For this reason, there is substantial power in integrating different approaches, particularly for research associated with the multifaceted nature of ecosystem responses to global change. Within a given research approach – for example, remote sensing, field experimentation, modeling – science promotes the continued advancement of tools and techniques. As technical advancements continue at an unprecedented rate, new opportunities for integrated, multi-approach research emerge, which could more effectively capture the mechanisms and patterns that drive ecosystem structure and function. A capacity to move beyond comparison and into the realm of integration shows promise for promoting significant advances in Earth system science, as evidenced by the Organized Session Science at the Frontier: Using Multimethod Research to Create New Knowledge and Assess Tools Across Spatial and Temporal Scales on December 12, 2017 at the Fall meeting of the American Geophysical Union in New Orleans, Louisiana.","language":"English","publisher":"Wiley","doi":"10.1111/nph.15195","usgsCitation":"Tucker, C., Yan, D., Reed, S.C., Dannenberg, M., and Smith, W., 2018, Science at the frontier: Multimethod research to evaluate ecosystem change across multiple scales: New Phytologist, v. 218, no. 4, p. 1318-1320, https://doi.org/10.1111/nph.15195.","productDescription":"3 p.","startPage":"1318","endPage":"1320","ipdsId":"IP-094934","costCenters":[{"id":568,"text":"Southwest Biological Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":468692,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1111/nph.15195","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":356813,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"218","issue":"4","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":14,"text":"Menlo Park PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2018-05-08","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5b98a2b0e4b0702d0e842fbb","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Tucker, Colin 0000-0002-4539-7780 ctucker@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4539-7780","contributorId":207299,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Tucker","given":"Colin","email":"ctucker@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":568,"text":"Southwest Biological Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":743479,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Yan, Dong","contributorId":207300,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Yan","given":"Dong","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":37515,"text":"University of Arizona School of Natural Resources","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":743481,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Reed, Sasha C. 0000-0002-8597-8619 screed@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8597-8619","contributorId":462,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Reed","given":"Sasha","email":"screed@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"C.","affiliations":[{"id":568,"text":"Southwest Biological Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":743480,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Dannenberg, Matthew","contributorId":207301,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Dannenberg","given":"Matthew","affiliations":[{"id":37515,"text":"University of Arizona School of Natural Resources","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":743482,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Smith, William","contributorId":207337,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Smith","given":"William","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":743483,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5}]}}

However, free-ranging wildlife that survive initial exposure to&nbsp;pollutants&nbsp;may also experience long-term consequences.

We GPS-tracked 12 rehabilitated&nbsp;</span>brown pelicans<span>&nbsp;and compared their movements to those of eight non-oiled, non-rehabilitated controls over 87–707 (mean = 271) days. Rehabilitated pelicans traveled farther, spent more time in long-distance movements, and occupied more productive waters than controls. These differences were more apparent among females than males. Rehabilitated pelicans also visited&nbsp;breeding colonies&nbsp;and&nbsp;nest sites&nbsp;at lower rates than controls. Our results indicate that, although rehabilitated pelicans undertake long-distance movements, they may display increased dispersion and reduced breeding investment, particularly among females.

A map as a knowledge base means that the visual map is not only the descriptive compilation of data and design principles, but also involves a compilation of semantic propositions and logical predicates that create a body of knowledge organized as a map. The digital product of a map as knowledge base can be interpreted by machines, as well as humans, and can provide access to the knowledge base through interfaces to select features and other information from the map. The design of maps as a knowledge base involves technical approaches and a system architecture to support a knowledge base. This paper clarifies how a map as a knowledge base differs from earlier map theory models by investigating the knowledge-based concepts of implementation through logical modelling, a knowledge repository, user interfaces for information access, and cartographic visualization.

