Differences in larval habitats, flight, and biting patterns of the primary vector species result in substantial differences in epidemiology, with WNV more common, primarily occurring in urban areas, and EEEV relatively rare, typically occurring near swamp habitats. The complex transmission ecology of these viruses complicates prediction of disease outbreaks. The Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management (DEM) and Department of Health (DoH) provide prevention assistance to towns and maintain a mosquito surveillance program to identify potential disease risk. Responses to potential outbreaks follow a protocol based on surveillance results, assessment of human risk, and technical consultation.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"Rhode Island Medical

The Laysan duck (Anas laysanensis) is an endangered bird native to the Hawaiian Archipelago that was extirpated from most islands after the introduction of mammalian predators. Laysan ducks were restricted to a single remote island, Laysan Island (4.1 km<sup>2</sup>), for nearly 150 years. Since the species is not known to disperse between distant Hawaiian Islands today, 42 wild birds from Laysan Island were translocated to another mammalian predator-free low-lying atoll (Midway Atoll; 6.0 km<sup>2</sup>) to reduce extinction risk. We explored how variation in demography influences establishment and longer-term retention of genetic diversity (rare alleles) for reintroductions of this species. We observed dramatic differences in population growth between the source (λ = 1.18) and reintroduced (λ = 3.28) population. The number of eggs hatched at Midway Atoll was greater than at Laysan Island, however, we found no difference in hatching success (proportion of clutch hatched) between populations. Adult females produced 3 times as many fledglings per breeding year on Midway Atoll compared to Laysan Island. We estimated population abundance of both populations until 2010 and applied a Gompertz model with a Bayesian approach to infer density dependence, process variation, observation error, and carrying capacity for the Laysan Island and Midway Atoll populations. The carrying capacity from the Gompertz model for Midway Atoll (K = 883 ± 210 SD) was estimated to be greater than that of Laysan Island (K = 598 ± 76 SD). Translocations with small numbers of founders and no immigration can create population bottlenecks, leading to loss of genetic variation over time, and potentially reducing the reintroduced population's viability or its potential to serve as a source for future translocations. Therefore, we also assessed the probability of retaining rare alleles in an isolated reintroduced Laysan duck population using life history parameters observed from the Laysan Island and Midway Atoll populations; we concluded that additional founders are needed under scenarios using demographic estimates from both Laysan Island and Midway Atoll to retain either 90% or 95% of source population genetic diversity.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Journal of Wildlife Management","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"Wiley","doi":"10.1002/jwmg.582","usgsCitation":"Reynolds, M.H., Weiser, E., Jamieson, I., and Hatfield, J., 2013, Demographic variation, reintroduction, and persistence of an island duck (<i>Anas laysanensis</i>): Journal of Wildlife Management, v. 77, no. 6, p. 1094-1103, https://doi.org/10.1002/jwmg.582.","productDescription":"10 p.","startPage":"1094","endPage":"1103","numberOfPages":"10","ipdsId":"IP-045426","costCenters":[{"id":521,"text":"Pacific Island Ecosystems Research Center","active":false,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":278289,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":278288,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.1002/jwmg.582"}],"country":"United States","otherGeospatial":"Laysan Island;Midway Atoll","geographicExtents":"{ \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\", \"features\": [ { \"type\": \"Feature\", \"properties\": {}, \"geometry\": { \"type\": \"Polygon\", \"coordinates\": [ [ [ -178.62,25.78 ], [ -178.62,28.96 ], [ -171.72,28.96 ], [ -171.72,25.78 ], [ -178.62,25.78 ] ] ] } } ] }","volume":"77","issue":"6","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2013-07-11","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"52625863e4b079a99629a0f6","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Reynolds, Michelle H. 0000-0001-7253-8158 mreynolds@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7253-8158","contributorId":3871,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Reynolds","given":"Michelle","email":"mreynolds@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"H.","affiliations":[{"id":521,"text":"Pacific Island Ecosystems Research Center","active":false,"usgs":true},{"id":5049,"text":"Pacific Islands Ecosys Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":484871,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Weiser, Emily","contributorId":49267,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Weiser","given":"Emily","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":484873,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Jamieson, Ian","contributorId":9567,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Jamieson","given":"Ian","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":484872,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Hatfield, Jeffrey S. jhatfield@usgs.gov","contributorId":151,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Hatfield","given":"Jeffrey S.","email":"jhatfield@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":531,"text":"Patuxent Wildlife Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":484870,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4}]}}

These artificial flows often subsidize important perennial surface water ecosystems in the region. An explicit understanding of the benefits of maintaining instream flow for present and future generations requires the ability to assess and understand the important trade-offs implicit in water-resource management decisions. In this paper, we outline an approach for modeling and visualizing impacts of management decisions in terms of rare terrestrial and aquatic wildlife, vegetation, surface water, groundwater recharge, real-estate values and socio-environmental vulnerable communities. We identify and quantify ecosystem services and model the potential reduction in effluent discharge to the U.S. that is under scrutiny by binational water policy makers and of concern to stakeholders. Results of service provisioning are presented, and implications for policy makers and resource managers are discussed. This paper presents a robust ecosystem services assessment of multiple scenarios of watershed management as a means to discern eco-hydrological responses and consider their potential values for future generations living in the borderlands.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Water","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"MDPI AG","publisherLocation":"Basel, Switzerland","doi":"10.3390/w5030852","usgsCitation":"Norman, L.M., Villarreal, M., Niraula, R., Meixner, T., Frisvold, G., and Labiosa, W., 2013, Framing scenarios of binational water policy with a tool to visualize, quantify and valuate changes in ecosystem services: Water, v. 5, no. 3, p. 852-874, https://doi.org/10.3390/w5030852.","productDescription":"23 p.","startPage":"852","endPage":"874","numberOfPages":"23","ipdsId":"IP-039107","costCenters":[{"id":657,"text":"Western Geographic Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":473725,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/w5030852","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":282558,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":282557,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.3390/w5030852"}],"country":"Mexico;United States","state":"Arizona;Sonora","county":"Santa Cruz County","geographicExtents":"{ \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\", \"features\": [ { \"type\": \"Feature\", \"properties\": {}, \"geometry\": { \"type\": \"Polygon\", \"coordinates\": [ [ [ -111.6156,30.8551 ], [ -111.6156,32.875 ], [ -109.9786,32.875 ], [ -109.9786,30.8551 ], [ -111.6156,30.8551 ] ] ] } } ] }","volume":"5","issue":"3","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2013-06-28","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"53cd5a44e4b0b290850f93e1","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Norman, Laura M. 0000-0002-3696-8406 lnorman@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3696-8406","contributorId":967,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Norman","given":"Laura","email":"lnorman@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[{"id":657,"text":"Western Geographic Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":490596,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Villarreal, Miguel L.","contributorId":107012,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Villarreal","given":"Miguel L.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":490601,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Niraula, Rewati","contributorId":100714,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Niraula","given":"Rewati","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":7042,"text":"University of Arizona","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":490600,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Meixner, Thomas","contributorId":22653,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Meixner","given":"Thomas","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":7042,"text":"University of Arizona","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":490598,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Frisvold, George","contributorId":9569,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Frisvold","given":"George","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":490597,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Labiosa, William","contributorId":26421,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Labiosa","given":"William","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":490599,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6}]}}

