Recent evidence suggests animals also use memory of previous experiences to decide when and where to move. Yet, the relative influence of the two in explaining animal space use has not been resolved. Using six large ungulate species in the Rocky Mountains (USA), we evaluated the performance of a habitat selection model with 16 environmental variables and another with two variables representing previous use (i.e., memory). While memory outperformed the environment for two species and the environment outperformed memory for four species, the influence of memory and the environment was overall comparable. The environment best explained the space use of specialists, while memory best explained species with strong site fidelity. Our work challenges traditional habitat selection theory, showcasing that animals build their spatial preferences through experience just as much as merely responding to their environment.</span></span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Wiley","doi":"10.1111/ele.70233","usgsCitation":"Verzuh, T.L., Monteith, K.L., LaSharr, T.N., Wallace, C.F., Smiley, R.A., Wagler,

We address this gap for 4 bat species that are listed, proposed for listing, or under Endangered Species Act listing review by highlighting a framework for estimating summer roost suitability with a presence-background approach to aid development of conservation policy and management plans. The 4 species of concern are the Little Brown Bat (</span><i>Myotis lucifugus</i><span>), the Northern Long-eared Bat (</span><i>M. septentrionalis</i><span>), the Indiana Bat (</span><i>M. sodalis</i><span>), and the Tricolored Bat (</span><i>Perimyotis subflavus</i><span>). Our estimates of summer roost suitability were developed for the eastern United States at a fine spatial resolution (250 m pixels) suitable for conservation planning across multiple scales. Summer roost habitat suitability was higher in areas with higher tree canopy cover for each of these species, though subtle differences were observed between the species that often use buildings (e.g., Little Brown Bat), tree crevices, cavities, and elements of dead or dying trees (e.g., Northern Long-eared Bat and Indiana Bat), and foliage (e.g., Tricolored Bat). To this end, roost suitability was not identical among species, and each showed subtly different relationships to the environmental covariates considered here. We also use a novel approach, gradient surface metrics, to quantify differences in the spatial pattern of summer roost suitability among the 4 species and found that tricolored bats and northern long-eared bats showed the most homogeneous and spatially smooth habitat suitability surfaces. Estimates of summer roost suitability developed here were also used to identify areas of good summer habitat where our models showed the least uncertainty that may be beneficial for targeted conservation, such as limiting disturbance to potential roost habitat. We also identified areas where additional data would benefit future summer roost modeling efforts. This work provides a first step toward developing multistate inventories of summer roost habitat suitable for implementing effective conservation planning at multiple scales.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Oxford Academic","doi":"10.1093/jmammal/gyaf057","usgsCitation":"Inman, R.D., Schuhmann, A.N., Sawyer, S., Gaulke, S.M., Tousley, F.C., Davis, H.T., Udell, B.J., Straw, B., Reichard, J.D., and Reichert, B., 2025, Summer roost site suitability analyses for 4 special status bat species in the Eastern United States: Journal of Mammalogy, v. 106, no. 6, p. 1399-1411, https://doi.org/10.1093/jmammal/gyaf057.","productDescription":"13 p.","startPage":"1399","endPage":"1411","ipdsId":"IP-165519","costCenters":[{"id":291,"text":"Fort Collins Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":498339,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"106","issue":"6","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2025-10-14","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Inman, Richard D. 0000-0002-1982-7791 rdinman@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1982-7791","contributorId":187754,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Inman","given":"Richard","email":"rdinman@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"D.","affiliations":[{"id":651,"text":"Western Ecological Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":953313,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Schuhmann, Andrea Nichole 0009-0005-8244-4303","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0009-0005-8244-4303","contributorId":329059,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Schuhmann","given":"Andrea","email":"","middleInitial":"Nichole","affiliations":[{"id":291,"text":"Fort Collins Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":953314,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Sawyer, Sarah","contributorId":210922,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Sawyer","given":"Sarah","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":36400,"text":"US Forest Service","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":953315,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Gaulke, Sarah Mccrimmon 0000-0002-2657-5844","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2657-5844","contributorId":225564,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Gaulke","given":"Sarah","email":"","middleInitial":"Mccrimmon","affiliations":[{"id":481,"text":"Northern Rocky Mountain Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":953316,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Tousley, Frank Charles 0000-0002-6859-7558","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6859-7558","contributorId":304216,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Tousley","given":"Frank","middleInitial":"Charles","affiliations":[{"id":291,"text":"Fort Collins Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":953317,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Davis, Helen Trice 0000-0001-5449-4331","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5449-4331","contributorId":336752,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Davis","given":"Helen","middleInitial":"Trice","affiliations":[{"id":291,"text":"Fort Collins Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":953318,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6},{"text":"Udell, Bradley James 0000-0001-5225-4959","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5225-4959","contributorId":271174,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Udell","given":"Bradley","email":"","middleInitial":"James","affiliations":[{"id":291,"text":"Fort Collins Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":953319,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":7},{"text":"Straw, Bethany R. 0000-0001-9086-4600","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9086-4600","contributorId":271020,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Straw","given":"Bethany","middleInitial":"R.","affiliations":[{"id":291,"text":"Fort Collins Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":953320,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":8},{"text":"Reichard, Jonathan D. 0000-0002-4792-2868","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4792-2868","contributorId":337073,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Reichard","given":"Jonathan","email":"","middleInitial":"D.","affiliations":[{"id":36188,"text":"U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":953321,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":9},{"text":"Reichert, Brian E. 0000-0002-9640-0695","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9640-0695","contributorId":204260,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Reichert","given":"Brian","middleInitial":"E.","affiliations":[{"id":291,"text":"Fort Collins Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":953322,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":10}]}}