Two synergistic efforts identify specific priority variables for monitoring: Essential Ocean Variables (EOVs) through the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS), and Essential Biodiversity Variables (EBVs) from the Group on Earth Observations Biodiversity Observation Network (GEO BON). Both systems support reporting against internationally agreed conventions and treaties. GOOS, established under the auspices of the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC), plays a leading role in coordinating global monitoring of the ocean and in the definition of EOVs. GEO BON is a global biodiversity observation network that coordinates observations to enhance management of the world’s biodiversity and promote both the awareness and accounting of ecosystem services. Convergence and agreement between these two efforts are required to streamline existing and new marine observation programs to advance scientific knowledge effectively and to support the sustainable use and management of ocean spaces and resources. In this context, the Marine Biodiversity Observation Network (MBON), a thematic component of GEO BON, is collaborating with GOOS, the Ocean Biogeographic Information System (OBIS), and the Integrated Marine Biosphere Research (IMBeR) project to ensure that EBVs and EOVs are complementary, representing alternative uses of a common set of scientific measurements. This work is informed by the Joint Technical Commission for Oceanography and Marine Meteorology (JCOMM), an intergovernmental body of technical experts that helps international coordination on best practices for observing, data management and services, combined with capacity development expertise. Characterizing biodiversity and understanding its drivers will require incorporation of observations from traditional and molecular taxonomy, animal tagging and tracking efforts, ocean biogeochemistry, and ocean observatory initiatives including deep ocean and seafloor. The partnership between large-scale ocean observing and product distribution initiatives (MBON, OBIS, JCOMM, and GOOS) is an expedited, effective way to support international policy-level assessments (e.g., the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services or IPBES), along with the implementation of international development goals (e.g., the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals).","language":"English","publisher":"Frontiers","doi":"10.3389/fmars.2018.00211","usgsCitation":"Muller-Karger, F.E., Miloslavich, P., Bax, N., Simmons, S.E., Costello,

Anticipating short‐ to near‐term climate conditions can help managers mitigate land degradation driven by unfavorable conditions and promote actions that make the most of favorable conditions. Similarly, anticipating long‐term, multidecadal climate trajectories can help managers to identify those species and communities that are most likely to remain viable throughout the 21st century.

We describe the nesting locations, timing, behavior, and habitat of&nbsp;</span><i>A. spinifera</i><span>&nbsp;in relation to natural and anthropogenic factors in the Missouri River. Nesting followed annual peak river stage, mostly occurred in the afternoon when air temperatures were 25°–30°C, and did not occur when human activity was nearby.&nbsp;</span><i>Apalone spinifera</i><span>&nbsp;nested in June in a year with average discharge (2012), but nested 20 d later in a year with a large flood event (2011). During the average discharge year, 90% of nests were found on islands, but similar proportions of nests were found on island and mainland habitats during the flood year because many islands were inundated. Nests were mostly in mixed-gravel substrates where vegetation cover was sparse or absent. Depredation occurred only after the emergence of hatchlings (∼ 60 d after nesting) and more often on nests on the mainland than on islands. Emergence rates were ∼ 1.5 times higher in the average year than the flood year, and emergence rates were higher in mixed-gravel nests than in pure-sand nests in 2011. In artificial nests, incubation temperatures averaged ∼ 4.3°C higher in mixed-gravel than in sand substrates, and freezing temperatures in winter penetrated to depths greater than the mean egg chamber depth (7.5 cm) for up to 3 wks. Therefore, incubation might be accelerated in mixed-gravel substrates. Accelerated incubation would enhance reproductive success because freezing temperatures preclude hatchlings from overwintering in nests in our study area. Mountain snowmelt-driven hydrology, coupled with the onset of freezing temperatures in autumn, might create a temporal “runoff-freeze squeeze” that limits the successful reproduction of&nbsp;</span><i>A. spinifera</i><span>in some years. However, high runoff also scoured vegetation from shorelines where&nbsp;</span><i>A. spinifera</i><span>nested in subsequent years.

