We surveyed 138 randomly selected sample sites over 4 occasions each year and identified 199 pairs of eagles, 100 of which were detected in focal sample sites. We then used dynamic multistate modeling to identify relationships between site occupancy and reproduction of Golden Eagles relative to spatial variability in landscape composition and drought conditions. We observed little variability among years in site occupancy (3-yr mean = 0.74), but the estimated annual probability of successful reproduction was relatively low during the study period and declined from 0.39 (± 0.08 SE) to 0.18 (± 0.07 SE). Probabilities of site occupancy and reproduction were substantially greater at sample sites that were occupied by successful breeders in the previous year, indicating the presence of sites that were consistently used by successfully reproducing eagles. We found strong evidence for nonrandom spatial distribution in both occupancy and reproduction: Sites with the greatest potential for occupancy were characterized by rugged terrain conditions with intermediate amounts of grassland interspersed with patches of oak woodland and coniferous forest, whereas successful reproduction was most strongly associated with the amount of precipitation that a site received during the nesting period. Our findings highlight the contribution of consistently occupied and productive breeding sites to overall productivity of the local breeding population, and show that both occupancy and reproduction at these sites were maintained even during a period of exceptional drought. Our approach to quantifying and mapping site quality should be especially useful for the spatial prioritization of compensation measures intended to help offset the impacts of increasing human land use and development on Golden Eagles and their habitats.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"American Ornithological Society","doi":"10.1650/CONDOR-17-96.1","usgsCitation":"Wiens, D., Kolar, P., Hunt, W.G., Hunt, T., Fuller, M.R., and Bell, D., 2018, Spatial patterns in occupancy and reproduction of Golden Eagles during drought: Prospects for conservation in changing environments: The Condor, v. 120, no. 1, p. 106-124, https://doi.org/10.1650/CONDOR-17-96.1.","productDescription":"19 p.","startPage":"106","endPage":"124","ipdsId":"IP-087249","costCenters":[{"id":290,"text":"Forest and Rangeland Ecosystem Science Center","active":false,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":469072,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1650/condor-17-96.1","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":351376,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"California","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -122.33,\n              37\n            ],\n            [\n              -121,\n              37\n            ],\n            [\n              -121,\n              38.05674222065296\n            ],\n            [\n              -122.33,\n              38.05674222065296\n            ],\n            [\n              -122.33,\n              37\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"120","issue":"1","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":12,"text":"Tacoma PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5a7d6ffce4b00f54eb244199","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Wiens, David 0000-0002-2020-038X jwiens@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2020-038X","contributorId":167538,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Wiens","given":"David","email":"jwiens@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":290,"text":"Forest and Rangeland Ecosystem Science Center","active":false,"usgs":true},{"id":289,"text":"Forest and Rangeland Ecosys Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":727883,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Kolar, Patrick 0000-0002-0076-7565 pkolar@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0076-7565","contributorId":189512,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Kolar","given":"Patrick","email":"pkolar@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":290,"text":"Forest and Rangeland Ecosystem Science Center","active":false,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":727884,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Hunt, W.

In this literature review, we describe how that concern led to a landmark conservation agreement in 1916, between the United States and Great Britain (on behalf of Canada) to conserve migratory birds shared by Canada and the United States. Drawing on published literature and our personal experience, we describe how subsequent enabling acts in both countries gave rise to efforts to better estimate population sizes and distributions, assess harvest rates and demographic impacts, design and fund landscape-level habitat conservation initiatives, and organize necessary political and regulatory processes. Executing these steps required large-scale thinking, unprecedented regional and international cooperation, ingenuity, and a commitment to scientific rigor and adaptive management. We applaud the conservation efforts begun 100 years ago with the Migratory Bird Treaty Convention. The agreement helped build the field of wildlife ecology and conservation in the twentieth century but only partially prepares us for the ecological and social challenges ahead.&nbsp;</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Wiley","doi":"10.1002/jwmg.21326","usgsCitation":"Anderson, M.G., Alisauskas, R., Batt, B., Blohm, R.J., Higgins, K.F., Perry, M., Ringelman, J.K., Sedinger, J.S., Serie, J.R., Sharp, D.E., Trauger, D.L., and Williams, C.K., 2018, The migratory bird treaty and a century of waterfowl conservation: Journal of Wildlife Management, v. 82, p. 247-259, https://doi.org/10.1002/jwmg.21326.","productDescription":"13 p.","startPage":"247","endPage":"259","ipdsId":"IP-087705","costCenters":[{"id":531,"text":"Patuxent Wildlife Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":351421,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"82","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":10,"text":"Baltimore PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2017-08-24","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5a7ec172e4b00f54eb25a756","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Anderson, Michael G.","contributorId":202239,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Anderson","given":"Michael","email":"","middleInitial":"G.","affiliations":[{"id":36382,"text":"Institute For Wetland And Waterfowl Research, Ducks Unlimited  Canada, Stonewall, Mb R0c 2z0, Canada","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":727992,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Alisauskas, Ray T.","contributorId":202240,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Alisauskas","given":"Ray T.","affiliations":[{"id":36383,"text":"Environment And Climate Change Canada, Prairie And Northern  Research Center; 115 Perimeter Road, Saskatoon, Sk S7n 0x4, Canada","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":727993,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Batt, Bruce D.

Most research on lesser prairie‐chickens has focused on the breeding season, with little research conducted during the nonbreeding season, a period that exerts a strong influence on demography in other upland game birds. We trapped lesser prairie‐chickens on leks and marked them with either global positioning system (GPS) satellite or very high frequency (VHF) transmitters to estimate survival and home‐range size during the nonbreeding season. We monitored 119 marked lesser prairie‐chickens in 3 study areas in Kansas, USA, from 16 September to 14 March in 2013, 2014, and 2015. We estimated home‐range size using Brownian Bridge movement models (GPS transmitters) and fixed kernel density estimators (VHF transmitters), and female survival using Kaplan–Meier known‐fate models. Average home‐range size did not differ between sexes.

