Ecological monitoring practitioners have long recognized that different species are differentially informative of a system's dynamics, as codified in the well-known concepts of indicator or keystone species. Using a novel combination of analysis techniques from nonlinear dynamics, we describe marked variation among spatial sites in information content with respect to system dynamics in the entire region. We first observed these phenomena in a spatially extended predator-prey model, but we observed strikingly similar features in verified water-level data from a NOAA/NOS Great Lakes monitoring program.

S. Army Corps of Engineers (a cooperative project with Maryland Port Administration). Begun in 1998, the 15-year restoration project will ultimately consist of roughly 220 ha of uplands and 220 ha of tidal wetland habitats, with limited areas of dike roads, perimeter riprap, and unvegetated mudflats. Wetland restoration began in one small section (or 'cell') in 2002, but not all cells will be filled with dredged material until at least 2013. As a major objective of the restoration, six species of waterbirds were identified as 'priority species' for Chesapeake Bay: American black duck (<i>Anas rubripes</i>), snowy egret (<i>Egretta thula</i>), cattle egret (<i>Bubulcus ibis</i>), osprey (<i>Pandion haliaetus</i>), common tern (<i>Sterna hirundo</i>), and least tern (<i>S. antillarum</i>). Monitoring of nesting activities of these species from 2002 to 2005 indicated that all species except black ducks colonized the site rapidly. More than 800 pairs of common terns nested in 2003 to 2004. Because of predation by red fox (<i>Vulpes vulpes</i>) and great horned owl (<i>Bubo virginianus</i>), reproductive success was very low for the terns. Trapping was effective in removing the foxes, and other controls have been applied to opportunistic nesting species including herring gulls (<i>Larus argentatus</i>) and Canada geese (<i>Branta canadensis</i>). An effective public education program on the island has helped address concerns about animal control.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"University of Wisconsin Press","doi":"10.3368/er.25.4.256","usgsCitation":"Erwin, R., Miller, J., and Reese, J., 2007, Poplar Island Environmental Restoration Project: Challenges in waterbird restoration on an island in Chesapeake Bay: Ecological Restoration, v. 25, no. 4, p. 256-262, https://doi.org/10.3368/er.25.4.256.","productDescription":"7 p.","startPage":"256","endPage":"262","costCenters":[{"id":531,"text":"Patuxent Wildlife Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":201534,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Maryland","county":"Talbot County","otherGeospatial":"Chesapeake Bay","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -76.2890625,\n              37.12966595484084\n            ],\n            [\n              -76.0089111328125,\n              37.12966595484084\n            ],\n            [\n              -75.8660888671875,\n              37.8271414168374\n            ],\n            [\n              -76.1077880859375,\n              37.91820111976663\n            ],\n            [\n              -76.2890625,\n              37.75768707689704\n            ],\n            [\n              -76.2890625,\n              37.12966595484084\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"25","issue":"4","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4ad7e4b07f02db684396","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Erwin, R.M.","contributorId":57396,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Erwin","given":"R.M.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":342894,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Miller, J.","contributorId":16939,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Miller","given":"J.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":342892,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Reese, J.G.","contributorId":36261,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Reese","given":"J.G.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":342893,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3}]}}

Our objective was to determine if mercury, other elements, and organochlorine contaminants were more available to vertebrates following the 2001 drawdown.  Tree swallow (Tachycineta bicolor) eggs and nestlings were collected at two sites on Pool 8 and a nearby Reference site in 2000 (pre-2001 drawdown), 2001 (pre-2001 drawdown) and 2002 (post-2001 drawdown) and tissues were analyzed for mercury, other elements, and organochlorine contaminants.  Bioindicator measurements of genetic damage, oxidative stress, ethoxyresorufin-O-dealkylase activity, and the ratio of liver to nestling mass were also measured in nestlings at all sites and all years.  Based on a multivariate analysis, the 2001 drawdown of Pool 8 did not influence element concentrations, organochlorine concentrations, or bioindicator response.  Concentrations of inorganic and organochlorine contaminants in tree swallow eggs and nestlings were not at toxic levels.

