While eradication of the invasive species is often the optimal economic solution, it may not be a feasible nor desirable management action in other cases. For example, when invasive species are desired in one area, but disperse into areas managed for endangered species, managers may be interested in persistent, but cost-effective means of managing dispersers rather than eradicating the source. In the Colorado River, a nonnative rainbow trout (</span><i>Oncorhynchus mykiss</i><span>)&nbsp;sport fishery&nbsp;is desired within Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, however, dispersal downriver into the Grand Canyon National Park is not desired as rainbow trout negatively affect endangered humpback chub (</span><i>Gila cypha</i><span>). Here, we developed a bioeconomic model incorporating population abundance goals and cost-effectiveness analyses to approximate the optimal control strategies for invasive rainbow trout conditional on achieving endangered humpback chub adult population abundance goals. Model results indicated that the most cost-effective approach to achieve target adult humpback chub abundance was a high level of rainbow trout control over moderately high rainbow trout population abundance. Adult humpback chub abundance goals were achieved at relatively low rainbow trout abundance and&nbsp;control measures&nbsp;were not cost-effective at relatively high rainbow trout abundance. Our model considered population level dynamics, species interaction and economic costs in a multi-objective decision framework to provide a preferred solution to long-run management of invasive and native species.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Elsevier","doi":"10.1016/j.biocon.2018.01.032","usgsCitation":"Bair, L.S., Yackulic, C.B., Springborn, M.R., Reimer, M.N., Bond, C.A., and Coggins, L.G., 2018, Identifying cost-effective invasive species control to enhance endangered species populations in the Grand Canyon, USA: Biological Conservation, v. 220, p. 12-20, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biocon.2018.01.032.","productDescription":"9 p.","startPage":"12","endPage":"20","ipdsId":"IP-088418","costCenters":[{"id":568,"text":"Southwest Biological Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":468867,"rank":1,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biocon.2018.01.032","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":437969,"rank":0,"type":{"id":30,"text":"Data Release"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.5066/P9K16QPJ","text":"USGS data release","linkHelpText":"Bioeconomic model population data, Grand Canyon, Arizona, USA"},{"id":357075,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","otherGeospatial":"Grand Canyon","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -112,\n              36\n            ],\n            [\n              -111.4013671875,\n              36\n            ],\n            [\n              -111.4013671875,\n              37\n            ],\n            [\n              -112,\n              37\n            ],\n            [\n              -112,\n              36\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"220","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":14,"text":"Menlo Park PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5b98a2e2e4b0702d0e843005","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Bair, Lucas S. 0000-0002-9911-3624 lbair@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9911-3624","contributorId":5270,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Bair","given":"Lucas","email":"lbair@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"S.","affiliations":[{"id":568,"text":"Southwest Biological Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":744143,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Yackulic, Charles B. 0000-0001-9661-0724 cyackulic@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9661-0724","contributorId":4662,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Yackulic","given":"Charles","email":"cyackulic@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"B.","affiliations":[{"id":568,"text":"Southwest Biological Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":744144,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Springborn, Michael R.","contributorId":207552,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Springborn","given":"Michael","email":"","middleInitial":"R.","affiliations":[{"id":37562,"text":"University of California Davis, 1 Shields Avenue Davis, CA 95616, USA","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":744145,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Reimer, Matthew N.","contributorId":200052,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Reimer","given":"Matthew","email":"","middleInitial":"N.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":744146,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Bond, Craig A.","contributorId":207553,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Bond","given":"Craig","email":"","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[{"id":37563,"text":"RAND Corporation, 1200 S.

