In southern Kansas, the rate of earthquakes rose rapidly starting in 2013 following expansion of energy production into the area, demanding the disposal of large volumes of wastewater into deep wells. Seismicity catalogs that are complete to low magnitudes can provide insights into the physical processes that induce seismicity near wastewater disposal. We develop a catalog of over 130,000 earthquakes recorded in southern Kansas from mid‐March 2014 through December 2017 by applying a matched filter algorithm to an original catalog of 5,831 template earthquakes. Detections have nearly identical waveforms to their associated template event and represent slip on nearly co‐located sections of a fault. We select template events with at least 100 associated detections and examine the characteristics of these prolific families of earthquakes. We find that families located close (&lt;10&nbsp;km) to areas with significant volumes of injected fluids have near‐Poissonian interevent times and the families remain active over longer durations. Families farther from high‐volume injection wells show strong clustering of interevent times and shorter sequence durations. We conclude that increasing pore fluid pressures from nearby disposal of large volumes of wastewater is the primary driver of these long duration episodes, with earthquake‐earthquake interactions driving sequences at greater distance from the wells.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"American Geophysical Union","doi":"10.1029/2018JB016270","usgsCitation":"Cochran, E.S., Ross, Z.E., Harrington, R.M., Dougherty, S.L., and Rubinstein, J.L., 2018, Induced earthquake families reveal distinctive evolutionary patterns near disposal wells: Journal of Geophysical Research B: Solid Earth, v. 123, no. 9, p. 8045-8055, https://doi.org/10.1029/2018JB016270.","productDescription":"11 p.","startPage":"8045","endPage":"8055","ipdsId":"IP-098260","costCenters":[{"id":237,"text":"Earthquake Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":468452,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1029/2018jb016270","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":358973,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Kansas","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -98.1,\n              36.9\n            ],\n            [\n              -97.4,\n              36.9\n            ],\n            [\n              -97.4,\n              37.3\n            ],\n            [\n              -98.1,\n              37.3\n            ],\n            [\n              -98.1,\n              36.9\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"123","issue":"9","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":14,"text":"Menlo Park PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2018-09-28","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5c10a952e4b034bf6a7e5145","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Cochran, Elizabeth S. 0000-0003-2485-4484 ecochran@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2485-4484","contributorId":2025,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Cochran","given":"Elizabeth","email":"ecochran@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"S.","affiliations":[{"id":237,"text":"Earthquake Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":750131,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Ross, Zachary E.","contributorId":196001,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Ross","given":"Zachary","email":"","middleInitial":"E.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":750132,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Harrington, Rebecca M.","contributorId":146633,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Harrington","given":"Rebecca","email":"","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[{"id":16736,"text":"Dept. of Earth and Planetary Sci,.McGill Univ., Montreal, Quebec","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":750133,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Dougherty, Sara L. 0000-0002-5327-3286 sdougherty@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5327-3286","contributorId":191210,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Dougherty","given":"Sara","email":"sdougherty@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[{"id":237,"text":"Earthquake Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":750134,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Rubinstein, Justin L. 0000-0003-1274-6785","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1274-6785","contributorId":206551,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Rubinstein","given":"Justin","email":"","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[{"id":237,"text":"Earthquake Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":750135,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5}]}}

