Significant parts of these investigations could be affected by Earth-sourced contamination that is either misinterpreted as having a martian origin or that masks a martian signal. The Mars 2020 Perseverance rover implemented strict contamination control requirements to limit contamination of the samples during sample collection. Contamination control and contamination knowledge requirements have not yet been established for the samples after they arrive on Earth. The MSR Sample Receiving Facility (SRF) Contamination Panel (SCP) was tasked with defining the terrestrial biological, organic, and inorganic contamination limits for martian samples during their residence inside the SRF. To reach our recommendations, the SCP studied (i) the previously proposed limits and rationale of the Organic Contamination Panel, (ii) cleanliness levels achieved for sampling hardware by the M2020 mission, (iii) recent improvements in analytical technology and detection limits, (iv) updated information regarding the organic content of martian samples (</span><i>e.g.</i><span>, from the Sample Analysis at Mars instrument on the Curiosity rover and laboratory analyses of martian meteorites), and (v) information about the composition and geologic context of samples being collected by the Perseverance rover for return to Earth.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"SAGE publications","doi":"10.1177/15311074251382157","usgsCitation":"Sessions, A.L., Magnabosco, C., Barton, H.A.,

The OMB is a fault-bound terrane of argillites and mafic rocks of anomalously low metamorphic grade—and of poorly constrained ages and tectonic affinity—wedged between kyanite/sillimanite-grade peri- Laurentian rocks to the west and anatectic peri-Gondwanan rocks to the east (Fig. 1A). Our data demonstrate that Ordovician(?) igneous and sedimentary rocks of the OMB were variably metamorphosed in the Ordovician and Silurian but escaped regionally pervasive, high-grade Devonian and later metamorphism. Previous interpretations (Fritts 1963a, 1965a, 1965b; Burger, 1967; Burger and others, 1968; Rodgers, 1985) described these rocks as a conformable sequence of low-grade, Ordovician to Devonian metasediments and metavolcanics. Our results reveal that the “metavolcanics” are not extrusive rocks but rather slivers of lower oceanic crust with complicated high- and low-grade metamorphic fabrics, intruded by a swarm of Silurian sheeted basalt dikes, and in fault contact with the surrounding metasediments. The purpose of this trip is to show evidence of early Paleozoic (Taconic) deformation and metamorphism preserved in rocks of the eastern OMB. These rocks remained shallow, cool, and sufficiently dry during the regionally dominant Acadian and Alleghanian orogenies to have avoided significant overprinting. As such, these rocks serve as windows into a geologic history otherwise unavailable between anatectic rocks of the peri-Gondwanan Bronson Hill, Avalon, and Gander terranes east of the Hartford basin and sillimanite-grade rocks of the peri-Laurentian Hartland and gneiss dome belts west of the OMB. We present major and trace element geochemistry including rare-earth element patterns for all mafic units in the eastern OMB as well as <sup>40</sup>Ar/<sup>39</sup>Ar age spectra of amphibole, muscovite, and K-feldspar from rocks of the Maltby Lakes complex (of Deasy and others, 2017), Savin Schist, and Wepawaug Schist. Our evidence demonstrates that the units of the OMB have been assembled by faulting or intrusion, and that no stratigraphic relationships exist between the argillaceous schists and the metaigneous rocks.&nbsp;</p>","conferenceTitle":"The 116th Annual Meeting of the New England Intercollegiate Geological Conference","conferenceDate":"October 3-5, 2025","conferenceLocation":"New Haven, CT","language":"English","publisher":"New England Intercollegiate Geologic Conference","usgsCitation":"Deasy, R.T., Wintsch, R.P., Wathen, B., McAleer, R.J., Meyer, R., and Kunk, M.J., 2025, Pre-Acadian tectonics of the eastern Orange-Milford Belt, south-central Connecticut, The 116th Annual Meeting of the New England Intercollegiate Geological Conference, New Haven, CT, October 3-5, 2025, 28 p.","productDescription":"28 p.","ipdsId":"IP-180844","costCenters":[{"id":40020,"text":"Florence Bascom Geoscience Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":500140,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":500131,"rank":1,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://www.neigc.info/event-details/trip-c-tectonic-slivers-of-oceanic-crust-sheeted-dikes-and-sheared-gabbros-in-the-eastern-orange-milford-belt-connect"}],"country":"United States","state":"Connecticut","otherGeospatial":"Orange-Milford Belt","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -73.19443061248478,\n              41.40182493381846\n            ],\n            [\n              -73.19443061248478,\n              41.14678441229245\n            ],\n            [\n              -72.93204746185228,\n              41.14678441229245\n            ],\n            [\n              -72.93204746185228,\n              41.40182493381846\n            ],\n            [\n              -73.19443061248478,\n              41.40182493381846\n            ]\n          ]\n        ],\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2025-10-03","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Deasy, Ryan T. 0000-0002-7530-803X","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7530-803X","contributorId":299762,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Deasy","given":"Ryan","middleInitial":"T.","affiliations":[{"id":40020,"text":"Florence Bascom Geoscience Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":955820,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Wintsch, Robert P. 0000-0002-1969-5514","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1969-5514","contributorId":366404,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Wintsch","given":"Robert","middleInitial":"P.","affiliations":[{"id":86055,"text":"Indiana University emeritus","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":955821,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Wathen, Bryan","contributorId":148990,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Wathen","given":"Bryan","affiliations":[{"id":17608,"text":"Indiana Univesity","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":955822,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"McAleer, Ryan J. 0000-0003-3801-7441 rmcaleer@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3801-7441","contributorId":215498,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"McAleer","given":"Ryan","email":"rmcaleer@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[{"id":243,"text":"Eastern Geology and Paleoclimate Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":40020,"text":"Florence Bascom Geoscience Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":955823,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Meyer, Romain","contributorId":148991,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Meyer","given":"Romain","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":17609,"text":"Deutsche GeoForchungsZentrum Potsdam","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":955824,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Kunk, Michael J.","contributorId":366405,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Kunk","given":"Michael","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[{"id":7065,"text":"USGS emeritus","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":955825,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6}]}}