In this study, live <i>Zostera marina</i> shoots were arranged either randomly or in rows perpendicular to the flow direction and tested in a seawater flume under unidirectional flow and waves to determine if shoot arrangement: a) influenced flow-induced force on individual shoots, b) differentially altered water flow through the canopy, and c) influenced light interception by the canopy. In addition, blade breaking strength was compared with flow-induced force to determine if changes in shoot arrangement might reduce the potential for damage to shoots. Under unidirectional flow, both current velocity in the canopy and force on shoots were significantly decreased when shoots were arranged in rows as compared to randomly. However, force on shoots was nearly constant with downstream distance, arising from the trade-off of shoot bending and in-canopy flow reduction. The coefficient of drag was higher for randomly-arranged shoots at low velocities (&lt; 30 cm s- 1) but converged rapidly among the two shoot arrangements at higher velocities. Shoots arranged in rows tended to intercept slightly more light than those arranged randomly. Effects of shoot arrangement under waves were less clear, potentially because we did not achieve the proper plant size?row spacing ratio. At this point, we may only suggest that water motion, as opposed to light capture, is the dominant physical mechanism responsible for these shoot arrangements. Following a computation of the Environmental Stress Factor, we concluded that even photosynthetically active blades may be damaged or broken under frequently encountered storm conditions, irrespective of shoot arrangement. We hypothesize that when flow is generally from one direction, seagrass bed patterns over multiple scales of consideration may arise as a cumulative effect of individual shoot self-organization driven by reduced force and drag on the shoots and somewhat improved light capture.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"Elsevier","doi":"10.1016/j.jembe.2006.09.015","usgsCitation":"Fonseca, M., Koehl, M., and Kopp, B., 2007, Biomechanical factors contributing to self-organization in seagrass landscapes: Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology, v. 340, no. 2, p. 227-246, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jembe.2006.09.015.","productDescription":"20 p.","startPage":"227","endPage":"246","costCenters":[{"id":531,"text":"Patuxent Wildlife Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":202262,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"340","issue":"2","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e49ade4b07f02db5c6fd9","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Fonseca, M.S.","contributorId":58744,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Fonseca","given":"M.S.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":342511,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Koehl, M.A.R.","contributorId":17347,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Koehl","given":"M.A.R.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":342509,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Kopp, B.S.","contributorId":50258,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Kopp","given":"B.S.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":342510,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3}]}}

The birds occupied territories in primary-succession habitats on growing point bars.  They were most common in mixed stands of Tessaria integrifolia (Asteraceae) and Gynerium sagittatum (Gramineaceae) interspersed with bare sand areas.  The uneven height of the Tessaria canopy, which resulted in openings in the vegetation large enough for the birds to flycatch, was an important habitat feature.  Birds obtained insects, which formed about 96% of the diet, by aerial hawking (91%), perch gleaning (6%), and hover gleaning (3%).  They also fed on fruit.  Territory sizes ranged from 0.04 to 0.25 ha.  Of nine territories that we observed closely, six were occupied by two birds each, two by one bird each, and one by three birds.  Every territory had one dominant individual who was primarily responsible for territory defense; the other birds were associates.  Vocalizations given included the fee-bee-o song, a two-syllable song, and the pit note, which are also given on the breeding grounds.  A series of pits given increasingly rapidly signaled a territorial interaction.  In aggressive encounters, the birds (1) interacted vocally, remaining on their territories and counter calling or exchanging agitated calls; (2) moved toward a common territorial boundary and engaged in a vocal duel; or (3) the dominant chased intruders out of the territory.  Chases were most common when a wave of new birds entered the area.  Dominant birds, which sang the full song, were probably adult males.  Immature males do not sing a full song, and females are not known to sing in nature.  Associate individuals were likely females or young males.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Ornitologia Neotropical","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","collaboration":"6772_Foster.pdf","usgsCitation":"Foster, M., 2007, Winter behavior and ecology of the Alder Flycatcher (Empidonax alnorum) in Peru: Ornitologia Neotropical, v. 18, p. 171-186.","productDescription":"171-186","startPage":"171","endPage":"186","numberOfPages":"16","costCenters":[{"id":531,"text":"Patuxent Wildlife Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":201530,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"18","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e49abe4b07f02db5c5965","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Foster, M.S. 0000-0001-8272-4608","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8272-4608","contributorId":10116,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Foster","given":"M.S.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":342696,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1}]}}