The objective of this review was to compare notes on the historical and current management of ecosystems around the world (especially in wet to dry grasslands in the Americas, Australia, Africa, Europe and Asia) with respect to the usage of fire, grazing and cutting to reduce dominance and support the biodiversity of rare species. This review suggests that former disturbances, which are now often lost, may have once kept tall vegetation from pushing out rarer subdominant species. In cases where prehistoric biodiversity depended on fire or large ungulate grazing, traditional agricultural and indigenous practices may have carried biodiversity forward to historical times by mimicking pre-cultural disturbances (e.g., lightning fire and bison grazing). Ironically, biodiversity related to species richness, landscape heterogeneity and function may decline in preserves, especially if traditional management once maintained this biodiversity. Managers can benefit from a cross-continental comparison of the full arsenal of management techniques used to control encroaching vegetation.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Biological Conservation","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"Elsevier","doi":"10.1016/j.biocon.2012.10.003","usgsCitation":"Middleton, B.A., 2013, Rediscovering traditional vegetation management in preserves: trading experiences between cultures and continents: Biological Conservation, v. 158, p. 271-279, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biocon.2012.10.003.","productDescription":"9 p.","startPage":"271","endPage":"279","ipdsId":"IP-033495","costCenters":[{"id":455,"text":"National Wetlands Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":473753,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biocon.2012.10.003","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":273637,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":273617,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.biocon.2012.10.003"}],"volume":"158","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"51b98a5ee4b07b9df6070f3a","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Middleton, Beth A. 0000-0002-1220-2326 middletonb@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1220-2326","contributorId":2029,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Middleton","given":"Beth","email":"middletonb@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[{"id":17705,"text":"Wetland and Aquatic Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":479641,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1}]}}

These changes to the forest have received considerable attention as they elevate concerns regarding the outcome of wildland fire.   However, attempts to reduce biomass through fuel reduction (i.e., thinning of trees) are often opposed by public interest groups whose objectives include maintaining habitat for species of concern such as the spotted owl, Strix occidentalis, the northern goshawk, Accipiter gentilis, and the Pacific fisher, Martes pennanti. Whether protection of these upper-trophic level species confers adequate conservation of avian forest diversity is unknown. Methodology and Principal Findings:  We use a multi-species occurrence model to estimate the habitat associations of 47 avian species detected at 742 sampling locations within an 880-km<sup>2</sup> area in the Sierra Nevada.  Our approach, which accounts for variations in detectability of species, estimates occurrence probabilities of all species in a community by linking species occurrence models into one hierarchical community model, thus improving inferences on all species, especially those that are rare or observed infrequently.  We address how the avian community is influenced by covariates related to canopy cover, tree size and shrub cover while accounting for the impacts of abiotic variables known to affect species distributions. Conclusions and Significance:  Environmental parameters estimated through our approach emphasize the importance of within and between stand-level heterogeneity in meeting biodiversity objectives and suggests that many avian species would increase under more open canopy habitat conditions than those favored by umbrella species of high conservation concern.  Our results suggest that a more integrated approach that emphasizes maintaining a diversity of habitats across environmental gradients and minimizing urbanization may have a greater benefit to ecosystem functioning then a single-species management focus.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"PLoS ONE","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"Public Library of Science","doi":"10.1371/journal.pone.0063088","usgsCitation":"White, A.M., Zipkin, E., Manley, P.N., and Schlesinger, M.D., 2013, Conservation of avian diversity in the Sierra Nevada: moving beyond a single-species management focus: PLoS ONE, v. 8, no. 5, e63088, https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0063088.","productDescription":"e63088","ipdsId":"IP-043205","costCenters":[{"id":531,"text":"Patuxent Wildlife Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":473775,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0063088","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":273243,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":273240,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0063088"}],"country":"United States","state":"California;Nevada","otherGeospatial":"Sierra Nevada","geographicExtents":"{ \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\", \"features\": [ { \"type\": \"Feature\", \"properties\": {}, \"geometry\": { \"type\": \"Polygon\", \"coordinates\": [ [ [ -121.0,38.0 ], [ -121.0,39.75 ], [ -119.25,39.75 ], [ -119.25,38.0 ], [ -121.0,38.0 ] ] ] } } ] }","volume":"8","issue":"5","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2013-05-07","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"51aefe4ee4b08a3322c2c244","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"White, Angela M.","contributorId":84255,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"White","given":"Angela","email":"","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":479310,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Zipkin, Elise F.","contributorId":70528,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Zipkin","given":"Elise F.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":479308,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Manley, Patricia N.","contributorId":79010,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Manley","given":"Patricia","email":"","middleInitial":"N.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":479309,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Schlesinger, Matthew D.","contributorId":103954,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Schlesinger","given":"Matthew","email":"","middleInitial":"D.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":479311,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4}]}}