Here, new whole-rock and microanalytical major and trace element data from andesite-dacite lava flows are integrated with previous studies and existing isotopic data, and placed within the framework of a high-resolution chronostratigraphy for Ruapehu volcano (southern Taupo Volcanic Zone, New Zealand). The geochemical evolution of lavas erupted over the ∼200 kyr lifetime of the exposed edifice reflects variable degrees of fractionation and systematic changes in the type of crustal assimilation in the Ruapehu magma system. Lavas erupted from ∼200–150 ka have previously been distinguished from those erupted &lt;150 ka based on Sr-Nd isotopic characteristics, which indicate that the oldest lavas were sourced from magmas that assimilated oceanic crust. Such source rocks underlie the regionally widespread Mesozoic meta-sedimentary greywacke-argillite basement, which was conversely assimilated by &lt;150 ka magmas. New results from this work reveal that since 150 ka, an upper limit of magma differentiation occurred from ∼50–35 ka. High K<sub>2</sub>O (∼6 wt%) and Rb contents (∼270 ppm) in melt inclusions, interstitial glass, and glass from in situ quenched melts of partially fused crustal xenoliths are reported for andesite-dacite lavas erupted during this period. In addition to crystal fractionation, selective partial melting and assimilation of K- and Rb-rich mineral phases (e.g., biotite, K-feldspar) that are significant components of the meta-sedimentary basement rocks is inferred to explain these geochemical characteristics. These processes coincided also with the effusion of high-MgO andesitedacite lavas that display petrological evidence for mixing between andesite-dacite and more mafic magmas. An influx of hotter mafic magma into the system explains why the extent of crustal assimilation recorded by Ruapehu lavas peaked during the ∼50–35 ka eruptive period. From 26 ka to the present, andesite lavas have reverted to more mafic compositions with less potassic melt inclusion and whole-rock compositions when compared to the ∼50–35 ka lavas. We suggest that the younger lavas assimilated less-enriched melts because fertile phases had been preferentially extracted from the crustal column during earlier magmatism. This scenario of bottom-up heating of the lithosphere and exhaustion of fertile phases due to the progressive intrusion of magma explains the geochemical evolution of Ruapehu lavas. This model may be applicable to other long-lived composite volcanoes of the circum-Pacific continental arcs.</p></div></div>","language":"English","publisher":"GeoScienceWorld","doi":"10.2138/am-2018-6199","usgsCitation":"Conway, C., Gamble, J.A., Wilson, C., Leonard, G.S., Townsend, D.B., and Calvert, A.T., 2018, New petrological, geochemical, and geochronological perspectives on andesite-dacite magma genesis at Ruapehu volcano, New Zealand: American Mineralogist, v. 103, no. 4, p. 565-581, https://doi.org/10.2138/am-2018-6199.","productDescription":"17 p.","startPage":"565","endPage":"581","ipdsId":"IP-093384","costCenters":[{"id":617,"text":"Volcano Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":489946,"rank":0,"type":{"id":41,"text":"Open Access External Repository Page"},"url":"http://hdl.handle.net/10468/7029","text":"External Repository"},{"id":482379,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"New Zealand","otherGeospatial":"Taupo Volcanic Zone","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              173.55101857405305,\n              -37.4048053232264\n            ],\n            [\n              173.55101857405305,\n              -39.65910468474032\n            ],\n            [\n              178.92055474701465,\n              -39.65910468474032\n            ],\n            [\n              178.92055474701465,\n              -37.4048053232264\n            ],\n            [\n              173.55101857405305,\n              -37.4048053232264\n            ]\n          ]\n        ],\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"103","issue":"4","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Conway, Chris E","contributorId":351279,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Conway","given":"Chris E","affiliations":[{"id":27874,"text":"Victoria University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":928305,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Gamble, John A","contributorId":243348,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Gamble","given":"John","email":"","middleInitial":"A","affiliations":[{"id":27874,"text":"Victoria University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":928306,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Wilson, Colin J.N. 0000-0001-7565-0743","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7565-0743","contributorId":205373,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Wilson","given":"Colin J.N.","affiliations":[{"id":37090,"text":"Victoria University: Wellington, New Zealand","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":928307,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Leonard, Graham S.","contributorId":127469,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Leonard","given":"Graham","email":"","middleInitial":"S.","affiliations":[{"id":5111,"text":"GNS Science, New Zealand","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":928308,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Townsend, Dougal B.","contributorId":345555,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Townsend","given":"Dougal","email":"","middleInitial":"B.","affiliations":[{"id":36277,"text":"GNS Science","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":928309,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Calvert, Andrew T. 0000-0001-5237-2218 acalvert@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5237-2218","contributorId":2694,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Calvert","given":"Andrew","email":"acalvert@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"T.","affiliations":[{"id":312,"text":"Geology, Minerals, Energy, and Geophysics Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":617,"text":"Volcano Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":928310,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6}]}}

A remote sensing approach","docAbstract":"<p><span>Spring‐fed wetlands are ecologically important habitats in arid and semi‐arid regions. Springs have been suggested as possible hydrologic refugia from droughts and climate change; however, springs that depend on recent precipitation or snowmelt for recharge may be vulnerable to warming and drought intensification. Springs that are expected to maintain their ecohydrologic function in a warmer, drier climate may be priorities for conservation and restoration. Identifying such springs is difficult because many springs lack hydrologic records of adequate temporal extent and resolution to assess their resilience to water cycle changes. This study demonstrates proof‐of‐concept for the assessment of certain spring types (i.e., helocrene, hypocrene, and hillslope springs) in terms of hydrologic and ecological resilience to climatic water stress using freely available remote‐sensing and climate data. We used the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) from 1985 through 2011 to delineate surface‐moisture zones (SMZs) associated with 39 clusters of 172 springs in a montane sage‐steppe landscape in southeastern Oregon, USA. We developed and synthesized seven NDVI‐based indicators of SMZ resilience to interannual changes in water availability: (1) mean and (2) standard deviation of July NDVI; (3) mean difference in July NDVI and (4) difference in coefficient of variation for July NDVI between each SMZ and its surrounding watershed; (5) response of SMZ July NDVI to 90‐day antecedent precipitation; (6) response of SMZ July NDVI to the previous winter's snowpack; and (7) range of NDVI values from an exceptionally wet year followed by three dry years. Because all resilience indicators were highly inter‐correlated, we derived an overall metric of SMZ resilience using principal components analysis that accounted for 66% of total variance. This overall resilience score was positively correlated with SMZ elevation, slope, mean annual precipitation, and with the number of associated springs. Resilience was greater for SMZs on topographically shaded, north‐facing slopes. Several high‐resilience SMZs were located immediately below persistent snowbanks, suggesting a possible source of steady recharge throughout the growing season. The approach presented here—if combined with field assessments of spring hydrogeology, discharge, and groundwater age—could help identify spring‐fed wetlands that are most likely to serve as hydrologic refugia from climate change.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Wiley","doi":"10.1002/ecs2.2155","usgsCitation":"Cartwright, J.M., and Johnson, H.M., 2018, Springs as hydrologic refugia in a changing climate?

A previous study showed that bigheaded carp detected sound up to 3 kHz but this range is narrower than what has been reported for other ostariophysans. Therefore, silver and bighead carp frequency detection was evaluated in response to 100 Hz to 9 kHz using auditory evoked potentials (AEPs). AEPs were recorded from 100 Hz to 5 kHz.