Paired&nbsp;</span><i>t</i><span>-tests indicated that there were statistically significant differences between the tissue sources in some instances, but the difference (0.04–0.21‰) was less than the analytical precision of the mass spectrometer (circa 0.2–0.3‰). We conclude that the isotopic values from these two tissue sources are biologically comparable and recommend that researchers use the tissue source and extraction technique that minimizes stress to the mussels. We also tested for significant differences between species within a site for either isotope or tissue type and found no statistically significant difference between species with the exception of carbon in foot tissue at two sites. The highly correlated isotopic response supports the interchangeable use of both tissue compartments and both species. These findings support comparisons between studies whether the results were based on either of these tissues or the two species studied. Comparability will also simplify sampling designs, save time, and save money for processing samples without diminishing the usefulness of the data.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Freshwater Mollusk Conservation Society","usgsCitation":"LaFrancois, T., Fritts, A.K., Knights, B.C., and Karns, B., 2018, Stable isotope comparison between mantle and foot tissues of two freshwater unionids: Implications for food web studies: Freshwater Mollusk Biology and Conservation, v. 21, no. 2, p. 28-35.","productDescription":"8 p.","startPage":"28","endPage":"35","ipdsId":"IP-095415","costCenters":[{"id":606,"text":"Upper Midwest Environmental Sciences Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":359462,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":359461,"rank":1,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://molluskconservation.org/FMBC-journal.html"}],"country":"United States","state":"Minnesota, Wisconsin","otherGeospatial":"St. Croix River","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -93.12286376953124,\n              44.72917434046452\n            ],\n            [\n              -92.51312255859375,\n              44.72917434046452\n            ],\n            [\n              -92.51312255859375,\n              45.96260622242165\n            ],\n            [\n              -93.12286376953124,\n              45.96260622242165\n            ],\n            [\n              -93.12286376953124,\n              44.72917434046452\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"21","issue":"2","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":15,"text":"Madison PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5bee93e5e4b08f163c24a1bd","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"LaFrancois, Toben","contributorId":173075,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"LaFrancois","given":"Toben","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":751320,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Fritts, Andrea K. 0000-0003-2142-3339","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2142-3339","contributorId":204594,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Fritts","given":"Andrea","email":"","middleInitial":"K.","affiliations":[{"id":606,"text":"Upper Midwest Environmental Sciences Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":751319,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Knights, Brent C. 0000-0001-8526-8468 bknights@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8526-8468","contributorId":2906,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Knights","given":"Brent","email":"bknights@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"C.","affiliations":[{"id":606,"text":"Upper Midwest Environmental Sciences Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":751321,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Karns, Byron","contributorId":192390,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Karns","given":"Byron","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":751322,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4}]}}

Between 1950 and 2009, upland and wetland (i.e., terrestrial) ecosystems of the state gained 0.4&nbsp;Tg&nbsp;C/yr (0.1% of net primary production, NPP), resulting in a cumulative greenhouse gas radiative forcing of 1.68&nbsp;×&nbsp;10</span><sup>−3</sup><span>&nbsp;W/m</span><sup>2</sup><span>. The change in carbon storage is spatially variable with the region of the Northwest Boreal Landscape Conservation Cooperative (LCC) losing carbon because of fire disturbance. The combined carbon transport via various pathways through inland aquatic ecosystems of Alaska was estimated to be 41.3&nbsp;Tg&nbsp;C/yr (17% of terrestrial NPP). During the projection period (2010–2099), carbon storage of terrestrial ecosystems of Alaska was projected to increase (22.5–70.0&nbsp;Tg&nbsp;C/yr), primarily because of NPP increases of 10–30% associated with responses to rising atmospheric CO</span><sub>2</sub><span>, increased nitrogen cycling, and longer growing seasons. Although carbon emissions to the atmosphere from wildfire and wetland CH</span><sub>4</sub><span>&nbsp;were projected to increase for all of the climate projections, the increases in NPP more than compensated for those losses at the statewide level. Carbon dynamics of terrestrial ecosystems continue to warm the climate for four of the six future projections and cool the climate for only one of the projections. The attribution analyses we conducted indicated that the response of NPP in terrestrial ecosystems to rising atmospheric CO</span><sub>2</sub><span>(~5% per 100 ppmv CO</span><sub>2</sub><span>) saturates as CO</span><sub>2</sub><span>&nbsp;increases (between approximately +150 and +450 ppmv among projections). This response, along with the expectation that permafrost thaw would be much greater and release large quantities of permafrost carbon after 2100, suggests that projected carbon gains in terrestrial ecosystems of Alaska may not be sustained. From a national perspective, inclusion of all of Alaska in greenhouse gas inventory reports would ensure better accounting of the overall greenhouse gas balance of the nation and provide a foundation for considering mitigation activities in areas that are accessible enough to support substantive deployment.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Ecological Society of

This relationship was supported by our GPS tracking results, which revealed longer, more offshore foraging trips among highly ornamented males. Our data show that brown booby ornaments are honest indicators of foraging propensity; a link consistent with the rarity hypothesis and potentially driven by the concentration of carotenoids found in phytoplankton versus benthic algae.