Recent conservation management has emphasized the conversion of cultivated farmland and degraded pastures to intact grassland to improve upland nesting habitat.  The consequences of changes in land-use cover that alter watershed processes have not been evaluated relative to their effect on the water budgets and vegetation dynamics of associated wetlands.  We simulated the effect of upland agricultural practices on the water budget and vegetation of a semipermanent prairie wetland by modifying a previously published mathematical model (WETSIM).  Watershed cover/land-use practices were categorized as unmanaged grassland (native grass, smooth brome), managed grassland (moderately heavily grazed, prescribed burned), cultivated crops (row crop, small grain), and alfalfa hayland.  Model simulations showed that differing rates of evapotranspiration and runoff associated with different upland plant-cover categories in the surrounding catchment produced differences in wetland water budgets and linked ecological dynamics.  Wetland water levels were highest and vegetation the most dynamic under the managed-grassland simulations, while water levels were the lowest and vegetation the least dynamic under the unmanaged-grassland simulations.  The modeling results suggest that unmanaged grassland, often planted for waterfowl nesting, may produce the least favorable wetland conditions for birds, especially in drier regions of the Prairie Pothole Region.  These results stand as hypotheses that urgently need to be verified with empirical data.","language":"English","publisher":"Wiley Online","doi":"10.1890/05-1195","usgsCitation":"Voldseth, R., Johnson, W., Gilmanov, T., Guntenspergen, G., and Millett, B., 2007, Model estimation of land-use effects on water levels of northern Prairie wetlands: Ecological Applications, v. 17, no. 2, p. 527-540, https://doi.org/10.1890/05-1195.","productDescription":"14 p.","startPage":"527","endPage":"540","costCenters":[{"id":531,"text":"Patuxent Wildlife Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":202770,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"Canada, United States","state":"Iowa, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota","otherGeospatial":"Prairie Pothole Region","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -116.54296874999999,\n              50.233151832472245\n            ],\n            [\n              -108.896484375,\n              47.87214396888731\n            ],\n            [\n              -104.94140625,\n              47.45780853075031\n            ],\n            [\n              -102.39257812499999,\n              47.635783590864854\n            ],\n            [\n              -101.162109375,\n              44.402391829093915\n            ],\n            [\n              -99.40429687500001,\n              42.74701217318067\n            ],\n            [\n              -95.88867187500001,\n              41.57436130598913\n            ],\n            [\n              -95.625,\n              45.89000815866182\n            ],\n            [\n              -95.888671875,\n              49.89463439573421\n            ],\n            [\n              -111.884765625,\n              51.56341232867585\n            ],\n            [\n              -116.54296874999999,\n              50.233151832472245\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"17","issue":"2","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4b05e4b07f02db699b3d","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Voldseth, R.A.","contributorId":80778,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Voldseth","given":"R.A.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":342683,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Johnson, W.C.","contributorId":68003,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Johnson","given":"W.C.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":342681,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Gilmanov, T.","contributorId":72892,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Gilmanov","given":"T.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":342682,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Guntenspergen, G.R. 0000-0002-8593-0244","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8593-0244","contributorId":95424,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Guntenspergen","given":"G.R.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":342684,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Millett, B.V.","contributorId":48274,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Millett","given":"B.V.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":342680,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5}]}}

Typically, researchers have detected <i>B. dendrobatidis</i> only when examining amphibians for causes of mortalities; few data exist on infection rates where mortalities are lacking. During May-September 2000-2002 we obtained amphibian specimens killed by vehicles and others collected at remote off-road sites throughout Maine, USA, and from federal lands in 5 states in the Northeast. We detected infected specimens, mostly green frogs (<i>Rana clamitans</i>), at 5 of 7 national wildlife refuges, a federal waterfowl production area, and Acadia National Park. Seven of 9 species, including all Ranidae species, were infected throughout Maine; rates ranged from 14.6% in American toads (<i>Bufo americanus</i>) to 25.7% in northern leopard frogs (<i>Rana pipiens</i>). We did not detect any infections in 50 eastern gray tree frogs (<i>Hyla versicolor</i>) or 21 spring peepers (<i>Pseudacris crucifer</i>). Species that hibernate in terrestrial habitats seem to have lower rates of infection than species that hibernate in aquatic habitats. Infections peaked in spring and autumn and were associated with air temperatures optimal for <i>B. dendrobatidis</i> growth. The relatively high infection rates among species without documented die-offs suggest that either losses have occurred undetected, that the fungus is endemic and species have attained a level of resistance to infections becoming lethal, or that climatic conditions of the Northeast have a role in preventing infections from being lethal. Data on prevalence and distribution of this chytrid fungus in the Northeast may be useful in modeling its origins and predicting long-term ecosystem effects involving