All three models obtain shaking estimates from the USGS ShakeMap, which is updated and sometimes changes significantly in the hours to days after an earthquake. The Kaikōura earthquake is a particularly valuable event that helps us better understand how changes to the ShakeMap affect the landslide models because the ShakeMap evolved significantly over several weeks as multifault rupture and seismic data were incorporated. We used the detailed landslide inventory available for this event for qualitative landslide model evaluation. We found that once a point source was replaced with an approximate rupture extent in ShakeMap, the landslide models were all successful at roughly identifying the area of highest hazard. This is notable, given that the models are relatively simple, coarse in resolution, and are based solely on input proxies that are globally available. However, all of the models dramatically overpredicted the hazard level, which indicates that improvements can be made. Subsequent updates to the ShakeMap resulted in improvements to model performance by some metrics and declining performance by others. In all cases, details of the ShakeMap strongly controlled the spatial pattern, even when those details were erroneous, such as the inclusion of a fault segment that did not rupture. If maps of landslide hazard are to be used effectively for rapid response, then we need to understand and clearly communicate the control that ShakeMap has over the models and how that typically evolves with time and is (or is not) reflected in reported uncertainties.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Seismological Society of America","doi":"10.1785/0120170297","usgsCitation":"Allstadt, K.E., Jibson, R.W., Thompson, E.M., Massey, C., Wald, D.J., Godt, J.W., and Rengers, F.K., 2018, Improving near‐real‐time coseismic landslide models: Lessons learned from the 2016 Kaikōura, New Zealand, earthquake: Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, v. 108, no. 3B, p. 1649-1664, https://doi.org/10.1785/0120170297.","productDescription":"16 p.","startPage":"1649","endPage":"1664","ipdsId":"IP-093398","costCenters":[{"id":300,"text":"Geologic Hazards Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":355498,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"New Zealand","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              172.5,\n              -43.5\n            ],\n            [\n              174.5,\n              -43.5\n            ],\n            [\n              174.5,\n              -41.5\n            ],\n            [\n              172.5,\n              -41.5\n            ],\n            [\n              172.5,\n              -43.5\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"108","issue":"3B","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":2,"text":"Denver PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2018-03-27","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5b46e5a2e4b060350a15d1ee","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Allstadt, Kate E. 0000-0003-4977-5248 kallstadt@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4977-5248","contributorId":167684,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Allstadt","given":"Kate","email":"kallstadt@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"E.","affiliations":[{"id":300,"text":"Geologic Hazards Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":234,"text":"Earthquake Hazards Program","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":739524,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Jibson, Randall W. 0000-0003-3399-0875 jibson@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3399-0875","contributorId":2985,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Jibson","given":"Randall","email":"jibson@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"W.","affiliations":[{"id":300,"text":"Geologic Hazards Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":739525,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Thompson, Eric M. 0000-0002-6943-4806 emthompson@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6943-4806","contributorId":146592,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Thompson","given":"Eric","email":"emthompson@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[{"id":300,"text":"Geologic Hazards Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":739526,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Massey, Chris","contributorId":206127,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Massey","given":"Chris","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":36277,"text":"GNS Science","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":739527,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Wald, David J. 0000-0002-1454-4514 wald@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1454-4514","contributorId":795,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Wald","given":"David","email":"wald@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[{"id":300,"text":"Geologic Hazards Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":739528,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Godt, Jonathan W. 0000-0002-8737-2493 jgodt@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8737-2493","contributorId":1166,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Godt","given":"Jonathan","email":"jgodt@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"W.","affiliations":[{"id":508,"text":"Office of the AD Hazards","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":300,"text":"Geologic Hazards Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":739529,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6},{"text":"Rengers, Francis K. 0000-0002-1825-0943 frengers@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1825-0943","contributorId":150422,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Rengers","given":"Francis","email":"frengers@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"K.","affiliations":[{"id":300,"text":"Geologic Hazards Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":739530,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":7}]}}

Our description articulates the temporal and spatial extent of our assessment of the UMRS, the relevant historical context, the valued services provided by the system, and the fundamental controlling variables that determine its structure and function. An important objective of developing the system description was to determine the simplest, adequate conceptual understanding of the UMRS. We conceptualize a simplified UMRS as three interconnected subsystems: lotic channels, lentic off-channel areas, and floodplains. By identifying controlling variables within each subsystem, we have developed a shared understanding of the basic structure and function of the UMRS, which will serve as the basis for ongoing quantitative evaluations of factors that likely contribute to the resilience of the UMRS. As we undertake the subsequent elements of a resilience assessment, we anticipate our improved understanding of interactions, feedbacks, and critical thresholds will assist natural resource managers to better recognize the system’s ability to adapt to existing and new stresses.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"E&S","doi":"10.5751/ES-10014-230206","usgsCitation":"Bouska, K.L., Houser, J.N., De Jager, N.R., and Hendrickson, J.S., 2018, Developing a shared understanding of the Upper Mississippi River: the foundation of an ecological resilience assessment: Ecology and Society, v. 23, no. 2, p. 1-6, https://doi.org/10.5751/ES-10014-230206.","productDescription":"Article 6; 19 p.","startPage":"1","endPage":"6","ipdsId":"IP-080369","costCenters":[{"id":606,"text":"Upper Midwest Environmental Sciences Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":460977,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.5751/es-10014-230206","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":353751,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"23","issue":"2","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":15,"text":"Madison PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5afee6ece4b0da30c1bfbf85","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Bouska, Kristen L. 0000-0002-4115-2313 kbouska@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4115-2313","contributorId":178005,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Bouska","given":"Kristen","email":"kbouska@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[{"id":606,"text":"Upper Midwest Environmental Sciences Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":734111,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Houser, Jeffrey N. 0000-0003-3295-3132 jhouser@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3295-3132","contributorId":2769,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Houser","given":"Jeffrey","email":"jhouser@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"N.","affiliations":[{"id":606,"text":"Upper Midwest Environmental Sciences Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":734112,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"De Jager, Nathan R. 0000-0002-6649-4125","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6649-4125","contributorId":104616,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"De Jager","given":"Nathan","email":"","middleInitial":"R.","affiliations":[{"id":606,"text":"Upper Midwest Environmental Sciences Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":734113,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Hendrickson, Jon S.","contributorId":177520,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Hendrickson","given":"Jon","email":"","middleInitial":"S.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":734114,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4}]}}