Brook Floater have dramatically contracted in distribution over recent decades, and there is limited evidence of recruitment in most locations, despite minimal effort to document population status (Wicklow et al., 2017). Brook Floater is listed as a Species of Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN) throughout its range in the United States (state-listed as imperiled or critically imperiled in all 15 states), has been extirpated from two states (Rhode Island and Delaware) and was recently petitioned for Federal listing in 2011 (Wicklow et al. 2017). Currently, there is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife (USFWS) Species Status Assessment underway to determine if federal listing under the Endangered Species Act is warranted. Brook Floater is also listed as a species of special concern in Canada, the northern extent of its range. In 2016, a state wildlife grant was awarded to develop range-wide conservation initiatives and strategies, including the development of rapid assessment and long-term monitoring techniques, in addition to developing conservation strategies to improve its probability of persistence in the future. The purpose of this protocol is to describe and facilitate a rapid approach to estimating Brook Floater occupancy to better understand the factors that influence Brook Floater distribution. Occupancy estimation approaches allow for estimation of species occupancy (; percent area occupied) within some scale of interest (for our purposes, the watershed), while simultaneously estimating species detection probability (p; the probability of finding an organism, if present). Occupancy estimation has been used with many wildlife taxa and is essential for understanding the presence or absence of wildlife in a particular area while accounting for imperfect detection (i.e., p&lt;1; MacKenzie et al. 2004, Shea et al. 2013, Wisniewski et al. 2013, Pandolfo et al. 2016, MacKenzie 2016). This approach does not rely on existing information about species presence or absence to select sites. Occupancy estimation operates on a robust probabilistic framework of randomly selected sites to infer what proportion of sites are occupied. Occupancy estimation also incorporates imperfect detection (p &lt;1; i.e., animals are cryptic and elusive; observers have varying experience searching, etc.; MacKenzie et al. 2003). For example, two mussel species that occupy a site might have two very different detection histories, as determined by revisiting a site and using the same methods on repeated visits to find both species. See hypothetical results here: Visits 1 2 3 4 5 Mussel species A 1 1 1 0 1 Mussel species B 0 0 0 1 0 (1 = detected, 0=not detected) Both of these mussel species occupy this site, yet Mussel A was detected in 4 out of 5 visits (high p) and Mussel B was detected in 1 out of 5 visits (low p) with the methods used to survey this site. Covariates may explain differences in detection between species or visits. Organisms may be: 1) present and not observed, 2) present and unavailable for capture (i.e., buried in sediment), or 3) not present at the site. Occupancy estimation uses repeated visits of randomly selected sites to build species detection histories (i.e., 1, 0, 1) to simultaneously estimate occupancy () and p. Typically, repeated visits are discrete sampling events and are more time consuming because each site requires &gt;3 separate visits. In our rapid assessment protocol, we use multiple independent observers searching longitudinal lanes to estimate detection in a single site visit as opposed to multiple discrete visits. Below are hypothetical results of occupancy by observer: Independent Observers 1 2 3 4 5 Mussel species A 1 1 0 1 1 Mussel species B 1 0 0 1 0 (1 = detected, 0=not detected) Objectives: The objectives of this rapid assessment survey approach are to guide collection of data that can be used to: A.

Although morphologically and genetically distinct from other populations of Smallmouth Bass&nbsp;</span><i>M. dolomieu</i><span>, the conservation‐genetic status of Neosho Smallmouth Bass is largely unknown. To assist in filling this data gap, we quantified introgressive hybridization, genetic diversity, and population structure of Neosho Smallmouth Bass in two major river basins (Grand River and Illinois River) using seven polymorphic microsatellite markers. Introgressive hybridization with stocked Tennessee lake‐strain Smallmouth Bass was most prevalent in the Illinois River, wherein the overall genomic proportion of Neosho Smallmouth Bass alleles was only 0.422. After accounting for hybrid individuals, genetic diversity of Neosho Smallmouth Bass was generally higher in larger rivers and lower in smaller, isolated streams. Three distinct population clusters were identified at the uppermost level of genetic structure—one from the Illinois River basin and two from the Grand River basin. These three population boundaries accounted for approximately 7% of the hierarchical genetic variation within our data set, and substructure below the uppermost level accounted for an additional 2% of genetic variation. The population structure we discovered can provide a blueprint for management that conserves diversity within and among populations; for example, population boundaries can be used to determine brood source locations for supplemental stocking efforts to counter nonnative introgression. Introgressive hybridization with nonnative Smallmouth Bass appears to be the most pertinent threat to the Neosho Smallmouth Bass subspecies, which is of conservation value to the overall adaptability of Smallmouth Bass as a species.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"American Fisheries Society","doi":"10.1002/nafm.10225","usgsCitation":"Taylor, A., Long, J.M., Schwemm, M.R., and Brewer, S.K., 2018, Hybridization and genetic structure of Neosho Smallmouth Bass in the Ozark Highlands: North American Journal of Fisheries Management, v. 38, no. 6, p. 1226-1240, https://doi.org/10.1002/nafm.10225.","productDescription":"15 p.","startPage":"1226","endPage":"1240","ipdsId":"IP-095421","costCenters":[{"id":198,"text":"Coop Res Unit Atlanta","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":380302,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Missouri, Oklahoma","otherGeospatial":"Ozark Highlands","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -94.5758056640625,\n              36.52067329034796\n            ],\n            [\n              -94.2352294921875,\n              36.53612263184686\n            ],\n            [\n              -94.2132568359375,\n              36.83127162140714\n            ],\n            [\n              -94.21051025390625,\n              36.97183825093165\n            ],\n            [\n              -95.15808105468749,\n              36.958671131530316\n            ],\n            [\n              -95.26519775390625,\n              36.25313319699069\n            ],\n            [\n              -95.3558349609375,\n              36.17113976708937\n            ],\n            [\n              -94.66094970703125,\n              36.184441834883\n            ],\n            [\n              -94.7076416015625,\n              36.485348924361425\n            ],\n            [\n              -94.5758056640625,\n              36.52067329034796\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"38","issue":"6","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2018-09-01","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Taylor, A.

