Since their reintroduction, elk numbers have increased, and elk have extended their range beyond GRSM boundaries. We used spatially explicit capture-recapture (SCR) methods based on fecal DNA to identify individual elk and estimate population abundance (</span><i>N</i><span>), apparent survival (</span><i>φ</i><span>), per capita recruitment (</span><i>f</i><span>), and population growth rate (</span><i>λ</i><span>) in western North Carolina. We walked a series of transects during 3 winter field seasons (2020–2022) and collected elk pellets encountered along those transects. We created spatially explicit capture histories and incorporated those data into both closed and open population SCR models. The top performing closed SCR models for males and females estimated density by year and as a function of the scaled distance to the nearest field, with densities decreasing as the distance increased. Combined male and female&nbsp;</span><i>N</i><span>&nbsp;were 179 elk (95% CI = 149–215) in 2020, 220 elk (95% CI = 188–256) in 2021, and 240 elk (95% CI = 207–279) in 2022. The top open population model estimated both&nbsp;</span><i>φ</i><span>&nbsp;and&nbsp;</span><i>λ</i><span>&nbsp;as functions of sex and year. The estimate of&nbsp;</span><i>φ</i><span>&nbsp;for males was 0.682 (95% CI = 0.317–0.908) during 2020–2021 and 0.339 (95% CI = 0.152–0.596) during 2021–2022 and for females was 0.953 (95% CI = 0.830–1.000) during 2020–2021 and 0.829 (95% CI = 0.601–1.000) during 2021–2022. The annual population growth rate (</span><i>λ</i><span>) for males was 1.127 (95% CI = 0.806–1.575) during 2020–2021 and 0.811 (95% CI = 0.566–1.163) during 2021–2022 and for females was 1.559 (95% CI = 1.162–2.091) during 2020–2021 and 1.122 (95% CI = 0.876–1.437) during 2021–2022. Our elk abundance estimates in areas &gt;300 m from fields were negligible, and we suggest that sampling only the areas in and adjacent to fields in the future will result in reliable but more cost-efficient population estimates. Confidence intervals for vital rate parameters were wide for our 3-year dataset, but continued annual pellet sampling will increase sample sizes for vital rate estimation and thus improve precision. If elk herd expansion on public lands is desired, we suggest habitat modification to establish open grasslands adjacent to forests.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"The Wildlife

With the widespread adoption of participatory science as well as the proliferation of nationwide wildlife game camera studies, occurrence data of armadillos can be compiled more rapidly and thoroughly than at any time in the past. Here, we use disparate data sources to update the current geographic distribution of the armadillo in the United States and use occurrence data from the leading edge of its range expansion to create a species distribution model to understand their relationship with landscape and bioclimatic factors. Since the last report on the geographic distribution of the armadillo in 2014, we show that armadillos have expanded to cover the entirety of Missouri and established in southern Iowa, expanded modestly within Kansas and Illinois, expanded northward and eastward in Indiana, expanded eastward in both Kentucky and Tennessee, established throughout the entirety of South Carolina and Georgia and established in the western third of North Carolina. Our species distribution model indicates that there is substantial opportunity for the species to continue to expand its geographic range, particularly in the Eastern United States. These results provide information to managers who are now or might soon be co-existing with the armadillo to proactively manage the species or inform the public regarding potential conflicts.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"MDPI","doi":"10.3390/d17020138","usgsCitation":"DeGregorio, B.A., and Deshwal, A., 2025, Current distribution of the nine-banded armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus) in the United States: Diversity, v. 17, no. 2, 138, 14 p., https://doi.org/10.3390/d17020138.","productDescription":"138, 14 p.","ipdsId":"IP-174450","costCenters":[{"id":199,"text":"Coop Res Unit Leetown","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":493797,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/d17020138","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":493710,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -96.46443710699266,\n              43.482544866418095\n            ],\n            [\n              -98.46009009198762,\n              41.85543820530121\n            ],\n            [\n              -103.40240986276783,\n              39.849442113752225\n            ],\n            [\n              -106.57489778026832,\n              32.18560045351303\n            ],\n            [\n              -103.13881240687051,\n              29.004932608997777\n            ],\n            [\n              -102.01381568185428,\n              29.684127826701868\n            ],\n            [\n              -100.5588846777174,\n              28.719938827643247\n            ],\n            [\n              -98.90079539428103,\n              26.21067054924025\n            ],\n            [\n              -97.28797850165715,\n              25.80528820642506\n            ],\n            [\n              -95.08083877123178,\n              28.68104484993762\n            ],\n            [\n              -90.13838335666708,\n              29.279435161004997\n            ],\n            [\n              -83.97820912015521,\n              29.550506198188735\n            ],\n            [\n              -81.62615042652806,\n              25.175140663968392\n            ],\n            [\n              -79.20159572289897,\n              24.880530509938623\n            ],\n            [\n              -81.26833756114897,\n              30.9638453530741\n            ],\n            [\n              -75.67958860575126,\n              35.58409243159953\n            ],\n            [\n              -75.80680620450346,\n              38.817069169317364\n            ],\n            [\n              -81.47311820007566,\n              41.86626002921978\n            ],\n            [\n              -87.65021677565505,\n              42.44570766588616\n            ],\n            [\n              -90.16529470749337,\n              42.5611294229177\n            ],\n            [\n              -91.36833985870564,\n              43.39180921040943\n            ],\n            [\n              -96.46443710699266,\n              43.482544866418095\n            ]\n          ]\n        ],\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"17","issue":"2","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2025-02-19","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"DeGregorio, Brett Alexander 0000-0002-5273-049X","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5273-049X","contributorId":243214,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"DeGregorio","given":"Brett","email":"","middleInitial":"Alexander","affiliations":[{"id":198,"text":"Coop Res Unit Atlanta","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":944986,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Deshwal, Anant","contributorId":350109,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Deshwal","given":"Anant","affiliations":[{"id":17862,"text":"Bradley University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":944987,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}}