Hydropeaking flow regimes for electrical power production inundate areas that create temporary suitable habitat for fish that may be rapidly drained. Robust redhorse <i>Moxostoma robustum</i>, an imperiled, rare fish species, uses such temporary habitats to spawn, but when power generation ceases, these areas are dewatered until the next pulse of water is released. We experimentally simulated the effects of dewatering periods on the survival of robust redhorse eggs and larvae in the laboratory. Robust redhorse eggs were placed in gravel in eyeing-hatching jars (three jars per treatment) and subjected to one of four dewatering periods (6, 12, 24 and 48 h), followed by 12 h of inundation for each treatment, and a control treatment was never dewatered. Egg desiccation was observed in some eggs in the 24- and 48-h treatments after one dewatering period. For all treatments except the control, the subsequent dewatering period after eggs hatched was lethal. Larval emergence for the control treatment was observed on day 5 post-hatching and continued until the end of the experiment (day 21). Larval survival was significantly different between the control and all dewatering treatments for individuals in the gravel. These findings support the need for hydropower facilities to set minimum flows to maintain inundation of spawning areas for robust redhorse and other species to reduce dewatering mortality.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"John Wiley & Sons","publisherLocation":"Chichester, West Sussex, UK","doi":"10.1002/rra.2561","collaboration":"State Wildlife Grant through the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission; Progress Energy, North Carolina State University; North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission; US Fish and Wildlife Service; Wildlife Management Institute","usgsCitation":"Fisk, J.M., Kwak, T.J., Heise, R.J., and Sessions, F.W., 2013, Redd dewatering effects on hatching and larval survival of the robust redhorse: River Research and Applications, v. 29, no. 5, p. 574-581, https://doi.org/10.1002/rra.2561.","productDescription":"8 p.","startPage":"574","endPage":"581","numberOfPages":"8","onlineOnly":"N","additionalOnlineFiles":"N","ipdsId":"IP-031549","costCenters":[{"id":198,"text":"Coop Res Unit Atlanta","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":301370,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"29","issue":"5","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":8,"text":"Raleigh PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2012-01-31","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"55853d56e4b023124e8f5b37","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Fisk, J.

The \nCalifornia Floristic Province is the largest and most important geographic floristic unit in \nCalifornia and extends from the Klamath Mountains of southwestern Oregon to the northwestern \nportion of Baja California (Hickman 1993). The Sierra Nevada, one of six regions that make up \nthe California Floristic Province, covers nearly 20% of the land in California yet contains over \n50% of its flora. Within the Sierra Nevada, the southern Sierra supports more Sierran endemic \nand rare plant taxa than the central and northern portions of the region (Shevock 1996). Sequoia \nand Kings Canyon National Parks (SEKI) encompass roughly 20% of the southern Sierra \nNevada region. The parks overlap three floristic subregions (central Sierra Nevada High, \nsouthern Sierra Nevada High, and southern Sierra Nevada Foothills), and border the Great Basin \nFloristic Province.</p>\n<br>\n<p>The parks support a rich and diverse vascular flora composed of over 1,560 taxa. Of these, 150 \ntaxa are identified as having special status. The term special status is applied here to include \ntaxa that are state or federally listed, rare in California, or at risk because they have a limited \ndistribution. Only one species from these parks is listed under the state or federal Endangered \nSpecies Acts (<i>Carex tompkinsii</i>, Tompkins‘ sedge, is listed as a rare species under the California \nEndangered Species Act), and one species is under review for federal endangered listing (<i>Pinus \nalbicaulis</i>, whitebark pine). However, an absence of threatened and endangered species recognized \nby Endangered Species Acts is not equivalent to an absence of species at risk. There are 83 plant \ntaxa documented as occurring in SEKI that are considered imperiled or vulnerable in the state by the \nCalifornia Department of Fish and Game‘s California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB \n2010a). There are an additional 66 taxa not formally listed by CNDDB that are recognized as \nhaving special status because their distribution is restricted to the Sierra Nevada. Special status \nplants are distributed throughout the two parks and inhabit a wide range of environments along the \nlength of the elevation gradient that characterizes these parks.</p>\n<br>\n<p>Ideally, we would assess the condition (status and trends) of each of the taxa on the SEKI special \nstatus plant list, documenting current population sizes, demographic rates and demographic \ntrends. We would also hope to quantify the effects of individual stressors on each species based \non existing monitoring and research. However, no data are available for most of the species on \nthe special status plant list. For those few species (12 herbaceous species and two tree species) \nfor which we possess some change over time information, the data are not adequate to make a \ncompetent assessment. Note that we have not explored the tree demographic information in any \ndetail, as is covered in the NRCA Intact Forest/Five Needle Pines and Sequoia chapters. In \ngeneral, we are unable to present an ‗integrity‘ metric for special status species in the parks, \nsince the data to quantify the condition of each species in such a manner is not available.</p>\n<br>\n<p>In contrast, the park does possess substantial data describing biodiversity in the parks. Therefore, \nour analysis focuses on describing the distribution and rarity of special status plants within the \nparks, with a particular focus on assessing the spatial distribution of species richness. We hope \nthat such information will prove useful to park managers in determining which areas in the parks \nmerit the most attention (for example in developing monitoring protocols). We also assess \npotential vulnerability of special status species to the stressors chosen by the NRCA working \ngroup, using both park data and available literature.</p>\n<br>\n<p>As a first step, we spent considerable effort updating and refining the criteria for the special \nstatus plant list, as this list defines which taxa are considered in our assessment. Observation data \nof these species was then compiled from all known sources in order to provide a comprehensive \nview of where special status plants have been documented and, ultimately, to enable the most \ninformed determinations of areas in the parks that potentially support the highest number of rare \nand endemic taxa. These ‗hot spot‘ analyses are presented by geographic region, vegetation type \nand elevation.</p>\n<br>\n<p>For these and other analyses presented in this report, we place more focus on summarizing \nfindings for the herbaceous and shrub special status taxa than on special status trees. The trees \nwhich qualify as special status are the focus of other NRCA chapters, including Giant Sequoia \nand Intact Forests/Five-needle Pines. We do, however, present their mapped distributions and \nprovide overviews of research related to the special status tree taxa in the Stressors section of this \nreport.</p>","largerWorkType":{"id":18,"text":"Report"},"largerWorkTitle":"A natural resource condition assessment for Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":1,"text":"Federal Government Series"},"language":"English","publisher":"National Park Service","publisherLocation":"Fort Collins, CO","usgsCitation":"Huber, A., Das, A., Wenk, R., and Haultain, S., 2013, A natural resource condition assessment for Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks: Appendix 14: plants of conservation concern: Natural Resource Report NPS/SEKI/NRR--2013/665.14, ix, 94 p.","productDescription":"ix, 94 p.","numberOfPages":"108","ipdsId":"IP-035065","costCenters":[{"id":651,"text":"Western Ecological Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":294339,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":294338,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://irma.nps.gov/App/Reference/Profile/2195708"}],"country":"United States","state":"California","otherGeospatial":"Kings Canyon National Park;Sequoia National Park","geographicExtents":"{ \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\", \"features\": [ { \"type\": \"Feature\", \"properties\": {}, \"geometry\": { \"type\": \"Polygon\", \"coordinates\": [ [ [ -118.983208,36.118448 ], [ -118.983208,37.237613 ], [ -118.020777,37.237613 ], [ -118.020777,36.118448 ], [ -118.983208,36.118448 ] ] ] } } ] }","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5422bb07e4b08312ac7ceeb7","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Huber, Ann","contributorId":16335,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Huber","given":"Ann","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":501083,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Das, Adrian","contributorId":73935,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Das","given":"Adrian","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":501084,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Wenk, Rebecca","contributorId":95403,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Wenk","given":"Rebecca","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":501085,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Haultain, Sylvia","contributorId":107761,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Haultain","given":"Sylvia","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":501086,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4}]}}