In some circumstances, however, an index of abundance provides insufficient information for making management decisions and accurate density estimates are necessary. Wild ring-necked pheasants (</span><i>Phasianus colchicus</i><span>) were translocated to 10 study areas in Pennsylvania from 2007 to 2014 with the goal of establishing female densities of 3.86 pheasants/km</span><sup>2</sup><span>. We developed a population density estimator that used 3-minute crowing counts adjusted for probability of detection to estimate male pheasant density and flushing surveys to estimate the female:male ratio. To account for detection probability, we estimated the probability a pheasant was available to be detected by monitoring crowing frequency of male pheasants fitted with radio-transmitters and the probability an observer was able to detect a crowing pheasant at distances from 0 to 0.93 km. We found the probability a pheasant crowed during 3 minutes decreased linearly over our survey period from 0.66 in mid-April to 0.46 by the end of May. At the farthest distance we were able to accurately detect a crowing pheasant. We estimated the probability of detecting a pheasant at 0.80 km to be 0.019 ± 0.005 (SE), which means that we could not assume any fixed distance beyond which crowing birds could not be detected. Therefore, we replaced the probability of detection in the standard distance sampling estimator with the effective area of detection. The estimation of the effective area of detection is robust to choice of radius of the point and did not require observers to estimate the distance to crowing pheasants. We estimated the female:male ratio to be 1.02:1, despite the ratio of released pheasants being 4.46:1.

Additional high‐quality paleointensity results can be used to evaluate the existing Hawaiian data set and investigate Holocene geomagnetic field behavior. New paleointensity sites from 22 lava flows were calculated using the IZZI‐Thellier laboratory technique and a strict set of selection criteria.

Isotopic age determinations range from 270 to &gt;10, 000 years before present (nine new&nbsp;</span><sup>14</sup><span>C ages are also presented as part of this study). The median intensity for the 22 flows is 47.5&nbsp;</span><i>μ</i><span>T, with a median absolute deviation uncertainty of 5.6&nbsp;</span><i>μ</i><span>T; substantially greater than the present‐day field strength at Hawai `i (~36&nbsp;</span><i>μ</i><span>T). These new results are comparable to previously published data from this location and are consistent with global paleointensity models. There is no evidence of an intensity “spike” at 3,000 years before present, as seen in the Levant and elsewhere. Previously published data vary in intensity by experimental technique relative to data using glassy material and strict selection criteria. Non‐Thellier‐type data are biased low, a result of these techniques estimating intensity from possibly nonsingle domain magnetic carriers. Thellier‐Thellier data are biased high, the reasons for which remain unclear as no cooling rate effect was demonstrated, and we were unable to reproduce the high bias with different selection criteria.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"AGU","doi":"10.1002/2017GC006927","usgsCitation":"Cromwell, G., Trusdell, F., Tauxe, L., Staudigel, H., and Ron, H., 2018, Holocene paleointensity of the Island of Hawai'i from glassy volcanics: Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, v. 19, no. 9, p. 3224-3245, https://doi.org/10.1002/2017GC006927.","productDescription":"22 p.","startPage":"3224","endPage":"3245","ipdsId":"IP-084186","costCenters":[{"id":154,"text":"California Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":468457,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/2017gc006927","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":361241,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Hawai`i","otherGeospatial":"Island of Hawai`i","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -156.1651611328125,\n              18.80751806940863\n            ],\n            [\n              -154.72320556640625,\n              18.80751806940863\n            ],\n            [\n              -154.72320556640625,\n              20.347202168291595\n            ],\n            [\n              -156.1651611328125,\n              20.347202168291595\n            ],\n            [\n              -156.1651611328125,\n              18.80751806940863\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"19","issue":"9","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":1,"text":"Sacramento PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2018-09-15","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Cromwell, Geoffrey 0000-0001-8481-405X gcromwell@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8481-405X","contributorId":5920,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Cromwell","given":"Geoffrey","email":"gcromwell@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":128,"text":"Arizona Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":154,"text":"California Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":757141,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Trusdell, Frank A. 0000-0002-0681-0528 trusdell@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0681-0528","contributorId":754,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Trusdell","given":"Frank A.","email":"trusdell@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":617,"text":"Volcano Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":757142,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Tauxe, Lisa","contributorId":210311,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Tauxe","given":"Lisa","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":16196,"text":"Scripps Institution of Oceanography, La Jolla, CA","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":757143,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Staudigel, Hubert","contributorId":213217,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Staudigel","given":"Hubert","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":38724,"text":"Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of California San Diego","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":757144,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Ron, Hagai","contributorId":206484,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Ron","given":"Hagai","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":757145,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5}]}}