The lake shifted to a turbid state in the 1990s with suspended-sediment concentrations sometimes exceeding 1000 mg/L and minimal light available in the water column for submerged aquatic vegetation. Resource managers intend to enhance bird habitat quality by restoring the lake to a clear, vegetated state. Ten mesocosms were installed to experimentally test the effects of wave-reduction barriers and flocculation (aluminum sulfate followed by lanthanum-modified bentonite clay) on dependent variables including turbidity, suspended-sediment concentrations, nutrient concentrations, and photosynthetically active radiation. Flocculation additions temporarily decreased turbidity by ≥ 90% and significantly increased photosynthetically active radiation by &gt; 400% through the water column. Orthophosphate concentrations significantly decreased following the first flocculation addition. The clay did not cap the flocculated material, and turbidity increased within a few days from wind-wave action. Wind directions in the middle of the lake were variable, minimizing the effect of wave-reduction barriers on dependent variables. This study showed that the light required for submerged aquatic vegetation can be temporarily attained at the lakebed using flocculation. Future experiments could attempt to prolong the duration of low turbidity by effectively capping the flocculated material. The findings demonstrate the complexity of disrupting shallow lake feedback loops and offer insights for turbid-state lake restoration.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Springer Nature","doi":"10.1007/s11273-025-10094-9","usgsCitation":"Smith, C., and Brannan, R., 2025, Evaluating effectiveness of flocculation and wave-reduction barriers for restoration of a turbid, terminal lake: Wetlands Ecology and Management, v. 33, 82, 16 p., https://doi.org/10.1007/s11273-025-10094-9.","productDescription":"82, 16 p.","ipdsId":"IP-177920","costCenters":[{"id":518,"text":"Oregon Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":496937,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s11273-025-10094-9","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":496900,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Oregon","otherGeospatial":"Malheur Lake","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -119,\n              43.4167\n            ],\n            [\n              -119,\n              43.1667\n            ],\n            [\n              -118.5833,\n              43.1667\n            ],\n            [\n              -118.5833,\n              43.4167\n            ],\n            [\n              -119,\n              43.4167\n            ]\n          ]\n        ],\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"33","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2025-10-14","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Smith, Cassandra 0000-0003-1088-1772 cassandrasmith@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1088-1772","contributorId":193491,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Smith","given":"Cassandra","email":"cassandrasmith@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":518,"text":"Oregon Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":951022,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Brannan, Randy Joe 0009-0001-1622-9251","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0009-0001-1622-9251","contributorId":351630,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Brannan","given":"Randy Joe","affiliations":[{"id":120,"text":"Alaska Science Center Water","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":951023,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}}

Some of these maps also fulfilled engineering and mission design needs to enable safe and efficient landing and roving. We incorporated data from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera, the Lunar Orbital Laser Altimeter, the Mini-RF instrument, the Chandrayaan-2 Orbital High Resolution Camera, the Korean Pathfinder Lunar Orbiter’s Shadowcam, the Kaguya Spectral Profiler and Multiband Imager, and the Chandrayaan-1 Moon Mineralogy Mapper. We used a variety of techniques to build these maps, including stereogrammetry, shape-from-shading, ice stability depth and surface temperature calculations, and the horizon method for solar illumination and direct-to-Earth communications maps. Altogether, these maps allowed us to survey for boulders, evaluate features in permanently shadowed regions that VIPER might explore, provide mineralogic context for what VIPER’s instruments may learn, estimate the ages and radar properties of craters in the VIPER mission area, and evaluate the potential for gravity traverses with the rover. These data and techniques provided a rich set of information from which both the VIPER science team and engineering teams were able to draw in order to plan a safe landing and to plan a VIPER surface mission that will be both scientifically valuable and robust from an operational perspective.</span></span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"American Astronomical