Blue Lake crater is a maar in the Oregon High Cascades that erupted within the last 3000&nbsp;years, making it one of the youngest eruptions in the Oregon Cascades. Its young, unaltered deposits make it an excellent site to examine the relationship between fragmentation processes and ash characteristics. This paper presents an extensive data set of grain size, componentry, texture, particle morphology, and surface features for 23 samples from 17 layers from Blue Lake crater to better understand fragmentation style and eruptive dynamics over the course of the eruption. We present detailed stratigraphy from 22 tephra pits and analyze tephra samples following a standardized method. An improved isopach map and a new isopleth map show the extensive, ENE-trending fallout and surge deposits. Based on the tephra sheet, the eruption can be divided into three phases, starting with a phreatomagmatic phase that produced laterally extensive, lithic-rich fallout deposits and excavated the initial crater. The middle phase of the eruption produced phreatomagmatically fragmented intercalated fallout and surge deposits. The eruption closed with coarse grained fallout deposits with a declining lithic content, indicating a shift towards a hybrid or phreato-Strombolian style. This detailed examination of the deposits leads to a more nuanced explanation of the eruption and fragmentation dynamics, which contribute to a better understanding of maar eruption processes and hazards.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Springer Nature","doi":"10.1007/s00445-025-01857-6","usgsCitation":"Leiter, S., Ross, P., and Johnson, E.R., 2025, Magma fragmentation and tephra deposition from a small-volume phreatomagmatic eruption: Blue Lake crater, Oregon, USA: Bulletin of Volcanology, no. 87, 92, 27 p., https://doi.org/10.1007/s00445-025-01857-6.","productDescription":"92, 27 p.","ipdsId":"IP-175655","costCenters":[{"id":617,"text":"Volcano Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":496489,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Oregon","otherGeospatial":"Blue Lake crater","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -121.87499438259134,\n              44.522898198963645\n            ],\n            [\n              -121.87499438259134,\n              44.51967210758181\n            ],\n            [\n              -121.87067741535604,\n              44.51967210758181\n            ],\n            [\n              -121.87067741535604,\n              44.522898198963645\n            ],\n            [\n              -121.87499438259134,\n              44.522898198963645\n            ]\n          ]\n        ],\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","issue":"87","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2025-10-03","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Leiter, Sophia","contributorId":362099,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Leiter","given":"Sophia","affiliations":[{"id":86462,"text":"Eau Terre Environnement Research Centre","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":950000,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Ross, Pierre-Simon","contributorId":362100,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Ross","given":"Pierre-Simon","affiliations":[{"id":86462,"text":"Eau Terre Environnement Research Centre","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":950001,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Johnson, Emily Renee 0000-0002-7967-6913","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7967-6913","contributorId":269628,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Johnson","given":"Emily","email":"","middleInitial":"Renee","affiliations":[{"id":617,"text":"Volcano Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":950002,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3}]}}