These giant constrictor snakes have caused a precipitous decline in small mammal populations in southern Florida following escapes or releases from the commercial pet trade. To better understand the invasion pathway and genetic composition of the population, two mitochondrial (mtDNA) loci across 1,398 base pairs were sequenced on 426 snakes and 22 microsatellites were assessed on 389 snakes. Concatenated mtDNA sequences produced six haplotypes with an average nucleotide and haplotype diversity of&nbsp;</span><i>π</i><span>&nbsp;=&nbsp;0.002 and&nbsp;</span><i>h&nbsp;</i><span>=</span><i>&nbsp;</i><span>0.097, respectively.

The effective population size (</span><i>N</i><sub>E</sub><span>&nbsp;=&nbsp;315.1) was lower than expected for a population this large, but reflected the low genetic diversity overall. The patterns of genetic diversity between mtDNA and microsatellites were disparate, indicating nuclear introgression of separate mtDNA lineages corresponding to cytonuclear discordance. The introgression likely occurred prior to the invasion, but genetic information on the native range and commercial trade is needed for verification. Our finding that the Florida python population is comprised of distinct lineages suggests greater standing variation for adaptation and the potential for broader areas of suitable habitat in the invaded range.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Wiley","doi":"10.1002/ece3.4423","usgsCitation":"Hunter, M., Johnson, N.A., Smith, B.J., Davis, M.C., Butterfield, J.S., Snow, R.W., and