However, food-web structure may provide valuable insight into ecosystem functioning trajectories. Here, we studied restored tidal marshes of different ages (</span><i>new</i><span>,&nbsp;</span><i>young</i><span>,&nbsp;</span><i>old</i><span>; spanning 1–150 years) in comparison with nearby reference sites along the San Francisco Estuary. We asked: (1) How does restoration help recover energy pathways that support fishes? (2) Do fishes rely more on algal versus detrital pathways in restored sites?; and (3) How does food-web structure vary as a function of species origin and life history? To answer these questions, we sampled fish (</span><i>n</i><span> = 806) and basal resources (emergent vegetation and phytoplankton;&nbsp;</span><i>n</i><span> = 109) seasonally over two hydrologically contrasting years. Using stable isotopes (δ</span><sup>13</sup><span>C, δ</span><sup>15</sup><span>N, and δ</span><sup>34</sup><span>S), we calculated fish isotopic niche volumes, food chain lengths, and the relative importance of algal versus detrital energy pathways. We found that food chains in restored sites were 8% shorter than in their paired reference sites. Additionally, the&nbsp;</span><i>young</i><span>&nbsp;and&nbsp;</span><i>old</i><span>&nbsp;restored sites had 37% smaller niche volumes than their references, but the opposite was true for the&nbsp;</span><i>new</i><span>&nbsp;restored site (11% larger), illustrating the characteristic trophic surge of early succession. Fishes found in restored sites relied significantly less on detrital energy (7% less) than fishes found in reference sites, and resident fishes showed 12% higher reliance on the detrital pathway than transient species. Finally, most of the native niche volume overlapped with that of introduced fish, which was in turn 38% larger, and a similar pattern was observed when comparing resident to transient fish. Our findings demonstrate that food-web structure does not immediately recover with tidal marsh restoration, even if fish assemblages are species-rich; and show that transient trophic surges may complicate restoration success assessments of newly restored marshes. We contend that incorporating recovery of energy pathways as an indicator of performance may help strengthen monitoring and design of wetland ecosystem restoration projects.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Ecological Society of America","doi":"10.1002/eap.70110","usgsCitation":"Pagliaro, M.D., De La Cruz, S.E., Woo, I., Sousa, J., Rich, N., Grimaldo, L., Colombano, D., and Ruhí, A., 2025, Does tidal marsh restoration lead to the recovery of trophic pathways that support estuarine fishes?: Ecological Applications, v. 35, no. 7, e70110, 19 p., https://doi.org/10.1002/eap.70110.","productDescription":"e70110, 19 p.","ipdsId":"IP-172413","costCenters":[{"id":651,"text":"Western Ecological Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":497112,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/eap.70110","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":497058,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"California","otherGeospatial":"San Francisco Bay-Delta","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -122.13450674043398,\n              38.15156417948114\n            ],\n            [\n              -122.13450674043398,\n              37.99624365988022\n            ],\n            [\n              -121.70778013191887,\n              37.99624365988022\n            ],\n            [\n              -121.70778013191887,\n              38.15156417948114\n            ],\n            [\n              -122.13450674043398,\n              38.15156417948114\n            ]\n          ]\n        ],\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"35","issue":"7","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2025-10-11","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Pagliaro, Megan D.","contributorId":363231,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Pagliaro","given":"Megan","middleInitial":"D.","affiliations":[{"id":6609,"text":"UC Berkeley","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":951339,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"De La Cruz, Susan E.W. 0000-0001-6315-0864","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6315-0864","contributorId":202774,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"De La Cruz","given":"Susan","email":"","middleInitial":"E.W.","affiliations":[{"id":651,"text":"Western Ecological Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":951340,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Woo, Isa","contributorId":363234,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Woo","given":"Isa","affiliations":[{"id":37814,"text":"Former USGS","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":951341,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Sousa, Jake","contributorId":363235,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Sousa","given":"Jake","affiliations":[{"id":80078,"text":"ICF","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":951342,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Rich, Natalie","contributorId":363238,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Rich","given":"Natalie","affiliations":[{"id":6609,"text":"UC Berkeley","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":951343,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Grimaldo, Lenny","contributorId":10728,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Grimaldo","given":"Lenny","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":35724,"text":"ICF, San Francisco, USA","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":951344,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6},{"text":"Colombano, Denise","contributorId":297365,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Colombano","given":"Denise","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":951345,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":7},{"text":"Ruhí, Albert","contributorId":363243,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Ruhí","given":"Albert","affiliations":[{"id":6609,"text":"UC Berkeley","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":951346,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":8}]}}