However, current regional- to global-scale surface water products lack the spatial or temporal resolution necessary to characterize heterogeneous or variable wetlands. Here, we proposed a fully automatic classification tree approach to classify surface water extent using Sentinel-1 synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data and training datasets derived from prior class masks. Prior classes of water and non-water were generated from the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) water body dataset (SWBD) or composited dynamic surface water extent (cDSWE) class probabilities. Classification maps of water and non-water were derived over two distinct wetlandscapes: the Delmarva Peninsula and the Prairie Pothole Region. Overall classification accuracy ranged from 79% to 93% when compared to high-resolution images in the Prairie Pothole Region site. Using cDSWE class probabilities reduced omission errors among water bodies by 10% and commission errors among non-water class by 4% when compared with results generated by using the SWBD water mask. These findings indicate that including prior water masks that reflect the dynamics in surface water extent (i.e., cDSWE) is important for the accurate mapping of water bodies using SAR data.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"MDPI","doi":"10.3390/rs10050797","usgsCitation":"Huang, W., DeVries, B., Huang, C., Lang, M.W., Jones, J., Creed, I., and Carroll, M.L., 2018, Automated extraction of surface water extent from Sentinel-1 data: Remote Sensing, v. 10, no. 5, p. 1-18, https://doi.org/10.3390/rs10050797.","productDescription":"Article 797; 18 p.","startPage":"1","endPage":"18","ipdsId":"IP-095856","costCenters":[{"id":242,"text":"Eastern Geographic Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":468694,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/rs10050797","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":358186,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"10","issue":"5","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":9,"text":"Reston PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2018-05-21","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5bc02fe4e4b0fc368eb5399d","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Huang, Wenli 0000-0001-9608-1690","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9608-1690","contributorId":198973,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Huang","given":"Wenli","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":7261,"text":"Department of Geographical Sciences, University of Maryland, College Park, MD, 20742","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":747418,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"DeVries, Ben 0000-0003-2136-3401","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2136-3401","contributorId":198971,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"DeVries","given":"Ben","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":7261,"text":"Department of Geographical Sciences, University of Maryland, College Park, MD, 20742","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":747419,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Huang, Chengquan 0000-0003-0055-9798","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0055-9798","contributorId":198972,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Huang","given":"Chengquan","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":7261,"text":"Department of Geographical Sciences, University of Maryland, College Park, MD, 20742","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":747420,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Lang, Megan W.","contributorId":196284,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Lang","given":"Megan","email":"","middleInitial":"W.","affiliations":[{"id":6661,"text":"US Fish and Wildlife Service","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":747421,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Jones, John W. 0000-0001-6117-3691 jwjones@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6117-3691","contributorId":2220,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Jones","given":"John","email":"jwjones@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"W.","affiliations":[{"id":37786,"text":"WMA - Observing Systems Division","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":242,"text":"Eastern Geographic Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":747417,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Creed, Irena F.","contributorId":81209,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Creed","given":"Irena F.","affiliations":[{"id":27655,"text":"Department of Biology, University of Western Ontario, London, ON Canada","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":747422,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6},{"text":"Carroll, Mark L.","contributorId":145826,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Carroll","given":"Mark","email":"","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[{"id":16246,"text":"Biospheric Sciences Laboratory, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, MD, USA","active":true,"usgs":false},{"id":7239,"text":"Science Systems and Applications, Inc.","active":true,"usgs":false},{"id":16247,"text":"Sigma Space Corp, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, MD, USA","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":747423,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":7}]}}

We also evaluated the influence of survey effort on detection of Suwannee Moccasinshell during field surveys. We compiled all recent (2013–2016) mussel survey records in the Suwannee River Basin. We calculated cumulative discharge contributed by upstream springs for each of 220 survey locations. We combined the spring discharge predictor variable with Suwannee Moccasinshell detection and nondetection data from each survey location to develop a suite of occupancy models. Modeling results indicated that detection of Suwannee Moccasinshell during surveys was strongly and positively related to survey effort. Modeling results also indicated that sites with cumulative spring discharge inputs exceeding ∼28 cubic meters per second were most likely (i.e., predicted occupancy probabilities &gt;0.5) to support Suwannee Moccasinshell populations. However, occupancy declined in the lowermost reaches of the Suwannee mainstem despite high spring discharge inputs, presumably due to greater tidal influences and differences in physicochemical habitat conditions. Historical localities where Suwannee Moccasinshell has presumably been extirpated are all devoid of springs in their upstream watersheds.