Our goal was to evaluate how microclimate and microhabitat characteristics influence occupancy of collared pikas. We quantified thermal conditions during both summer and winter to test hypotheses about potential drivers of pika persistence. We recorded den occupancy and territory characteristics, including in situ measurements of den microclimate, across three study areas with contrasting climate gradients in southcentral and interior Alaska during 2017–2022. We examined changes in pika den occurrence by estimating annual colonization and extinction rates with a Bayesian dynamic occurrence model with forage availability, rock size, and multiple den temperature metrics as the explanatory variables. Our top model indicated that daily maximum temperature during both summer and winter best predicted den persistence and larger rocks had a moderating effect on warm summer den temperatures. This information helps to advance understanding about the mechanistic links between climate and population persistence for small mammal species under a rapidly changing arctic climate.</span></span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Taylor & Francis","doi":"10.1080/15230430.2025.2502161","usgsCitation":"Harrison, L.A., Christie, K.S., Brandt, C., Falcy, M.R., Gilbert, S.L., Rachlow, J.L., 2025, Mechanisms influencing thermal refuges and territory occupancy by collared pikas during summer and winter: Arctic, Antarctic, and Alpine Research, v. 57, no. 1, 2502161, 17 p., https://doi.org/10.1080/15230430.2025.2502161.","productDescription":"2502161, 17 p.","ipdsId":"IP-179160","costCenters":[{"id":200,"text":"Coop Res Unit Seattle","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":500594,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1080/15230430.2025.2502161","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":500431,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Alaska","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -155.45653673679158,\n              62.833897716435274\n            ],\n            [\n              -154.87402485631074,\n              60.0726821448782\n            ],\n            [\n              -149.37753560622093,\n              60.9339172578167\n            ],\n            [\n              -141.32845624709518,\n              59.98407037941388\n            ],\n            [\n              -140.91038491440708,\n              62.78570300568498\n            ],\n            [\n              -148.1580130001717,\n              64.18918315969188\n            ],\n            [\n              -155.45653673679158,\n              62.833897716435274\n            ]\n          ]\n        ],\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"57","issue":"1","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2025-10-02","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Harrison, Lillian A.","contributorId":366637,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Harrison","given":"Lillian","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[{"id":36394,"text":"University of Idaho","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":956114,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Christie, Katherine S.","contributorId":366638,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Christie","given":"Katherine","middleInitial":"S.","affiliations":[{"id":7058,"text":"Alaska Department of Fish and Game","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":956115,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Brandt, Collette","contributorId":366639,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Brandt","given":"Collette","affiliations":[{"id":87498,"text":"Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":956116,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Falcy, Matthew Richard 0000-0002-3332-2239","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3332-2239","contributorId":288500,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Falcy","given":"Matthew","email":"","middleInitial":"Richard","affiliations":[{"id":200,"text":"Coop Res Unit Seattle","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":956117,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Gilbert, Sophie L.","contributorId":366640,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Gilbert","given":"Sophie","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[{"id":87499,"text":"Vibrant Planet PBC","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":956118,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Rachlow, Janet L.","contributorId":366641,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Rachlow","given":"Janet","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[{"id":36394,"text":"University of Idaho","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":956119,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6}]}}

However, its seasonal distribution is incompletely described, particularly in autumn when herds gather on shore, and abundance is of interest to management entities. We monitored walrus herds using satellite imagery on shore across their summer and autumn range in the Chukchi Sea to provide insights on seasonal distribution and abundance. During each study year (2017–2024), we documented walrus herd abundance at 8 Chukchi Sea haulouts based on the herd area detected in satellite imagery multiplied by herd density estimates derived from aerial survey data. In contrast to historical seasonal use, we found large herds on shore at only 3 sites, 1 in Alaska and 2 in northern Chukotka (Russia). In 2022, we observed a very large herd with an abundance (and 90% prediction interval) of 184,000 (min–max = 153,000–214,000) northwest of the Bering Strait, which enabled us to estimate a minimum population size (N</span><sub>min</sub><span>) by correcting the abundance estimate by the proportion of walruses that may be hauled out and available for detection.

To better understand potential streamflow trends over time, the U.S. Geological Survey completed a study comparing low flows at continuous- and partial-record streamgages in New Jersey between a historical period (1950–79) and a current period (1990–2019). Fourteen statistics (one median for each of the twelve monthly minimum 1-day flows, minimum 7-day average streamflow with a 10-year recurrence interval, and median of the daily mean flows for the month of September) were calculated to evaluate how streamflow conditions may differ between the two time periods. Percent change was also calculated to better understand the magnitude of difference between the periods at individual streamgages. A Paired Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test was implemented to test for a change in distribution between the two time periods for each statistic of interest. Results indicated that the median of the minimum 1-day flows for the months of January, February, June, September, and December and the median of the daily mean flows for the month of September had a statistically significant difference in distribution between the time periods for continuous-record streamgages. None of the statistics had a statistically significant difference in distribution for the partial-record streamgages. The largest percent changes between time periods occurred in the northern part of the state, above the Fall Line. Precipitation, land cover, and water use changes were assessed to contribute to the understanding of these differences between time periods.

Originally launched to address the lack of national-scale, moderate-resolution land-cover data, NLCD has evolved from the pioneering 1992 dataset into a comprehensive, annually updated product suite. Key innovations include the introduction of impervious surface mapping, forest canopy mapping, standardized Landsat mosaics, national-scale accuracy assessments, continual evolution of deep learning and artificial intelligence methodologies, and a transition toward operational, change-focused monitoring. The NLCD has become an essential resource for scientific research, land management, and policy development, with extensive adoption across federal, state, and local agencies; academia; and the private sector. The NLCD data underpin a wide array of applications, including biodiversity conservation, urban planning, hydrology, human health studies, and natural hazard assessment. As new global and high-resolution commercial land-cover products emerge, the NLCD continues to distinguish itself through its temporal depth, federal backing, and thematic consistency. Moving forward, the NLCD will maintain its niche as the leading, moderate-resolution, long-term land-cover and land-change dataset for the United States, ensuring continued support for broad national applications while complementing higher-resolution and global-mapping efforts.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Ingenta","doi":"10.14358/PERS.25-00121R2","usgsCitation":"Sohl, T.L., Jin,