We censused organisms inhabiting catch basins in southern Rhode Island in 2002 in an effort to begin to describe these communities.  Catch-basin inhabitants were mostly detritivores, including annelids, arthropods, and mollusks that could withstand low oxygen levels and droughts.  Our results suggest that catch-basin inhabitants were mostly washed in with rainwater, and populations increased over the summer season as biotic activity resulted in increased nutrient levels later in the summer.  In contrast, mosquitoes and other Diptera larvae were abundant earlier in the summer because the adults actively sought catch basins for oviposition sites.  Mosquito larvae were likely to be abundant in catch basins with shallow, stagnant water that had relatively low dissolved oxygen and pH, and relatively high total suspended solids, carbon, and nitrogen.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Northeastern Naturalist","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","collaboration":"6773_Butler.pdf","usgsCitation":"Butler, M., Ginsberg, H., LeBrun, R., Gettman, A., and Pollnak, F., 2007, Natural communities in catch basins in southern Rhode Island: Northeastern Naturalist, v. 14, no. 2, p. 235-250.","productDescription":"235-250","startPage":"235","endPage":"250","numberOfPages":"16","costCenters":[{"id":531,"text":"Patuxent Wildlife Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":198348,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":16856,"rank":200,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://www.bioone.org/perlserv/?request=get-abstract&doi=10.1656%2F1092-6194%282007%2914%5B235%3ANCICBI%5D2.0.CO%3B2","linkFileType":{"id":5,"text":"html"}}],"volume":"14","issue":"2","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4b00e4b07f02db698335","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Butler, M.","contributorId":30313,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Butler","given":"M.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":342698,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Ginsberg, H.

Grazing by geese eliminated rice outside exclosures, whereas protected plants achieved greater size, density, and produced more panicles than rice occurring in natural stands. The observed loss of rice on the Patuxent River reflects both the sensitivity of this annual plant to herbivory and the destructive nature of an overabundance of resident geese on natural marsh vegetation.

We also tested whether plumage coloration affected over-winter survival and whether concentrations of PCBs in eggs differed between birds that did and that did not return the following year. Apparent survival rates were calculated using mark-recapture methods and compared using Akaike's Information Criterion. Model-adjusted survival rates ranged from 0.365 to 0.467 for PCB-contaminated females and between 0.404 and 0.476 for reference females. Models with either survival or capture probability modeled as functions of treatment (degree of PCB contamination), year, and age received some support.

Fifty-four percent of the total model weights involved models in which survival was a function of PCB treatment. Eggs were collected for contaminant analyses from a random sample of females that did and that did not return the following year. Concentrations of total PCBs were the same or higher in the eggs of females that returned compared to the eggs of those that did not return at both the highly and the moderately contaminated PCB sites. This may have resulted from higher-quality females with higher lipid reserves being more likely than lower-quality females to return the following year. Percentage lipid was positively correlated with total PCBs in eggs. Survival rates were similar among swallows with brown versus blue plumage.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"Wiley","doi":"10.1897/06-337R.1","usgsCitation":"Custer, C.M., Custer, T., Hines, J., Nichols, J., and Dummer, P., 2007, Adult tree swallow (Tachycineta bicolor) survival on the polychlorinated biphenyl-contaminated Housatonic River, Massachusetts, USA: Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, v. 26, no. 5, p. 1056-1065, https://doi.org/10.1897/06-337R.1.","productDescription":"10 p.","startPage":"1056","endPage":"1065","costCenters":[{"id":531,"text":"Patuxent Wildlife Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":476864,"rank":1,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1897/06-337r.1","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":202263,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Massachusetts","otherGeospatial":"Housatonic River","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -73.25065612792967,\n              42.31286205312122\n            ],\n            [\n              -73.22868347167969,\n              42.31286205312122\n            ],\n            [\n              -73.22868347167969,\n              42.43663368650024\n            ],\n            [\n              -73.25065612792967,\n              42.43663368650024\n            ],\n            [\n              -73.25065612792967,\n              42.31286205312122\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"26","issue":"5","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2007-05-01","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4b03e4b07f02db698dfe","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Custer, Christine M. 0000-0003-0500-1582","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0500-1582","contributorId":31330,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Custer","given":"Christine","email":"","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":342621,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Custer, T.