Mechanistic models seeking to represent these complex dynamics require detailed SOC compositions, which are currently difficult to characterize quantitatively. Here, we address this challenge by using a novel approach that combines Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and bulk carbon X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) to determine the abundance of SOC functional groups, using elemental analysis (EA) to constrain the total amount of SOC. We used this SOC functional group abundance (SOC-fga) method to compare variability in SOC compositions as a function of depth across a subalpine watershed (East River, Colorado, USA) and found a large degree of variability in SOC functional group abundances between sites at different elevations. Soils at a lower elevation are predominantly composed of polysaccharides, while soils at a higher elevation have more substantial portions of carbonyl, phenolic, or aromatic carbon. We discuss the potential drivers of differences in SOC composition between these sites, including vegetation inputs, internal processing and losses, and elevation-driven environmental factors. Although numerical models would facilitate the understanding and evaluation of the observed SOC distributions, quantitative and meaningful measurements of SOC molecular compositions are required to guide such models. Comparison among commonly used characterization techniques on shared reference materials is a critical next step for advancing our understanding of the complex processes controlling SOC compositions.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"MDPI","doi":"10.3390/soils2010006","usgsCitation":"Hsu, H., Lawrence, C.R., Winnick, M.J., Bargar, J.R., and Maher, K., 2018, A molecular investigation of soil organic carbon composition across a subalpine catchment: Soil Systems, v. 2, no. 1, p. 1-23, https://doi.org/10.3390/soils2010006.","productDescription":"Article 6; 23 p.","startPage":"1","endPage":"23","ipdsId":"IP-088725","costCenters":[{"id":318,"text":"Geosciences and Environmental Change Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":469067,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/soils2010006","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":351525,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"2","issue":"1","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":2,"text":"Denver PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2018-02-01","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5afee743e4b0da30c1bfc207","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Hsu, Hsiao-Tieh","contributorId":202391,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Hsu","given":"Hsiao-Tieh","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":6986,"text":"Stanford University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":728306,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Lawrence, Corey R. 0000-0001-6143-7781","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6143-7781","contributorId":202390,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Lawrence","given":"Corey","email":"","middleInitial":"R.","affiliations":[{"id":318,"text":"Geosciences and Environmental Change Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":728305,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Winnick, Matthew J.","contributorId":202392,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Winnick","given":"Matthew","email":"","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[{"id":6986,"text":"Stanford University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":728307,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Bargar, John R.","contributorId":14970,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Bargar","given":"John","email":"","middleInitial":"R.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":728308,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Maher, Katharine","contributorId":46004,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Maher","given":"Katharine","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":728309,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5}]}}

We discovered that Chinook salmon sort themselves into surface- and bottom-oriented groups in tanks within days after exogenous feeding. We hypothesised that this behaviour is correlated with subsequent differences in body morphology and growth (as measured by final length and mass) observed later in life. We found consistent morphological differences between surface and bottom phenotypes. Furthermore, we found that surface and bottom orientation within each group is maintained for at least one year after the phenotypes were separated. These surface and bottom phenotypes are expressed across genetic stocks, brood years, and laboratories and we show that the proportion of surface- and bottom-oriented offspring also differed among families. Importantly, feed delivery location did not affect morphology or growth, and the surface fish were longer than bottom fish at the end of the rearing experiment. The body shape of the former correlates with wild individuals that rear in mainstem habitats and migrate in the fall as subyearlings and the latter resemble those that remain in the upper tributaries and migrate as yearling spring migrants. Our findings suggest that early self-sorting behaviour may have a genetic basis and be correlated with other phenotypic traits that are important indicators for juvenile migration timing.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Springer","doi":"10.1007/s10641-017-0702-2","usgsCitation":"Unrein, J.R., Billman, E., Cogliati, K.M., Chitwood, R.S., Noakes, D.L., and Schreck, C.B., 2018, Vertical self-sorting behavior in juvenile Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha): evidence for family differences and variation in growth and morphology: Environmental Biology of Fishes, v. 101, no. 2, p. 341-353, https://doi.org/10.1007/s10641-017-0702-2.","productDescription":"13 p.","startPage":"341","endPage":"353","ipdsId":"IP-066132","costCenters":[{"id":200,"text":"Coop Res Unit Seattle","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":354285,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"101","issue":"2","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":12,"text":"Tacoma PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2017-12-02","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5afee740e4b0da30c1bfc1c9","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Unrein, Julia R.","contributorId":172777,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Unrein","given":"Julia","email":"","middleInitial":"R.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":735726,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Billman, E.J.","contributorId":172038,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Billman","given":"E.J.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":735727,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Cogliati, Karen M.","contributorId":200086,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Cogliati","given":"Karen","email":"","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":735728,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Chitwood, Rob S.","contributorId":172779,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Chitwood","given":"Rob","email":"","middleInitial":"S.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":735729,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Noakes, David L.