Bull trout (</span><i>Salvelinus confluentus</i><span>), a piscivorous salmonid and one of North America's most threatened cold-water species, has declined significantly due to habitat loss, overfishing, invasive species, and climate change. While recovery efforts have primarily targeted these threats, the role of prey availability in influencing bull trout population dynamics under multiple stressors remains poorly understood. Using a stage-based integrated population model, we quantified the effects of non-native prey availability (kokanee;&nbsp;</span><i>Oncorhynchus nerka</i><span>), angling pressure, climatic variation, and density-dependent processes on bull trout population dynamics in Lake Koocanusa, a transboundary reservoir and river system (United States and Canada), over a 40-year period (1980–2023). Our results show that bull trout populations are regulated by density-dependent processes, including over-compensation in sub-adult recruitment and reduced adult survival at high densities. Increased kokanee biomass and restricted harvest significantly enhanced bull trout survival and abundance, whereas reduced water availability had a limited negative effect on sub-adult production. Model simulations indicate that as kokanee biomass availability increases, the number of bull trout that can be sustainably harvested also increases. In fact, a modest annual fishery (300 individuals) can be sustained, especially under moderate to high kokanee biomass conditions. These results underscore the importance of prey availability, including non-native species, in supporting bull trout populations. Effective management of threatened apex fish predators like bull trout requires addressing the complex interplay between environmental threats, prey dynamics, and density-dependent mechanisms across all life stages.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Ecological Society of America","doi":"10.1002/eap.70103","usgsCitation":"Cochrane, M., Cline, T., Schmidt, T.S., Dunnigan, J., Warnock, W., and Muhlfeld, C.C., 2025, Non-native prey availability and over-compensatory density dependence drive population dynamics of a native fish predator: Ecological Applications, v. 35, no. 7, e70103, 16 p., https://doi.org/10.1002/eap.70103.","productDescription":"e70103, 16 p.","ipdsId":"IP-173240","costCenters":[{"id":481,"text":"Northern Rocky Mountain Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":496925,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/eap.70103","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":496789,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"Canada, United States","state":"British Columbia, Montana","otherGeospatial":"Lake Koocanusa","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -115.41674082695792,\n              49.37701492800039\n            ],\n            [\n              -115.41674082695792,\n              48.769300021930604\n            ],\n            [\n              -115.08255833560938,\n              48.769300021930604\n            ],\n            [\n              -115.08255833560938,\n              49.37701492800039\n            ],\n            [\n              -115.41674082695792,\n              49.37701492800039\n            ]\n          ]\n        ],\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"35","issue":"7","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2025-10-10","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Cochrane, Madaline","contributorId":362831,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Cochrane","given":"Madaline","affiliations":[{"id":36555,"text":"Montana State University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":950747,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Cline, Timothy","contributorId":339987,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Cline","given":"Timothy","affiliations":[{"id":36555,"text":"Montana State University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":950748,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Schmidt, Travis S. 0000-0003-1400-0637 tschmidt@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1400-0637","contributorId":221742,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Schmidt","given":"Travis","email":"tschmidt@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"S.","affiliations":[{"id":191,"text":"Colorado Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":685,"text":"Wyoming-Montana Water Science Center","active":false,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":950749,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Dunnigan, James","contributorId":279960,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Dunnigan","given":"James","affiliations":[{"id":48633,"text":"MT FWP","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":950750,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Warnock, Will","contributorId":362833,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Warnock","given":"Will","affiliations":[{"id":83135,"text":"British Columbia Ministry of Water, Land, and Resource Stewardship","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":950751,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Muhlfeld, Clint C. 0000-0002-4599-4059 cmuhlfeld@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4599-4059","contributorId":924,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Muhlfeld","given":"Clint","email":"cmuhlfeld@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"C.","affiliations":[{"id":481,"text":"Northern Rocky Mountain Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":200,"text":"Coop Res Unit Seattle","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":950752,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6}]}}

Upon return, samples would be housed in a sample receiving facility under biological containment to prevent exposing Earth’s biosphere to any potential biohazards that might be present. Samples could be released from high containment for scientific investigations if they are found to be safe or are sterilized. The Sample Safety Assessment Protocol Tiger Team (SSAP-TT) was convened by the Sample Receiving Project between August 2023 and August 2024 and tasked with the development of a Sample Safety Assessment Protocol (SSAP). The result of this work is a proposed three-step protocol, supported by Bayesian statistical hypothesis testing, to assess the risk as to whether returned samples contain modern martian biology that could represent a biohazard. The proposed protocol outlines procedures to determine whether the samples could be safely released from high containment without sterilization or require a “hold and review” step. This article presents the central concept of the SSAP approach—comparing returned samples to the abiotic baseline. Organic molecules, which exist throughout the solar system, can have either biotic or abiotic origins. However, biotically produced organic molecules exhibit distinct complexity, distribution, and abundance characteristics that differentiate them from those formed through abiotic chemistry. The proposed protocol would examine the organic inventory of returned samples by using multiple techniques, including morphological and spectral assessments, to determine whether any signals exceed the abiotic baseline; that is, whether the organic molecular inventory could be explained solely by abiotic chemical synthesis. This approach provides a rigorous, yet feasible, safety assessment protocol by using modern techniques while minimizing sample consumption. We also identify key areas for future research and development, which include detection limits and further characterization of the martian abiotic background.</span></span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"SAGE Publications","doi":"10.1177/15311074251382156","usgsCitation":"Teece, B.L., Beaty, D.W., Graham, H.V., McDonnell, G., Sherwood