Maintaining ecosystem function with solar energy generation can be promoted through construction methods that minimize negative impacts on soils and vegetation. However, the disturbance created by less-impactful construction methods at utility-scale solar energy (USSE) facilities and the ecosystem responses remain relatively unknown.</li><li>We monitored soils and vegetation before and after the USSE build-out to assess the short-term impacts of construction on soils and vegetation at the Gemini Solar Project in the Mojave Desert. The facility was constructed with methods intended to be less impactful than traditional techniques. Our goal was to answer three questions: (1) What are the short-term effects of construction on soils and vegetation? (2) Do construction effects vary by the initial plant community and soil type? and (3) Does disturbance intensity from construction affect soil and vegetation response?</li><li>We found strong evidence that the construction of the Gemini facility increased bare soil and soil compaction, and decreased dark biocrust cover and soil stability in the short term. For every 1% increase in disturbance intensity, we found a 0.23% increase in bare soil cover and a 0.10% decrease in dark biocrust cover. Plant responses varied more than soil responses and depended on the initial plant community and soil type, with decreases in plant canopy cover highest in sandy soils dominated by creosote bush (<i>Larrea tridentata</i>) and white bursage (<i>Ambrosia dumosa</i>) shrubs.</li><li><i>Synthesis and applications</i>: Many impacts of USSE facility construction depend on the underlying vegetation and soils and the level of disturbance intensity. The use of less-impactful construction methods, including a combination of overland travel and drive-and-crush examined in our study, can ameliorate negative effects relative to traditional construction practices and provide a pathway to maintain ecosystem function.</li></ol>","language":"English","publisher":"British Ecological Society","doi":"10.1111/1365-2664.14882","usgsCitation":"Karban, C.C., Munson, S.M., Kobelt, L., and Lovich, J.E., 2025, Short-term ecological effects of solar energy development depend on plant community, soil type, and disturbance intensity: Journal of Applied Ecology, v. 62, no. 4, p. 945-957, https://doi.org/10.1111/1365-2664.14882.","productDescription":"14 p.","startPage":"945","endPage":"957","ipdsId":"IP-167668","costCenters":[{"id":568,"text":"Southwest Biological Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":498249,"rank":2,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1111/1365-2664.14882","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":483196,"rank":1,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"62","issue":"4","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2025-02-19","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Karban, Claire C 0000-0002-6157-031X","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6157-031X","contributorId":344987,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Karban","given":"Claire","email":"","middleInitial":"C","affiliations":[{"id":568,"text":"Southwest Biological Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":930379,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Munson, Seth M. 0000-0002-2736-6374 smunson@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2736-6374","contributorId":1334,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Munson","given":"Seth","email":"smunson@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[{"id":568,"text":"Southwest Biological Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":411,"text":"National Climate Change and Wildlife Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":930380,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Kobelt, Lara A.","contributorId":350355,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Kobelt","given":"Lara A.","affiliations":[{"id":83722,"text":"Bureau of Land Management, Southern Nevada District Office, 4701 North Torrey Pines Dr., Las Vegas, NV 89130","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":930381,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Lovich, Jeffrey E. 0000-0002-7789-2831 jeffrey_lovich@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7789-2831","contributorId":458,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Lovich","given":"Jeffrey","email":"jeffrey_lovich@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"E.","affiliations":[{"id":651,"text":"Western Ecological Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":568,"text":"Southwest Biological Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":930382,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4}]}}

However, because the last CSZ interface rupture occurred in 1700 CE, the shaking expected in such an event is especially uncertain, as are the impacts to the built and living environments. Like other coseismic impacts, soil liquefaction poses a significant threat and must be considered by any scenario study used to inform planning and response, or to focus mitigation resources. Liquefaction is also notable for its potential to “ground truth” ground-motion estimates, given that its presence or absence in the geologic record can provide constraint on the intensities of shaking in past events. It is thus an important phenomenon looking both forward and backward. Accordingly, using recent physics-based simulations, this study (1) predicts liquefaction in M9 CSZ ruptures at 400 locations in Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia (BC) using an array of cone-penetration-test based models and (2) uses paleoliquefaction evidence at ten sites spanning from Southern Oregon to Vancouver, BC to constrain possible ground-motion intensities experienced in the 1700 CE earthquake. The forward predictions indicate that liquefaction in M9 events could be pervasive in the region and affect numerous population hubs, with the potential for damage across hundreds of square kilometers. The backward analyses suggest that 1700 CE ground-motion intensities may have been less than expected from M9 simulations in some northern portions of the CSZ (e.g. Seattle), given the paucity of 1700 CE liquefaction evidence in these areas. Ultimately, further discovery and analysis of CSZ paleoliquefaction, or lack thereof, will confirm or modify this possibility and the conclusions drawn herein.","language":"English","publisher":"Sage","doi":"10.1177/87552930251316819","usgsCitation":"Rasanen, R., Grant, A.R., Makdisi, A.J., Maurer, B.W., and Wirth, E.A., 2025, Implications of physics-based M9 ground motions on liquefaction-induced damage in the Cascadia Subduction Zone: Looking forward and backward: Earthquake Spectra, 30 p., https://doi.org/10.1177/87552930251316819.","productDescription":"30 p.","ipdsId":"IP-157098","costCenters":[{"id":237,"text":"Earthquake Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":482562,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Oregon, Washington","otherGeospatial":"Cascadia Subduction Zone","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -125.26164781722542,\n              48.65345896049223\n            ],\n            [\n              -125.26164781722542,\n              44.28740331066001\n            ],\n            [\n              -122.25792048153377,\n              44.28740331066001\n            ],\n            [\n              -122.25792048153377,\n              48.65345896049223\n            ],\n            [\n              -125.26164781722542,\n              48.65345896049223\n            ]\n          ]\n        ],\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","edition":"Online First","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2025-02-19","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Rasanen, Ryan A.","contributorId":337148,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Rasanen","given":"Ryan A.","affiliations":[{"id":6934,"text":"University of Washington","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":928882,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Grant, Alex R. 0000-0002-5096-4305","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5096-4305","contributorId":219066,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Grant","given":"Alex","middleInitial":"R.","affiliations":[{"id":237,"text":"Earthquake Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":234,"text":"Earthquake Hazards Program","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":928883,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Makdisi, Andrew James 0000-0002-8239-0692","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8239-0692","contributorId":267917,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Makdisi","given":"Andrew","email":"","middleInitial":"James","affiliations":[{"id":300,"text":"Geologic Hazards Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":928884,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Maurer, Brett W.","contributorId":139387,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Maurer","given":"Brett","email":"","middleInitial":"W.","affiliations":[{"id":12694,"text":"Virginia Tech","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":928885,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Wirth, Erin A. 0000-0002-8592-4442","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8592-4442","contributorId":207853,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Wirth","given":"Erin","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[{"id":237,"text":"Earthquake Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":928886,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5}]}}