We compared our results with those from Anvers Island, Bellingshausen Sea. Colony sizes at Ross Island have been increasing, contrary to decreasing size at Anvers Island. At Ross Island, during the month prior to fledging, chick diet consisted equally of energy-dense Antarctic silverfish <i>Pleuragramma antarctica</i> and less-caloric crystal krill <i>Euphausia crystal-lorophias</i>, while at Anvers Island the diet was principally Antarctic krill <i>E. superba</i>. At Ross Island, the mass of fledglings who subsequently returned (mean ± SE: 3.4 ± 0.0411 kg) exceeded that of those not seen again (3.2 ± 0.0251 kg), compared to Anvers Island (3.2 vs. 3.0 kg, respectively). At Ross Island, fledging mass was inversely related to colony size and, at the largest colony, fledging mass decreased as the colony grew. Average mass of returnees at the largest colony was less than the mass at Anvers Island for those fledglings that did not return. The mean proportion of fish in the chicks’ diet decreased at the largest Ross Island colony over time, as did fledging mass. We hypothesize that intraspecific competition increased along with colony size, decreasing the availability of fish. We further hypothesize that at the large Ross Island colony, post-fledging penguins must be finding adequate prey, and more energy-dense fish, just outside the colony’s foraging area to explain opposing trends in colony trajectories.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"Inter-Research","doi":"10.3354/meps12687","usgsCitation":"Ainley, D., Dugger, K., La Mesa, M., Ballard, G., Barton, K.J., Jennings, S., Karl, B.J., Lescroël, A., Lyver, P.O., Schmid, A., and Wilson, P., 2018, Post-fledging survival of Adélie Penguins at multiple colonies: chicks raised on fish do well: Marine Ecology Progress Series, v. 601, p. 239-251, https://doi.org/10.3354/meps12687.","productDescription":"13 p.","startPage":"239","endPage":"251","ipdsId":"IP-097903","costCenters":[{"id":200,"text":"Coop Res Unit Seattle","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":468458,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.3354/meps12687","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":395732,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"Antarctica","otherGeospatial":"Beaufort Island, Ross Island, Ross Sea","volume":"601","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Ainley, David G.","contributorId":275171,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Ainley","given":"David G.","affiliations":[{"id":12586,"text":"Consultant","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":833770,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Dugger, Katie M. 0000-0002-4148-246X cdugger@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4148-246X","contributorId":4399,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Dugger","given":"Katie","email":"cdugger@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[{"id":200,"text":"Coop Res Unit Seattle","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":833769,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"La Mesa, Mario","contributorId":275172,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"La Mesa","given":"Mario","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":56736,"text":"ismar-cnr","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":833771,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Ballard, Grant","contributorId":275173,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Ballard","given":"Grant","affiliations":[{"id":56737,"text":"pbsc","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":833772,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Barton, Kerry J.","contributorId":275174,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Barton","given":"Kerry","email":"","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[{"id":56738,"text":"landcare science","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":833773,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Jennings, Scott","contributorId":275175,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Jennings","given":"Scott","affiliations":[{"id":56739,"text":"cypres grove","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":833774,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6},{"text":"Karl, Brian J.","contributorId":275176,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Karl","given":"Brian","email":"","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[{"id":56740,"text":"landcare reesearch","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":833775,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":7},{"text":"Lescroël, Amelie","contributorId":275177,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Lescroël","given":"Amelie","affiliations":[{"id":17734,"text":"Point Blue Conservation Science","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":833776,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":8},{"text":"Lyver, Phil O’B.","contributorId":275178,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Lyver","given":"Phil","email":"","middleInitial":"O’B.","affiliations":[{"id":12679,"text":"Landcare Research","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":833777,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":9},{"text":"Schmid, Annie","contributorId":275179,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Schmid","given":"Annie","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":17734,"text":"Point Blue Conservation Science","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":833778,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":10},{"text":"Wilson, Peter","contributorId":275180,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Wilson","given":"Peter","affiliations":[{"id":12679,"text":"Landcare Research","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":833779,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":11}]}}

This paper summarizes more than a decade of stranding recoveries (live and dead turtles) on the islands of Saipan and Tinian, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), to obtain baseline information on the primary threats to sea turtles in the CNMI. Gross external examination and necropsy of dead turtles was used to infer primary cause of stranding of 89 sea turtles (92.1% green (</span><i>Chelonia mydas</i><span>), 5.6% hawksbill (</span><i>Eretmochelys imbricata</i><span>), 1.1% olive ridley (</span><i>Lepidochelys olivacea</i><span>), and 1% unknown). Of these stranding recoveries, 80.9% were juveniles, 15.7% were adults, and 3.4% were unknown. Trauma related to illegal human take was the primary cause of stranding and accounted for 79% of CNMI sea turtle injuries and mortalities. The remaining 21% of strandings were attributed to (in rank order): marine debris entanglement, shark bite, boat strike, emaciation, and infectious disease. This study provides the first comprehensive characterization of cause-specific sea turtle injury and mortality in CNMI, described within the unique socio-cultural and historical dynamics of the region. Culturally-relevant suggestions for management are provided that may help address the primary threat to CNMI sea turtles.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"University of Guam","usgsCitation":"Summers, T.M., Kelly, I.K., Work, T.M., Hapdei, J.R., and Ruak, J.K., 2018, Human induced trauma and directed take inhibits sea turtle recovery in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands: Micronesica, v. 2018, no. 8, p. 1-19.","productDescription":"2018-08, 19 p.","startPage":"1","endPage":"19","ipdsId":"IP-086179","costCenters":[{"id":456,"text":"National Wildlife Health Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":367634,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":367619,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://micronesica.org/volumes/2018"}],"country":"United States","otherGeospatial":"Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Guam","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              144.53613281249997,\n              13.15437605541853\n            ],\n            [\n              146.14013671875,\n              13.15437605541853\n            ],\n            [\n              146.14013671875,\n              15.37954307526449\n            ],\n            [\n              144.53613281249997,\n              15.37954307526449\n            ],\n            [\n              144.53613281249997,\n              13.15437605541853\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"2018","issue":"8","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":15,"text":"Madison PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Summers, Tammy M.","contributorId":150150,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Summers","given":"Tammy","email":"","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[{"id":590,"text":"U.S. Army Corps of Engineers","active":false,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":771498,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Kelly, Irene Kinan","contributorId":219178,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Kelly","given":"Irene","email":"","middleInitial":"Kinan","affiliations":[{"id":39968,"text":"National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration, Pacific Islands Regional Office, Honolulu, HI, USA","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":771499,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Work, Thierry M. 0000-0002-4426-9090 thierry_work@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4426-9090","contributorId":1187,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Work","given":"Thierry","email":"thierry_work@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[{"id":456,"text":"National Wildlife Health Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":771497,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Hapdei, Jessy R.","contributorId":150151,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Hapdei","given":"Jessy","email":"","middleInitial":"R.","affiliations":[{"id":590,"text":"U.S. Army Corps of Engineers","active":false,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":771500,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Ruak, Joe K.","contributorId":219179,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Ruak","given":"Joe","email":"","middleInitial":"K.","affiliations":[{"id":39969,"text":"CNMI Department of Lands and Natural Resources Sea Turtle Program, Saipan, MP","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":771501,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5}]}}