Often, the value of an environmental variable may influence significantly the upper or lower tails of the activity distribution. For describing relationships with heterogeneous boundaries, quantile regressions predict a quantile of the conditional distribution of the dependent variable. A quantile count model extends linear quantile regression methods to discrete response variables, and is useful if activity is quantified by trapping, where there may be many tied (equal) values in the activity distribution, over a small range of discrete values. Additionally, different environmental variables in combination may have synergistic or antagonistic effects on activity, so examining their effects together, in a modeling framework, is a useful approach. Thus, model selection on quantile counts can be used to determine the relative importance of different variables in determining activity, across the entire distribution of capture results. We conducted model selection on quantile count models to describe the factors affecting activity (numbers of captures) of cane toads (</span><i>Rhinella marina</i><span>) in response to several environmental variables (humidity, temperature, rainfall, wind speed, and moon luminosity) over eleven months of trapping. Environmental effects on activity are understudied in this pest animal. In the dry season, model selection on quantile count models suggested that rainfall positively affected activity, especially near the lower tails of the activity distribution. In the wet season, wind speed limited activity near the maximum of the distribution, while minimum activity increased with minimum temperature. This statistical methodology allowed us to explore, in depth, how environmental factors influenced activity across the entire distribution, and is applicable to any survey or trapping regime, in which environmental variables affect activity.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Ecological Society of America","doi":"10.1002/ecs2.2067","usgsCitation":"Muller, B.J., Cade, B.S., and Schwarzkoph, L., 2018, Effects of environmental variables on invasive amphibian activity: Using model selection on quantiles for counts: Ecosphere, v. 9, no. 1, p. 1-14, https://doi.org/10.1002/ecs2.2067.","productDescription":"Article e02067; 14 p.","startPage":"1","endPage":"14","ipdsId":"IP-092621","costCenters":[{"id":291,"text":"Fort Collins Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":469073,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/ecs2.2067","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":351611,"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":"2018-01-05","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5afee743e4b0da30c1bfc203","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Muller, Benjamin J.","contributorId":202492,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Muller","given":"Benjamin","email":"","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[{"id":36457,"text":"Centre for Tropical Biodiversity and Climate Change, James Cook University, Townsville, Quensland, Australia","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":728565,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Cade, Brian S. 0000-0001-9623-9849 cadeb@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9623-9849","contributorId":1278,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Cade","given":"Brian","email":"cadeb@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"S.","affiliations":[{"id":291,"text":"Fort Collins Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":728564,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Schwarzkoph, Lin","contributorId":202493,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Schwarzkoph","given":"Lin","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":36458,"text":"College of Science and Engineering, James Cook University, Townsville, Queensland, Australia","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":728566,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3}]}}

All share a common digestive system called hindgut fermentation, or cecal digestion (in the cecum), and can consume relatively tough, coarse forage. Some perissodactyls are “browsers” that forage primarily on woody shrubs and trees, whereas others are “grazers” with a graminoid-dominated diet.

These species nest sympatrically at East Sand Island in the Columbia River estuary at the border of Oregon and Washington states, USA. Breeding individuals of each species were tracked using GPS tags with integrated temperature and depth data-loggers. The overall foraging areas and core foraging areas (defined as the 95% and 50% kernel density estimates of dive locations, respectively) of double-crested cormorants were much larger and covered a broader range of riverine, mixed-estuarine, and nearshore marine habitats. Brandt’s cormorant foraging areas were less expansive, were exclusively marine, and mostly overlapped with double-crested cormorant foraging areas. Within these areas of overlap, Brandt’s cormorants tended to dive deeper (median depth = 6.48 m) than double-crested cormorants (median depth = 2.67 m), and selected dive locations where the water was deeper. Brandt’s cormorants also utilized a deeper, more benthic portion of the water column than did double-crested cormorants. Nevertheless, the substantial overlap in foraging habitat between the 2 cormorant species in the Columbia River estuary, particularly for Brandt’s cormorants, suggests that superabundant prey resources allow these 2 large and productive cormorant colonies to coexist on a single island near the mouth of the Columbia River.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Inter-Research","doi":"10.3354/meps12407","usgsCitation":"Peck-Richardson, A.G., Lyons, D.E., Roby, D.D., Cushing, D.A., and Lerczak, J.A., 2018, Three-dimensional foraging habitat use and niche partitioning in two sympatric seabird species, Phalacrocorax auritus and P. penicillatus: Marine Ecology Progress Series, v. 586, p. 251-264, https://doi.org/10.3354/meps12407.","productDescription":"14 p.","startPage":"251","endPage":"264","ipdsId":"IP-087206","costCenters":[{"id":200,"text":"Coop Res Unit Seattle","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":353941,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"586","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":12,"text":"Tacoma PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5afee740e4b0da30c1bfc1cd","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Peck-Richardson, Adam G.","contributorId":204662,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Peck-Richardson","given":"Adam","email":"","middleInitial":"G.","affiliations":[{"id":13016,"text":"Department of Fisheries and Wildlife, Oregon State University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":734610,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Lyons, Donald E.","contributorId":204663,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Lyons","given":"Donald","email":"","middleInitial":"E.","affiliations":[{"id":13016,"text":"Department of Fisheries and Wildlife, Oregon State University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":734611,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Roby, Daniel D. 0000-0001-9844-0992 droby@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9844-0992","contributorId":3702,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Roby","given":"Daniel","email":"droby@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"D.","affiliations":[{"id":200,"text":"Coop Res Unit Seattle","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":734609,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Cushing, Daniel A.","contributorId":204664,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Cushing","given":"Daniel","email":"","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[{"id":13016,"text":"Department of Fisheries and Wildlife, Oregon State University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":734612,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Lerczak, James A.","contributorId":204665,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Lerczak","given":"James","email":"","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[{"id":12961,"text":"College of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences, Oregon State University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":734613,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5}]}}

