNL_234.pdf"}],"volume":"6","issue":"3","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4b32e4b07f02db6b4776","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Moore, M.J.","contributorId":27000,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Moore","given":"M.J.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":317671,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Knowlton, A.R.","contributorId":88301,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Knowlton","given":"A.R.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":317673,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Kraus, S.D.","contributorId":16373,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Kraus","given":"S.D.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":317670,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"McLellan, W.A.","contributorId":94246,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"McLellan","given":"W.A.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":317674,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Bonde, R.

We duplicated an earlier study that compared the Whittaker sample design, which had square clustered subplots, with the modified Whittaker design, which had dispersed rectangular subplots. To sort out effects of dispersion from shape we used a third design that overlaid square subplots on the modified Whittaker design. Also, using data from published studies we extracted species richness values for 400-m<sup>2</sup> subplots that were either square or 1:4 rectangles partially overlaid on each other from desert scrub in high and low rainfall years, chaparral, sage scrub, oak savanna and coniferous forests with and without fire.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>We found that earlier empirical reports of more than 30% greater richness with rectangles were due to the confusion of shape effects with spatial effects, coupled with the use of cumulative number of species as the metric for comparison.

Pairwise comparisons showed no significant difference between square and rectangular samples in all but one vegetation type, and that one exhibited significantly greater richness with squares.

Reports in the literature of much greater species richness recorded for highly elongated rectangular strips than for squares of the same area are not likely to be fair comparisons because of the dramatically different periphery/area ratio, which includes a much greater proportion of species that are using both above and below-ground niche space outside the sample area.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"Wiley","doi":"10.1111/j.1654-1103.2005.tb02362.x","usgsCitation":"Keeley, J.E., and Fotheringham, C.J., 2005, Plot shape effects on plant species diversity measurements: Journal of Vegetation Science, v. 16, p. 249-256, https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1654-1103.2005.tb02362.x.","productDescription":"8 p.","startPage":"249","endPage":"256","numberOfPages":"8","costCenters":[{"id":651,"text":"Western Ecological Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":132478,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"16","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2005-02-24","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4ad9e4b07f02db684e5b","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Keeley, Jon E. 0000-0002-4564-6521 jon_keeley@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4564-6521","contributorId":1268,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Keeley","given":"Jon","email":"jon_keeley@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"E.","affiliations":[{"id":651,"text":"Western Ecological Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":317463,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Fotheringham, C.

Ecoregions provide a holistic framework for flexible, comparative analysis of complex environmental problems. Ecoregions mapping has intellectual foundations in both geography and ecology. However, a hallmark of ecoregions mapping is that it is a truly interdisciplinary endeavor that demands the integration of knowledge from a multitude of sciences. Geographers emphasize the role of place, scale, and both natural and social elements when delineating and characterizing regions. Ecologists tend to focus on environmental processes with special attention given to energy flows and nutrient cycling. Integration of disparate knowledge from the many key sciences has been one of the great challenges of ecoregions mapping, and may lie at the heart of the lack of consensus on the &ldquo;optimal&rdquo; approach and methods to use in such work. Through a review of the principal existing US ecoregion maps, issues that should be addressed in order to advance the state of the art are identified. Research related to needs, methods, data sources, data delivery, and validation is needed.

The areally extensive LTS is a distal deposit with low-relief, poorly defined channels, overbank, and lower-fan elements.  The younger UTS comprises almost half of the total fan volume and was initiated in the late Pleistocene from canyons in the Monterey Bay area.  Rapidly prograding high-relief, channel-levee complexes dominated deposition early in the UTS with periodic avulsion events.  In the last few 100 ka, much of the sediment bypassed the northern fan as a result of allocyclic controls, and deposition is simultaneously occuring on a sandy lobe with low-relief channels and on an adjacent detached muddier lobe built from reconfinement of overbank flow from the northern high-relief channels.  During the relatively short-lived UTS deposition, at least seven different channel types and two lobe types were formed.