In this study, we ask to what extent tortoise contact behaviour varies between sexes and seasons, and whether space or burrow-use data can be used to infer contact characteristics consistent with those recorded by proximity loggers. We identified sex and season-biased contact behaviour in both wild and captive populations indicative of female-female avoidance and seasonal male mate-seeking behaviour. Space and burrow-use patterns were informative, but did not always predict the extent of sex or seasonal biases on contact.

Woodpeckers detect decayed wood for cavity placement or foraging, and some species may be capable of detecting trees decayed by specific fungi; however, a mechanism allowing for such specificity remains unidentified. We hypothesized that decay fungi associated with woodpecker cavity sites alter the substrate reflectance in a species-specific manner that is visually discriminable by woodpeckers. We grew 10 species of wood decay fungi from pure cultures on sterile wood substrates of 3 tree species. We then measured the relative reflectance spectra of decayed and control wood wafers and compared them using the receptor noise-limited (RNL) color discrimination model. The RNL model has been used in studies of feather coloration, egg shells, flowers, and fruit to model how the colors of objects appear to birds. Our analyses indicated 6 of 10 decayed substrate/control comparisons were above the threshold of discrimination (i.e., indicating differences discriminable by avian viewers), and 12 of 13 decayed substrate comparisons were also above threshold for a hypothetical woodpecker. We conclude that woodpeckers should be capable of visually detecting decayed wood on trees where bark is absent, and they should also be able to detect visually species-specific differences in wood substrates decayed by fungi used in this study. Our results provide evidence for a visual mechanism by which woodpeckers could identify and select substrates decayed by specific fungi, which has implications for understanding ecologically important woodpecker–fungus interactions.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"The Wilson Ornithological Society","doi":"10.1676/16-171.1","usgsCitation":"O’Daniels, S.T., Kesler, D.C., Mihail, J.D., Webb, E.B., and Werner, S.J., 2018, Visual cues for woodpeckers: light reflectance of decayed wood varies by decay fungus: Wilson Journal of Ornithology, v. 130, no. 1, p. 200-212, https://doi.org/10.1676/16-171.1.","productDescription":"213 p.","startPage":"200","endPage":"212","ipdsId":"IP-077115","costCenters":[{"id":198,"text":"Coop Res Unit Atlanta","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":353776,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"130","issue":"1","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":9,"text":"Reston PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5afee6ece4b0da30c1bfbf81","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"O’Daniels, Sean T.","contributorId":191937,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"O’Daniels","given":"Sean","email":"","middleInitial":"T.","affiliations":[{"id":27683,"text":"Missouri Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit, University of Missouri, Columbia, MO","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":734171,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Kesler, Dylan C.","contributorId":14358,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Kesler","given":"Dylan","email":"","middleInitial":"C.","affiliations":[{"id":6769,"text":"University of Missouri, Columbia, MO","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":734172,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Mihail, Jeanne D.","contributorId":1842,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Mihail","given":"Jeanne","email":"","middleInitial":"D.","affiliations":[{"id":6769,"text":"University of Missouri, Columbia, MO","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":734173,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Webb, Elisabeth B. 0000-0003-3851-6056 ewebb@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3851-6056","contributorId":3981,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Webb","given":"Elisabeth","email":"ewebb@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"B.","affiliations":[{"id":199,"text":"Coop Res Unit Leetown","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":734154,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Werner, Scott J.","contributorId":27149,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Werner","given":"Scott","email":"","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[{"id":12749,"text":"USDA APHIS National Wildlife Research Center, Fort Collins, CO","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":734174,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5}]}}

Almost all of these earthquakes occurred within the highest hazard regions of the 2017 forecast. Even though rates declined over the past 3 years, the short‐term hazard for damaging ground shaking across much of Oklahoma remains at high levels due to continuing high rates of smaller earthquakes that are still hundreds of times higher than at any time in the state’s history. Fine details and variability between the 2016–2018 forecasts are obscured by significant uncertainties in the input model. These short‐term hazard levels are similar to active regions in California.