Most previous reports of secondary sap consumption relied on human observers and were based on either brief or incidental observations. However, modern technology can greatly enhance observational techniques and provide additional insights into the functional, community-level importance of sap wells. We used visual surveys, camera traps, and environmental DNA (eDNA) to identify secondary consumers of sap from wells created by red-naped (</span><i>Sphyrapicus nuchalis</i><span>) and Williamson's (</span><i>S. thyroideus</i><span>) sapsuckers among three functional groups of shrubs and trees in south-central Colorado: shrub willows (</span><i>Salix</i><span>&nbsp;spp.), Rocky Mountain maple (</span><i>Acer glabrum</i><span>), and conifer trees (Pinopsida). Camera traps and eDNA revealed additional sap-well visitors not identified from direct observations. Camera traps were effective for detecting nocturnal sap-well visitors such as small rodents as well as occasional diurnal visitors. Environmental DNA analyses corroborated findings from other methods and identified four additional taxa as possible sap consumers. The physiology of sap-well visitors, such as the ability to taste and assimilate compounds within sap, may aid in determining consumption versus contact when evaluating the results of eDNA analyses. Total vertebrate taxa detected using all 3 methods included 17 bird taxa in 10 families within 3 orders and 8 mammal taxa in 6 families within 4 orders. Shrub-willow sap wells attracted the most diverse vertebrate taxa (23), followed by Rocky Mountain maple (13) and conifer trees (10). Invertebrates in 13 families within 3 orders were observed feeding from sap wells during visual surveys. Because many secondary sap consumers perform ecological services such as pollination, seed dispersal, and pest control, the methods described here may aid in elucidating the importance of sap-well creators in supporting biodiversity and ecosystem functioning.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Wiley","doi":"10.1002/ece3.72277","usgsCitation":"Clawges, R., Blair, S., Eitel, J., Svancara, L.K., Vierling, L.A., and Vierling, K., 2025, Sapsucker wells as a keystone nutritional resource: Evaluating methods for detection of secondary sap consumers: Ecology and Evolution, v. 15, no. 10, e72277, 18 p., https://doi.org/10.1002/ece3.72277.","productDescription":"e72277, 18 p.","ipdsId":"IP-177667","costCenters":[{"id":49226,"text":"Northwest Climate Adaptation Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":496747,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/ece3.72277","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":496642,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Colorado","county":"Custer Couty, Huerfano County, Pueblo County","otherGeospatial":"Wet Mountains","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -106.56183958865896,\n              38.22746340134614\n            ],\n            [\n              -106.56183958865896,\n              37.04012010581634\n            ],\n            [\n              -104.6650515745562,\n              37.04012010581634\n            ],\n            [\n              -104.6650515745562,\n              38.22746340134614\n            ],\n            [\n              -106.56183958865896,\n              38.22746340134614\n            ]\n          ]\n        ],\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"15","issue":"10","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2025-10-09","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Clawges, Richard","contributorId":362438,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Clawges","given":"Richard","affiliations":[{"id":36394,"text":"University of Idaho","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":950476,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Blair, Shannon","contributorId":354984,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Blair","given":"Shannon","affiliations":[{"id":36394,"text":"University of Idaho","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":950477,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Eitel, Jan H.","contributorId":236991,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Eitel","given":"Jan H.","affiliations":[{"id":36394,"text":"University of Idaho","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":950478,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Svancara, Leona Kay 0009-0007-1936-6079","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0009-0007-1936-6079","contributorId":359789,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Svancara","given":"Leona","middleInitial":"Kay","affiliations":[{"id":49226,"text":"Northwest Climate Adaptation Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":950479,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Vierling, Lee A.","contributorId":169443,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Vierling","given":"Lee","email":"","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[{"id":6711,"text":"University of Idaho, Moscow ID","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":950480,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Vierling, Kerri","contributorId":280031,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Vierling","given":"Kerri","affiliations":[{"id":39599,"text":"ui","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":950481,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6}]}}

The Forestry Reclamation Approach (FRA) is a mine reclamation method that emphasizes best management practices in forestry. FRA practices have demonstrated success in establishing native forests and accelerating natural succession on coal mines; however, no studies have empirically examined the effects of the FRA on bird communities. Our study aimed to assess the avian community composition within young forests reclaimed using the FRA after one decade of forest growth. Whereas traditional reclamation practices often support grassland avian guilds, we expected that the FRA would provide habitat for shrubland and young forest avian guilds. Moreover, we sought to determine whether FRA forests would contain known avian indicator species of the native forest land cover. In June 2022, we conducted point count surveys in high-elevation, red spruce-northern hardwood (RS-NH) forests in the Appalachian Mountains of eastern West Virginia, USA. Using Bayesian multispecies occupancy models, we assessed avian guild occupancy and species richness within two FRA forest age classes (2–5 years and 8–11 years). We also examined avian community composition within two older RS-NH reference age classes to predict the future avian composition within FRA forests if reclamation succeeds. We found that the FRA breeding bird community included all of the avian indicator species expected to inhabit a young RS-NH forest.