Large fires at low elevations were rare in the 19th and 20th centuries, and fires fueled by native vegetation are undocumented in the southwestern deserts. We estimated the area damaged by fire using Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index, which are more accurate and reduce subjectivity of aerial surveys of perimeters of fires. Assemblages of upland and xeroriparian plants lost 91 and 81% of live cover, respectively, in fires. The trees&nbsp;</span><i><i>Olneya tesota</i></i><span>&nbsp;and&nbsp;</span><i>Cercidium</i><span>&nbsp;had high amounts of top-kill. King Valley was an important xeroriparian corridor for birds. Species richness of birds decreased significantly following the fire. Numbers of breeding birds were lower in burned areas of King Valley 3 years post-fire, compared to numbers in nearby but unburned Alamo Wash. Although birds function within a large geographic scale, the extent of this burn still influenced the relative abundance of local species of breeding birds. This suggests that breeding birds respond to conditions of localized burns and slow recovery of vegetation contributes to continued lower numbers of birds in the burned sites in King Valley.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Southwestern Association of Naturalists","doi":"10.1894/0038-4909-58.2.223","usgsCitation":"Esque, T., Webb, R.H., Wallace, C., van Riper, C., McCreedy, C., and Smythe, L.A., 2013, Desert fires fueled by native annual forbs: effects of fire on communities of plants and birds in the lower Sonoran Desert of Arizona: Southwestern Naturalist, v. 58, no. 2, p. 223-233, https://doi.org/10.1894/0038-4909-58.2.223.","productDescription":"11 p.","startPage":"223","endPage":"233","onlineOnly":"N","additionalOnlineFiles":"N","ipdsId":"IP-013310","costCenters":[{"id":651,"text":"Western Ecological Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":302568,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Arizona","otherGeospatial":"King Valley, Kofa National Wildlife Refuge","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -114.23309326171875,\n              32.909568110575655\n            ],\n            [\n              -114.23309326171875,\n              33.38329288020202\n            ],\n            [\n              -113.61236572265624,\n              33.38329288020202\n            ],\n            [\n              -113.61236572265624,\n              32.909568110575655\n            ],\n            [\n              -114.23309326171875,\n              32.909568110575655\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"58","issue":"2","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":1,"text":"Sacramento PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"558e77b2e4b0b6d21dd65944","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Esque, Todd C. tesque@usgs.gov","contributorId":140024,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Esque","given":"Todd C.","email":"tesque@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":651,"text":"Western Ecological Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":548873,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Webb, Robert H. rhwebb@usgs.gov","contributorId":141216,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Webb","given":"Robert","email":"rhwebb@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"H.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":548872,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Wallace, Cynthia S.A. cwallace@usgs.gov","contributorId":139089,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Wallace","given":"Cynthia S.A.","email":"cwallace@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":657,"text":"Western Geographic Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":548874,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"van Riper, Charles III 0000-0003-1084-5843 charles_van_riper@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1084-5843","contributorId":169488,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"van Riper","given":"Charles","suffix":"III","email":"charles_van_riper@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":568,"text":"Southwest Biological Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":548871,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"McCreedy, Chris","contributorId":141217,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"McCreedy","given":"Chris","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":6624,"text":"University of Arizona, Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":548875,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Smythe, Lindsay A.","contributorId":141218,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Smythe","given":"Lindsay","email":"","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[{"id":6661,"text":"US Fish and Wildlife Service","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":548876,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6}]}}

S/Cl ratios measured by filter pack at andesitic volcanoes have a small range of variance, with no clear trends seen for eruptive versus passive activity. The very few S/Cl ratio measurements by filter pack at andesitic volcanoes are not as predictive of future volcanic activity as has been demonstrated for basaltic volcanoes. This may be because there are so few of these measurements. We have demonstrated it is possible to collect these samples by air between explosions during lava dome-building eruptions. We recommend more filter pack sampling be performed at andesitic volcanoes to determine the technique's utility for volcano monitoring. Filter pack data has been demonstrated to be useful for calculating the depth of magma equilibration at volcanoes including Redoubt Volcano.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Elsevier","doi":"10.1016/j.jvolgeores.2012.04.011","usgsCitation":"Pfeffer, M., Doukas, M.P., Werner, C.A., and Evans, W.C., 2013, Airborne filter pack measurements of S and Cl in the plume of Redoubt Volcano, Alaska February–May 2009: Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research, v. 259, p. 285-289, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jvolgeores.2012.04.011.","productDescription":"5 p.","startPage":"285","endPage":"289","ipdsId":"IP-038641","costCenters":[{"id":617,"text":"Volcano Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":348075,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Alaska","otherGeospatial":"Redoubt Volcano","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -152.95578002929685,\n              60.377896523775306\n            ],\n            [\n              -152.59048461914062,\n              60.377896523775306\n            ],\n            [\n              -152.59048461914062,\n              60.58899055641445\n            ],\n            [\n              -152.95578002929685,\n              60.58899055641445\n            ],\n            [\n              -152.95578002929685,\n              60.377896523775306\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"259","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":14,"text":"Menlo Park PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"59fc2eade4b0531197b27fcb","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Pfeffer, Melissa","contributorId":199349,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Pfeffer","given":"Melissa","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":719478,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Doukas, Michael P. mdoukas@usgs.gov","contributorId":2686,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Doukas","given":"Michael","email":"mdoukas@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"P.","affiliations":[{"id":617,"text":"Volcano Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":719480,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Werner, Cynthia A. cwerner@usgs.gov","contributorId":2540,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Werner","given":"Cynthia","email":"cwerner@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[{"id":617,"text":"Volcano Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":114,"text":"Alaska Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":719479,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Evans, William C. 0000-0001-5942-3102 wcevans@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5942-3102","contributorId":2353,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Evans","given":"William","email":"wcevans@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"C.","affiliations":[{"id":617,"text":"Volcano Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":438,"text":"National Research Program - Western Branch","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":37277,"text":"WMA - Earth System Processes Division","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":719481,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4}]}}