The leaching of the active ingredients associated with the seed coatings and the sorption to soil was evaluated under laboratory conditions using commercially available corn and soybean seeds to study the fate and transport of these pesticides under controlled conditions. The active ingredients (AI) included one neonicotinoid insecticide (thiamethoxam) and five fungicides (azoxystrobin, fludioxonil, metalaxyl, sedaxane thiabendazole). An aqueous leaching experiment was conducted with treated corn and soybean seeds. Leaching potential was a function of solubility and seed type. The leaching of fludioxonil, was dependent on seed type with a shorter time to equilibrium on the corn compared to the soybean seeds. Sorption experiments with the treated seeds and a solution of the AIs were conducted using three different soil types. Sorption behavior was a function of soil organic matter as well as seed type. For most AIs, a negative relationship was observed between the aqueous concentration and the log K</span><sub>oc</sub><span>. Sorption to all soils tested was limited for the hydrophilic pesticides thiamethoxam and metalaxyl. However, partitioning for the more hydrophobic fungicides was dependent on both seed type and soil properties. The mobility of fludioxonil in the sorption experiment varied by seed type indicating that the adjuvants associated with the seed coating could potentially play a role in the environmental fate of fludioxonil. This is the first study to assess, under laboratory conditions, the fate of pesticides associated with seed coatings using commercially available treated seeds. This information can be used to understand how alterations in agricultural practices (e.g., increasing use of seed treatments) can impact the exposure (concentration and duration) and potential effects of these chemicals to aquatic and terrestrial organisms.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Taylor & Francis","doi":"10.1080/03601234.2017.1405619","usgsCitation":"Smalling, K.L., Hladik, M., Sanders, C., and Kuivila, K., 2018, Leaching and sorption of neonicotinoid insecticides and fungicides from seed coatings: Journal of Environmental Science and Health - Part B Pesticides, Food Contaminants, and Agricultural Wastes, v. 53, no. 3, p. 176-183, https://doi.org/10.1080/03601234.2017.1405619.","productDescription":"8 p.","startPage":"176","endPage":"183","ipdsId":"IP-087334","costCenters":[{"id":154,"text":"California Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":470,"text":"New Jersey Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":351884,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"53","issue":"3","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":10,"text":"Baltimore PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2017-12-29","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5afee742e4b0da30c1bfc1fb","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Smalling, Kelly L. 0000-0002-1214-4920 ksmall@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1214-4920","contributorId":190789,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Smalling","given":"Kelly","email":"ksmall@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[{"id":470,"text":"New Jersey Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":729222,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Hladik, Michelle L. 0000-0002-0891-2712 mhladik@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0891-2712","contributorId":201293,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Hladik","given":"Michelle L.","email":"mhladik@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":154,"text":"California Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":729223,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Sanders, Corey 0000-0001-7743-6396","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7743-6396","contributorId":202646,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Sanders","given":"Corey","affiliations":[{"id":154,"text":"California Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":729224,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Kuivila, Kathryn 0000-0001-7940-489X kkuivila@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7940-489X","contributorId":190790,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Kuivila","given":"Kathryn","email":"kkuivila@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":154,"text":"California Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":518,"text":"Oregon Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":729225,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4}]}}

Erythrocytic inclusions consistent with Heinz bodies were present almost exclusively in birds from sites impacted with oil, a finding pathognomonic for oxidative injury to erythrocytes. Average packed cell volumes were 4 to 19% lower and average reticulocyte counts were 27 to 40% higher in birds with visible external oil than birds from reference sites. These findings provide evidence that small amounts of external oil exposure are associated with hemolytic anemia. Furthermore, we found that some birds captured from the area impacted by the spill but with no visible oiling also had erythrocytic inclusion bodies, increased reticulocytes, and reduced packed cell volumes when compared with birds from reference sites. Thus, birds suffered hematologic injury despite no visible oil at the time of capture. Together, these findings suggest that adverse effects of oil spills on birds may be more widespread than estimates based on avian mortality or severe visible oiling.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry","doi":"10.1002/etc.3983","usgsCitation":"Fallon, J.A., Smith, E.P., Schoch, N., Paruk, J.D., Adams, E.A., Evers, D.C., Jodice, P.G., Perkins, C., Schulte, S., and Hopkins, W., 2018, Hematological indices of injury to lightly oiled birds from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill: Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, v. 37, no. 2, p. 451-461, https://doi.org/10.1002/etc.3983.","productDescription":"11 p.","startPage":"451","endPage":"461","ipdsId":"IP-080696","costCenters":[{"id":198,"text":"Coop Res Unit Atlanta","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":353896,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"37","issue":"2","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":9,"text":"Reston PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2018-02-01","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5afee740e4b0da30c1bfc1d1","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Fallon, Jesse A.","contributorId":177315,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Fallon","given":"Jesse","email":"","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":734466,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Smith, Eric P.","contributorId":204598,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Smith","given":"Eric","email":"","middleInitial":"P.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":734467,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Schoch, Nina","contributorId":101988,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Schoch","given":"Nina","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":734468,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Paruk, James D.","contributorId":127670,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Paruk","given":"James","email":"","middleInitial":"D.","affiliations":[{"id":6928,"text":"BioDiversity Research Institute, Gorham, ME 04038","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":734469,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Adams, Evan A.","contributorId":204599,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Adams","given":"Evan","email":"","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":734470,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Evers, David C.","contributorId":96160,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Evers","given":"David","email":"","middleInitial":"C.","affiliations":[{"id":6928,"text":"BioDiversity Research Institute, Gorham, ME 04038","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":734471,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6},{"text":"Jodice, Patrick G.R. 0000-0001-8716-120X pjodice@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8716-120X","contributorId":200009,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Jodice","given":"Patrick","email":"pjodice@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"G.R.","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":734425,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":7},{"text":"Perkins, Christopher","contributorId":204600,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Perkins","given":"Christopher","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":734472,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":8},{"text":"Schulte, Shiloh A.","contributorId":39911,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Schulte","given":"Shiloh A.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":734473,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":9},{"text":"Hopkins, William A.","contributorId":201553,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Hopkins","given":"William A.","affiliations":[{"id":12694,"text":"Virginia Tech","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":734474,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":10}]}}