Wetlands provide ample water, food, and cover that benefits resident animals, but periodic high floods, frequent drying, and harsh water qualities (low-oxygen, acidic, saline) can stress wetland animals. Animals that rely on wetlands have developed numerous adaptations to cope with these stresses. The animal biodiversity in wetlands is particularly valued by people, from deep historical and cultural connections, to modern ecotourists and bird watchers who observe it and hunters and anglers who appreciate the consumptive resources they provide. Animals such as alligators and beavers create or physically-modify wetland environments; this activity is called ecosystem engineering and makes these animals among the most important organisms to wetland ecology. Wetlands are high in biodiversity and support rich communities of wetland invertebrates, are primary breeding habitats for most amphibians, and nearly all migratory birds rely on wetlands during some part of their annual cycle.  The interactions of animals with plants (herbivory, cutting) and each other (predation) strongly shape wetland environments and affect nutrient cycling. Human impacts on wetlands can negatively affect many animals through habitat loss and degradation, resulting in many wetland amphibians, reptiles, and birds being listed as threatened and endangered species.  Thus, wetland conservation is vital to conserve many animal species.","language":"English","publisher":"Society of Wetland Scientists","usgsCitation":"Batzer, D., Smith, L.L., Stafford, J.D., Harrison-Day, V., Kucia, S.R., Severud, W.J., and Zhang, Y., 2025, Module 4: Basic biology of wetland animals: Wetland Science & Practice, v. 43, no. 4, p. 307-320.","productDescription":"14 p.","startPage":"307","endPage":"320","ipdsId":"IP-162448","costCenters":[{"id":199,"text":"Coop Res Unit Leetown","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":504869,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":504868,"rank":1,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://sws.org/page/wsp2025"}],"volume":"43","issue":"4","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Batzer, Darold","contributorId":369421,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Batzer","given":"Darold","affiliations":[{"id":12697,"text":"University of Georgia","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":958934,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Smith, Lora L.","contributorId":369425,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Smith","given":"Lora","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[{"id":56171,"text":"The Jones Center at Ichauway","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":958938,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Stafford, Joshua D. 0000-0001-7590-8708 jstafford@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7590-8708","contributorId":267260,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Stafford","given":"Joshua","email":"jstafford@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"D.","affiliations":[{"id":199,"text":"Coop Res Unit Leetown","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":958939,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Harrison-Day, Violet","contributorId":369422,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Harrison-Day","given":"Violet","affiliations":[{"id":16141,"text":"University of Tasmania","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":958935,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Kucia, Samuel R.","contributorId":369423,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Kucia","given":"Samuel","middleInitial":"R.","affiliations":[{"id":5089,"text":"South Dakota State University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":958936,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Severud, William J.","contributorId":369424,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Severud","given":"William","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[{"id":5089,"text":"South Dakota State University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":958937,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6},{"text":"Zhang, Youzheng","contributorId":369426,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Zhang","given":"Youzheng","affiliations":[{"id":56171,"text":"The Jones Center at Ichauway","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":958940,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":7}]}}

Recent studies suggested greater sage-grouse (<i>Centrocercus urophasianus</i>) adhere to strong site fidelity in the aftermath of wildfire, remaining inside fire perimeters for nesting and brood rearing despite negative consequences for survival and reproduction. Sage-grouse in Idaho exhibited context-dependent changes to space use after a large, high-severity fire that burned &gt; 40,000&nbsp;ha, yet the specific behavioral responses to fire and their fitness consequences remain unclear. We used data collected from 269 hens over a 6-year period under a multi-level before-after-control-impact design to test the hypothesis that sage-grouse mitigated fitness consequences of high-severity wildfire through adaptive behavioral responses and spatial redistribution.</p><h3 class=\"c-article__sub-heading\" data-test=\"abstract-sub-heading\">Results</h3><p>We tested predictions deduced from our hypothesis at the population and individual levels using behavioral, demographic, and life history data, including nesting metrics, brood-rearing metrics, hen survival, and body mass at capture. Fifteen of 16 predictions were supported, demonstrating that post-fire space use and avoidance of the burn was adaptive and helped mitigate fitness effects of the fire. Short-term consequences included elimination of nesting and brood rearing habitat and subsequent shifts to the distribution of usable space.

Our results imply behavioral and fitness consequences of fire are context-dependent and likely impacted by attributes of the fire and surrounding landscape after disturbance. Furthermore, among-study differences in behavioral and fitness outcomes of sage-grouse after fire supported underappreciated predictions from both fire ecology and site fidelity theory, and suggest conditions where behavioral flexibility should be expressed, and fidelity relaxed, based on severity of disturbance, landscape context, and species mobility.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"Springer","doi":"10.1186/s42408-025-00391-2","usgsCitation":"Stevens, B.S., Conway, C.J., Roberts, S.B., Englestead, D.K., 2025, Fitness consequences of catastrophic wildfire are mitigated by behavioral responses of an iconic bird: Fire Ecology, v. 21, 54, 26 p., https://doi.org/10.1186/s42408-025-00391-2.","productDescription":"54, 26 p.","ipdsId":"IP-169334","costCenters":[{"id":200,"text":"Coop Res Unit Seattle","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":500603,"rank":2,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s42408-025-00391-2","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":500413,"rank":1,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Idaho","volume":"21","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Stevens, Bryan S.","contributorId":171809,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Stevens","given":"Bryan","email":"","middleInitial":"S.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":956282,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Conway, Courtney J. 0000-0003-0492-2953 cconway@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0492-2953","contributorId":2951,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Conway","given":"Courtney","email":"cconway@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[{"id":200,"text":"Coop Res Unit Seattle","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":956283,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Roberts, Shane B.","contributorId":338986,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Roberts","given":"Shane","email":"","middleInitial":"B.","affiliations":[{"id":36224,"text":"Idaho Department of Fish and Game","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":956284,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Englestead, Devin K.","contributorId":366830,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Englestead","given":"Devin","middleInitial":"K.","affiliations":[{"id":37086,"text":"U.S. Bureau of Land Management","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":956285,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4}]}}