Low-head dams are a ubiquitous human impact that degrades aquatic ecosystems&nbsp;worldwide. To improve our understanding of how low-head dams impact habitat and associated biodiversity, our research examined complex interactions among three spheres of the total environment. i.e., how low-head dams (</span><i>anthroposphere</i><span>) affect aquatic habitat (</span><span><i>hydrosphere</i></span><span>), and native biodiversity (<i>biosphere</i></span><span><span><span>) in streams and rivers. Creation of lake-like habitats upstream of low-head dams is a well-documented major impact of dams. Alterations downstream of low head dams also have important consequences, but these downstream dam effects are more challenging to detect. In a multidisciplinary field study at five dammed and five undammed sites within the Neosho River basin, KS, we tested hypotheses about two types of habitat sampling (transect and mosaic) and two types of statistical analyses (analysis of covariance and path analysis). We used fish as our example of biodiversity alteration. Our research provided three insights that can aid environmental professionals who seek to conserve and restore fish biodiversity in aquatic ecosystems threatened by human modifications. First, a mosaic approach identified habitat alterations below low-head dams (e.g. increased proportion of riffles) that were not detected using the more commonly-used transect sampling approach. Second, the&nbsp;habitat mosaic<span>&nbsp;</span>approach illustrated how low-head dams reduced natural variation in stream habitat. Third,<span> path analysis,</span></span>&nbsp;a statistical approach that tests indirect effects, showed how dams, habitat, and fish biodiversity interact. Specifically, path analysis revealed that low-head dams increased the proportion of riffle habitat below dams, and, as a result, indirectly increased fish<span> species richness</span></span>. Furthermore, the pool habitat that was created above low-head dams dramatically decreased fish species richness. As we show here, mosaic habitat sampling and path analysis can help conservation practitioners improve science-based management plans for disturbed aquatic systems worldwide.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Elsevier","doi":"10.1016/j.scitotenv.2017.10.272","usgsCitation":"Hitchman, S.M., Mather, M.E., Smith, J.M., and Fencl, J.S., 2018, Habitat mosaics and path analysis can improve biological conservation of aquatic biodiversity in ecosystems with low-head dams: Science of the Total Environment, v. 619-620, p. 221-231, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2017.10.272.","productDescription":"11 p.","startPage":"221","endPage":"231","ipdsId":"IP-087904","costCenters":[{"id":200,"text":"Coop Res Unit Seattle","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":354713,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Kansas","otherGeospatial":"Neosho River","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -97.174072265625,\n              38.19502155795575\n            ],\n            [\n              -95.7568359375,\n              38.19502155795575\n            ],\n            [\n              -95.7568359375,\n              38.7283759182398\n            ],\n            [\n              -97.174072265625,\n              38.7283759182398\n            ],\n            [\n              -97.174072265625,\n              38.19502155795575\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"619-620","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":12,"text":"Tacoma PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5b46e5a2e4b060350a15d1f2","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Hitchman, Sean M.","contributorId":204805,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Hitchman","given":"Sean","email":"","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":737223,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Mather, Martha E. 0000-0003-3027-0215 mather@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3027-0215","contributorId":2580,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Mather","given":"Martha","email":"mather@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"E.","affiliations":[{"id":200,"text":"Coop Res Unit Seattle","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":198,"text":"Coop Res Unit Atlanta","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":737164,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Smith, Joseph M.","contributorId":106712,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Smith","given":"Joseph","email":"","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[{"id":17855,"text":"School of Aquatic and Fishery Sciences, University of Washington, Seattle, WA","active":true,"usgs":false},{"id":6932,"text":"University of Massachusetts, Amherst","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":737224,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Fencl, Jane S.","contributorId":166699,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Fencl","given":"Jane","email":"","middleInitial":"S.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":737225,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4}]}}

Given that Great Bear Lake is one of the largest and deepest freshwater systems in North America, we predicted that Lake Trout intraspecific diversity to be organized along a depth axis within this system. Thus, we investigated whether a deep-water morph of Lake Trout co-existed with four shallow-water morphs previously described in Great Bear Lake. Morphology, neutral genetic variation, isotopic niches, and life-history traits of Lake Trout across depths (0–150 m) were compared among morphs. Due to the propensity of Lake Trout with high levels of morphological diversity to occupy multiple habitat niches, a novel multivariate grouping method using a suite of composite variables was applied in addition to two other commonly used grouping methods to classify individuals. Depth alone did not explain Lake Trout diversity in Great Bear Lake; a distinct fifth deep-water morph was not found. Rather, Lake Trout diversity followed an ecological continuum, with some evidence for adaptation to local conditions in deep-water habitat. Overall, trout caught from deep-water showed low levels of genetic and phenotypic differentiation from shallow-water trout, and displayed higher lipid content (C:N ratio) and occupied a higher trophic level that suggested an potential increase of piscivory (including cannibalism) than the previously described four morphs. Why phenotypic divergence between shallow- and deep-water Lake Trout was low is unknown, especially when the potential for phenotypic variation should be high in deep and large Great Bear Lake. Given that variation in complexity of freshwater environments has dramatic consequences for divergence, variation in the complexity in Great Bear Lake (i.e., shallow being more complex than deep), may explain the observed dichotomy in the expression of intraspecific phenotypic diversity between shallow- vs. deep-water habitats. The ambiguity surrounding mechanisms driving divergence of Lake Trout in Great Bear Lake should be seen as reflective of the highly variable nature of ecological opportunity and divergent natural selection itself.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"PLOS","doi":"10.1371/journal.pone.0193925","usgsCitation":"Chavarie, L., Howland, K.L., Harris, L.N., Hansen, M.J., Harford, W.J., Gallagher, C.P., Baillie, S.M., Malley, B., Tonn, W.M., Muir, A., and Krueger, C., 2018, From top to bottom: Do Lake Trout diversify along a depth gradient in Great Bear Lake, NT, Canada?: PLoS ONE, v. 13, no. 3, p. 1-28, https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0193925.","productDescription":"e0193925; 28 p.","startPage":"1","endPage":"28","ipdsId":"IP-094088","costCenters":[{"id":324,"text":"Great Lakes Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":468876,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0193925","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":353850,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"Canada","state":"Northwest Territories","otherGeospatial":"Great Bear Lake","volume":"13","issue":"3","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":15,"text":"Madison PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2018-03-22","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5afee6ece4b0da30c1bfbf7f","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Chavarie, Louise","contributorId":156227,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Chavarie","given":"Louise","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":6601,"text":"Michigan State University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":734262,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Howland, Kimberly L.","contributorId":72682,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Howland","given":"Kimberly","email":"","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":734263,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Harris, Les N.","contributorId":204527,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Harris","given":"Les","email":"","middleInitial":"N.","affiliations":[{"id":13677,"text":"Fisheries and Oceans Canada","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":734264,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Hansen, Michael J. 0000-0001-8522-3876 michaelhansen@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8522-3876","contributorId":5006,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Hansen","given":"Michael","email":"michaelhansen@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[{"id":324,"text":"Great Lakes Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":734261,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Harford, William J.","contributorId":71078,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Harford","given":"William","email":"","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":734265,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Gallagher, Colin P.","contributorId":204529,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Gallagher","given":"Colin","email":"","middleInitial":"P.","affiliations":[{"id":13677,"text":"Fisheries and Oceans Canada","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":734266,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6},{"text":"Baillie, Shauna M.","contributorId":176176,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Baillie","given":"Shauna","email":"","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":734267,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":7},{"text":"Malley, Brendan","contributorId":204531,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Malley","given":"Brendan","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":13677,"text":"Fisheries and Oceans Canada","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":734268,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":8},{"text":"Tonn, William M.","contributorId":204532,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Tonn","given":"William","email":"","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[{"id":36696,"text":"University of Alberta","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":734269,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":9},{"text":"Muir, Andrew M.","contributorId":103933,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Muir","given":"Andrew M.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":734270,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":10},{"text":"Krueger, Charles C.","contributorId":73131,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Krueger","given":"Charles C.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":734271,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":11}]}}