Thus, there is a need to develop statistical methods that explicitly incorporate expert knowledge, and can successfully leverage this information while properly accounting for associated uncertainty during analysis. Studies of cause-specific mortality provide an example of implicit use of expert knowledge when causes-of-death are uncertain and assigned based on the observer's knowledge of the most likely cause. To explicitly incorporate this use of expert knowledge and the associated uncertainty, we developed a statistical model for estimating cause-specific mortality using a data augmentation approach within a Bayesian hierarchical framework. Specifically, for each mortality event, we elicited the observer's belief of cause-of-death by having them specify the probability that the death was due to each potential cause. These probabilities were then used as prior predictive values within our framework. This hierarchical framework permitted a simple and rigorous estimation method that was easily modified to include covariate effects and regularizing terms. Although applied to survival analysis, this method can be extended to any event-time analysis with multiple event types, for which there is uncertainty regarding the true outcome. We conducted simulations to determine how our framework compared to traditional approaches that use expert knowledge implicitly and assume that cause-of-death is specified accurately. Simulation results supported the inclusion of observer uncertainty in cause-of-death assignment in modeling of cause-specific mortality to improve model performance and inference. Finally, we applied the statistical model we developed and a traditional method to cause-specific survival data for white-tailed deer, and compared results. We demonstrate that model selection results changed between the two approaches, and incorporating observer knowledge in cause-of-death increased the variability associated with parameter estimates when compared to the traditional approach. These differences between the two approaches can impact reported results, and therefore, it is critical to explicitly incorporate expert knowledge in statistical methods to ensure rigorous inference.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Wiley","doi":"10.1002/ece3.3701","usgsCitation":"Walsh, D.P., Norton, A.S., Storm, D.J., Van Deelen, T.R., and Heisy, D.M., 2018, Using expert knowledge to incorporate uncertainty in cause-of-death assignments for modeling of cause-specific mortality: Ecology and Evolution, v. 8, no. 1, p. 509-520, https://doi.org/10.1002/ece3.3701.","productDescription":"12 p.","startPage":"509","endPage":"520","ipdsId":"IP-090309","costCenters":[{"id":456,"text":"National Wildlife Health Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":461055,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/ece3.3701","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":350936,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"8","issue":"1","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":15,"text":"Madison PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2017-11-30","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5a74357de4b0a9a2e9e25c72","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Walsh, Daniel P. 0000-0002-7772-2445 dwalsh@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7772-2445","contributorId":4758,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Walsh","given":"Daniel","email":"dwalsh@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"P.","affiliations":[{"id":456,"text":"National Wildlife Health Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":726489,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Norton, Andrew S.","contributorId":171631,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Norton","given":"Andrew","email":"","middleInitial":"S.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":726490,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Storm, Daniel J.","contributorId":171373,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Storm","given":"Daniel","email":"","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[{"id":24576,"text":"University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":726491,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Van Deelen, Timothy R.","contributorId":145413,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Van Deelen","given":"Timothy","email":"","middleInitial":"R.","affiliations":[{"id":7122,"text":"University of Wisconsin","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":726492,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Heisy, Dennis M.","contributorId":201572,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Heisy","given":"Dennis","email":"","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[{"id":36206,"text":"Retired","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":726493,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5}]}}

Since stress often reduces plant productivity, one might expect a pattern of decreasing productivity across the zones of the stress gradient. However, this pattern is often not observed in coastal wetlands that show patterns of zonation along a salinity gradient. To address the potentially complex relationship between stress, zonation, and productivity in coastal wetlands, we developed a model of plant biomass as a function of resource competition and salinity stress. Analysis of the model confirms the conventional wisdom that a trade-off between competitive ability and stress tolerance is a necessary condition for zonation. It also suggests that a negative relationship between salinity and production can be overcome if (1) the supply of the limiting resource increases with greater salinity stress or (2) nutrient use efficiency increases with increasing salinity. We fit the equilibrium solution of the dynamic model to data from Louisiana coastal wetlands to test its ability to explain patterns of production across the landscape gradient and derive predictions that could be tested with independent data. We found support for a number of the model predictions, including patterns of decreasing competitive ability and increasing nutrient use efficiency across a gradient from freshwater to saline wetlands. In addition to providing a quantitative framework to support the mechanistic hypotheses of zonation, these results suggest that this simple model is a useful platform to further build upon, simulate and test mechanistic hypotheses of more complex patterns and phenomena in coastal wetlands.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Ecological Society of America","doi":"10.1002/ecy.2131","usgsCitation":"Schoolmaster, D., and Stagg, C.L., 2018, Resource competition model predicts zonation and increasing nutrient use efficiency along a wetland salinity gradient: Ecology, v. 99, no. 3, p. 670-680, https://doi.org/10.1002/ecy.2131.","productDescription":"11 p.","startPage":"670","endPage":"680","ipdsId":"IP-089350","costCenters":[{"id":17705,"text":"Wetland and Aquatic Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":350913,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Louisiana","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -95.09765625,\n              28.459033019728043\n            ],\n            [\n              -88.330078125,\n              28.459033019728043\n            ],\n            [\n              -88.330078125,\n              31.11879439598953\n            ],\n            [\n              -95.09765625,\n              31.11879439598953\n            ],\n            [\n              -95.09765625,\n              28.459033019728043\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"99","issue":"3","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":5,"text":"Lafayette PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2018-01-30","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5a74357fe4b0a9a2e9e25c78","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Schoolmaster, Donald 0000-0003-0910-4458 schoolmasterd@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0910-4458","contributorId":156350,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Schoolmaster","given":"Donald","email":"schoolmasterd@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":17705,"text":"Wetland and Aquatic Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":455,"text":"National Wetlands Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":726426,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Stagg, Camille L. 0000-0002-1125-7253 staggc@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1125-7253","contributorId":4111,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Stagg","given":"Camille","email":"staggc@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[{"id":455,"text":"National Wetlands Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":17705,"text":"Wetland and Aquatic Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":726427,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}}