In the present study, validated assays for plasma corticosterone, free thyroxine (fT4), and aldosterone were used to assess the endocrine status of 61 presumed healthy, wild Kemp's ridley sea turtles (</span><i>Lepidochelys kempii</i><span>) that were captured for separate ecological studies using two capture methods (trawl net n = 40; manual capture n = 21). Plasma hormone concentrations were also assessed in relation to eight clinical plasma biochemical analytes. Corticosterone and aldosterone concentrations were moderately high after capture, with significantly higher concentrations in turtles captured by trawl net vs. manual capture. Free thyroxine concentrations were within previously published ranges for healthy individuals of this species. Clinical biochemical data revealed moderately elevated potassium and lactate concentrations in many individuals, with significantly greater lactate concentrations in trawl-captured turtles. Aldosterone concentrations were positively correlated with corticosterone. The results of the present study indicate that Kemp's ridley sea turtles have robust adrenocortical activity immediately after capture, resulting in high plasma concentrations of corticosterone and aldosterone. Researchers who use such methods to access sea turtles can consider these results in planning careful and efficient field studies.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"MDPI","doi":"10.3390/ani15040600","usgsCitation":"Innis, C.J., Graham, K., Mott, C.R., Hart, K., Roche, D., Cherkiss, M., and Burgess, E., 2025, Not just corticosterone: Further characterization of the endocrine response of Kemp’s ridley sea turtles (Lepidochelys kempii) reveals elevated plasma aldosterone concentrations during field capture events: Animals, v. 15, no. 4, 600, 12 p., https://doi.org/10.3390/ani15040600.","productDescription":"600, 12 p.","ipdsId":"IP-172044","costCenters":[{"id":17705,"text":"Wetland and Aquatic Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":487745,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/ani15040600","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":483050,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -93.70557649872961,\n              30.010739238547117\n            ],\n            [\n              -92.00116115306747,\n              28.339002561929632\n            ],\n            [\n              -82.86230511121795,\n              28.277917524081474\n            ],\n            [\n              -82.85674465474287,\n              29.15185303305006\n            ],\n            [\n              -84.02866560881175,\n              30.139029913622593\n            ],\n            [\n              -85.6277919394617,\n              29.59516287623463\n            ],\n            [\n              -86.1440236623925,\n              30.300606706908166\n            ],\n            [\n              -88.25369972273643,\n              30.00606334692438\n            ],\n            [\n              -88.6098267088585,\n              30.51137384092631\n            ],\n            [\n              -93.70557649872961,\n              30.010739238547117\n            ]\n          ]\n        ],\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"15","issue":"4","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2025-02-19","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Innis, Charles J.","contributorId":117805,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Innis","given":"Charles","email":"","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":929969,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Graham, Katherine M.","contributorId":352061,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Graham","given":"Katherine M.","affiliations":[{"id":37373,"text":"New England Aquarium","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":929970,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Mott, Cody R.","contributorId":331398,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Mott","given":"Cody","email":"","middleInitial":"R.","affiliations":[{"id":79198,"text":"Inwater Research Group, Jensen Beach, FL","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":929971,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Hart, Kristen 0000-0002-5257-7974","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5257-7974","contributorId":220333,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Hart","given":"Kristen","affiliations":[{"id":17705,"text":"Wetland and Aquatic Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":929972,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Roche, David 0000-0002-3329-2746 droche@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3329-2746","contributorId":204332,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Roche","given":"David","email":"droche@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":17705,"text":"Wetland and Aquatic Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":13165,"text":"Nova Southeastern University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":true,"id":929973,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Cherkiss, Michael 0000-0002-7802-6791","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7802-6791","contributorId":222180,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Cherkiss","given":"Michael","affiliations":[{"id":17705,"text":"Wetland and Aquatic Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":929974,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6},{"text":"Burgess, Elizabeth A.","contributorId":352063,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Burgess","given":"Elizabeth A.","affiliations":[{"id":37373,"text":"New England Aquarium","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":929975,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":7}]}}