Our study of sediment cores drilled in the valley indicates that Hinkley Valley was probably a closed playa basin with stream inflow from four directions prior to Mojave River inflow. The Mojave River deposited thick and laterally extensive clastic wedges originating from the southern valley that rapidly filled much of Hinkley Valley. Sedimentary facies representing braided stream, wetland, delta, and lacustrine depositional environments all are found in the basin fill; in some places, the sequence is greater than 74 m (245 ft) thick. The sediment is dated in part by the presence of the ~631 ka Lava Creek B ash bed low in the section, and thus represents sediment deposition after Victorville basin was overtopped by sediment and before the Manix basin began to be filled. Evidently, upstream Victorville basin filled with sediment by about 650 ka, causing the ancestral Mojave River to spill to the Harper and Hinkley basins, and later to Manix basin.</p><p>Initial river sediment overran wetland deposits in many places in southern Hinkley Valley, indicating a rapidly encroaching river system. These sediments were succeeded by a widespread lake (“blue” clay) that includes the Lava Creek B ash bed. Above the lake sediment lies a thick section of interlayered stream sediment, delta and nearshore lake sediment, mudflat and/or playa sediment, and minor lake sediment. This stratigraphic architecture is found throughout the valley, and positions of lake sediment layers indicate a successive northward progression in the closed basin. A thin overlapping sequence at the north end of the valley contains evidence for a younger late Pleistocene lake episode. This late lake episode, and bracketing braided stream deposits of the Mojave River, indicate that the river avulsed through the valley, rather than continuing toward Lake Manix, during the late Pleistocene. Two dextral strike-slip fault zones, the Lockhart and the Mt. General, fold and displace the distinctive stratigraphic units, as well as surficial late Pleistocene and Holocene deposits. The sedimentary architecture and the two fault zones provide a framework for evaluating groundwater flow in Hinkley Valley.</p>","largerWorkType":{"id":4,"text":"Book"},"largerWorkTitle":"Against the current: Mojave River from sink to source; 2018 Desert Symposium Field Guide and Proceedings","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":12,"text":"Conference publication"},"language":"English","publisher":"Desert Symposium Inc.","usgsCitation":"Miller, D., Haddon, E., Langenheim, V., Cyr, A.J., Wan, E., Walkup, L., and Starratt, S.W., 2018, Middle Pleistocene infill of Hinkley Valley by Mojave River sediment and associated lake sediment: Depositional architecture and deformation by strike-slip faults, <i>in</i> Against the current: Mojave River from sink to source; 2018 Desert Symposium Field Guide and Proceedings, p. 58-65.","productDescription":"8 p.","startPage":"58","endPage":"65","ipdsId":"IP-096703","costCenters":[{"id":312,"text":"Geology, Minerals, Energy, and Geophysics Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":354361,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"publishingServiceCenter":{"id":14,"text":"Menlo Park PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5b155d93e4b092d9651e1b70","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Miller, David M. 0000-0003-3711-0441 dmiller@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3711-0441","contributorId":140769,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Miller","given":"David M.","email":"dmiller@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":309,"text":"Geology and Geophysics Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":312,"text":"Geology, Minerals, Energy, and Geophysics Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":735731,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Haddon, Elizabeth 0000-0001-7601-7755 ehaddon@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7601-7755","contributorId":196407,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Haddon","given":"Elizabeth","email":"ehaddon@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":312,"text":"Geology, Minerals, Energy, and Geophysics Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":735732,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Langenheim, Victoria E. 0000-0003-2170-5213 zulanger@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2170-5213","contributorId":151042,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Langenheim","given":"Victoria E.","email":"zulanger@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":312,"text":"Geology, Minerals, Energy, and Geophysics Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":735733,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Cyr, Andrew J. 0000-0003-2293-5395 acyr@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2293-5395","contributorId":3539,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Cyr","given":"Andrew","email":"acyr@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[{"id":312,"text":"Geology, Minerals, Energy, and Geophysics Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":735734,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Wan, Elmira 0000-0002-9255-112X ewan@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9255-112X","contributorId":3434,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Wan","given":"Elmira","email":"ewan@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":312,"text":"Geology, Minerals, Energy, and Geophysics Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":735735,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Walkup, Laura 0000-0002-1962-5364","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1962-5364","contributorId":205009,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Walkup","given":"Laura","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":312,"text":"Geology, Minerals, Energy, and Geophysics Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":735736,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6},{"text":"Starratt, Scott W. 0000-0001-9405-1746 sstarrat@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9405-1746","contributorId":2891,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Starratt","given":"Scott","email":"sstarrat@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"W.","affiliations":[{"id":617,"text":"Volcano Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":312,"text":"Geology, Minerals, Energy, and Geophysics Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":735737,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":7}]}}