The complexity of Hg in the environment can hinder accurate determination of ecological and human health risks, particularly within the context of the rapid global changes that are altering many ecological processes, socioeconomic patterns, and other factors like infectious disease incidence, which can affect Hg exposures and health outcomes. However, the success of global Hg-reduction efforts depends on accurate assessments of their effectiveness in reducing health risks. In this paper, we examine the role that key extrinsic and intrinsic drivers play on several aspects of Hg risk to humans and organisms in the environment. We do so within three key domains of ecological and human health risk. First, we examine how extrinsic global change drivers influence pathways of Hg bioaccumulation and biomagnification through food webs. Next, we describe how extrinsic socioeconomic drivers at a global scale, and intrinsic individual-level drivers, influence human Hg exposure. Finally, we address how the adverse health effects of Hg in humans and wildlife are modulated by a range of extrinsic and intrinsic drivers within the context of rapid global change. Incorporating components of these three domains into research and monitoring will facilitate a more holistic understanding of how ecological and societal drivers interact to influence Hg health risks.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Springer","doi":"10.1007/s13280-017-1011-x","usgsCitation":"Eagles-Smith, C.A., Silbergeld, E.K., Basu, N., Bustamante, P., Diaz-Barriga, F., Hopkins, W., Kidd, K.A., and Nyland, J.F., 2018, Modulators of mercury risk to wildlife and humans in the context of rapid global change: Ambio, v. 47, no. 2, p. 170-197, https://doi.org/10.1007/s13280-017-1011-x.","productDescription":"18 p.","startPage":"170","endPage":"197","ipdsId":"IP-091232","costCenters":[{"id":290,"text":"Forest and Rangeland Ecosystem Science Center","active":false,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":469066,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s13280-017-1011-x","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":350886,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"47","issue":"2","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":12,"text":"Tacoma PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2018-01-31","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5a74357fe4b0a9a2e9e25c82","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Eagles-Smith, Collin A. 0000-0003-1329-5285 ceagles-smith@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1329-5285","contributorId":505,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Eagles-Smith","given":"Collin","email":"ceagles-smith@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[{"id":290,"text":"Forest and Rangeland Ecosystem Science Center","active":false,"usgs":true},{"id":289,"text":"Forest and Rangeland Ecosys Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":518,"text":"Oregon Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":726364,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Silbergeld, Ellen K.","contributorId":201550,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Silbergeld","given":"Ellen","email":"","middleInitial":"K.","affiliations":[{"id":13508,"text":"Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public health","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":726365,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Basu, Niladri","contributorId":60085,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Basu","given":"Niladri","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":726366,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Bustamante, Paco","contributorId":201551,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Bustamante","given":"Paco","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":36199,"text":"La Rochelle University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":726367,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Diaz-Barriga, Fernando","contributorId":201552,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Diaz-Barriga","given":"Fernando","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":36200,"text":"Universidad Autónoma de San Luis Potosí","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":726368,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Hopkins, William A.","contributorId":201553,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Hopkins","given":"William A.","affiliations":[{"id":12694,"text":"Virginia Tech","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":726369,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6},{"text":"Kidd, Karen A.","contributorId":201554,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Kidd","given":"Karen","email":"","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[{"id":25502,"text":"McMaster University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":726370,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":7},{"text":"Nyland, Jennifer F.","contributorId":201555,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Nyland","given":"Jennifer","email":"","middleInitial":"F.","affiliations":[{"id":36201,"text":"Salisbury University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":726371,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":8}]}}

Earthquake activity at the SSGF often occurs in swarm-like clusters, some with clear migration patterns. We have identified an earthquake sequence composed entirely of focal mechanisms representing an ambiguous style of faulting, where strikes are similar but deformation occurs due to steeply-dipping normal faults with varied stress states. In order to more accurately determine the style of faulting for these events, we revisit the original waveforms and refine estimates of P and S wave arrival times and displacement amplitudes. We calculate the acceptable focal plane solutions using P-wave polarities and S/P amplitude ratios, and determine the preferred fault plane. Without constraints on local variations in stress, found by inverting the full earthquake catalog, it is difficult to explain the occurrence of such events using standard fault-mechanics and friction. Comparing these variations with the expected poroelastic effects from local production and injection of geothermal fluids suggests that anthropogenic activity could affect the style of faulting. </p>","largerWorkType":{"id":4,"text":"Book"},"largerWorkTitle":"Proceedings, 43rd Workshop on Geothermal Reservoir Engineering","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":12,"text":"Conference publication"},"conferenceTitle":"43rd Workshop on Geothermal Reservoir Engineering","conferenceDate":"February 12-14, 2018","conferenceLocation":"Stanford, CA","language":"English","publisher":"Stanford University","usgsCitation":"Crandall-Bear, A., Barbour, A., and Schoenball, M., 2018, Irregular focal mechanisms observed at Salton Sea Geothermal Field: Possible influences of anthropogenic stress perturbations, <i>in</i> Proceedings, 43rd Workshop on Geothermal Reservoir Engineering, Stanford, CA, February 12-14, 2018, 11 p.","productDescription":"11 p.","ipdsId":"IP-094580","costCenters":[{"id":237,"text":"Earthquake Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":352070,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":352069,"rank":1,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://pangea.stanford.edu/ERE/db/GeoConf/Abstract.php?PaperID=3863"}],"publishingServiceCenter":{"id":14,"text":"Menlo Park PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5afee742e4b0da30c1bfc1f9","contributors":{"editors":[{"text":"Schoenball, Martin","contributorId":194237,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Schoenball","given":"Martin","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":729615,"contributorType":{"id":2,"text":"Editors"},"rank":3}],"authors":[{"text":"Crandall-Bear, Aren","contributorId":202788,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Crandall-Bear","given":"Aren","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":237,"text":"Earthquake Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":729614,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Barbour, Andrew J. 0000-0002-6890-2452 abarbour@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6890-2452","contributorId":140443,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Barbour","given":"Andrew J.","email":"abarbour@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":237,"text":"Earthquake Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":729613,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Schoenball, Martin mschoenball@usgs.gov","contributorId":5760,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Schoenball","given":"Martin","email":"mschoenball@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":312,"text":"Geology, Minerals, Energy, and Geophysics Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":729713,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3}]}}