The federally endangered Indiana bat&nbsp;</span><i>Myotis sodalis</i><span>&nbsp;has declined dramatically and threats such as white-nose syndrome continue to afflict this species. To date, important demographic information for Indiana bats has been difficult to estimate precisely using traditional techniques such as emergence counts. Successful management and protection of Indiana bats requires better methods to estimate population sizes and survival rates throughout the year, particularly during summer when these bats reproduce and are widely dispersed away from their winter hibernacula. In addition, the familial makeup of maternity colonies is unknown, yet important for understanding local and regional population dynamics. We had four objectives in this study. For the first two objectives we investigated the potential use of DNA from fecal samples (fecal DNA) collected at roosts to obtain genetically based mark–recapture estimates of 1) colony size and 2) survival rates, for an Indiana bat maternity colony in Indianapolis, Indiana. The third objective was to compare our genetically based colony-size estimates with emergence counts conducted at the same roost tree to evaluate the genetic mark–recapture method. Our fourth objective was to use fecal DNA to estimate levels of relatedness among individuals sampled at the roost. In the summer of 2008, we collected fecal pellets and conducted emergence counts at a prominent roost tree during three time periods each lasting 7 or 8 d. We genotyped fecal DNA using five highly polymorphic microsatellite loci to identify individuals and used a robust-design mark–recapture approach to estimate survival rates as well as colony size at the roost tree. Emergence count estimates at the roost tree ranged from 100 to 215, whereas genetic mark–recapture estimates were higher, ranging from 122 to 266 and more precise. Apparent survival was 0.994 (SE = 0.04) between sampling periods suggesting that few bats died or permanently emigrated during the course of the study. Relatedness estimates,&nbsp;</span><i>r,</i><span>&nbsp;between all pairs of individuals averaged 0.055 ranging from 0 to 0.779, indicating that most individuals were not closely related. We demonstrate here the promise of using fecal DNA to estimate demographic information for Indiana bats and potentially other bat species.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Fish and Wildlife Service","doi":"10.3996/122016-JFWM-093","usgsCitation":"Oyler-McCance, S.J., Fike, J., Lukacs, P.M., Sparks, D.W., O’Shea, T.J., and Whitaker, J.O., 2018, Genetic mark–recapture improves estimates of maternity colony size for Indiana bats: Journal of Fish and Wildlife Management, v. 9, no. 1, p. 25-35, https://doi.org/10.3996/122016-JFWM-093.","productDescription":"11 p.","startPage":"25","endPage":"35","ipdsId":"IP-080507","costCenters":[{"id":291,"text":"Fort Collins Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":460907,"rank":1,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.3996/122016-jfwm-093","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":437882,"rank":0,"type":{"id":30,"text":"Data Release"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.5066/F728063T","text":"USGS data release","linkHelpText":"Indiana Bat fecal DNA study, Indianapolis, IN Summer 2008"},{"id":356793,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"9","issue":"1","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":2,"text":"Denver PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2017-11-03","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5b98a2bae4b0702d0e842fc5","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Oyler-McCance, Sara J. 0000-0003-1599-8769 sara_oyler-mccance@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1599-8769","contributorId":1973,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Oyler-McCance","given":"Sara","email":"sara_oyler-mccance@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[{"id":291,"text":"Fort Collins Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":743402,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Fike, Jennifer A. 0000-0001-8797-7823","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8797-7823","contributorId":207268,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Fike","given":"Jennifer A.","affiliations":[{"id":291,"text":"Fort Collins Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":743403,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Lukacs, Paul M.","contributorId":207269,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Lukacs","given":"Paul","email":"","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[{"id":36523,"text":"University of Montana","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":743404,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Sparks, Dale W.","contributorId":171601,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Sparks","given":"Dale","email":"","middleInitial":"W.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":743405,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"O’Shea, Thomas J. 0000-0002-0758-9730","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0758-9730","contributorId":207270,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"O’Shea","given":"Thomas","email":"","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[{"id":291,"text":"Fort Collins Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":743406,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Whitaker, John O.

Published population trends from the North American Breeding Bird Survey program suggested that Burrowing Owl populations in the US have declined over the past 60 yr, but the declines were not considered significant until 2014. However, accurate trend estimates and the statistical significance of those estimates were hampered by low relative abundance of owls. Moreover, many authors have suggested that eradication of burrowing animals is a major cause of Burrowing Owl declines, because burrows dug by burrowing animals are a critical resource for Western Burrowing Owls (</span><i>A. cunicularia hypugaea</i><span>). Despite this, we currently lack a range-wide summary of the burrowing animals on which Western Burrowing Owls depend. To help fill these two information gaps, my objectives were to: (1) use Breeding Bird Survey (BBS) data to examine geographic patterns in population trends of Burrowing Owls throughout their breeding range in the USA, and (2) use past studies to provide the first summary of the spatial extent to which Western Burrowing Owls rely on the suite of burrowing animals throughout their breeding range. Significantly more BBS routes in the US show declining counts of owls than show increasing or stable counts, and the declines were most apparent prior to 1995. Counts of Burrowing Owls declined most precipitously on the northern edge and southern edge of the owl's US breeding range. Western Burrowing Owls primarily use black-tailed prairie dog (</span><i>Cynomys ludovicianus</i><span>) burrows in the eastern portion of their breeding range, whereas the diversity of burrowing species on which the owls depend is much greater in the western and central portions of their breeding range. Burrowing owl declines have been most apparent in portions of their range where they rely primarily on Richardson's ground squirrels (</span><i>Urocitellus richardsonii</i><span>), California ground squirrels (</span><i>Otospermophilus beecheyi</i><span>), black-tailed prairie dogs, and American badgers (</span><i>Taxidea taxus</i><span>).</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"The Raptor Research Foundation","doi":"10.3356/JRR-16-109.1","collaboration":"University of Idaho","usgsCitation":"Conway, C.J., 2018, Spatial and temporal patterns in population trends and burrow usage of burrowing owls in North America: Journal of Raptor Research, v. 52, no. 2, p. 129-142, https://doi.org/10.3356/JRR-16-109.1.","productDescription":"14 p.","startPage":"129","endPage":"142","ipdsId":"IP-082315","costCenters":[{"id":200,"text":"Coop Res Unit Seattle","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":468699,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.3356/jrr-16-109.1","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":356147,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"52","issue":"2","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":12,"text":"Tacoma PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5b6fc442e4b0f5d57878ea31","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Conway, Courtney J. 0000-0003-0492-2953 cconway@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0492-2953","contributorId":2951,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Conway","given":"Courtney","email":"cconway@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[{"id":200,"text":"Coop Res Unit Seattle","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":741366,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1}]}}