Plant individuals can be marked with, e.g., plastic tags, but often the coordinates of an individual may be sufficient to identify it. Vascular plants in temperate latitudes have a pronounced seasonal life–cycle, so most plant demographers survey their study plots once a year often during or shortly after flowering. Life–states are pervasive in plants, hence the results of a demographic study for an individual can be summarized in a familiar encounter history, such as 0VFVVF000. A zero means that an individual was not seen in a year and a letter denotes its state for years when it was seen aboveground. V and F here stand for vegetative and flowering states, respectively. Probabilities of survival and state transitions can then be obtained by mere counting.</span><br><span>Problems arise when there is an unobservable dormant state, i.e., when plants may stay belowground for one or more growing seasons. Encounter histories such as 0VF00F000 may then occur where the meaning of zeroes becomes ambiguous. A zero can either mean a dead or a dormant plant. Various ad hoc methods in wide use among plant ecologists have made strong assumptions about when a zero should be equated to a dormant individual. These methods have never been compared among each other. In our talk and in Kéry et al. (submitted), we show that these ad hoc estimators provide spurious estimates of survival and should not be used.</span><br><span></span></p><p><span>In contrast, if detection probabilities for aboveground plants are known or can be estimated, capturerecapture (CR) models can be used to estimate probabilities of survival and state–transitions and the fraction of the population that is dormant. We have used this approach in two studies of terrestrial orchids, </span><i>Cleistes bifaria</i><span> (Kéry et al., submitted) and </span><i>Cypripedium reginae</i><span>(Kéry &amp; Gregg, submitted) in West Virginia, U.S.A. For Cleistes, our data comprised one population with a total of 620 marked ramets over 10 years, and for </span><i>Cypripedium</i><span>, two populations with 98 and 258 marked ramets over 11 years. We chose the ramet (= single stem or shoot) as the demographic unit of our study since there was no way distinguishing among genets (genet = genetical individual, i.e., the “individual” that animal ecologists are mostly concerned with). This will introduce some non–independence into the data, which can nevertheless be dealt with easily by correcting variances for overdispersion. Using ramets instead of genets has the further advantage that individuals can be assigned to a state such as flowering or vegetative in an unambiguous manner. This is not possible when genets are the demographic units. In all three populations, auxiliary data was available to show that detection probability of aboveground plants was m 0.995</span><br><span></span></p><p><span>We fitted multistate models in program MARK by specifying three states (D, V, F), even though the dormant state D does not occur in the encounter histories. Detection probability is fixed at 1 for the vegetative (V) and the flowering state (F) and at zero for the dormant state (D). Rates of survival and of state transitions as well as slopes of covariate relationships can be estimated and LRT or the AIC machinery be used to select among models. To estimate the fraction of the population in the unobservable</span><br><span>dormant state, the encounter histories are collapsed to 0 (plant not observed aboveground) and 1 (plant observed aboveground). The Cormack–Jolly–Seber model without constraints on detection probability is used to estimate detection probability, the complement of which is the estimated fraction of the population in the dormant state.</span><br><span>Parameter identifiability is an important issue in multi state models. We used the Catchpole–Morgan–Freeman approach to determine which parameters are estimable in principle in our multi state models. Most of 15 tested models were indeed estimable with the notable exception of the most general model, which has fully interactive state- and time-dependent survival and state transition rates. This model would become identifiable if at least some plants would be excavated in years when they do not show up aboveground.</span><br><span></span></p><p><span>Our analyses for three analyzed populations of Cleistes and Cypripedium yielded annual ramet survival rates ranging from 0.86–0.96. Estimates of the average fraction dormant ranged from 0.02–0.30, but with up to half a population in the dormant state in some years. Ultrastructural modeling enables interesting hypotheses to be tested about the relationships of demographic rates with climatic covariates for instance. Such covariate modeling makes the CR approach particularly interesting for evolutionary–ecological questions about, e.g., the adaptive significance of the dormant state.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Museu de Ciencies Naturals de Barcelona","usgsCitation":"Kery, M., and Gregg, K., 2004, Demographic estimation methods for plants with dormancy: Animal Biodiversity and Conservation, v. 27, no. 1, p. 129-131.","productDescription":"3 p.","startPage":"129","endPage":"131","numberOfPages":"3","costCenters":[{"id":531,"text":"Patuxent Wildlife Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":196030,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":330502,"rank":2,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://abc.museucienciesjournals.cat/volum-27-1-2004-abc/demographic-estimation-methods-for-plants-with-dormancy/?lang=en"}],"volume":"27","issue":"1","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e49fee4b07f02db5f7541","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Kery, M.","contributorId":46637,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Kery","given":"M.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":341657,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Gregg, K.B.","contributorId":34224,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Gregg","given":"K.B.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":341656,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}}