Long-term monitoring can lead to ecological understanding by identifying biotic and abiotic drivers of population dynamics. Spotlight surveys are a widely used method to monitor abundance and size-class structure of crocodilian populations. The American Alligator (Alligator mississippiensis) has recovered from significant population reductions in the southeastern United States. The Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks (MDWFP) has conducted alligator spotlight surveys since 1971 to monitor populations. We analyzed this long-term alligator survey dataset to assess possible trends in counts as a proxy for potential population changes. We tested for a positive trend in count data over 46 y and evaluated covariates that could influence counts to assist future survey protocols. Alligator counts during 1971– 2016 increased across survey routes in Mississippi. This observed positive response may represent an increase of the alligator population in Mississippi as a result of conservation benefits accrued from improved wetland conditions and species-specific management policies. Evaluation of survey covariates indicated recent rainfall and increasing wind velocity had negative effects on alligator counts while increasing water temperature had a positive effect. Implementing robust survey techniques will improve the reliability of alligator monitoring data and their application to the management of alligator populations. Further, these improved approaches may be useful to other conservation and management agencies as well as for other crocodilian species.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"Herpetological

Over 150 species are listed as endangered or vulnerable to extinction, primarily due to habitat degradation. Despite their ubiquity and ecological importance, relatively little has been published on diseases of bats, while much has been written on bats’ role as reservoirs in disease transmission. The decimation of certain bat populations in North America following the introduction of the fungus <i>Pseudogymnoascus destructans</i>, the cause of white-nose syndrome has served to highlight both the importance and vulnerability of bats and has resulted in increased focus on disease threats to free-ranging bat populations. In addition to the threat of infectious disease, the close proximity of bats to humans, including the use of human structures for hibernation and their service as a food source in many parts of the world, result in their susceptibility to anthropomorphic threats such as trauma, toxicosis, and habitat loss. Ultimately, the interdependence of bats and humans means that an understanding of their health is critical for understanding and preserving human, domestic animal, and ecosystem health.</p>","largerWorkType":{"id":4,"text":"Book"},"largerWorkTitle":"Pathology of wildlife and zoo animals","language":"English","publisher":"Academic Press","isbn":"9780128053065","usgsCitation":"Farina, L.L., and Lankton, J.S., 2018, Chiroptera, chap. <i>of</i> Pathology of wildlife and zoo animals, p. 607-632.","productDescription":"26 p.","startPage":"607","endPage":"632","ipdsId":"IP-088851","costCenters":[{"id":456,"text":"National Wildlife Health Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":358247,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":358269,"rank":2,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://www.elsevier.com/books/pathology-of-wildlife-and-zoo-animals/terio/978-0-12-805306-5#"}],"publishingServiceCenter":{"id":15,"text":"Madison PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5bc02fb3e4b0fc368eb53954","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Farina, Lisa L.","contributorId":208559,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Farina","given":"Lisa","email":"","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[{"id":37815,"text":"Department of Infectious Diseases and Pathology, University of Florida, College of Veterinary Medicine","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":747687,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Lankton, Julia S. 0000-0002-6843-4388 jlankton@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6843-4388","contributorId":5888,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Lankton","given":"Julia","email":"jlankton@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"S.","affiliations":[{"id":456,"text":"National Wildlife Health Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":747686,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}}