The highest SO</span><sub>2</sub><span><span>&nbsp;</span>emissions were observed during the initial part of the explosive phase and the emissions exhibited an overall decreasing trend with time. OMI SO</span><sub>2</sub><span><span>&nbsp;</span>emission rates were derived using three methods and compared to airborne measurements. This comparison yields a linear correlation (R</span><sup>2</sup><span>&nbsp;</span><span>~</span><span>&nbsp;</span><span>0.82) with OMI-derived emission rates consistently lower than airborne measurements. The comparison results suggest that OMI's detection limit for high latitude, springtime conditions varies from ~</span><span>&nbsp;</span><span>2000 to 4000</span><span>&nbsp;</span><span>t/d. Cumulative SO</span><sub>2</sub><span><span>&nbsp;</span>masses calculated from daily OMI data for the sample period are estimated to range from 542 to 615</span><span>&nbsp;</span><span>kt, with approximately half of this SO</span><sub>2</sub><span><span>&nbsp;</span>produced during the explosive phase of the eruption. These cumulative masses are similar in magnitude to those estimated for the 1989–90 Redoubt eruption. Strong correlations between daily OMI SO</span><sub>2</sub><span><span>&nbsp;</span>mass and both tephra mass and acoustic energy during the explosive phase of the eruption suggest that OMI data may be used to infer relative eruption size and explosivity. Further, when used in conjunction with complementary datasets, OMI daily SO</span><sub>2</sub><span><span>&nbsp;</span>masses may be used to help distinguish explosive from effusive activity and identify changes in lava extrusion rates.

The Giant Gartersnake (Thamnophis gigas) is an example of a secretive, wary, and generally difficult-to-sample species about which little is known regarding its patterns of occurrence and demography. We therefore evaluated modifications to existing traps to increase the detection and capture probabilities of the Giant Gartersnake to improve the precision with which occurrence, abundance, survival, and other demographic parameters are estimated. We found that adding a one-way valve constructed of cable ties to the small funnel opening of traps and adding hardware cloth extensions to the wide end of funnels increased capture rates of the Giant Gartersnake by 5.55 times (95% credible interval = 2.45–10.51) relative to unmodified traps. The effectiveness of these modifications was insensitive to the aquatic habitat type in which they were deployed. The snout-vent length of the smallest and largest captured snakes did not vary among trap modifications. These trap modifications are expected to increase detection and capture probabilities of the Giant Gartersnake, and show promise for increasing the precision with which demographic parameters can be estimated for this species. We anticipate that the trap modifications found effective in this study will be applicable to a variety of aquatic and semi-aquatic reptiles and amphibians and improve conservation efforts for these species.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Herpetological Conservation and Biology","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"Herpetological Conservation and Biology","usgsCitation":"Halstead, B., Wylie, G.D., and Casazza, M.L., 2013, Efficacy of trap modifications for increasing capture rates of aquatic snakes in floating aquatic funnel traps: Herpetological Conservation and Biology, v. 8, no. 1, p. 65-74.","productDescription":"10 p.","startPage":"65","endPage":"74","ipdsId":"IP-042617","costCenters":[{"id":651,"text":"Western Ecological Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":272937,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":272936,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://herpconbio.org/Volume_8/Issue_1/Halstead_etal_2013.pdf"}],"volume":"8","issue":"1","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"51a71564e4b09db86f875c6b","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Halstead, Brian J. 0000-0002-5535-6528 bhalstead@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5535-6528","contributorId":3051,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Halstead","given":"Brian J.","email":"bhalstead@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":651,"text":"Western Ecological Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":200,"text":"Coop Res Unit Seattle","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":479031,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Wylie, Glenn D. 0000-0002-7061-6658 glenn_wylie@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7061-6658","contributorId":3052,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Wylie","given":"Glenn","email":"glenn_wylie@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"D.","affiliations":[{"id":651,"text":"Western Ecological Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":479032,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Casazza, Michael L. 0000-0002-5636-735X mike_casazza@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5636-735X","contributorId":2091,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Casazza","given":"Michael","email":"mike_casazza@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[{"id":651,"text":"Western Ecological Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":479030,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3}]}}

The implicit assumption is that mercury concentrations in blood or feathers of individuals captured in a given area are correlated with mercury concentrations in eggs from the same area. Yet, this assumption is rarely tested. We evaluated mercury concentrations in blood, feathers, and eggs of marsh wrens in wetlands of Great Salt Lake, Utah, and, at two spatial scales, specifically tested the assumption that mercury concentrations in blood and feather samples from birds captured in a defined area were predictive of mercury concentrations in eggs collected in the same area. Mercury concentrations in blood were not correlated with mercury concentrations in eggs collected within the same wetland unit, and were poorly correlated with mercury concentrations in eggs collected at the smaller home range spatial scale of analysis. Moreover, mercury exposure risk, as estimated via tissue concentrations, differed among wetland units depending upon whether blood or egg mercury concentrations were sampled. Mercury concentrations in feathers also were uncorrelated with mercury concentrations in eggs, and were poorly correlated with mercury concentrations in blood. These results demonstrate the potential for contrasting management actions that may be implemented based solely on the specific avian tissue that is sampled, and highlight the importance of developing avian tissues as biomonitoring tools for assessing local risk of mercury exposure to bird reproduction.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Environmental Science and Technology","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"ACS Publications","doi":"10.1021/es400910x","usgsCitation":"Hartman, C., Ackerman, J., Herring, G., Isanhart, J., and Herzog, M., 2013, Marsh wrens as bioindicators of mercury in wetlands of Great Salt Lake: do blood and feathers reflect site-specific exposure risk to bird reproduction?: Environmental Science & Technology, v. 47, no. 12, p. 6597-6605, https://doi.org/10.1021/es400910x.","productDescription":"9 p.","startPage":"6597","endPage":"6605","ipdsId":"IP-037566","costCenters":[{"id":651,"text":"Western Ecological Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":272923,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.1021/es400910x"},{"id":272925,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","geographicExtents":"{ \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\", \"features\": [ { \"type\": \"Feature\", \"properties\": {}, \"geometry\": { \"type\": \"Polygon\", \"coordinates\": [ [ [ -113.1395,40.6046 ], [ -113.1395,41.7094 ], [ -111.8671,41.7094 ], [ -111.8671,40.6046 ], [ -113.1395,40.6046 ] ] ] } } ] }","volume":"47","issue":"12","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2013-05-21","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"51a5c3e5e4b0605bc571ef6a","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Hartman, C.