We used Mahalanobis Distance (MD) analysis to classify the refuge?s wetlands as poor or good waterbird habitat based on five variables: percent emergent vegetation, percent shrub, percent open water, relative richness of vegetative types, and an interspersion juxtaposition index that measures adjacency of vegetation patches.  Mahalanobis Distance is a multivariate statistic that examines whether a particular data point is an outlier or a member of a data cluster while accounting for correlations among inputs.  For each wetland, we used MD analysis to quantify a distance from a reference condition defined a priori by habitat conditions measured in MNWR wetlands used by waterbirds.  Twenty-five wetlands declined in quality between the two periods, whereas 23 wetlands improved.  We identified specific wetland characteristics that may be modified to improve habitat conditions for waterbirds.  The MD analysis seems ideal for instituting an adaptive wetland management approach because metrics can be easily added or removed, ranges of target habitat conditions can be defined by field-collected data, and the analysis can identify priorities for single or multiple management objectives.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Wetlands","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","collaboration":"6736_Hierl.pdf","usgsCitation":"Hierl, L., Loftin, C., Longcore, J.R., McAuley, D., and Urban, D., 2007, A multivariate assessment of changes in wetland habitat for waterbirds at Moosehorn National Wildlife Refuge, Maine, USA: Wetlands, v. 27, no. 1, p. 141-152.","productDescription":"141-152","startPage":"141","endPage":"152","numberOfPages":"12","costCenters":[{"id":531,"text":"Patuxent Wildlife Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":202080,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":16842,"rank":200,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://www.bioone.org/perlserv/?request=get-abstract&doi=10.1672%2F0277-5212%282007%2927%5B141%3AAMAOCI%5D2.0.CO%3B2","linkFileType":{"id":5,"text":"html"}}],"volume":"27","issue":"1","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4b23e4b07f02db6ade4d","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Hierl, L.A.","contributorId":46197,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Hierl","given":"L.A.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":342609,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Loftin, C.S.","contributorId":92771,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Loftin","given":"C.S.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":342611,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Longcore, J.

Hydrologic connectivity is the water-mediated transport of matter, energy and organisms within or between elements of the hydrologic cycle.  Headwater streams compose over two-thirds of total stream length in a typical river drainage and directly connect the upland and riparian landscape to the rest of the stream ecosystem.  Altering headwater streams, e.g., by channelization, diversion through pipes, impoundment and burial, modifies fluxes between uplands and downstream river segments and eliminates distinctive habitats.  The large-scale ecological effects of altering headwaters are amplified by land uses that alter runoff and nutrient loads to streams, and by widespread dam construction on larger rivers (which frequently leaves free-flowing upstream portions of river systems essential to sustaining aquatic biodiversity).  We discuss three examples of large-scale consequences of cumulative headwater alteration.  Downstream eutrophication and coastal hypoxia result, in part, from agricultural practices that alter headwaters and wetlands while increasing nutrient runoff.  Extensive headwater alteration is also expected to lower secondary productivity of river systems by reducing stream-system length and trophic subsidies to downstream river segments, affecting aquatic communities and terrestrial wildlife that utilize aquatic resources.  Reduced viability of freshwater biota may occur with cumulative headwater alteration, including for species that occupy a range of stream sizes but for which headwater streams diversify the network of interconnected populations or enhance survival for particular life stages.  Developing a more predictive understanding of ecological patterns that may emerge on regional scales as a result of headwater alterations will require studies focused on components and pathways that connect headwaters to river, coastal and terrestrial ecosystems.  Linkages between headwaters and downstream ecosystems cannot be discounted when addressing large-scale issues such as hypoxia in the Gulf of Mexico and global losses of biodiversity.","language":"English","publisher":"Wiley Online Library","doi":"10.1111/j.1752-1688.2007.00002.x","usgsCitation":"Freeman, M.C., Pringle, C.M., and Jackson, C., 2007, Hydrologic connectivity and the contribution of stream headwaters to ecological integrity at regional scales: Journal of the American Water Resources Association, v. 43, no. 1, p. 5-14, https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1752-1688.2007.00002.x.","productDescription":"10 p.","startPage":"5","endPage":"14","costCenters":[{"id":531,"text":"Patuxent Wildlife Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":202769,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"43","issue":"1","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2007-01-26","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4ad5e4b07f02db68334b","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Freeman, Mary C. 0000-0001-7615-6923","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7615-6923","contributorId":99659,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Freeman","given":"Mary","email":"","middleInitial":"C.","affiliations":[{"id":531,"text":"Patuxent Wildlife Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":342588,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Pringle, C.