Waterfowl are known reservoirs of pathogens, including H5 goose/Guangdong lineage (H5 GsGd) highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI). This HPAI virus lineage causes high rates of morbidity and mortality in domestic poultry and many wild bird species. Mallards (</span><i>Anas platyrhynchos</i><span>) are a generalist waterfowl species whose habitat largely overlaps with many other waterfowl and are considered effective spillover vectors of HPAI. To investigate the potential contribution of waterfowl to HPAI spillover, we used mallards as a proxy and measured the spatiotemporal overlap of 183 GPS-tagged mallards during 2021–2022 with respect to confirmed wild bird spillover events in United States (U.S.) poultry farms. Additionally, we estimated the probability of HPAI spillover events as a function of mallard overlap and poultry farm type. We found infrequent overlap instances between mallards and poultry farms; however, several of these overlap instances lasted &gt; 5 days and up to 19 days. Population-level overlap with poultry farms was greatest during pre-breeding migration, followed by the breeding season. The probability of HPAI spillover was predicted to be greatest for commercial turkey farms, followed by backyard poultry farms. Importantly, farms overlapped by mallards were more than twice as likely to experience a spillover (i.e., increased risk probability), even in the absence of known mallard infection status at the time of overlap. These findings suggest that mallards (and/or other waterfowl) may be important contributors to HPAI spillover into poultry farms and that additional biosecurity measures may be needed. Because few instances of overlap occurred between mallards and farms with reported spillover events, tagged mallards are likely a proxy for other untagged waterfowl. Further studies of wild waterfowl interactions with poultry farms could improve understanding of how landscape characteristics influence spatial overlap, potentially informing which premises may

The update includes improvements to the reproduction modeling and also shares additional context given evidence of reduced mortality indicated by&nbsp;recent population monitoring. Projections from the analysis are used to quantify simulated population sizes across 100 years and resulting quasi-extinction probabilities (falling below 50 mature females that have proven ability to reproduce) to compare hypothetical scenarios related to management of threats and changing environmental conditions. Under a status quo scenario&nbsp;reflecting conditions of 2019, prior to the enactment of new regulations by the U.S. and Canada, the North Atlantic right whale population would be expected to continue to fall, with a median decline of 88 percent (95% projection interval, –98 percent to –45 percent change) and a probability of falling below 50 proven females (i.e., quasi-extinction) of 0.988 at 100 years. In hypothetical scenarios that fully remove each of the three primary threats to right whales one&nbsp;at a time, removal of the entanglement threat alone reduces the probability of falling below 50 proven females in 100 years to 0.070; removal of the vessel strike threat alone reduces it&nbsp;to 0.522; and a return to historical prey abundance patterns (pre-2010), but with both human-related threats still in place, reduces it to 0.524. Although additional baseline scenarios were explored to examine the potential effects of recent regulations, we found that the most up-to-date mortality rates (2020–2022) are similar to those simulated under a 70% reduction in severe entanglement injury compared to rates estimated during 2013–2019.&nbsp;If management measures implemented in the U.S. and Canada continue to reduce mortality, the estimated probability of falling below 50 proven females in 100 years is 0.234.

Specifically, we examine cataclasites, to document the structural and geochemical evolution of shear zones and their associations with gold mineralization. \nTo investigate the shear zone, we integrate portable X-ray fluorescence (pXRF), scanning electron microscopy-based automated mineralogy (SEM-AM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and high-resolution micro-X-ray fluorescence (micro-XRF) mapping. These methods collectively provide insights into bulk and trace element chemistry, mineralogical composition, and deformation-related textures across multiple scales. Handheld pXRF enables rapid geochemical screening, guiding SEM-AM and XRD analyses to ensure consistent mineralogical interpretation. X-ray diffraction identifies and quantifies crystalline phases, while SEM-AM produces high-resolution mineral maps, revealing mineral abundances, grain-scale textures, and gold associations. Micro-XRF mapping further refines our understanding by showing visual trace element distributions at sub-millimetre resolution.\nBy integrating these techniques, we improve our understanding of the nature and geochemistry of Pogo shear zones, their role in gold mineralization, and support metallurgical processing strategies. This approach enhances exploration models and resource characterization for structurally complex gold deposits.","conferenceTitle":"18th SGA Biennial Meeting","conferenceDate":"August 3-7, 2025","conferenceLocation":"Golden, CO","language":"English","publisher":"Society for Geology Applied to Mineral Deposits (SGA)","usgsCitation":"Pfaff, K.I., Kasprowicz, F., Caine, J., Benzel, W., and Lowers, H.A., 2025, Combining scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and X-ray fluorescence to characterize shear zones at the Pogo gold deposit, Alaska, 18th SGA Biennial Meeting, v. 3, Golden, CO, August 3-7, 2025, p. 1157-1160.","productDescription":"4 p.","startPage":"1157","endPage":"1160","ipdsId":"IP-176764","costCenters":[{"id":35995,"text":"Geology, Geophysics, and Geochemistry Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":496856,"rank":2,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://www.e-sga.org/publications/conference-proceedings"},{"id":496827,"rank":1,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Alaska","volume":"3","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Pfaff, Katharina I. 0000-0002-6605-2722","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6605-2722","contributorId":362430,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Pfaff","given":"Katharina","middleInitial":"I.","affiliations":[{"id":35995,"text":"Geology, Geophysics, and Geochemistry Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":950951,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Kasprowicz, Filip","contributorId":363040,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Kasprowicz","given":"Filip","affiliations":[{"id":86594,"text":"Center to Advance the Science of Exploration to Reclamation in Mining, Department of Geology and Geological Engineering, Colorado School of Mines","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":950952,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Caine, Jonathan Saul 0000-0002-7269-6989 jscaine@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7269-6989","contributorId":199295,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Caine","given":"Jonathan Saul","email":"jscaine@usgs.gov","affiliations":[],"preferred":true,"id":950953,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Benzel, William 0000-0002-4085-1876 wbenzel@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4085-1876","contributorId":3594,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Benzel","given":"William","email":"wbenzel@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":171,"text":"Central Mineral and Environmental Resources Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":211,"text":"Crustal Geophysics and Geochemistry Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":950954,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Lowers, Heather A. 0000-0001-5360-9264 hlowers@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5360-9264","contributorId":191307,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Lowers","given":"Heather","email":"hlowers@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[{"id":35995,"text":"Geology, Geophysics, and Geochemistry Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":171,"text":"Central Mineral and Environmental Resources Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":950955,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5}]}}