We used agricultural statistics, socio-economic producer surveys, and agronomic field research data to estimate traditional pollination value metrics and create novel approaches to the valuation of the ecosystem services provided by wild pollinators. Using two regionally important United States (USA) crops—Maine wild blueberry and Massachusetts cranberry—as models, we present the perceived values of wild bee pollinators from the perspectives of both consumers and producers. The net income attributable to wild bees was similar for wild blueberry ($613/ha) and cranberry ($689/ha). Marginal profit from incrementally adding more hives per ha was greater from stocking a third/fourth hive for cranberry ($6206/ha) than stocking a ninth/10th hive for wild blueberry ($556/ha), given the greater initial responsiveness of yield, revenue, and profit using rented honey bee hives in cranberry compared with wild blueberry. Both crops’ producers were willing to annually invest only $140–188/ha in wild pollination enhancements on their farms, justifying government financial support.

When connectivity across a species landscape is disrupted, the levels and distribution of genetic diversity can rapidly deteriorate as a result of genetic drift, leading to increased inbreeding and reduced adaptive potential. Therefore, understanding the distribution and degree of genetic variation within imperiled populations provides important information for conservation management and recovery strategies, especially when paired with translocation and repatriation programs. Here, we used genome-wide nuclear markers to study the population structure and genetic diversity from tissue samples collected between 2010 and 2016 of two threatened species of gartersnakes inhabiting the lower Colorado River Basin in the United States: Mogollon Narrow-headed gartersnake (<i>Thamnophis rufipunctatus</i>) and Northern Mexican gartersnake (<i>Thamnophis eques megalop</i>s). Our specific objectives were to determine how populations inhabiting the lower Colorado River Basin were related to sister species and southern populations along the Sierra Madre Occidental in Mexico, to determine how genetic variation is partitioned among drainage basins in the lower Colorado River Basin, and to provide estimates of genetic diversity and effective sizes of sampled sites to aide species-specific conservation management of these threatened gartersnakes. For both species, we found that populations along the lower Colorado River Basin are highly differentiated from sister species and southern populations located further south in Mexico, and exhibit reduced genetic diversity relative to populations along the Sierra Madre Occidental. Within the lower Colorado River Basin, genetic analyses revealed highly structured genetic groups for both species of gartersnakes that point to shared contemporary and historical drivers of differentiation. We found that most sites throughout the lower Colorado River Basin have low genetic diversity and effective population sizes below the threshold required to retain adaptive potential. However, these trends were especially pronounced for <i>T. rufipunctatus</i>. If genetic management and translocation strategies are adopted in the future, these population genetic results can be used to highlight sites of particular concern and locate the most genetically similar sites for translocation or re-establishment efforts. Such measures could help curb further population genetic change, alleviate problems associated with low genetic diversity, and strengthen the adaptive potential across the range of these two gartersnake species.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","publisherLocation":"Reston, VA","doi":"10.3133/ofr20181141","collaboration":"Prepared for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service","usgsCitation":"Wood, D.A., Emmons, I.D., Nowak, E.M., Christman, B.L., Holycross, A.T., Jennings, R.D., and Vandergast, A.G., 2018, Conservation genomics of the Mogollon Narrow-headed gartersnake (<i>Thamnophis rufipunctatus</i>) and Northern Mexican gartersnake (<i>Thamnophis eques megalops</i>): U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 2018-1141, 47 p., https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20181141.","productDescription":"Report: viii, 47 p.","onlineOnly":"Y","ipdsId":"IP-096783","costCenters":[{"id":651,"text":"Western Ecological Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":356979,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2018/1141/coverthb_.jpg"},{"id":357008,"rank":2,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2018/1141/ofr20181141_.pdf","text":"Report","size":"10 MB","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"},"description":"OFR 2018-1141"}],"contact":"<p><a data-mce-href=\"https://www.usgs.gov/centers/werc/connect\" href=\"https://www.usgs.gov/centers/werc/connect\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Director</a>, <br><a data-mce-href=\"https://www.usgs.gov/centers/werc/\" href=\"https://www.usgs.gov/centers/werc/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Western Ecological Research Center</a><br><a data-mce-href=\"https://www.usgs.gov/\" href=\"https://www.usgs.gov/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">U.S. Geological Survey</a><br>3020 State University Drive East<br>Sacramento, California 95819 </p>","tableOfContents":"<ul><li>Abstract</li><li>Introduction</li><li>Methods</li><li>Results</li><li>Discussion</li><li>Data Accessibility</li><li>References Cited</li><li>Glossary</li><li>Appendix 1.