Remote-sensing technology has become popular in habitat modeling, but most of these models focus on single species, leaving their applicability to understanding broader community structure and function largely untested. We investigated the usefulness of two Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) habitat models to model avian abundance and species richness on the upper San Pedro River in southeastern Arizona. Although NDVI was positively correlated with our bird metrics, the amount of explained variation was low. We then investigated the addition of vegetation metrics and other remote-sensing metrics to improve our models. Although both vegetation metrics and remotely sensed metrics increased the power of our models, the overall explained variation was still low, suggesting that general avian community structure may be too complex for NDVI models.","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","publisherLocation":"Reston, VA","doi":"10.3133/ofr20131100","collaboration":"Prepared in cooperation with the University of Arizona","usgsCitation":"McFarland, T.M., and van Riper, C., 2013, Use of Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) habitat models to predict breeding birds on the San Pedro River, Arizona: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 2013-1100, iii, 42 p., https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20131100.","productDescription":"iii, 42 p.","numberOfPages":"45","onlineOnly":"Y","additionalOnlineFiles":"N","costCenters":[{"id":558,"text":"Sonoran Desert Research Station","active":false,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":272729,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/ofr20131100.jpg"},{"id":272728,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2013/1100/pdf/ofr20131100.pdf"},{"id":272726,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2013/1100/"}],"country":"United States","state":"Arizona","geographicExtents":"{ \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\", \"features\": [ { \"type\": \"Feature\", \"properties\": {}, \"geometry\": { \"type\": \"Polygon\", \"coordinates\": [ [ [ -114.82,31.33 ], [ -114.82,37.0 ], [ -109.0,37.0 ], [ -109.0,31.33 ], [ -114.82,31.33 ] ] ] } } ] }","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"519f2c5ee4b0687ba0506b7e","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"McFarland, Tiffany Marie","contributorId":40879,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"McFarland","given":"Tiffany","email":"","middleInitial":"Marie","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":478839,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"van Riper, Charles III 0000-0003-1084-5843 charles_van_riper@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1084-5843","contributorId":169488,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"van Riper","given":"Charles","suffix":"III","email":"charles_van_riper@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":568,"text":"Southwest Biological Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":478840,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}}

However, the foundational assumption—that drivers of spatial gradients of species composition also drive temporal changes in diversity—rarely is tested. Here, we empirically test the space-for-time assumption by constructing orthogonal datasets of compositional turnover of plant taxa and climatic dissimilarity through time and across space from Late Quaternary pollen records in eastern North America, then modeling climate-driven compositional turnover. Predictions relying on space-for-time substitution were ∼72% as accurate as “time-for-time” predictions. However, space-for-time substitution performed poorly during the Holocene when temporal variation in climate was small relative to spatial variation and required subsampling to match the extent of spatial and temporal climatic gradients. Despite this caution, our results generally support the judicious use of space-for-time substitution in modeling community responses to climate change.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"National Academy of Sciences","publisherLocation":"Washington, D.C.","doi":"10.1073/pnas.1220228110","usgsCitation":"Blois, J.L., Williams, J.W., Fitzpatrick, M.C., Jackson, S.T., and Ferrier, S., 2013, Space can substitute for time in predicting climate-change effects on biodiversity: Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, v. 110, no. 23, p. 9374-9379, https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1220228110.","productDescription":"6 p.","startPage":"9374","endPage":"9379","numberOfPages":"6","ipdsId":"IP-043642","costCenters":[{"id":569,"text":"Southwest Climate Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":473818,"rank":0,"type":{"id":41,"text":"Open Access External Repository Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1220228110","text":"External Repository"},{"id":291810,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":291806,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1220228110"}],"otherGeospatial":"North America","geographicExtents":"{ \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\", \"features\": [ { \"type\": \"Feature\", \"properties\": {}, \"geometry\": { \"type\": \"Polygon\", \"coordinates\": [ [ [ -97.1,24.7 ], [ -97.1,74.2 ], [ -52.3,74.2 ], [ -52.3,24.7 ], [ -97.1,24.7 ] ] ] } } ] }","volume":"110","issue":"23","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2013-05-20","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"53e492cfe4b0fff40428a5f2","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Blois, Jessica L.","contributorId":35245,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Blois","given":"Jessica","email":"","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":497672,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Williams, John W.","contributorId":16761,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Williams","given":"John","email":"","middleInitial":"W.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":497671,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Fitzpatrick, Matthew C.","contributorId":53299,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Fitzpatrick","given":"Matthew","email":"","middleInitial":"C.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":497673,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Jackson, Stephen T. 0000-0002-1487-4652 stjackson@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1487-4652","contributorId":344,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Jackson","given":"Stephen","email":"stjackson@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"T.","affiliations":[{"id":569,"text":"Southwest Climate Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":560,"text":"South Central Climate Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":497669,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Ferrier, Simon","contributorId":13154,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Ferrier","given":"Simon","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":497670,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5}]}}

To elucidate potential genetic differences between the two populations, three segments of nuclear ribosomal DNA (rDNA), the ITS1-ITS2 regions and the 18S and 28S rDNA genes were cloned and sequenced. Variant sequences within each individual were found in all three rDNA segments. Folding models were utilized for secondary structure analysis and results indicated that there were many sequences which contained structure-altering polymorphisms, which suggests they could be nonfunctional pseudogenes. In addition, analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) was used for hierarchical analysis of genetic variance to estimate variation within and among populations and within individuals. AMOVA revealed significant variation in the ITS region between the populations and among clones within individuals, while in the 5.8S rDNA significant variation was revealed among individuals within the two populations. High levels of intragenomic variation were found in the ITS regions, which are known to be highly variable in many organisms.

We postulate that in these <i>P. antipodarum</i> populations the effects of concerted evolution are diminished due to the fact that not all of the rDNA genes in their polyploid genome should be essential for sustaining cellular function.