We quantified host breadth for 240 non-native, tree-feeding insects in North America using phylogenetic diversity. We demonstrated that a partitioning of host breadth: (1) causes 67% of non-native insects to shift from a generalist to specialist category, (2) displays a reduction in host breadth from the native to introduced range, (3) identifies an inflection point in a model predicting the likelihood of non-native insect ecological impact, with a corresponding change in behaviour associated with specialists versus generalists, and (4) enables three models for strong prediction of whether a non-native forest insect will cause high impacts. Together, these results highlight the primacy of how herbivore host recognition and plant defences mediate whether novel host interactions will result in high impact after invasion.</span></span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Wiley","doi":"10.1111/ele.70083","usgsCitation":"Schulz, A.N., Havill, N.P., Marsico, T.D., Ayres, M.P., Gandhi, K.J., Herms, D.A., Hoover, A., Hufbauer, R.A., Liebhold, A.M., Raffa, K.F., Thomas, K.A., Tobin, P.C., Uden, D.R., and Mech, A.M., 2025, What is a specialist?

State-and-transition models (STMs) describe persistent plant and ecological conditions that are possible (the “state”) within a given abiotic setting and drivers or actions that can cause shifts between states (the “transitions”). These primarily conceptual models are widely used to inform resource and conservation decisions. Data-driven STMs have been developed for some lands, but not at regional or national scales. Here, we demonstrate a new repeatable workflow for developing data-driven STMs in the United States (US). The approach leverages predictive maps of Ecological Site Groups (ESGs), extensive field-based Federal monitoring databases, information from Ecological Site Description (ESD) STMs, soil erosion models, remotely sensed productivity, and other available spatial information (fire, land protection, and drought) to provide context and descriptions of the data-driven states, including likely drivers of transitions. Results of this workflow applied to one dryland ESG in the Upper Colorado River Basin in the southwestern US suggest that an Invaded state (16% of 1352 plots) and some occurrences of a Grassland state (30% of plots) are in a degraded or at-risk condition with reduced ecosystem services. The most common drivers of state transitions in the associated ESDs (</span><i>n</i><span> = 26) are related to livestock grazing and fire. The Invaded state in the ESG has evidence of degraded habitat quality and accelerated run-off while the Grassland state occurrences show reduced richness, productivity, and elevated erosion risk by wind. Areas subject to wildfire and with lower protection status had greater probability of Invaded state occurrence, generally supporting drivers in ESDs. The workflow presented here can serve as a template for describing ecological dynamics at regional scales, and support prioritization of land for conservation and climate adaptation activities.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Elsevier","doi":"10.1016/j.rama.2024.12.006","usgsCitation":"Duniway, M.C., Knight, A.C., Nauman, T., Bishop, T., McCord, S.E., Webb, N.P., Williams, C., and Humphries, J.T., 2025, Quantifying regional ecological dynamics using agency monitoring data, ecological site descriptions, and ecological site groups: Rangeland Ecology & Management, v. 99, p. 119-142-142, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rama.2024.12.006.","productDescription":"24 p.","startPage":"119-142","endPage":"142","ipdsId":"IP-158948","costCenters":[{"id":568,"text":"Southwest Biological Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":490994,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rama.2024.12.006","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":484842,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"99","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2025-02-18","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Duniway, Michael C. 0000-0002-9643-2785 mduniway@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9643-2785","contributorId":4212,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Duniway","given":"Michael","email":"mduniway@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"C.","affiliations":[{"id":568,"text":"Southwest Biological Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":934066,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Knight, Anna C. 0000-0002-9455-2855","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9455-2855","contributorId":255113,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Knight","given":"Anna","email":"","middleInitial":"C.","affiliations":[{"id":568,"text":"Southwest Biological Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":934067,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Nauman, Travis W.","contributorId":310519,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Nauman","given":"Travis W.","affiliations":[{"id":67201,"text":"USDA-NRCS National Soil Survey Center, 2290 SW Resource Blvd., Moab, UT, 84532, USA","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":934068,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Bishop, Tara B.B.","contributorId":215034,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Bishop","given":"Tara B.B.","affiliations":[{"id":39160,"text":"Department of Plant and Wildlife Sciences, Brigham Young University, Provo, UT USA","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":934069,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"McCord, Sarah E.","contributorId":195931,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"McCord","given":"Sarah","email":"","middleInitial":"E.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":934070,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Webb, Nicholas P.","contributorId":195924,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Webb","given":"Nicholas","email":"","middleInitial":"P.","affiliations":[{"id":6973,"text":"USDA-ARS Jornada Experimental Range and Jornada Basin LTER, Las Cruces, NM; New Mexico State University, Dept. of Plant and Environmental Sciences, Las Cruces, NM","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":934071,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6},{"text":"Williams, C.