However, it is unknown whether methane derived from this sediment storehouse of frozen ancient carbon reaches the atmosphere. We quantified the fraction of methane derived from ancient sources in shelf waters of the U.S. Beaufort Sea, a region that has both permafrost and methane hydrates and is experiencing significant warming. Although the radiocarbon-methane analyses indicate that ancient carbon is being mobilized and emitted as methane into shelf bottom waters, surprisingly, we find that methane in surface waters is principally derived from modern-aged carbon. We report that at and beyond approximately the 30-m isobath, ancient sources that dominate in deep waters contribute, at most, 10 ± 3% of the surface water methane. These results suggest that even if there is a heightened liberation of ancient carbon–sourced methane as climate change proceeds, oceanic oxidation and dispersion processes can strongly limit its emission to the atmosphere.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"AAAS","doi":"10.1126/sciadv.aao4842","usgsCitation":"Sparrow, K.J., Kessler, J.D., Southon, J.R., Garcia-Tigreros, F., Schreiner, K.M., Ruppel, C.D., Miller, J.B., Lehman, S.J., and Xu, X., 2018, Limited contribution of ancient methane to surface waters of the U.S. Beaufort Sea shelf: Science Advances, v. 4, no. 1, eaao4842; 7 p., https://doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.aao4842.","productDescription":"eaao4842; 7 p.","ipdsId":"IP-091258","costCenters":[{"id":678,"text":"Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":469064,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.aao4842","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":350888,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"4","issue":"1","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":11,"text":"Pembroke PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5a743580e4b0a9a2e9e25c86","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Sparrow, Katy J.","contributorId":201537,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Sparrow","given":"Katy","email":"","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[{"id":36190,"text":"Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, University of Rochester, Rochester, New York, USA","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":726338,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Kessler, John D. 0000-0003-1097-6800","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1097-6800","contributorId":184241,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Kessler","given":"John","email":"","middleInitial":"D.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":726339,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Southon, John R.","contributorId":201538,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Southon","given":"John","email":"","middleInitial":"R.","affiliations":[{"id":36191,"text":"Keck Carbon Cycle AMS Laboratory, Department of Earth System Science, University of California Irvine, Irvine, California, USA.","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":726340,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Garcia-Tigreros, Fenix 0000-0001-8694-9046","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8694-9046","contributorId":194744,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Garcia-Tigreros","given":"Fenix","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":726341,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Schreiner, Kathryn M.","contributorId":201540,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Schreiner","given":"Kathryn","email":"","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[{"id":36192,"text":"Large Lakes Observatory, University of Minnesota Duluth, Duluth, Minnesota, USA.","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":726342,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Ruppel, Carolyn D. 0000-0003-2284-6632 cruppel@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2284-6632","contributorId":195778,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Ruppel","given":"Carolyn","email":"cruppel@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"D.","affiliations":[{"id":678,"text":"Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":726337,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6},{"text":"Miller, John B.","contributorId":37304,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Miller","given":"John","email":"","middleInitial":"B.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":726343,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":7},{"text":"Lehman, Scott J.","contributorId":201559,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Lehman","given":"Scott","email":"","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":726344,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":8},{"text":"Xu, Xiaomei","contributorId":32055,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Xu","given":"Xiaomei","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":726345,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":9}]}}

In the Great Lakes, the round goby (</span><i>Neogobius melanostomus</i><span>), an invasive benthic fish from the Black Sea, has spread to encompass all five lakes and many tributaries, outcompeting or consuming native species; however, estimates of round goby abundance are confounded by behavior and habitat preference, which impact reliable methods for estimating their population. By integrating eDNA into round goby monitoring, improved estimates of biomass may be obtainable. We conducted mesocosm experiments to estimate rates of goby DNA shedding and decay. Further, we compared eDNA with several methods of traditional field sampling to compare its use as an alternative/complementary monitoring method. Environmental DNA decay was comparable to other fish species, and first-order decay was lower at 12°C (k = 0.043) than at 19°C (k = 0.058). Round goby eDNA was routinely detected in known invaded sites of Lake Michigan and its tributaries (range log</span><sub>10</sub><span><span>&nbsp;</span>4.8–6.2 CN/L), but not upstream of an artificial fish barrier. Traditional techniques (mark-recapture, seining, trapping) in Lakes Michigan and Huron resulted in fewer, more variable detections than eDNA, but trapping and eDNA were correlated (Pearson R = 0.87). Additional field testing will help correlate round goby abundance with eDNA, providing insight on its role as a prey fish and its impact on food webs.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"PLOS","doi":"10.1371/journal.pone.0191720","usgsCitation":"Nevers, M., Byappanahalli, M., Morris, C.C., Shively, D., Przybyla-Kelly, K., Spoljaric,