The EPA is charged by the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) with ensuring that a pesticide will not cause unreasonable adverse effects on the environment. Incident reports (documentation of exposure and injury from pesticide applications) can serve as a reality check on the pesticide registration decisions made by the EPA scientists and risk managers. The EPA collects incident reports on human, domestic animal, and ecological injury. The FIFRA section 6(a)(2) rule requires the pesticide registrant (generally, the company or other entity that wishes to market the pesticide, hereafter registrant) to submit such data to the EPA. </p><p>The EPA’s ecological incident category includes injuries to aquatic (fish), terrestrial (wildlife), other non-target organisms (ONT, e.g., invertebrates) and plants. Our document focuses on the fish and wildlife ecological incidents that are submitted by registrants.

These restoration efforts are guided by the Chesapeake Bay Watershed Agreement (Chesapeake Executive Council 2014) which outlines 10 goals and 31 measurable outcomes. The Chesapeake Bay is globally recognized as a model for coastal restoration due to long-term investments in monitoring, modeling, implementation and research by the Chesapeake Bay Program (CBP) partnership. These monitoring network spans tidal and non-tidal regions and provides data across multiple scales. Artificial intelligence (AI), particularly machine-learning (ML) and deep learning (DL), has emerged as a powerful tool for analyzing large, complex datasets. These techniques have gained widespread adoption across various disciplines, including ecology, hydrology, and environmental science. In the Bay context, AI/ML is increasingly being used to explore drivers of environmental change, analyze system dynamics, and predict conditions in areas with limited monitoring.&nbsp;</p><p>The CBP partnership, particularly its Scientific and Technical Advisory Committee (STAC), has increasingly recognized the growing role of AI/ML in watershed and estuarine management. Recent Chesapeake Community Research Symposium sessions and initiatives such as the Chesapeake Global Collaboratory highlight increasing regional momentum to apply big data and AI/ML for environmental solutions. Together, these developments underscore the timely need to explore how AI/ML can help advance Chesapeake Bay restoration and management.&nbsp;</p><p>This STAC workshop, titled “Leveraging Artificial Intelligence and Machine learning to Advance Chesapeake Bay Research and Management: A review of status, challenges, and opportunities,” was held from February 24-25, 2025, in Edgewater, Maryland to bring together over 50 federal, state, and academic scientists and partners to synthesize the current state of AI/ML applications and identify research gaps in Chesapeake Bay research and management. The workshop focused on three main objectives: </p><p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\" data-mce-style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">1. Summarize recent AI/ML applications and lessons learned in both tidal and nontidal areas of the Chesapeake Bay region. </p><p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\" data-mce-style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">2. Identify challenges and gaps in applying AI/ML approaches to Chesapeake Bay data. Such challenges and gaps may include data limitations, harmonization issues, ineffective communication of AI/ML insights, and a lack of coordination among research and management institutions. </p><p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\" data-mce-style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">3. Develop recommendations and identify opportunities for leveraging AI/ML to address issues across the Chesapeake Bay region. Key areas of focus may include generating new information to support watershed management, delivering AI/MLgenerated insights to managers in a clear and actionable way, and fostering greater collaboration among stakeholders within the CBP Partnership.&nbsp;</p><p>Workshop participants engaged in science presentations and breakout sessions to develop recommendations for advancing the integration of AI/ML techniques into research and management across the Chesapeake Bay region. By synthesizing current applications, identifying challenges, and exploring new opportunities, the workshop has provided valuable insights and recommendations for better leveraging AI/ML approaches to support the success of Bay restoration efforts. Together, these recommendations provide a roadmap for enhancing data-driven, science-based decision making aligned with the goals and outcomes of the Chesapeake Bay Watershed Agreement.&nbsp;</p>","language":"English","publisher":"Chesapeake Bay Scientific and Technical Advisory Committee","usgsCitation":"Zhang, Q., Baker, M., Bertani Isabella, Dennison, B., Linker, L.C.,