Premining streamflow characteristics and streamflow gain-loss variation were determined so that pre- and postmining gain-loss characteristics could be compared. This report describes the methods used in this study and the results of two streamflow-measurement sets collected during low-flow conditions.\r\n\r\nStreamflow gain-loss measurements were collected using rhodamine WT and sodium bromide tracers at four sites spanning the mine-permit area on June 26-28, 2007. Streamflows were estimated and compared between four measurement sites within three stream subreaches of the study reach. Data from two streamflow-gaging stations on Hubbard Creek upstream and downstream from the mine-permit area were evaluated. Streamflows at the stations were continuous, and flow at the upstream station nearly always exceeded the streamflow at the downstream station. Furthermore, streamflow at both stations showed similar diurnal patterns with traveltime offsets.\r\n\r\nOn June 26, streamflow from the gain-loss measurements was greater at site 1 (most upstream site) than at site 4 (most downstream site); on June 27, streamflow was greater at site 4 than at site 2; and on June 27, there was no difference in streamflow between sites 2 and 3. Data from streamflow-gaging stations 09132940 and 09132960 showed diurnal variations and overall decreasing streamflow over time. The data indicate a dynamic system, and streamflow can increase or decrease depending on hydrologic conditions. The streamflow within the study reach was greater than the streamflows at either the upstream or downstream stations.\r\n\r\nA second set of gain-loss measurements was collected at sites 2 and 4 on November 8-9, 2007. On November 8, streamflow was greater at site 4 than at site 2, and on the following day, November 9, streamflow was greater at site 2 than at site 4. Data collection on November 8 occurred while the streamflow was increasing due to contributions from stream ice melting throughout different parts of the basin. Data collection on November 9 occurred earlier in the day with less stream ice melting and more steady-state conditions, so the indication that streamflow decreased between sites 2 and 4 may be more accurate.\r\n\r\nDiurnal variations in streamflow are common at both the upper and the lower streamflow-gaging stations. The upper streamflow-gaging station shows a melt-freeze influence from tributaries to Hubbard Creek during the winter season. Downstream from the study reach, observed diurnal variation is likely due to evapotranspiration associated with dense flood-plain vegetation, which consumes water from the creek during the middle of the day. Varying diurnal patterns in streamflow, combined with possible variations in tributary inflows to Hubbard Creek in the study reach, probably account for the observed variations in streamflow at the tracer measurement sites.\r\n\r\nDuring both sampling periods in June and November 2007, conditions were less than ideal and not steady state. The June 27 sampling indicates that the streamflow was increasing between measurement sites 2 and 4, and the November 9 sampling indicates that the streamflow was decreasing between measurement sites 2 and 4. The data collected during the diurnal and day-to-day variations in streamflow indicated that the streamflow reach is dynamic and can be gaining, losing, or constant. \r\n","language":"ENGLISH","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","doi":"10.3133/sir20095271","collaboration":"Prepared in cooperation with Bowie Mining Company","usgsCitation":"Ruddy, B.C., and Williams, C.A., 2007, Evaluation of Streamflow Gain-Loss Characteristics of Hubbard Creek, in the Vicinity of a Mine-Permit Area, Delta County, Colorado, 2007: U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Report 2009-5271, vi, 19 p. , https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20095271.","productDescription":"vi, 19 p.