We present a transect of cores from northwest Florida wherein radical postdepositional changes in the redox regime has created atypical geochemical profiles at the bottom of the sedimentary column. The stratigraphy is consistent along the transect, consisting of, from the bottom upward, carbonate bedrock, a gray clay, an organic mud section, a dense clay layer, and an upper organic mud unit representing the current saltwater marsh. However, the geochemical signature of the lower organic mud unit suggests pervasive redox reactions, although the interval has been identified as representing a freshwater marsh, an unlikely environment for such conditions. Analyses indicate that this discrepancy results from postdepositional diagenesis driven by millennial-scale environmental parameters. Rising sea level that led to the deposition of the capping clay layer, created anaerobic conditions in the freshwater swamp interval, and isolated it hydrologically from the rest of the sediment column. The subsequent infiltration of marine water into this organic material led to sulfate reduction, the buildup of H</span><sub>2</sub><span>S and FeS, and anoxic conditions. Continued sulfidation eventually resulted in euxinic conditions, as evidenced by elevated levels of Fe, S, and especially Mo, the diagnostic marker of euxinia. Because this chemical transformation occurred long after the original deposition the geochemical signature does not reflect soil chemistry at the time of deposition and cannot be used to infer syn-depositional environmental conditions, emphasizing the importance of recognizing diagenetic processes in paleoenvironmental studies.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"ACS","doi":"10.1021/acsearthspacechem.7b00098","usgsCitation":"McCloskey, T.A., Smith, C.G., Liu, K., Marot, M.E., and Haller, C., 2018, How could a freshwater swamp produce a chemical signature characteristic of a saltmarsh?: ACS Earth and Space Chemistry, v. 2, no. 1, p. 9-20, https://doi.org/10.1021/acsearthspacechem.7b00098.","productDescription":"12 p.","startPage":"9","endPage":"20","ipdsId":"IP-092624","costCenters":[{"id":574,"text":"St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":350892,"rank":1,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Florida","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -82.78,\n              29.19\n            ],\n            [\n              -82.87,\n              29.19\n            ],\n            [\n              -82.87,\n              29.14\n            ],\n            [\n              -82.78,\n              29.14\n            ],\n            [\n              -82.78,\n              29.19\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"2","issue":"1","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":9,"text":"Reston PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2017-12-11","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5a743582e4b0a9a2e9e25c90","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"McCloskey, Terrence A. 0000-0003-3979-3821 tmccloskey@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3979-3821","contributorId":200684,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"McCloskey","given":"Terrence","email":"tmccloskey@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[{"id":574,"text":"St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":17705,"text":"Wetland and Aquatic Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":369,"text":"Louisiana Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":726296,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Smith, Christopher G. 0000-0002-8075-4763 cgsmith@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8075-4763","contributorId":3410,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Smith","given":"Christopher","email":"cgsmith@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"G.","affiliations":[{"id":186,"text":"Coastal and Marine Geology Program","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":24708,"text":"Lower Mississippi-Gulf Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":574,"text":"St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":726297,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Liu, Kam-biu","contributorId":201527,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Liu","given":"Kam-biu","affiliations":[{"id":13050,"text":"Department of Oceanography and Coastal Sciences, Louisiana State University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":726298,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Marot, Marci E. 0000-0003-0504-315X mmarot@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0504-315X","contributorId":2078,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Marot","given":"Marci","email":"mmarot@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"E.","affiliations":[{"id":574,"text":"St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":186,"text":"Coastal and Marine Geology Program","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":726299,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Haller, Christian","contributorId":200685,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Haller","given":"Christian","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":726300,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5}]}}

Planting switchgrass in marginal croplands and waterway buffers can reduce soil erosion, improve water quality, and improve regional ecosystem services (i.e. it serves as a potential carbon sink). In previous studies, we mapped high risk marginal croplands and highly erodible cropland buffers that are potentially suitable for switchgrass development, which would improve ecosystem services and minimally impact food production. In this study, we advance our previous study results and integrate future crop expansion information to develop a switchgrass biofuel potential ensemble map for current and future croplands in eastern Nebraska. The switchgrass biomass productivity and carbon benefits (i.e. NEP: net ecosystem production) for the identified biofuel potential ensemble areas were quantified. The future scenario‐based (‘A1B’) land use and land cover map for 2050, the US Geological Survey crop type and Compound Topographic Index (CTI) maps, and long‐term (1981–2010) averaged annual precipitation data were used to identify future crop expansion regions that are suitable for switchgrass development. Results show that 2528&nbsp;km</span><sup>2</sup><span><span>&nbsp;</span>of future crop expansion regions (~3.6% of the study area) are potentially suitable for switchgrass development. The total estimated biofuel potential ensemble area (including cropland buffers, marginal croplands, and future crop expansion regions) is 4232&nbsp;km</span><sup>2</sup><span><span>&nbsp;</span>(~6% of the study area), potentially producing 3.52 million metric tons of switchgrass biomass per year. Converting biofuel ensemble regions to switchgrass leads to potential carbon sinks (the total NEP for biofuel potential areas is 0.45 million metric tons C) and is environmentally sustainable. Results from this study improve our understanding of environmental conditions and ecosystem services of current and future cropland systems in eastern Nebraska and provide useful information to land managers to make land use decisions regarding switchgrass development.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Wiley","doi":"10.1111/gcbb.12468","usgsCitation":"Gu, Y., and Wylie, B., 2018, Integrating future scenario‐based crop expansion and crop conditions to map switchgrass biofuel potential in eastern Nebraska, USA: GCB Bioenergy, v. 10, no. 2, p. 76-83, https://doi.org/10.1111/gcbb.12468.","productDescription":"8 p.","startPage":"76","endPage":"83","ipdsId":"IP-087756","costCenters":[{"id":222,"text":"Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":469053,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1111/gcbb.12468","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":353641,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Nebraska","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -99.1845703125,\n              40.01078714046552\n            ],\n            [\n              -95.30639648437499,\n              40.01078714046552\n            ],\n            [\n              -95.30639648437499,\n              42.99661231842139\n            ],\n            [\n              -99.1845703125,\n              42.99661231842139\n            ],\n            [\n              -99.1845703125,\n              40.01078714046552\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"10","issue":"2","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":4,"text":"Rolla PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2017-07-12","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5afee740e4b0da30c1bfc1d7","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Gu, Yingxin 0000-0002-3544-1856 ygu@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3544-1856","contributorId":139586,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Gu","given":"Yingxin","email":"ygu@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":222,"text":"Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":223,"text":"Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center (Geography)","active":false,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":733834,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Wylie, Bruce K. 0000-0002-7374-1083 wylie@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7374-1083","contributorId":197161,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Wylie","given":"Bruce K.","email":"wylie@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":223,"text":"Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center (Geography)","active":false,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":733835,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}}