Fish began his research working alone in the basement of the recently opened Fisheries Biological Laboratory on Lake Union in Seattle, Washington. WFRC’s research began under the aegis of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and ends its first 75 years as part of the U.S. Geological Survey with a staff of more than 150 biologists and support personnel and a heritage of fundamental research that has made important contributions to our understanding of the biology and ecology of the economically important fish and fish populations of the Nation.  Although the current staff may rarely stop to think about it, WFRC’s antecedents extend many years into the past and are intimately involved with the history of fisheries conservation in the Western United States. Thus, WFRC Director Lyman Thorsteinson asked me to write the story of this laboratory “while there are still a few of you around who were here for some of the earlier years” to document the rich history and culture of WFRC by recognizing its many famous scientists and their achievements. This historyalso would help document WFRC’s research ‘footprint’ in the Western United States and its strategic directions. Center Director Thorsteinson concluded that WFRC’s heritage told by an emeritus scientist also would add a texture of legitimacy based on personal knowledge that will all-to-soon be lost to the WFRC and to the USGS. The WFRC story is important for the future as well as for historical reasons. It describes how we got to the place we are today by documenting the origin, original mission, and our evolving role in response to the constantly changing technical information requirements of new environmental legislation and organizational decision-making.  The WFRC research program owes its existence to the policy requirements of Federal conservation legislation originating with the construction of Grand Coulee Dam in 1933. The research program was shaped by laws enacted in subsequent years such as the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (1972), National Environmental Policy Act (1973), Endangered Species Act (1974), and Northwest Power Planning Act (1980), to name only a few. The WFRC has not been constrained by direct management or regulatory responsibility for a particular fishery (such as providing sustainable catch limits data to a resource management structure). Thus, WFRC has been able to concentrate on scientific pursuits and information needs required by contemporary environmental legislation. Over the years, we have pioneered in several important areas of fisheries research including the diagnoses and control of diseases in economically important fish, effects of environmental alterations on the physiological quality and survival of Pacific salmon released from federal mitigation hatcheries, applications in biotelemetry, and the bioenergetics of predator-prey interactions in the Columbia River.  The WFRC of today is a widely distributed organization in the Western United States. Knowledge of the historical connections and accomplishments of our predecessors is important beyond the sense of pride and unity it instills in the WFRC family of today. For example, a discerning reader will note the evolution of WFRC’s research from a single disciplinary focus (early era—hatchery disease problems), to multiple disciplines (middle to late era—species, populations, habitats; threatened and endangered species), to the present era (multidisciplinary and with increasing process focus). For the benefit of the current WFRC staff, more emphasis has been placed on the early years rather than on the present day because people are quite naturally more familiar with the recent past than with the research done during the first decades of WFRC’s existence.  By every rational measure, the WFRC has evolved into a fisheries research organization well positioned to provide the biological information needed to support the continued conservation and management of our Nation’s living aquatic natural resources. The high standard of excellence that connects WFRC’s past to our present research program provides a firm foundation on which to base the work yet to be done.  In another 75 years, WFRC will undoubtedly be a very different place than it is today, but its evolution will be forever rooted in the story of the research and of the people related here.

Aquatic habitats and biotic assemblages in subalpine headwaters are sensitive to climate and human impacts. Understanding biotic responses to such perturbations and the contribution of high-elevation headwaters to riverine biodiversity requires the assessment of assemblage composition among habitat types. We compared aquatic insect assemblages among headwater stream segment types in relict glaciated subalpine basins in Mt. Rainier National Park, Washington, USA. 2. Aquatic insects were collected during summer and autumn in three headwater basins. In each basin, three different stream segment types were sampled: colluvial groundwater sources, alluvial lake inlets, and cascade-bedrock lake outlets. Ward's hierarchical cluster analysis revealed high &beta; diversity in aquatic insect assemblages, and non-metric multidimensional scaling indicated that spatial and temporal patterns in assemblage composition differed among headwater stream segment types. Aquatic insect assemblages showed more fidelity to stream segment types than to individual basins, and the principal environmental variables associated with assemblage structure were temperature and substrate. 3. Indicator species analyses identified specific aquatic insects associated with each stream segment type. Several rare and potentially endemic aquatic insect taxa were present, including the recently described species, Lednia borealis (Baumann and Kondratieff). 4. Our results indicate that aquatic insect assemblages in relict glaciated subalpine headwaters were strongly differentiated among stream segment types. These results illustrate the contribution of headwaters to riverine biodiversity and emphasise the importance of these habitats for monitoring biotic responses to climate change. Monitoring biotic assemblages in high-elevation headwaters is needed to prevent the potential loss of unique and sensitive biota.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Insect Conservation and Diversity","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"The Royal Entomological Society","publisherLocation":"St Albans, U.K.","doi":"10.1111/j.1752-4598.2012.00210.x","usgsCitation":"Kubo, J.S., Torgersen, C., Bolton, S.M., Weekes, A.A., and Gara, R.I., 2013, Aquatic insect assemblages associated with subalpine stream segment types in relict glaciated headwaters: Insect Conservation and Diversity, v. 6, no. 3, p. 422-434, https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1752-4598.2012.00210.x.","productDescription":"13 p.","startPage":"422","endPage":"434","costCenters":[{"id":290,"text":"Forest and Rangeland Ecosystem Science Center","active":false,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":259092,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":257840,"rank":9999,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.1111/j.1752-4598.2012.00210.x","linkFileType":{"id":5,"text":"html"}}],"country":"United States","state":"Washington","otherGeospatial":"Mt.

Recently, interest in species distribution modelling has increased following the development of new methods for the analysis of presence-only data and the deployment of these methods in user-friendly and powerful computer programs. However, reliable inference from these powerful tools requires that several assumptions be met, including the assumptions that observed presences are the consequence of random or representative sampling and that detectability during sampling does not vary with the covariates that determine occurrence probability.\n2. Based on our interactions with researchers using these tools, we hypothesized that many presence-only studies were ignoring important assumptions of presence-only modelling. We tested this hypothesis by reviewing 108 articles published between 2008 and 2012 that used the MAXENT algorithm to analyse empirical (i.e. not simulated) data. We chose to focus on these articles because MAXENT has been the most popular algorithm in recent years for analysing presence-only data.\n3. Many articles (87%) were based on data that were likely to suffer from sample selection bias; however, methods to control for sample selection bias were rarely used. In addition, many analyses (36%) discarded absence information by analysing presence–absence data in a presence-only framework, and few articles (14%) mentioned detection probability. We conclude that there are many misconceptions concerning the use of presence-only models, including the misunderstanding that MAXENT, and other presence-only methods, relieve users from the constraints of survey design.\n4. In the process of our literature review, we became aware of other factors that raised concerns about the validity of study conclusions. In particular, we observed that 83% of articles studies focused exclusively on model output (i.e. maps) without providing readers with any means to critically examine modelled relationships and that MAXENT's logistic output was frequently (54% of articles) and incorrectly interpreted as occurrence probability.\n5. We conclude with a series of recommendations foremost that researchers analyse data in a presence–absence framework whenever possible, because fewer assumptions are required and inferences can be made about clearly defined parameters such as occurrence probability.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Methods in Ecology and Evolution","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"Wiley","doi":"10.1111/2041-210x.12004","usgsCitation":"Yackulic, C.B., Chandler, R., Zipkin, E., Royle, J., Nichols, J., Grant, E., and Veran, S., 2013, Presence-only modeling using MAXENT: when can we trust the inferences?: Methods in Ecology and Evolution, v. 4, no. 3, p. 236-243, https://doi.org/10.1111/2041-210x.12004.","productDescription":"8 p.","startPage":"236","endPage":"243","ipdsId":"IP-041882","costCenters":[{"id":531,"text":"Patuxent Wildlife Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":473843,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1111/2041-210x.12004","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":271731,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":271730,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.1111/2041-210x.12004"}],"volume":"4","issue":"3","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2012-11-21","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"51837cebe4b0a21483941a61","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Yackulic, Charles B. 0000-0001-9661-0724 cyackulic@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9661-0724","contributorId":4662,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Yackulic","given":"Charles","email":"cyackulic@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"B.","affiliations":[{"id":568,"text":"Southwest Biological Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":478192,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Chandler, Richard rchandler@usgs.gov","contributorId":2511,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Chandler","given":"Richard","email":"rchandler@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":13266,"text":"Warnell School of Forestry and Natural Resources, The University of Georgia","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":478190,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Zipkin, Elise F.","contributorId":70528,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Zipkin","given":"Elise F.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":478193,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Royle, J.