The model enables calculation of suspension of bottom sediment based on combined forcing of tidal currents and wind waves. We show that accurate results can be obtained by employing two‐size classes which are representative of microflocs and macroflocs in the Bay. A key finding of the paper is that the critical calibration parameter is the ratio of the erosion of the microflocs to macroflocs from the bed. Different values of this erosion ratio are needed on the shallow shoals and deeper channels because of the different nature of the sediment dynamics in these regions. Application of a spatially variable erosion ratio and critical shear stress for erosion is shown to accurately reproduce observed suspended sediment concentration at four‐field sites located along a cross‐channel transect. The results reveal a stark contrast between the behavior of the suspended sediment concentration on the shoals and in the deep channel. Waves are shown to resuspend sediments on the shoals, although tidal and wind‐generated currents are needed to mix the thin wave‐driven suspensions into the water column. The contribution to the suspended sediment concentration in the channel by transport from the shoals is similar in magnitude to that due to local resuspension. However, the local contribution is in phase with strong bottom currents which resuspend the sediments, while the contribution from the shoals peaks during low‐water slack tide.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"AGU","doi":"10.1029/2017JC013064","usgsCitation":"Chou, Y., Nelson, K.S., Holleman, R.C., Fringer, O.B., Stacey, M.T., Lacy, J.R., Monismith, S.G., and Koseff, J.R., 2018, Three-dimensional modeling of ﬁne sediment transport by waves and currents in a shallow estuary: Journal of Geophysical Research C: Oceans, v. 123, no. 6, p. 4177-4199, https://doi.org/10.1029/2017JC013064.","productDescription":"23 p.","startPage":"4177","endPage":"4199","ipdsId":"IP-087057","costCenters":[{"id":520,"text":"Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":468700,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1029/2017jc013064","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":356440,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","otherGeospatial":"San Francisco Bay","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -123.12103271484375,\n              37.4\n            ],\n            [\n              -121.5,\n              37.4\n            ],\n            [\n              -121.5,\n              38.4\n            ],\n            [\n              -123.12103271484375,\n              38.4\n            ],\n            [\n              -123.12103271484375,\n              37.4\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"123","issue":"6","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":14,"text":"Menlo Park PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2018-06-29","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5b98a2bae4b0702d0e842fc9","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Chou, Yi-Ju","contributorId":206951,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Chou","given":"Yi-Ju","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":30216,"text":"National Taiwan University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":742319,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Nelson, Kurt S.","contributorId":206952,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Nelson","given":"Kurt","email":"","middleInitial":"S.","affiliations":[{"id":6986,"text":"Stanford University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":742320,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Holleman, Rusty C.","contributorId":206953,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Holleman","given":"Rusty","email":"","middleInitial":"C.","affiliations":[{"id":12703,"text":"San Francisco Estuary Institute","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":742321,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Fringer, Oliver B.","contributorId":206954,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Fringer","given":"Oliver","email":"","middleInitial":"B.","affiliations":[{"id":6986,"text":"Stanford University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":742322,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Stacey, Mark T.","contributorId":206955,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Stacey","given":"Mark","email":"","middleInitial":"T.","affiliations":[{"id":6609,"text":"UC Berkeley","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":742323,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Lacy, Jessica R. 0000-0002-2797-6172","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2797-6172","contributorId":201703,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Lacy","given":"Jessica","email":"","middleInitial":"R.","affiliations":[{"id":520,"text":"Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":742318,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6},{"text":"Monismith, Stephen G.","contributorId":196322,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Monismith","given":"Stephen","email":"","middleInitial":"G.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":742324,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":7},{"text":"Koseff, Jeffrey R.","contributorId":37915,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Koseff","given":"Jeffrey","email":"","middleInitial":"R.","affiliations":[{"id":6986,"text":"Stanford University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":742325,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":8}]}}