However, variation in spectral fluorescence properties of alginite macerals with increasing thermal maturity is largely underexplored. Here, authors of this study have applied confocal laser-scanning microscopy (CLSM) in conjunction with fluorescence microspectrometry to a maturity series of marine Upper Devonian&nbsp;</span><i>Tasmanites</i><span>&nbsp;algae from the Ohio Shale (Huron Member) and a single sample from the Marcellus Formation of the Appalachian Basin. Spectral fluorescence properties of&nbsp;</span><i>Tasmanites</i><span>&nbsp;were evaluated in relation to orientation, measurement location, and the number of measurements per sample, and were compared to published literature. Emission spectra of&nbsp;</span><i>Tasmanites</i><span>&nbsp;from continuous wave laser excitation (405&nbsp;nm) were acquired from sections perpendicular and parallel to bedding and at different positions within individual&nbsp;</span><i>Tasmanites</i><span>&nbsp;bodies. The results showed a progressive red-shift in emission maxima (λ</span><sub>max</sub><span>) in a large sample sized maturity series (</span><i>N</i><span>&nbsp;=&nbsp;19), e.g., 493 to 578&nbsp;nm for the perpendicular section at middle position. Further, blue-shifted apex and mineral-adjacent positions within sections perpendicular to bedding were observed, with the latter being reported here for the first time. While blue-shift at apex positions can be attributed to mechanical deformation-induced reorientation of photoselected fluorophores, the blue-shifted mineral-adjacent positions could result from strain loading and development of a plastic deformation region at the mineral contact zone with&nbsp;</span><i>Tasmanites</i><span>. A decrease in standard deviation with increasing number of measured emission maxima is well-observed, and 15 to 20 individual measurements per sample appears sufficient for low standard deviation and coefficient of variance. CLSM-derived thermal maturity parameters indicated that a moderate positive correlation of red/green quotient (Q</span><sub>650/500</sub><span>; R</span><sup>2</sup><span>&nbsp;=&nbsp;0.67) with solid bitumen reflectance (BR</span><sub>o</sub><span>&nbsp;in %) exists. For reproducible results, the determination of λ</span><sub>max</sub><span>&nbsp;and Q</span><sub>650/500</sub><span>&nbsp;should be conducted exclusively in the middle position at perpendicular and parallel sections of the polished whole-rock pellets, where the lowest standard deviation in measurement was observed.

Sites in the Upper Midwest, with other PFAS sources, had qualitatively lower concentrations of PFAS than AFFF source sites. Perfluorooctane sulfonate was the only PFAS detected in all samples. Concentrations of most other PFAS, such as the carboxylates and fluorotelomers, did not differ between AFFF and reference sites. Perfluorohexane sulfonate, the second-most common constituent of some legacy AFFF formulations, was &lt;1% of Total</span><sub>40</sub><span>&nbsp;at the reference sites in eggs and nestlings, but perfluorohexane sulfonate represented up to 9.7% (eggs) and 9.0% (nestlings) at AFFF-influenced sites. Despite differences in PFAS exposure, the daily probability of egg and nestling survival, as well as haptoglobin-like activity (PIT54) and total immunoglobulin Y, was similar across all sites. There were also no significant associations between these end points and concentrations of Total</span><sub>40</sub><span>&nbsp;or individual PFAS in eggs or

We combined individual banding and resighting data and genotyped individuals at 22 microsatellite loci to assess whether heterozygosity was associated with survival across three regional Cactus Wren populations on conserved lands in Orange and San Diego Counties between 2009 and 2020. Using Cormack-Jolly-Seber models (CJS) to analyze the 5-year capture histories of 528 individual wrens, we found that age class (hatch year or after hatch year) was the strongest predictor of survival. Individual heterozygosity and precipitation also had positive effects on survival, with survival up to 2 times higher in the most heterozygous individuals compared to the least and up to 1.5 times higher in high precipitation years versus drought years. Multi-locus heterozygosity was significantly correlated across loci, suggesting that inbreeding depression is likely driving the association between survival and heterozygosity. Study results support that genetic rescue efforts that reduce inbreeding have the potential to improve fitness and mitigate further loss of genetic variation in managed populations.</span></span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Society for Conservation Biology","doi":"10.1111/csp2.70155","usgsCitation":"Vandergast, A.G., Mitelberg, A., Kus, B.E., Preston, K.L., Lynn, S., Houston, A., and Klinger, R.C., 2025, Genetic and environmental factors associated with survival of a rare songbird in a fragmented urban landscape: Conservation Science and Practice, v. 7, no. 12, e70155, 14 p., https://doi.org/10.1111/csp2.70155.","productDescription":"e70155, 14 p.","ipdsId":"IP-180356","costCenters":[{"id":651,"text":"Western Ecological Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":497185,"rank":2,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":497395,"rank":1,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1111/csp2.70155","text":"Publisher Index Page"}],"country":"United States","state":"California","county":"Orange County, San Diego County","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -118.45098240465302,\n              33.788832546013026\n            ],\n            [\n              -118.45098240465302,\n              32.58385755405139\n            ],\n            [\n              -116.21159447208314,\n              32.58385755405139\n            ],\n            [\n              -116.21159447208314,\n              33.788832546013026\n            ],\n            [\n              -118.45098240465302,\n              33.788832546013026\n            ]\n          ]\n        ],\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"7","issue":"12","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2025-10-08","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Vandergast, Amy G. 0000-0002-7835-6571","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7835-6571","contributorId":57201,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Vandergast","given":"Amy","middleInitial":"G.","affiliations":[{"id":651,"text":"Western Ecological Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":951635,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Mitelberg, Anna 0000-0002-3309-9946 amitelberg@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3309-9946","contributorId":218945,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Mitelberg","given":"Anna","email":"amitelberg@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":651,"text":"Western Ecological Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":951636,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Kus, Barbara E. 0000-0002-3679-3044 barbara_kus@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3679-3044","contributorId":203745,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Kus","given":"Barbara","email":"barbara_kus@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"E.","affiliations":[{"id":651,"text":"Western Ecological Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":951637,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Preston, Kristine L. 0000-0002-6958-1128 kpreston@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6958-1128","contributorId":207765,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Preston","given":"Kristine","email":"kpreston@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[{"id":651,"text":"Western Ecological Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":951638,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Lynn, Suellen 0000-0003-1543-0209 suellen_lynn@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1543-0209","contributorId":3843,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Lynn","given":"Suellen","email":"suellen_lynn@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":651,"text":"Western Ecological Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":951639,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Houston, Alexandra 0000-0002-8599-8265 ahouston@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8599-8265","contributorId":139460,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Houston","given":"Alexandra","email":"ahouston@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":651,"text":"Western Ecological Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":951640,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6},{"text":"Klinger, Robert C.","contributorId":363410,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Klinger","given":"Robert","middleInitial":"C.","affiliations":[{"id":17847,"text":"USGS-WERC","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":951641,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":7}]}}