This bleaching, involving reductive alteration of former red beds, is essential ground preparation that enables the altered rocks to trap Cu, U, and V from later oxidized fluids, forming ore deposits. Study of Sinbad thus offers insights into these metallic mineralization processes in the Paradox and other sedimentary basins. The Sinbad seep occurs where shallow groundwater interacts with organic-rich petroleum source rocks, flows up a fault, and discharges into Salt Creek. Ratios of Na/Cl, Na/Br, and Cl/Br, plus high sulfate concentrations, indicate that the salinity of the seep water originated from dissolution of halite and gypsum during topographically driven flow of meteoric water across a diapir of the Pennsylvanian Paradox Formation, rather than from deep basinal brines. In contact with the organic-rich shales of the Paradox, these SO</span><sub>4</sub><span>-rich waters become reduced through bacterial reduction, producing H</span><sub>2</sub><span>S. The waters react with red beds of the Permian Cutler Formation, causing pervasive bleaching. The bleaching at Sinbad is characterized by iron-conservative reduction of ferric iron in diagenetic hematite and detrital ilmenite and magnetite to Fe sulfides. The ferrous iron is retained in these sulfides likely as sorbed Fe. Associated alteration includes precipitation of quartz and feldspar overgrowths, partial dissolution of detrital quartz and feldspar caused by pressure solution, formation of clay and authigenic rutile, and precipitation of carbonate and gypsum. The Fe sulfides rapidly degenerate to a mixture of jarosite and iron oxides on weathering at the surface. Among the major-oxide elements and most trace elements, there is no statistical difference between unbleached and bleached samples. The exceptions are uranium and sulfur, which are somewhat greater in bleached samples. Fission track radiography illuminates that uranium is preferentially concentrated in iron oxide cements, iron sorbed into detrital clasts, and finely disseminated iron oxide in illite cement in bleached samples. A leaching experiment suggests that uranium may be more easily available for mobilization from rocks that have undergone bleaching alteration, making them potential U sources. In addition, bleached rocks form effective traps for U, V, and some Cu mineralization.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Springer","doi":"10.1007/s42461-025-01184-6","usgsCitation":"Barton, I., Thorson, J., Hall, S., Zielinski, R.A., McIntosh, J., and Kim,

However, tracking the provenance and tectonic affinity of dominantly juvenile crustal provinces is challenging. This difficulty is highlighted by uncertainty over whether the Yavapai and Mojave Provinces, part of the &gt;1300-km-wide system of Proterozoic orogens in southwestern Laurentia, (1) have similar crustal and tectonic histories and (2) if they formed on or near Laurentian, Australian, or Antarctic cratons. Here, we contribute new large-n detrital zircon U-Pb geochronology and Sm-Nd whole-rock isotope geochemistry to help constrain the provenance of the Yavapai Province and address these broader questions. Yavapai Province metasedimentary rocks from central Colorado in the southwestern USA have abundant pre-1.80 Ga detrital zircon grains, with ca. 1.85 Ga, 2.30 Ga, and 2.50−2.70 Ga peaks, and variable amounts of 1.79−1.78 Ga grains. Evolved whole-rock Sm-Nd isotopic compositions from these rocks, including 2.36−2.08 Ga model ages, also suggest mixing between 1.79 Ga and 1.78 Ga Yavapai Province arcs and early Proterozoic to Archean sources. Nearly identical pre-1.8 Ga detrital and inherited zircon age distributions suggest that the Yavapai and Mojave Provinces formed on and/or incorporated similar material. The Trans-Hudson orogen, and to a slightly lesser extent the Penokean orogen, provide the closest matches to the pre-1.80 Ga material in the Yavapai and Mojave Provinces. This similarity, coupled with a weaker resemblance to Australian and Antarctic sources, support a Laurentian affinity for the Yavapai and Mojave Provinces. We envision Paleoproterozoic arc formation on both oceanic crust and material of Laurentian affinity and multiple phases of arc-back-arc genesis, closure, and accretionary tectonism along the long-lived margin of the supercontinent Columbia (Nuna).</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Geological Society of America","doi":"10.1130/B37882.1","usgsCitation":"Hillenbrand, I.W., Gilmer, A.K., Premo, W.R., Williams, M.L., and Jercinovic, M.J., 2025, Re-evaluating the tectonic affinity of Proterozoic crustal provinces in the Southwest USA: Detrital zircon evidence for a Laurentian source for the Yavapai and Mojave Provinces: Geological Society of America Bulletin, v. 137, no. 7-8, p. 2965-2981, https://doi.org/10.1130/B37882.1.","productDescription":"17 p.","startPage":"2965","endPage":"2981","ipdsId":"IP-167810","costCenters":[{"id":318,"text":"Geosciences and Environmental Change Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":483199,"rank":1,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, New Mexico, Utah, Wyoming","otherGeospatial":"southwest United States","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -113.95423255032217,\n              42.82922329789568\n            ],\n            [\n              -113.95423255032217,\n              31.615412012487866\n            ],\n            [\n              -102.42220824721481,\n              31.615412012487866\n            ],\n            [\n              -102.42220824721481,\n              42.82922329789568\n            ],\n            [\n              -113.95423255032217,\n              42.82922329789568\n            ]\n          ]\n        ],\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"137","issue":"7-8","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2025-02-18","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Hillenbrand, Ian William 0000-0003-2801-3674","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2801-3674","contributorId":299032,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Hillenbrand","given":"Ian","email":"","middleInitial":"William","affiliations":[{"id":318,"text":"Geosciences and Environmental Change Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":930412,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Gilmer, Amy K. 0000-0001-5038-8136","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5038-8136","contributorId":218307,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Gilmer","given":"Amy","email":"","middleInitial":"K.","affiliations":[{"id":318,"text":"Geosciences and Environmental Change Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":930413,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Premo, Wayne R. 0000-0001-9904-4801 wpremo@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9904-4801","contributorId":1697,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Premo","given":"Wayne","email":"wpremo@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"R.","affiliations":[],"preferred":true,"id":930414,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Williams, Michael L.","contributorId":215495,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Williams","given":"Michael","email":"","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[{"id":37201,"text":"UMass Amherst","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":930415,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Jercinovic, Michael J.","contributorId":316620,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Jercinovic","given":"Michael","email":"","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[{"id":68659,"text":"University of Massachusetts - Amherst","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":930416,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5}]}}