Of the identified 179 benthic foraminiferal species, occurrences of the 15 most abundant taxa were assessed using Q-mode Cluster Analysis and Non-Metric Dimensional Scaling. Diversity, equitability, planktonic/benthic index, microhabitat preference, and sedimentary parameters such as lithology and sponge spicule content were analyzed to gather information about past intermediate- and surface-water circulation. Relative abundances of infaunal and epifaunal species were applied to indicate changes in organic-matter supply and oxygenation at the sea floor.</p><p>Influence of upwelling was recognized by a high infaunal species ratio, with dominance by <i>Uvigerina peregrina</i>, <i>Lagena annellatrachia</i> and <i>Trifarina bradyi</i>. Epifaunal species such as <i>Hanzawaia nipponica</i> and <i>Hyalinea florenceae</i> gradually became more abundant around 1.14 Ma, indicating increased ventilation and establishment of the paleo-LC. A more substantial change was initiated by 0.91 Ma as marked by key species <i>Spirorutilus carinatus</i> and <i>Rotorbinella sp.</i>, together with increased faunal diversity, benthic foraminiferal accumulation rates, and evidence for suspension feeding sponges. With the LC flow suppressing upwelling, and better ventilated waters entering the shelf, the environment favored epifaunal agglutinates, rotalids, and miliolids, while buliminids decreased. Under high-flow conditions of the LC, sponge spicules and skeletal carbonate production reached an optimum at ~0.6 Ma before returning to modern conditions. Supported by these observations, we propose the following paleoceanographic evolution of the Carnarvon Ramp:</p><p>During the late Pliocene to mid Pleistocene (3.54–0.91 Ma) conditions of deep-water upwelling from the Western Australian Current and Indian Ocean Gyre indicate the absence of the capping LC on the outer carbonate ramp.</p><p>A transitional phase started in the mid Pleistocene (1.14–0.61 Ma). The paleo-LC triggered gradual oxygenation at the sediment-water interface, which coincided with an increase in carbonate sedimentation rates, and waning sea-surface productivity.</p><p>During a third phase, mid Pleistocene to present (0.91–0 Ma), the LC’s intensity and flow rates peaked at ~0.6 Ma. Benthic foraminiferal accumulation rates reached a high, then decreased to present-day rates. For short periods, sea-surface productivity was moderately enhanced, likely due to fluctuating LC persistence or landward shift during glacial maxima.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"Elsevier","doi":"10.1016/j.marmicro.2018.05.005","usgsCitation":"Haller, C., Hallock, P., Hine, A.C., and Smith, C., 2018, Benthic foraminifera from the Carnarvon Ramp reveal variability in Leeuwin Current activity (Western Australia) since the Pliocene: Marine Micropaleontology, v. 142, p. 25-39, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.marmicro.2018.05.005.","productDescription":"15 p.","startPage":"25","endPage":"39","ipdsId":"IP-097159","costCenters":[{"id":574,"text":"St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":393111,"rank":2,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":468701,"rank":1,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.marmicro.2018.05.005","text":"Publisher Index Page"}],"country":"Australia","state":"Western Australia","otherGeospatial":"Indian Ocean","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              103.53515625,\n              -31.933516761903675\n            ],\n            [\n              115.55419921875,\n              -31.933516761903675\n            ],\n            [\n              115.55419921875,\n              -27.80020993741824\n            ],\n            [\n              103.53515625,\n              -27.80020993741824\n            ],\n            [\n              103.53515625,\n              -31.933516761903675\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"142","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Haller, Christian 0000-0002-2905-2598","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2905-2598","contributorId":270216,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Haller","given":"Christian","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":7149,"text":"College of Marine Science, University of South Florida, St. Petersburg, FL","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":true,"id":828721,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Hallock, Pamela 0000-0002-1813-0482","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1813-0482","contributorId":215416,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Hallock","given":"Pamela","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":39241,"text":"College of Marine Science, University of South Florida","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":828722,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Hine, Albert C.","contributorId":218440,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Hine","given":"Albert","email":"","middleInitial":"C.","affiliations":[{"id":7163,"text":"University of South Florida","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":828723,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Smith, Christopher G. 0000-0002-8075-4763","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8075-4763","contributorId":218439,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Smith","given":"Christopher G.","affiliations":[{"id":574,"text":"St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":828724,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4}]}}

Designing effective conservation solutions for migratory species requires knowledge of both species ecology and the socioeconomic context of their migrations. We present a framework built around the concept that migratory species act as carriers, delivering benefit flows to people throughout their annual cycle that are supported by the network of ecosystems upon which the species depend. We apply this framework to the monarch butterfly (</span><i>Danaus plexippus</i><span>) migration of eastern North America by calculating their spatial subsidies. Spatial subsidies are the net ecosystem service flows throughout a species’ range and a quantitative measure of the spatial mismatch between the locations where people receive most benefits and the locations of habitats that most support the species. Results indicate cultural benefits provided by monarchs in the U.S. and Canada are subsidized by migration and overwintering habitat in Mexico. At a finer scale, throughout the monarch range, habitat in rural landscapes subsidizes urban residents. Understanding the spatial distribution of benefits derived from and ecological support provided to monarchs and other migratory species offers a promising means of understanding the costs and benefits associated with conservation across jurisdictional borders.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Elsevier","doi":"10.1016/j.ecoser.2017.12.002","usgsCitation":"Semmens, D.J., Diffendorfer, J., Bagstad, K.J., Wiederholt, R., Oberhauser, K., Ries, L., Semmens, B.X., Goldstein, J., Loomis, J.B., Thogmartin, W.E., Mattsson, B.J., and Lopez-Hoffman, L., 2018, Quantifying ecosystem service flows at multiple scales across the range of a long-distance migratory species: Ecosystem Services, v. 31, no.