Although it has similarities to orogenic and magmatic-hydrothermal deposits, its origin remains enigmatic. Observations from surface exposures, underground workings, and drill core provide new constraints on quartz vein origins with implications for mineralization. Abundant, largely barren metamorphic segregation quartz veins are found throughout interior Alaska and share characteristics with mineralized quartz veins at Pogo. Pogo quartz veins show crystal plastic deformation fabrics consistent with greenschist to amphibolite facies metamorphism and a lack of internal shear. In contrast, gold in Pogo quartz veins occurs in brittle microfaults and fractures with sulphides such as arsenopyrite and pyrrhotite. Major and minor cataclastic shear zones also exist at Pogo. Cataclastic shear zones commonly cut the mineralized quartz veins and porphyroclasts are dominated by quartz with the same plastic deformation fabrics found in the major Pogo quartz veins. The porphyroclasts, and the carbonaceous clay-rich matrix they sit in, also contain gold indicating that the shear zones postdate quartz and earliest gold deposition. These observations suggest that competency contrasts between the quartz veins and their phyllosilicate-rich host rocks controlled transient permeability formed by late, preferential brittle deformation events localizing sulphide ± gold deposition. &nbsp;</p>","conferenceTitle":"18th SGA Biennial Meeting","conferenceDate":"August 3-7, 2025","conferenceLocation":"Golden, CO","language":"English","publisher":"Society for Geology Applied to Mineral Deposits (SGA)","usgsCitation":"Caine, J., Kreiner, D.C., and Lowers, H.A., 2025, Deformation mechanisms in quartz veins and shear zones elucidate the origin of gold mineralization at Pogo, Alaska, 18th SGA Biennial Meeting, v. 1, Golden, CO, August 3-7, 2025, p. 285-288.","productDescription":"4 p.","startPage":"285","endPage":"288","ipdsId":"IP-176857","costCenters":[{"id":119,"text":"Alaska Science Center Geology Minerals","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":35995,"text":"Geology, Geophysics, and Geochemistry Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":496820,"rank":2,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://www.e-sga.org/publications/conference-proceedings"},{"id":496821,"rank":1,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Alaska","volume":"1","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Caine, Jonathan Saul 0000-0002-7269-6989 jscaine@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7269-6989","contributorId":199295,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Caine","given":"Jonathan Saul","email":"jscaine@usgs.gov","affiliations":[],"preferred":true,"id":950948,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Kreiner, Douglas C. 0000-0002-4405-1403","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4405-1403","contributorId":220474,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Kreiner","given":"Douglas","email":"","middleInitial":"C.","affiliations":[{"id":119,"text":"Alaska Science Center Geology Minerals","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":950949,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Lowers, Heather A. 0000-0001-5360-9264 hlowers@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5360-9264","contributorId":191307,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Lowers","given":"Heather","email":"hlowers@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[{"id":35995,"text":"Geology, Geophysics, and Geochemistry Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":171,"text":"Central Mineral and Environmental Resources Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":950950,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3}]}}