However, it is not devoid of genetic risks, such as outbreeding depression in future generations, that can have negative consequences in terms of the establishment and mean fitness of the population. Studies that monitor the long-term effects of genetic rescue on populations in the wild are few, especially for snakes. We used long-term genetic monitoring and body condition indices to investigate the consequences of conservation translocation and genetic admixture in a Mogollon Narrow-headed Gartersnake (</span><i>Thamnophis rufipunctatus</i><span>) wild population. We compared genetic diversity and fitness metrics among the source and recipient populations to evaluate individual- and population-level fitness responses related to the conservation translocation. Our study found persistent captures with continued monitoring for over a decade post-release, and the recipient population showed lower inbreeding values and an increase in heterozygosity that was 19% higher than the two source populations. Snakes sampled in the recipient population had higher individual heterozygosity and body condition than those in the extant source and reference populations. Further, Bayesian regression models supported a significant positive relationship between heterozygosity and body condition after accounting for among-site differences, suggesting that efforts to increase heterozygosity can improve mean fitness in these populations. Our study highlights the potential benefits of conservation translocation from multiple source populations to restore the distribution and increase heterozygosity and population fitness of this threatened gartersnake. Alongside ecological restoration, translocation programs could be used to ensure both the persistence and resilience of populations throughout the species’ range.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Springer","doi":"10.1007/s10592-025-01677-3","usgsCitation":"Wood, D.A., Christman, B.L., Jennings, R., Rose, J.P., Nowak, E.M., Schofer, J., and Vandergast, A.G., 2025, Increased heterozygosity and body condition result from admixed translocation of the threatened Mogollon Narrow-headed Gartersnake (Thamnophis rufipunctatus): Conservation Genetics, v. 26, p. 403-418, https://doi.org/10.1007/s10592-025-01677-3.","productDescription":"16 p.","startPage":"403","endPage":"418","ipdsId":"IP-172385","costCenters":[{"id":651,"text":"Western Ecological Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":488336,"rank":2,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s10592-025-01677-3","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":482512,"rank":1,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"New Mexico","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -109.04554823680535,\n              33.80117748726563\n            ],\n            [\n              -109.04554823680535,\n              33.35048803691312\n            ],\n            [\n              -108.38767728510955,\n              33.35048803691312\n            ],\n            [\n              -108.38767728510955,\n              33.80117748726563\n            ],\n            [\n              -109.04554823680535,\n              33.80117748726563\n            ]\n          ]\n        ],\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"26","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2025-02-17","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Wood, Dustin A. 0000-0002-7668-9911 dawood@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7668-9911","contributorId":4179,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Wood","given":"Dustin","email":"dawood@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[{"id":651,"text":"Western Ecological Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":928676,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Christman, Bruce L.","contributorId":207392,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Christman","given":"Bruce","email":"","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":928677,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Jennings, Randy D.","contributorId":351489,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Jennings","given":"Randy D.","affiliations":[{"id":83996,"text":"Western New Mexico University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":928678,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Rose, Jonathan P. 0000-0003-0874-9166 jprose@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0874-9166","contributorId":199339,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Rose","given":"Jonathan","email":"jprose@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"P.","affiliations":[{"id":651,"text":"Western Ecological Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":928679,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Nowak, Erika M.","contributorId":207510,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Nowak","given":"Erika","email":"","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[{"id":12698,"text":"Northern Arizona University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":928680,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Schofer, Justin","contributorId":351490,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Schofer","given":"Justin","affiliations":[{"id":36589,"text":"USDA","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":928681,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6},{"text":"Vandergast, Amy G. 0000-0002-7835-6571","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7835-6571","contributorId":57201,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Vandergast","given":"Amy","middleInitial":"G.","affiliations":[{"id":651,"text":"Western Ecological Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":928682,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":7}]}}

Our findings reveal Oligocene-Miocene stepwise deformation and middle Miocene stress reorganization within the northeastern Tibetan Plateau. We attribute this to Oligocene lithospheric foundering beneath the south-central Tibetan Plateau and the middle Miocene initiation of sinistral strike-slip faults due to the underthrusting of India and North China.

This situation arises from the fact that detailed sedimentologic and petrographic facies characteristics of these fine-grained deposits have rarely been examined closely. In this study we conduct an integrated sedimentologic and petrographic analysis to disentangle causes of the limestone–marl bedding couplets in the Cenomanian–Turonian Bridge Creek Limestone Member (BCL) of the Greenhorn Formation using cores and outcrop near Pueblo, Colorado. By integrating existing geochemical datasets, each of the three general lithologies in the BCL including limestone, marl, and calcareous mudstone can be divided into two facies, a more bioturbated vs. a more laminated facies, in addition to bentonite beds. The variability in sedimentary, bioturbation, and petrographic characteristics of different sedimentary facies types, as well as constraints from the existing orbital time scale, in the BCL indicate changes in sediment accumulation rate or the amount of time recorded by different facies—the limestone, marl, and calcareous facies are interpreted to reflect increasing sedimentation rate. The sedimentary and petrographic facies variations, including but not limited to lithological alternations, in the BCL are interpreted to result from the combined influence of various processes such as bottom currents, bioturbation, early diagenesis, and episodic volcanic input, with some of the above-mentioned processes likely modulated by short-term relative changes in sea level. Results of this study highlight the need for detailed sedimentologic and petrographic studies and consideration of short-term changes in sedimentation rate to fully resolve the causes of the apparent limestone–marl bedding couplets and reliably reconstruct short-term changes in depositional and environmental conditions from the BCL and other similar successions.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Society for Sedimentary Geology","doi":"10.2110/jsr.2024.121","usgsCitation":"Zhiyang Li, and Flaum, J.A., 2025, Reevaluating the depositional model of the Cenomanian–Turonian Bridge Creek Limestone Member near Pueblo, Colorado, U.S.A.: Roles of changing sedimentation rate on the formation of limestone–marl bedding couplets: Journal of Sedimentary Research, v. 95, no. 1, p. 186-208, https://doi.org/10.2110/jsr.2024.121.","productDescription":"23 p.","startPage":"186","endPage":"208","ipdsId":"IP-164103","costCenters":[{"id":164,"text":"Central Energy Resources Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":483944,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Colorado","city":"Pueblo","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -104.30769287342653,\n              38.43186764103851\n            ],\n            [\n              -105.18611920603225,\n              38.43186764103851\n            ],\n            [\n              -105.18611920603225,\n              38.04895114213508\n            ],\n            [\n              -104.30769287342653,\n              38.04895114213508\n            ],\n            [\n              -104.30769287342653,\n              38.43186764103851\n            ]\n          ]\n        ],\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"95","issue":"1","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2025-02-17","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Zhiyang Li","contributorId":352824,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Zhiyang Li","affiliations":[{"id":84293,"text":"Texas A&M International University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":932135,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Flaum, Jason A. 0000-0003-1251-1142","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1251-1142","contributorId":300809,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Flaum","given":"Jason","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[{"id":164,"text":"Central Energy Resources Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":932136,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}}