The extra hours that I will spend as president of SWS will manifest itself as more cat and garden unhappiness as travel and responsibilities grow. The cats gleefully blast out of the door into the backyard, because they have been cooped up indoors during the Denver meeting. My husband is more supportive than the cats and garden. So far, being the president of SWS recreates for me both the feelings of boundless possibilities I felt when president of my 4-H club when the changing future was in my hands, and of the heavy responsibility of my temporary summer chairmanship of my university department.  “I am ready”, I think as I sleepily sip coffee that morning.\nMy observations at the Denver annual meeting led to my realization that SWS is changing in sync with the breakneck speed of the world around us. Importantly, the new Student Section is contributing new insights into all aspects of SWS. Our students are the way forward for SWS, so it is incredibly exciting to witness increasing student involvement. Please, if you are a student and you want to participate in SWS activities, contact me.\nOther new things emerging at the Denver meeting included the Traditional Ecological Knowledge initiative, which will be an important step in our internationalization efforts. Also related to internationalization, we are linking regional South American and African meetings to SWS section initiatives. Our PCP program is working toward offering certifications to members with training outside of North America, which will be of incredible value to these members. \nOther great ideas are emerging from the Denver meeting. The chapter presidents and section chairs are creating consortia to foster intra-meeting exchange of ideas. The New Media committee is offering a venue for member-created videos and phone apps. And now, we prepare for the 40th anniversary of SWS in 2020 with the planning of various celebrations as well as special issues on emerging issues in wetland science, and the history of SWS.\nMuch of my year will be spent shepherding these and other SWS activities, which will come together at the next annual meeting in Baltimore (May 28-31, 2019). In this world of electronic communication, the networking time at the annual meetings is precious. Hope to see you in Baltimore. A long time ago, SWS membership information was stored in a shoebox. Despite the substantial changes in our organization since then, I view SWS as a shoebox-full of members that I want to know personally. If you have ideas or concerns in the next year, please contact me: middletonb@usgs.gov\nMuch of my year will be spent shepherding these and other SWS activities, which will come together at the meeting in Baltimore (May 28-31, 2019).

Quality assessment indices (QAIs) and indices of biological integrity (IBIs) are useful for assessing the responses of taxa to wetland habitat quality and land use in the surrounding landscape. We synthesized the results of our previous predictive modeling studies of five IBIs and QAIs for communities of mosses, vascular plants, and amphibians in forested and emergent wetlands in Ohio (USA). Overall, the single best predictor of these indices was a metric that estimated site-scale (i.e., within the wetland boundaries) substrate and habitat development, alteration, and disturbance. The second most important predictor was a metric that assessed site-scale wetland plant community types and quality, degree of interspersion, and microtopography. Landscape-scale variables better predicted moss and amphibian indices than either vascular plant index. Our results indicate that applying management practices that reduce the effects of site-scale anthropogenic disturbances and increase habitat complexity, such as creating forested buffers surrounding wetlands, increasing wetland contiguity, and creating hummocks and tussocks may simultaneously enhance amphibian, vascular plant, and moss communities in forested and emergent wetlands. Such a focused strategy may enable management agencies to more effectively apportion resources for wetland restoration and construction projects.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"University of Wisconsin Press","doi":"10.3368/er.36.2.145","usgsCitation":"Stapanian, M.A., Micacchion, M., Gara, B., Schumacher, W., and Adams, J.V., 2018, Site-scale disturbance best predicts moss, vascular plant, and amphibian indices in Ohio wetlands: Ecological Restoration, v. 36, no. 2, p. 145-156, https://doi.org/10.3368/er.36.2.145.","productDescription":"12 p.","startPage":"145","endPage":"156","ipdsId":"IP-075063","costCenters":[{"id":324,"text":"Great Lakes Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":359608,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"36","issue":"2","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":15,"text":"Madison PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2018-05-17","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5bf52b69e4b045bfcae2800a","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Stapanian, Martin A. 0000-0001-8173-4273 mstapanian@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8173-4273","contributorId":3425,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Stapanian","given":"Martin","email":"mstapanian@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[{"id":324,"text":"Great Lakes Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":732235,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Micacchion, Mick","contributorId":203759,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Micacchion","given":"Mick","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":36709,"text":"Midwest Biodiversity","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":732236,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Gara, Brian","contributorId":52061,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Gara","given":"Brian","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":732237,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Schumacher, William","contributorId":150060,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Schumacher","given":"William","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":17898,"text":"Ohio Environmental Protection Agency","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":732238,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Adams, Jean V. 0000-0002-9101-068X jvadams@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9101-068X","contributorId":3140,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Adams","given":"Jean","email":"jvadams@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"V.","affiliations":[{"id":324,"text":"Great Lakes Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":751877,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5}]}}