Often, they rely on population models to monitor population trends. As imperfect representations of real-world populations, models must be rigorously evaluated to be applied appropriately. Previous research has evaluated population models for white-tailed deer (</span><i>Odocoileus virginianus</i><span>); however, the precision and reliability of these models when tested against empirical measures of variability and bias largely is untested. We were able to statistically evaluate the Pennsylvania sex-age-kill (PASAK) population model using realistic error measured using data from 1,131 radiocollared white-tailed deer in Pennsylvania from 2002 to 2008. We used these data and harvest data (number killed, age-sex structure, etc.) to estimate precision of abundance estimates, identify the most efficient harvest data collection with respect to precision of parameter estimates, and evaluate PASAK model robustness to violation of assumptions. Median coefficient of variation (CV) estimates by Wildlife Management Unit, 13.2% in the most recent year, were slightly above benchmarks recommended for managing game species populations. Doubling reporting rates by hunters or doubling the number of deer checked by personnel in the field reduced median CVs to recommended levels. The PASAK model was robust to errors in estimates for adult male harvest rates but was sensitive to errors in subadult male harvest rates, especially in populations with lower harvest rates. In particular, an error in subadult (1.5-yr-old) male harvest rates resulted in the opposite error in subadult male, adult female, and juvenile population estimates. Also, evidence of a greater harvest probability for subadult female deer when compared with adult (&ge;2.5-yr-old) female deer resulted in a 9.5% underestimate of the population using the PASAK model. Because obtaining appropriate sample sizes, by management unit, to estimate harvest rate parameters each year may be too expensive, assumptions of constant annual harvest rates may be necessary. However, if changes in harvest regulations or hunter behavior influence subadult male harvest rates, the PASAK model could provide an unreliable index to population changes.&nbsp;</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"The Wildlife Society","doi":"10.1002/jwmg.486","usgsCitation":"Norton, A.S., Diefenbach, D.R., Rosenberry, C.S., and Wallingford, B.D., 2013, Incorporating harvest rates into the sex-age-kill model for white-tailed deer: Journal of Wildlife Management, v. 77, no. 3, p. 606-615, https://doi.org/10.1002/jwmg.486.","productDescription":"10 p.","startPage":"606","endPage":"615","onlineOnly":"N","additionalOnlineFiles":"N","ipdsId":"IP-031059","costCenters":[{"id":199,"text":"Coop Res Unit Leetown","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":323328,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"77","issue":"3","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":9,"text":"Reston PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2012-12-11","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"575941ffe4b04f417c2568a4","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Norton, Andrew S.","contributorId":171631,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Norton","given":"Andrew","email":"","middleInitial":"S.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":638133,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Diefenbach, Duane R. 0000-0001-5111-1147 drd11@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5111-1147","contributorId":5235,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Diefenbach","given":"Duane","email":"drd11@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"R.","affiliations":[{"id":199,"text":"Coop Res Unit Leetown","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":638068,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Rosenberry, Christopher S.","contributorId":171633,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Rosenberry","given":"Christopher","email":"","middleInitial":"S.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":638134,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Wallingford, Bret D.","contributorId":171632,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Wallingford","given":"Bret","email":"","middleInitial":"D.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":638135,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4}]}}

The REEs may or may not represent a significant component of that product by mass, value, or volume; however, in many cases, the embedded REEs are critical for the device’s function. Domestic sources of primary supply and the manufacturing facilities to produce products are inadequate to meet U.S. requirements; therefore, a significant percentage of the supply of REEs and the products that contain them are imported to the United States. In 2011, mines in China produced roughly 97 percent of the world’s supply of REEs, and the country’s production of these elements will likely dominate global supply until at least 2020. Preliminary estimates of the types and amount of rare-earth elements, reported as oxides, in semimanufactured form and the amounts used for electric vehicle batteries, catalytic converters, computers, and other applications were developed to provide a perspective on the Nation’s use of these elements. The amount of rare-earth metals recovered from recycling, remanufacturing, and reuse is negligible when the tonnage of products that contain REEs deposited in landfills and retained in storage is considered. Under favorable market conditions, the recovery of REEs from obsolete products could potentially displace a portion of the supply from primary sources.","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","publisherLocation":"Reston, VA","doi":"10.3133/ofr20131072","usgsCitation":"Bleiwas, D.I., and Gambogi, J., 2013, Preliminary estimates of the quantities of rare-earth elements contained in selected products and in imports of semimanufactured products to the United States, 2010: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 2013-1072, iv, 14 p., https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20131072.","productDescription":"iv, 14 p.","numberOfPages":"18","onlineOnly":"Y","additionalOnlineFiles":"N","temporalStart":"2010-01-01","temporalEnd":"2010-12-31","costCenters":[{"id":432,"text":"National Minerals Information Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":270656,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/ofr20131072.gif"},{"id":270654,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2013/1072/"},{"id":270655,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2013/1072/OFR2013-1072.pdf"}],"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5163d8dbe4b0b7010f82013d","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Bleiwas, Donald I. bleiwas@usgs.gov","contributorId":1434,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Bleiwas","given":"Donald","email":"bleiwas@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"I.","affiliations":[{"id":432,"text":"National Minerals Information Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":477187,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Gambogi, Joseph 0000-0002-5719-2280 jgambogi@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5719-2280","contributorId":4424,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Gambogi","given":"Joseph","email":"jgambogi@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":432,"text":"National Minerals Information Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":477188,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}}