PTHA results are commonly used to provide consistent tsunami hazard information for use in engineering and risk assessment and, to a lesser extent, hazard response planning. Following an initial weeklong planning meeting in April 2018, designed to establish the WG’s scope, a series of weeklong meetings devoted to aspects of tsunami hazards placed emphasis on assessment of various tsunami sources, including subduction zones in Alaska, the Atlantic and Caribbean, Cascadia, and the Pacific Basin, as well as landslides in Alaska, the Atlantic, and the Caribbean. The final meeting in the series discussed tsunami sources from crustal faults. These meetings, each with a regional geographic focus, were designed to incorporate reviews and feedback from subject matter experts (SMEs) in academia, private industry, and federal, state, and local governmental organizations. Incorporating consensus from SMEs is important because the results derived from the tsunami source models will be used to inform the public about potential hazards from tsunamis related to safety concerns. This paper describes the USGS Powell Center meeting in March 2023, devoted specifically to developing a PTHA for tsunami sources in the Pacific Ocean Basin other than the Alaska–Aleutian and Cascadia subduction zones that were addressed during previous WG meetings.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Association of Environmental & Engineering

However, studies have shown species responding in surprising ways. In this study, we aim to understand the impact of global change on species ranges by considering both climate and habitat changes. Using occupancy analysis of acoustic survey data in the mountains of the northeastern United States, we tested specific predictions of range responses to warming (shifting upslope), precipitation change (shifting downslope), and forest composition change (shifting downslope). We found that American red squirrels&nbsp;</span><i>Tamiasciurus hudsonicus</i><span>, key nodes in northern North American food webs, are not tracking increasing temperatures upslope, despite substantial warming in recent decades. Structural equation modeling indicates that red squirrel abundance is primarily influenced by red-spruce forest cover, which has shifted downslope with recovery from historical logging and acid deposition.

During seasonal destratification, large, short-lived pulses of aqueous MeHg may be released into the subsequently mixed water column, but little is known about the fate of these pulses, particularly whether there are concomitant increases in MeHg uptake into aquatic food webs. We examined the magnitude and timing of MeHg uptake across several trophic guilds relative to the reservoir stratification status using biweekly mercury data from water, zooplankton, and fish (Bluegill,&nbsp;</span><i>Lepomis macrochirus</i><span>&nbsp;and Smallmouth Bass,&nbsp;</span><i>Micropterus dolomieu</i><span>). Zooplankton MeHg concentrations increased by up to 250% during destratification, concurrent with increases in aqueous MeHg concentrations. Zooplankton and filter-passing MeHg concentrations were positively correlated when the reservoir was mixed (</span><i>R</i><sup>2</sup><span>&nbsp;= 0.95) and destratifying (</span><i>R</i><sup>2</sup><span>&nbsp;= 0.57) but not while the reservoir was stratified (</span><i>R</i><sup>2</sup><span>&nbsp;= 0.21). Mercury concentrations in adult bluegill and juveniles of both fish species increased 20–70% following destratification, with responses lagging 4–8 weeks behind those in water and zooplankton MeHg. Mercury concentrations in piscivorous adult bass varied little over the course of the study. Our findings demonstrate the responsiveness of reservoir food webs to pulses in MeHg availability, suggesting that these pulses could play an important role in biotic MeHg exposure within and downstream of reservoirs.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"ACS Publications","doi":"10.1021/acs.est.4c10719","usgsCitation":"Willacker, J., Eagles-Smith, C., Baldwin, A.K., Tate, M.,

The Black and White tegu (Salvator merianae) has become established in several Florida counties and its spread is of significant conservation concern. It is of high priority for state and federal managers to prevent the spread into sensitive ecosystems, including the Greater Everglades. Thus, coordinated EDRR efforts are essential given limited infrastructure and funding for such tasks. While tegus have been observed along the eastern boundary of Everglades National Park, there has been no evidence tegus are established within Big Cypress National Preserve. On 8 August 2024 an individual tegu was sighted by a U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) biologist in Big Cypress National Preserve who alerted National Park Service (NPS) staff and mobilized a response. Live traps were placed at the location of sighting within 24 hours and an individual tegu was captured on 13 August 2024. The individual tegu was determined to be the same individual that was observed five days early based on color, pattern, and other physical characteristics. No additional tegus were captured. The rapid, coordinated response of NPS and USGS likely contributed to this successful EDRR event, and highlights the need for more expansive EDRR frameworks at multiple jurisdictional scales.","language":"English","publisher":"The Regional Euro-Asian Biological Invasions Centre (REABIC)","doi":"10.3391/mbi.2025.16.2.15","usgsCitation":"Sandfoss, M.R., Kissel, A.M., McBride, L.M.,