Previous records, confined to the margins of the modern land area and adjacent shelf, reveal conflicting interpretations of Beringian vegetation during the LGM. Here, we reconstruct LGM vegetation, sedimentology, and stable isotopes from a central BLB paleo-lake (Lake Knebel, LK) and compare it with a Holocene peat record from nearby St. Matthew Island (SMI). Results show strong similarities between LGM and late Holocene pollen assemblages, although with differences in relative taxonomic abundance. LGM communities are consistent with a cold and dry steppe or herb tundra environment but suggest the possibility of localized Betula presence in low-lying areas. LK’s bedded lacustrine stratigraphy transitions into undisturbed marine sediments by ~19&nbsp;ka, providing a maximum limiting age of the transgression. Shrub absence on SMI today and during the Holocene is consistent with island isolation before ~14 to 15&nbsp;ka, when Betula expanded rapidly at most sites with Bølling-Allerød warming. The combined vegetation evidence indicates preservation of LGM tundra and steppe vegetation assemblages on SMI, suggesting that island vegetation communities may provide additional constraints on the timing of sea level transgression.</span></span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Taylor and Francis","doi":"10.1080/15230430.2025.2557062","usgsCitation":"Jones, M.C., Anderson, L., Caissie, B.E., Harning, D.J., and Ager, T.A., 2025, Sea-level driven isolation of glacial plant refugia revealed by submerged lake sediment from the Bering Land Bridge and St. Matthew Island: Arctic Antarctic and Alpine Research, v. 57, no. 1, 2557062, 21 p., https://doi.org/10.1080/15230430.2025.2557062.","productDescription":"2557062, 21 p.","ipdsId":"IP-178054","costCenters":[{"id":40020,"text":"Florence Bascom Geoscience Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":499933,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1080/15230430.2025.2557062","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":499647,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Alaska","otherGeospatial":"Bering Land Bridge, St. Matthew Island","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -173.87930380308052,\n              63.86224983419106\n            ],\n            [\n              -173.87930380308052,\n              60.66791533892487\n            ],\n            [\n              -161.92701451875794,\n              60.66791533892487\n            ],\n            [\n              -161.92701451875794,\n              63.86224983419106\n            ],\n            [\n              -173.87930380308052,\n              63.86224983419106\n            ]\n          ]\n        ],\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"57","issue":"1","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2025-10-08","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Jones, Miriam C. 0000-0002-6650-7619","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6650-7619","contributorId":257239,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Jones","given":"Miriam","email":"","middleInitial":"C.","affiliations":[{"id":40020,"text":"Florence Bascom Geoscience Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":955184,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Anderson, Lesleigh 0000-0002-5264-089X","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5264-089X","contributorId":264358,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Anderson","given":"Lesleigh","affiliations":[{"id":318,"text":"Geosciences and Environmental Change Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":955185,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Caissie, Beth Elaine 0000-0001-9587-1842","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9587-1842","contributorId":292500,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Caissie","given":"Beth","email":"","middleInitial":"Elaine","affiliations":[{"id":312,"text":"Geology, Minerals, Energy, and Geophysics Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":955186,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Harning, David J.","contributorId":366035,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Harning","given":"David","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[{"id":13693,"text":"University of Colorado Boulder","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":955187,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Ager, Thomas A. 0000-0002-5029-7581 tager@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5029-7581","contributorId":736,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Ager","given":"Thomas","email":"tager@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[{"id":318,"text":"Geosciences and Environmental Change Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":955188,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5}]}}

The map is constructed from two data sets: Magnetometer time series from 22 ground-based observatories recording 40 magnetic storms, and surface impedance tensors derived from magnetotelluric measurements acquired at 1616 survey sites across the contiguous United States. Carrington-class storm geoelectric fields are likely to be very strong in the United States East and Midwest; &gt; <strong>5.00 </strong></span><span>V/km at many places.

Comparison of model geopotentials with those measured on 30 long lines, indicates errors of about 18%.