We sampled two pelagic fishes from two rivers and two reservoirs and related seasonal and annual hydrology patterns to the recruitment and growth of each species. River and reservoir populations of Freshwater Drum Aplodinotus grunniens reached similar ages (32 and 31, respectively). Likewise, longevity of Gizzard Shad Dorosoma cepedianum between the two systems was also similar (7 and 8 years, respectively). However, both species grew larger in the rivers compared to reservoir residents. Recruitment of Freshwater Drum in reservoirs was negatively related to water retention time (r2=0.59) suggesting moving water through the reservoir was beneficial. Riverine recruitment of Freshwater Drum populations was negatively related to the annual number of flow reversals and positively related to prespawn discharge (r2 = 0.33). Unlike Freshwater Drum, there was no relationship between flow metrics and Gizzard Shad recruitment in reservoirs. However, recruitment of riverine Gizzard Shad was positively related to high flow pulses during the prespawn and spawning seasons (r2 = 0.48). The growth of both species in reservoirs was positively related to the number of days each year that water levels were above the conservation pool. Growth of Freshwater Drum was also negatively related to minimum reservoir summer water levels (r2 = 0.84). Growth of both Freshwater Drum and Gizzard Shad occupying lotic systems was positively related to May (r2 = 0.86) and July discharge (r2 = 0.84), respectively.

We investigated physiological plasticity in the spring body composition of adult female brown bears (</span><i class=\"EmphasisTypeItalic \">Ursus arctos</i><span>) across 4 diverse Alaskan ecosystems. Brown bears are a highly intelligent omnivore with a historic range spanning much of North America, Europe, and Asia. We hypothesized that body mass, fat mass, lean mass, and total caloric content would increase across populations with increasing food resource availability. Throughout their range, brown bears enter a period of torpor during winter months, decreasing their metabolic rate as an adaptation to this period of reduced food availability. They also give birth to and nourish offspring during this time. Due to this specific life history strategy, we further hypothesized that proportional body fat and the proportion of total calories derived from fat would be consistent across populations. Our results supported our first hypothesis: body, fat, and lean masses, and caloric content of bears across populations increased with the quality and abundance of available food. However, the proportional body fat content and proportion of calories from fat differed across populations indicating population-specific strategies to meet the demands of reduced seasonal food availability, offspring production and rearing, and climate as well as some plasticity to respond to environmental change or ecosystem perturbations. Investigations of body condition and energetics benefit from combined assessments of absolute, proportional, and caloric metrics to understand the nuances of brown bear physiological dynamics across and within populations.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Springer","doi":"10.1007/s00300-017-2238-5","usgsCitation":"Hilderbrand, G., Gustine, D., Mangipane, B.A., Joly, K., Leacock, W.,

A goal of the CEAP-Cropland Assessment is to estimate the environmental effects of conservation practices that reduce losses (exports) of soil, nutrients, and pesticides from farmlands to streams and rivers. The assessment approach combines empirical data on reported cropland practices with simulation modeling that compares field-level exports for scenarios “with practices” and “without practices.” </p><p>Conserved, restored, and created wetlands collectively represent conservation practices that can influence sediment and nutrient exports from croplands. However, modeling the role of wetlands within croplands presents some challenges, including the potential for negative impacts of sediment and nutrient inputs on wetland functions. </p><p>This Science Note outlines some preliminary solutions for incorporating wetlands and wetland practices into the CEAP-Cropland modeling framework. First, modeling the effects of wetland practices requires identifying wetland hydrogeomorphic type and accounting for the condition of both the wetland and an adjacent upland zone. Second, modeling is facilitated by classifying wetland-related practices into two functional categories (wetland and upland buffer). Third, simulating practice effects requires alternative field configurations to account for hydrological differences among wetland types.