Here we present a systematic literature review of predictive and forecasting models for HABs in flowing waters, including rivers, flowing in-stream reservoirs (e.g., run-of-river reservoirs and lock-and-dam systems) and tidal or estuarine systems with riverine processes. The review aimed to understand current and historical modeling approaches for predicting and forecasting river HABs, without restricting to specific taxa, such as cyanobacteria, or modeling endpoints. The review included 162 articles published over nearly 50 years, covering more than 80 rivers worldwide. Eutrophic, non-wadable rivers with in-stream obstruction were commonly modeled, though diverse environmental characteristics were reported. Most articles used algal biomass or chlorophyll as modeling endpoints, with a quarter using novel or unique endpoints. Algal toxins motivated model development in 23% of the articles, however just 5% used algal toxins as an endpoint. Only 6% of the articles modeled benthic HABs; the rest focused on pelagic HABs. There was no standard model used for modeling river HABs. Process-based models were more common (59%) than data-driven approaches (37%), with model formulations ranging from simple to complex, which contrasts with a lake-focused literature review of HAB models that found data-driven models were more common. Models in river settings shared similar input variables as those previously identified for lakes, such as water temperature, nutrients, and light availability. However, streamflow and other transport metrics took prominence in river models compared to lake models. Algal cell physiology (such as growth, predation, and motility) was routinely included as input data or as mathematical formulations in process-based models and these processes were frequently identified as an important predictor by the articles’ authors. Conversely, data-driven models rarely included these processes, instead using predictors related to environmental conditions, such as nutrients, water quality, water temperature, and streamflow. These important proxy predictors have apparent success with modeling overall algal biomass (irrespective of taxa) whereas other factors, such as those related to algal physiology and other biological processes, are likely responsible for more subtle shifts in community composition. These differences highlight the influence of data availability, especially for processes that are difficult, time-consuming, or expensive to measure, on model development and model outcomes, raising questions about the selection of modeling inputs and endpoints. Challenges to advancing river HAB modeling include the lack of site-specific model inputs representing key processes (e.g., photosynthetic parameters and predation rates), overlooked riverine environments like the benthos and side/back-channel areas, lack of information on environmental settings, and poorly reported model performance metrics. This review emphasizes opportunities for advancing river HAB modeling by learning from well-honed estuarine models, supporting current forecasting and operationalization efforts, and developing common datasets for river HAB model development and evaluation.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"BioRxiv","doi":"10.1101/2025.09.29.679270","usgsCitation":"Murphy, J.C., Gorney, R.M., Lucas, L., Zwart, J.A., and Graham, J.L., 2025, A systematic literature review of forecasting and predictive models of harmful algal blooms in flowing waters: BioRxiv, https://doi.org/10.1101/2025.09.29.679270.","productDescription":"52 p.","ipdsId":"IP-179513","costCenters":[{"id":36532,"text":"Central Midwest Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":496741,"rank":0,"type":{"id":41,"text":"Open Access External Repository Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1101/2025.09.29.679270","text":"External Repository"},{"id":496628,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Murphy, Jennifer C. 0000-0002-0881-0919 jmurphy@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0881-0919","contributorId":4281,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Murphy","given":"Jennifer","email":"jmurphy@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"C.","affiliations":[{"id":36532,"text":"Central Midwest Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":950534,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Gorney, Rebecca M. 0000-0003-4406-261X","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4406-261X","contributorId":317259,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Gorney","given":"Rebecca","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[{"id":474,"text":"New York Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":950535,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Lucas, Lisa V. 0000-0001-7797-5517 llucas@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7797-5517","contributorId":260498,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Lucas","given":"Lisa","email":"llucas@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"V.","affiliations":[{"id":37778,"text":"WMA - Integrated Modeling and Prediction Division","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":950536,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Zwart, Jacob Aaron 0000-0002-3870-405X","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3870-405X","contributorId":237809,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Zwart","given":"Jacob","email":"","middleInitial":"Aaron","affiliations":[{"id":37316,"text":"WMA - Integrated Information Dissemination Division","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":950537,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Graham, Jennifer L. 0000-0002-6420-9335 jlgraham@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6420-9335","contributorId":202923,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Graham","given":"Jennifer","email":"jlgraham@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[{"id":353,"text":"Kansas Water Science Center","active":false,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":950538,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5}]}}

Carp collected at this site in 2003 ranged in age from 35 to 54 years and had the oldest mean age of the thirteen sites sampled within the Colorado River basin. This site also has an unusual thermal regime when compared to other sites studied in Lake Mead and upstream sites, in that temperatures varied little over the seasons (amplitude around 1.5 °C) and barely reached 15 °C. Additionally, carp from this site had the highest total polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) body burden. Hence, advanced age, low water temperature, and exposure to PCBs and other environmental contaminants may contribute to the observed abnormalities, highlighting the complex environmental factors initiating pre-neoplastic and neoplastic changes in wild carp.</span></span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"MDPI","doi":"10.3390/ani15192887","usgsCitation":"Blazer, V., Goodbred, S.L., Walsh, H.L., Wichman, D., Johnson, D., and Patino, R., 2025, Testicular neoplasms and other abnormalities in common carp Cyprinus carpio from the Lower Colorado River, United States: Animals, v. 15, no. 19, 2887, 15 p., https://doi.org/10.3390/ani15192887.","productDescription":"2887, 15 p.","ipdsId":"IP-180041","costCenters":[{"id":50464,"text":"Eastern Ecological Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":498926,"rank":2,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/ani15192887","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":498778,"rank":1,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Arizona","otherGeospatial":"Willow Beach","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -114.69161558714228,\n              35.89140842150485\n            ],\n            [\n              -114.69161558714228,\n              35.8623130396342\n            ],\n            [\n              -114.64784912081029,\n              35.8623130396342\n            ],\n            [\n              -114.64784912081029,\n              35.89140842150485\n            ],\n            [\n              -114.69161558714228,\n              35.89140842150485\n            ]\n          ]\n        ],\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"15","issue":"19","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2025-10-02","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Blazer, Vicki S. 0000-0001-6647-9614","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6647-9614","contributorId":349694,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Blazer","given":"Vicki S.","affiliations":[{"id":50464,"text":"Eastern Ecological Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":953927,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Goodbred, Steven L.","contributorId":365206,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Goodbred","given":"Steven","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[{"id":87075,"text":"USGS CWSC (retired)","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":953928,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Walsh, Heather L. 0000-0001-6392-4604 hwalsh@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6392-4604","contributorId":4696,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Walsh","given":"Heather","email":"hwalsh@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[{"id":365,"text":"Leetown Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":953929,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Wichman, Dylan","contributorId":365207,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Wichman","given":"Dylan","affiliations":[{"id":87076,"text":"USGS EESC","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":953930,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Johnson, Darren 0000-0002-0502-6045","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0502-6045","contributorId":203921,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Johnson","given":"Darren","affiliations":[{"id":17705,"text":"Wetland and Aquatic Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":953931,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Patino, Renaldo 0000-0002-4831-8400","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4831-8400","contributorId":353646,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Patino","given":"Renaldo","affiliations":[{"id":12701,"text":"US Geological Survey","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":953932,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6}]}}