Tracking individual fire spread and intensity using satellite active fire data provides a pathway to near real-time (NRT) information. Here, we generated a large database (</span><i>n</i><span> = 2177) of wildfire events in the western United States (U.S.) between 2012 and 2021 using active fire detections from the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) sensor on the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (SNPP) satellite and the Fire Events Data Suite (FEDS) algorithm to track large fire growth every 12&nbsp;h. We integrated fire tracking data with final fire perimeters and burn severity data from the Monitoring Trends in Burn Severity (MTBS) program to evaluate the relationship between burn severity and fire behavior metrics derived from the fire tracking approach, including the rate of fire spread and average fire radiative power (FRP) of fire detections for each 12-h growth increment.</span></p><p><span>Results</span></p><p><span>When stratified by vegetation type, FRP and rate of spread metrics were positively correlated with classified burn severity for each 12-h growth increment, highlighting the potential to rapidly identify areas of high and low severity burning. In forests, integrated measures of FRP over the fire lifetime captured persistent flaming and smoldering that compensated for initial differences between AM (01:30) and PM (13:30) fire detections. Predictive modeling of these relationships based on multiple fire behavior indicators and vegetation type from the LANDFIRE program yielded an accuracy of 78% for the separation of unburned/low and moderate/high burn severity classes.</span></p><p><span>Conclusions</span></p><p><span>These results demonstrate the ability to capture within-fire differences in burn severity using NRT indicators from fire tracking to assist with emergency management and disaster preparedness for post-fire hazards, such as landslides, debris flows, or changes in stream flow and water quality. As VIIRS data are available within minutes of each satellite overpass in the U.S., rapid estimates of burn severity based on fire tracking can be made days or weeks before a large wildfire is fully contained.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Springer Nature","doi":"10.1186/s42408-025-00407-x","usgsCitation":"Orland, E., McCabe, T., Chen, Y., Scholten, R.C., Becker, Z., Loehman,

Climate change can affect infection dynamics in wildlife through direct effects on pathogens (e.g., environmental decay rates) and changes to host ecology, including shifting migration patterns. Here, we adapt an existing mechanistic model that couples migration and infection to study how traits of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) viruses contribute to HPAI outcomes in migratory waterfowl, then apply this model to explore potential impacts of climate change on HPAI dynamics. We find that the simulated impacts of HPAI on the host population under baseline climate conditions varied from no impact to 100% mortality, depending on viral traits. In most cases, traits related to transmission (i.e., contact rates, shedding rates) were more important for HPAI establishment probability, infection prevalence, and mortality than were other viral traits (e.g., environmental temperature sensitivity, cross-protective immunity). We then simulated the effects of climate change (i.e., altered temperature regimes) on HPAI dynamics both via viral environmental decay and via changes in bird migration phenology. In these simulations, we found that a 9-day advancement in spring migration timing increased the duration of HPAI outbreaks by increasing time birds spent at their breeding grounds, leading to higher mortality and fewer infections. In contrast, increased viral decay in warmer years had a smaller, but opposite impact. These patterns depended on the primary transmission mode of HPAI (i.e., direct vs. environmental) and its sensitivity to environmental temperatures. Together, these results suggest that climate change is likely to increase the impacts of HPAI on waterfowl populations if HPAI relies strongly on direct transmission and birds advance their spring migration. Further integrating host-viral co-evolution and other climatic changes (e.g., salinity, humidity) could provide more precise predictions of how HPAI dynamics could change in the future.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"PLoS","doi":"10.1371/journal.pcbi.1013451","usgsCitation":"Teitelbaum, C.S., Casazza, M.L., Overton, C.T., Matchett, E., and Prosser, D.J., 2025,

This review focuses on the potential and challenges of using scattered coda waves from noise correlation functions to monitor critical zone dynamics. The sensitivity of seismic velocities to various environmental factors, including precipitation, snowmelt, atmospheric pressure, and groundwater fluctuations, underscores the method’s versatility. While coda waves excel in detecting subtle changes due to their scattered nature, ballistic waves provide higher spatial resolution, albeit with challenges in source stability. Advances in seismic sensing, including distributed acoustic sensing and low-cost geophone networks, have enabled high-resolution monitoring of hydrological processes, subsurface deformation, and seismic hazards. Integrating seismic data with hydrological models provides insights into water storage, pore pressure changes, and soil moisture dynamics. However, limitations in spatial resolution, calibration with ground truth data, and coupled effects between environmental factors remain key challenges. This review emphasizes the importance of interdisciplinary approaches in refining methodologies, enhancing sensor deployments, and addressing data gaps. Passive seismic monitoring offers opportunities to understand critical zone processes and their broader impacts on seismic hazards and environmental sustainability.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Academie des Sciences, Institut de France","doi":"10.5802/crgeos.310","usgsCitation":"Denolle, M.A., Shi, Q., Clements, T., Viens, L., Rodriguez-Tribaldos, V., and Cotton, F., 2025, Ambient field seismology in critical zone hydrological sciences: Comptes Rendus.