Although cereal cover crops can decrease field nitrate leaching by 50%–95%, the magnitude of this reduction varies within and between fields, making it challenging to monitor the impact of cover crops on nitrate leaching at large spatial extents. Satellite remote sensing using red-edge bands has been shown to effectively estimate crop nitrogen (N) content (kg ha</span><sup>−1</sup><span>) in later growth-stage crops with a closed canopy. In this study, we evaluated 15 spectral indices derived from Sentinel-2 imagery to estimate N concentration (%) and content (kg ha</span><sup>−1</sup><span>) of cereal cover crops, using 1627 destructive samples collected from 2018 to 2023 in Maryland. Observed N content ranged from 0.1 to 214.7 kg ha</span><sup>−1</sup><span>, while N concentration ranged from 0.6% to 5.5%. The 15 indices considered were poor predictors of N concentration (adj.&nbsp;</span><i>R</i><sup>2</sup><span>&nbsp;=&nbsp;0.089, root mean squared error [RMSE]&nbsp;=&nbsp;0.802%), but were more successful at measuring N content (biomass × N concentration). Delta red-edge (ΔRE) was the best predictor of N content (adj.&nbsp;</span><i>R</i><sup>2</sup><span>&nbsp;=&nbsp;0.748, RMSE&nbsp;=&nbsp;13.10 kg ha</span><sup>−1</sup><span>&nbsp;from cross-validation with 80% train and 20% test splits iterated 100 times) using samples with imagery collected within&nbsp;±4 days of destructive sampling (</span><i>n&nbsp;</i><span>=&nbsp;1110). Our findings indicate that longer red-edge wavelengths (783 and 740 nm) are more suited for estimating N content in cereal cover crops compared to shorter red-edge wavelengths, which have been shown to be more sensitive to biomass. Leave-one-year-out cross-validation demonstrated that the relationship between ΔRE and N content was robust across all four cover crop sampling years included in the study (adj.&nbsp;</span><i>R</i><sup>2</sup><span>&nbsp;=&nbsp;0.700–0.769, RMSE&nbsp;=&nbsp;10.70–15.40 kg ha</span><sup>−1</sup><span>). Regression model performance improved with the addition of multiple predictors, including biomass (estimated from Normalized Difference Vegetation Index), weather variables (adj.&nbsp;</span><i>R</i><sup>2&nbsp;</sup><span>=&nbsp;0.765, RMSE&nbsp;=&nbsp;12.37 kg ha</span><sup>−1</sup><span>), management variables (species, season, adj.&nbsp;</span><i>R</i><sup>2&nbsp;</sup><span>=&nbsp;0.772, and RMSE&nbsp;=&nbsp;12.13 kg ha</span><sup>−1</sup><span>), and biophysical variables (height, fractional ground cover, adj.&nbsp;</span><i>R</i><sup>2&nbsp;</sup><span>=&nbsp;0.818, and RMSE&nbsp;=&nbsp;10.29 kg ha</span><sup>−1</sup><span>). These findings demonstrate the feasibility of quantifying N content in cereal cover crops using a red-edge-based spectral index across large geographic extents and indicate the inclusion of additional predictors, such as weather and management data, improves model accuracy. This work has implications for quantifying reductions in N leaching associated with cover crops, aiding in policymaking and evaluation of conservation programs that impact water bodies such as Chesapeake Bay.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Wiley","doi":"10.1002/agj2.70011","usgsCitation":"Thieme, A., Jennewein, J., Hively, W.D., Lamb, B.T., Whitcraft, A., Mirsky, S., Reberg-Horton, S., and Justice, C., 2025, Multispectral red-edge indices accurately estimate nitrogen content in winter cereal cover crops: Agronomy Journal, v. 117, no. 1, e70011, 22 p., https://doi.org/10.1002/agj2.70011.","productDescription":"e70011, 22 p.","ipdsId":"IP-166011","costCenters":[{"id":24708,"text":"Lower Mississippi-Gulf Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":497994,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/agj2.70011","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":491812,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Maryland","otherGeospatial":"Eastern Shore","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -76.72279086706524,\n              39.59745381238187\n            ],\n            [\n              -76.72279086706524,\n              38.03247531099828\n            ],\n            [\n              -75.71750552954822,\n              38.03247531099828\n            ],\n            [\n              -75.71750552954822,\n              39.59745381238187\n            ],\n            [\n              -76.72279086706524,\n              39.59745381238187\n            ]\n          ]\n        ],\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"117","issue":"1","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2025-02-16","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Thieme, Alison","contributorId":335444,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Thieme","given":"Alison","affiliations":[{"id":62785,"text":"USDA-ARS Sustainable Agricultural Systems Laboratory","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":942060,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Jennewein, Jyoti","contributorId":243442,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Jennewein","given":"Jyoti","affiliations":[{"id":36394,"text":"University of Idaho","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":942061,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Hively, W.

Fueled by both the advent of on-line systems that now produce unprecedented volumes of macroseismic intensity data and by recognition of the importance of understanding key historical earthquakes, there has been a growing appreciation for the value of macroseismic data. It is, however, critical to understand both the unique challenges and the unique opportunities associated with these data.

Coral microatoll growth is one of the best types of geologic record for paleoseismology and paleogeodesy given these needs, as it provides long, continuous, widely distributed records of centimeter-scale vertical tectonic motion with potentially annual-level temporal precision.