The main advantages of this land management practice include (i) reducing soil erosion and improving water quality because switchgrass requires less tillage, fertilizers, and pesticides; and (ii) improving regional ecosystem services (e.g., improving water infiltration, minimizing drought and flood impacts on production, and serving as carbon sinks). In this study, we mapped high‐topographic‐relief cropland waterway buffers with high switchgrass productivity potential that may be suitable for switchgrass development in the eastern Great Plains (EGP). The US Geological Survey (USGS) Compound Topographic Index map, National Land Cover Database 2011, USGS irrigation map, and a switchgrass biomass productivity map derived from a previous study were used to identify the switchgrass potential areas.

The river and the aquifer are hydraulically connected across the outcrop, although the connectivity is obscured at the surface by alluvium and surface-water and groundwater exchange dynamics are currently poorly understood. To investigate surface-water and groundwater exchange dynamics between the lower Guadalupe River and the Carrizo-Wilcox aquifer, a geophysical study was completed along a 14.86 km reach of the river by using water-borne gradient self-potential (SP) profiling and two-dimensional direct-current electric resistivity tomography. This paper explores the applicability of these water-borne geoelectric methods in delineating gaining and losing channel reaches, and demonstrates that geoelectric signals in the form of total electric field strength can be logged with an electric dipole and decomposed into component SP signals depicting regional and local groundwater flow patterns attributable to regional and localized hydraulic gradients. Localized SP anomalies of several tens of millivolts, indicative of hyporheic exchange flows, are observed and superimposed upon a 124 mV regional SP anomaly indicative of ambient groundwater exchange flows between the river and the aquifer. The observed SP signals are interpreted through two-dimensional finite-element modeling of streaming potentials attributable to ambient groundwater exchange and hyporheic exchange flow patterns. Variables of the channel environment such as temperature and concentration gradients, depth, and velocity are considered and subsequently eliminated as alternative sources of the SP signals that are presented.</span><span></span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Society of Exploration Geophysicists","doi":"10.2113/JEEG23.2.261","usgsCitation":"Ikard, S., Teeple, A.P., Payne, J., Stanton, G.P., and Banta, J., 2018, New insights on scale-dependent surface-groundwater exchange from a floating self-potential Dipole: Journal of Environmental & Engineering Geophysics, v. 23, no. 2, p. 261-287, https://doi.org/10.2113/JEEG23.2.261.","productDescription":"27 p.","startPage":"261","endPage":"287","ipdsId":"IP-081400","costCenters":[{"id":583,"text":"Texas Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":356084,"rank":1,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Texas","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -99.8876953125,\n              26.194876675795218\n            ],\n            [\n              -93.55957031249999,\n              26.194876675795218\n            ],\n            [\n              -93.55957031249999,\n              33.97980872872457\n            ],\n            [\n              -99.8876953125,\n              33.97980872872457\n            ],\n            [\n              -99.8876953125,\n              26.194876675795218\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"23","issue":"2","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":5,"text":"Lafayette PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5b6fc443e4b0f5d57878ea37","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Ikard, Scott 0000-0002-8304-4935 sikard@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8304-4935","contributorId":171751,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Ikard","given":"Scott","email":"sikard@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":583,"text":"Texas Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":741248,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Teeple, Andrew P. 0000-0003-1781-8354 apteeple@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1781-8354","contributorId":190757,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Teeple","given":"Andrew","email":"apteeple@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"P.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":741249,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Payne, Jason  0000-0003-4294-7924 jdpayne@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4294-7924","contributorId":1062,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Payne","given":"Jason ","email":"jdpayne@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":583,"text":"Texas Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":741250,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Stanton, Gregory P. 0000-0001-8622-0933 gstanton@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8622-0933","contributorId":1583,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Stanton","given":"Gregory","email":"gstanton@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"P.","affiliations":[],"preferred":true,"id":741251,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Banta, J.