The Gull-billed Tern (<i>Sterna nilotica</i>), Common Tern (<i>S</i>. <i>hirundo</i>), Black Skimmer (<i>Rynchops niger</i>), and American Oystercatcher (<i>Haematopus palliatus</i>), species of concern in Virginia, nest on low shelly perimeters of salt marsh islands on the Eastern Shore of Virginia. Marsh shellpiles are free of mammalian predators, but subject to frequent floods that reduce reproductive success. In an attempt to examine nest-site selection, enhance habitat, and improve hatching success, small (<span>2 × 2 m</span>) plots on five island shellpiles were experimentally elevated, and nest-site selection and hatching success were monitored from 1 May to 1 August, 2002. In addition, location, elevation, and nesting performance of all other nests in the colonies were also monitored. No species selected the elevated experimental plots preferentially over adjacent control plots at any of the sites. When all nests were considered, Common Tern nests were located significantly lower than were random point elevations at two sites, as they tended to concentrate on low-lying wrack. At two other sites, however, Common Tern nests were significantly higher than were random points. Gull-billed Terns and American Oystercatchers showed a weak preference for higher elevations on bare shell at most sites. Hatching success was not improved on elevated plots, despite the protection they provided from flooding. Because of a 7 June flood, when 47% of all nests flooded, hatching success for all species was low. Nest elevation had the strongest impact on a nest's probability of hatching, followed by nest-initiation date. Predation rates were high at small colonies, and Ruddy Turnstones (<i>Arenaria interpres</i>) depredated 90% of early Gull-billed Tern nests at one shellpile. The importance of nest elevation and flooding on hatching success demonstrates the potential for management of certain waterbird nesting sites. Facing threats from predators on barrier islands and rising sea levels especially in the mid-Atlantic region, several species of nesting waterbirds may benefit dramatically with modest manipulation of even small habitat patches on isolated marsh islands.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"BioOne","doi":"10.1648/0273-8570-75.4.317","usgsCitation":"Rounds, R., Erwin, R., and Porter, J., 2004, Nest-site selection and hatching success of waterbirds in coastal Virginia: Some results of habitat manipulation: Journal of Field Ornithology, v. 75, no. 4, p. 317-329, https://doi.org/10.1648/0273-8570-75.4.317.","productDescription":"13 p.","startPage":"317","endPage":"329","costCenters":[{"id":531,"text":"Patuxent Wildlife Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":202565,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Virginia","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -76.761474609375,\n              38.74551518488265\n            ],\n            [\n              -77.14599609375,\n              38.59970036588819\n            ],\n            [\n              -77.442626953125,\n              37.75334401310656\n            ],\n            [\n              -77.113037109375,\n              36.53612263184686\n            ],\n            [\n              -75.35522460937499,\n              36.61552763134925\n            ],\n            [\n              -76.256103515625,\n              38.35027253825765\n            ],\n            [\n              -76.761474609375,\n              38.74551518488265\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"75","issue":"4","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4affe4b07f02db697c9d","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Rounds, R.A.","contributorId":69274,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Rounds","given":"R.A.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":341528,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Erwin, R.M.","contributorId":57396,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Erwin","given":"R.M.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":341527,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Porter, J.H.","contributorId":53921,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Porter","given":"J.H.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":341526,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3}]}}

A 1999 paper by G. R. Thurow described <i>P. shenandoah</i>-like salamanders from three localities further south in the Blue Ridge Physiographic Province, which, if confirmed, would represent a range extension for <i>P. shenandoah</i> of approximately 90 km from its nearest known locality. Samples collected from two of these three localities were included in a molecular phylogenetic study of the known populations of <i>P. shenandoah</i>, and all other recognized species in the <i>Plethodon cinereus</i> group, using a 792 bp region of the mitochondrial cytochrome-b gene. Phylogenetic estimates were based on Bayesian, maximum likelihood, and maximum parsimony methods and topologies examined for placement of the new <i>P. shenandoah</i>-like samples relative to all others. All topologies recovered all haplotypes of the <i>P. shenandoah</i>-like animals nested within <i>P. cinereus</i>, and a statistical comparison of the best likelihood tree topology with one with an enforced (Thurow + Shenandoah <i>P. shenandoah</i>) clade revealed that the unconstrained tree had a significantly lower -In L score (P &lt; 0.05, using the Shimodaira-Hasegawa test) than the constraint tree. This result and other anecdotal information give us no solid reason to consider the Thurow report valid. The current recovery program for <i>P. shenandoah</i> should remain focused on populations in Shenandoah National Park.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"BioOne","doi":"10.1670/4-03A","usgsCitation":"Sites, J., Morando, M., Highton, R., Huber, F., and Jung, R., 2004, Phylogenetic relationships of the endangered Shenandoah salamander (Plethodon shenandoah) and other salamanders of the Plethodon cinereus group (Caudata: Plethodontidae): Journal of Herpetology, v. 38, no. 1, p. 96-105, https://doi.org/10.1670/4-03A.","productDescription":"10 p.","startPage":"96","endPage":"105","costCenters":[{"id":531,"text":"Patuxent Wildlife Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":201725,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Virginia","otherGeospatial":"Shenandoah National Park","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -78.56735229492186,\n              38.42024233971636\n            ],\n            [\n              -78.37509155273438,\n              38.42024233971636\n            ],\n            [\n              -78.37509155273438,\n              38.5299046000139\n            ],\n            [\n              -78.56735229492186,\n              38.5299046000139\n            ],\n            [\n              -78.56735229492186,\n              38.42024233971636\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"38","issue":"1","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4adbe4b07f02db685d09","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Sites, J.W.","contributorId":98432,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Sites","given":"J.W.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":341404,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Morando, M.","contributorId":35045,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Morando","given":"M.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":341400,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Highton, R.","contributorId":70518,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Highton","given":"R.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":341403,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Huber, F.","contributorId":54324,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Huber","given":"F.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":341401,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Jung, R.E.","contributorId":66213,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Jung","given":"R.E.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":341402,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5}]}}