Application of a rigorous scientific method based on hypothesis testing minimizes unreliable knowledge produced by research. To evaluate the prevalence of scientific rigor in wildlife research, we examined 24 issues of the&nbsp;</span><i>Journal of Wildlife Management</i><span><span>&nbsp;</span>from August 2013 through July 2016. We found 43.9% of studies did not state or imply<span>&nbsp;</span></span><i>a priori</i><span><span>&nbsp;</span>hypotheses, which are necessary to produce reliable knowledge. We posit that this is due, at least in part, to a lack of common understanding of what rigorous science entails, how it produces more reliable knowledge than other forms of interpreting observations, and how research should be designed to maximize inferential strength and usefulness of application. Current primary literature does not provide succinct explanations of the logic behind a rigorous scientific method or readily applicable guidance for employing it, particularly in wildlife biology; we therefore synthesized an overview of the history, philosophy, and logic that define scientific rigor for biological studies. A rigorous scientific method includes 1) generating a research question from theory and prior observations, 2) developing hypotheses (i.e., plausible biological answers to the question), 3) formulating predictions (i.e., facts that must be true if the hypothesis is true), 4) designing and implementing research to collect data potentially consistent with predictions, 5) evaluating whether predictions are consistent with collected data, and 6) drawing inferences based on the evaluation. Explicitly testing<span>&nbsp;</span></span><i>a priori</i><span><span>&nbsp;</span>hypotheses reduces overall uncertainty by reducing the number of plausible biological explanations to only those that are logically well supported. Such research also draws inferences that are robust to idiosyncratic observations and unavoidable human biases. Offering only<span>&nbsp;</span></span><i>post hoc</i><span><span>&nbsp;</span>interpretations of statistical patterns (i.e.,<span>&nbsp;</span></span><i>a posteriori</i><span>hypotheses) adds to uncertainty because it increases the number of plausible biological explanations without determining which have the greatest support. Further,<span>&nbsp;</span></span><i>post hoc</i><span>interpretations are strongly subject to human biases. Testing hypotheses maximizes the credibility of research findings, makes the strongest contributions to theory and management, and improves reproducibility of research. Management decisions based on rigorous research are most likely to result in effective conservation of wildlife resources.<span>&nbsp;</span></span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Wiley","doi":"10.1002/jwmg.21413","usgsCitation":"Sells, S.N., Bassing, S.B., Barker, K.J., Forshee, S.C., Keever, A., Goerz, J.W., and Mitchell, M.S., 2018, Increased scientific rigor will improve reliability of research and effectiveness of management: Journal of Wildlife Management, v. 82, no. 3, p. 485-494, https://doi.org/10.1002/jwmg.21413.","productDescription":"10 p.","startPage":"485","endPage":"494","ipdsId":"IP-091041","costCenters":[{"id":200,"text":"Coop Res Unit Seattle","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":468873,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/jwmg.21413","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":354011,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"82","issue":"3","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":12,"text":"Tacoma PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2018-01-14","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5afee6ece4b0da30c1bfbf75","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Sells, Sarah N.","contributorId":171706,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Sells","given":"Sarah","email":"","middleInitial":"N.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":734896,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Bassing, Sarah B.","contributorId":198688,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Bassing","given":"Sarah","email":"","middleInitial":"B.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":734897,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Barker, Kristin J.","contributorId":204755,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Barker","given":"Kristin","email":"","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":734898,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Forshee, Shannon C.","contributorId":204756,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Forshee","given":"Shannon","email":"","middleInitial":"C.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":734899,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Keever, Allison","contributorId":187743,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Keever","given":"Allison","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":734900,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Goerz, James W.","contributorId":204757,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Goerz","given":"James","email":"","middleInitial":"W.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":734901,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6},{"text":"Mitchell, Michael S. 0000-0002-0773-6905 mmitchel@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0773-6905","contributorId":3716,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Mitchell","given":"Michael","email":"mmitchel@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"S.","affiliations":[{"id":200,"text":"Coop Res Unit Seattle","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":734889,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":7}]}}

However, in long—fire-suppressed landscapes, such as the central and southern Appalachians, it is unknown how bats will respond to prescribed fire in both riparian and upland forest habitats. To address these concerns, we conducted zero-crossing acoustic surveys of bat activity in burned, unburned, riparian, and non-riparian areas in the central Appalachians, Virginia, USA. Burn and riparian variables had model support (ΔAICc &lt; 4) to explain activity of all bat species. Nonetheless, parameter estimates for these conditions were small and confidence intervals overlapped zero for all species, indicating effect sizes were marginal. Our results suggest that bats respond to fire differently between upland and riparian forest habitats, but overall, large landscape-level prescribed fire has a slightly positive to neutral impact on all bats species identified at our study site post—fire application.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Natural Areas Association","doi":"10.3375/043.038.0208","usgsCitation":"Austin, L.V., Silvis, A., Ford, W., Muthersbaugh, M., and Powers, K.E., 2018, Bat activity following restoration prescribed burning in the central Appalachian Upland and riparian habitats: Natural Areas Journal, v. 38, no. 2, p. 183-195, https://doi.org/10.3375/043.038.0208.","productDescription":"13 p.","startPage":"183","endPage":"195","ipdsId":"IP-090018","costCenters":[{"id":199,"text":"Coop Res Unit Leetown","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":468869,"rank":0,"type":{"id":41,"text":"Open Access External Repository Page"},"url":"http://hdl.handle.net/10919/99326","text":"External Repository"},{"id":354216,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Virginia","county":"Bath County","otherGeospatial":"George Washington National Forest","volume":"38","issue":"2","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":9,"text":"Reston PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5afee6ebe4b0da30c1bfbf6f","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Austin, Lauren V.","contributorId":204944,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Austin","given":"Lauren","email":"","middleInitial":"V.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":735519,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Silvis, Alexander","contributorId":171585,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Silvis","given":"Alexander","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":26923,"text":"Virginia Polytechnic Institute, Blacksburg, VA","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":735520,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Ford, W.