With sea level rise greater than marsh elevation increase, marshes can be submerged, marsh soils become waterlogged, and plant growth becomes stressed, often resulting in conversion of vegetation-dominated marsh to mudflat or open water habitat.  Given that the rate of sea level rise is expected to accelerate over the next century and that some marshes in the northeast are becoming submerged (e.g., Jamaica Bay, NY), it is important to understand the processes that control marsh development.  More specifically, the objectives of this project were to quantify vertical marsh elevation change in relation to recent rates of sea-level rise and to investigate factors or processes that are most influential in controlling the development and maintenance of Fire Island salt marshes.","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. National Park Service, Northeast Region","publisherLocation":"Boston, MA","collaboration":"  PDF on file: 6819_Roman.pdf","usgsCitation":"Roman, C.T., King, D., Cahoon, D.R., Lynch, J., and Appleby, P., 2007, Evaluation of marsh development processes at Fire Island National Seashore:  Recent and historic perspectives, viii, 62.","productDescription":"viii, 62","costCenters":[{"id":531,"text":"Patuxent Wildlife Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":200726,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":91886,"rank":100,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://www.nps.gov/nero/science/FINAL/FIIS_marsh/FIIS_marsh.htm","linkFileType":{"id":5,"text":"html"}},{"id":91887,"rank":300,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://www.nps.gov/nero/science/FINAL/FIIS_marsh/FIIS_marsh_sealevel_final_July07_v2.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}}],"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4ae2e4b07f02db688bb6","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Roman, C.

Drift traps equipped with audio lures produced 3,897 Sora and 417 Virginia Rail (</span><i>Rallus limicola</i><span>) captures during the seven-year study. Sora captures were characterized by a high proportion (70% to 90%) of young-of-the year and a paucity of between-year recaptures (N = 12). Radio-telemetry studies depicted Soras as long-distance migrants with high stopover survival and a critical dependence on tidal freshwater marshes for migratory fattening. Here, the high productivity of Wild Rice, Smartweeds (</span><i>Polygonum<span>&nbsp;</span></i><span>spp.) and other seed-bearing annual plants seem intrinsically linked to Sora migratory fitness. A stopover period of &gt;40 days and mean mass gain of +0.6g/d suggests Soras are accumulating large fat reserves for long-distance flight. Radio tracking confirmed Soras as strong flyers with a demonstrated overnight (ten h) flight range of 700-900+ km. Given the potential size of fat reserves and the ability to use tail winds, it is conceivable for Soras to make nonstop flights from the Patuxent River to Florida, the Bahamas, or even the Caribbean. Once a widely hunted species, a single sport-hunting recovery from our 3,900 bandings attests to the decline in popularity of the Sora as a game bird in the Atlantic Flyway. We suggest the few between-year recaptures observed in our bandings results from three possible factors: 1) the strong influence of wind drift on migration, 2) different migration chronology or flight path of AHY versus HY birds, and/or 3) high mortality of especially HY birds during Atlantic coastal and Gulf crossings. The critical dependence of Soras and other seed-dependent, fall-migrant waterbirds on highly productive yet limited tidal freshwater marsh habitats make conservation of such areas a priority mission within the Chesapeake Bay.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Waterbird Society","doi":"10.1675/1524-4695(2007)030[0105:SITMBA]2.0.CO;2","usgsCitation":"Haramis, G., and Kearns, G.D., 2007, Soras in tidal marsh: Banding and telemetry studies on the Patuxent River, Maryland: Waterbirds, v. 30, p. 105-121, https://doi.org/10.1675/1524-4695(2007)030[0105:SITMBA]2.0.CO;2.","productDescription":"17 p.","startPage":"105","endPage":"121","costCenters":[{"id":531,"text":"Patuxent Wildlife Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":200834,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Maryland","otherGeospatial":"Patuxent River","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -76.73194885253906,\n              38.70694605159386\n            ],\n            [\n              -76.67324066162108,\n              38.70694605159386\n            ],\n            [\n              -76.67324066162108,\n              38.80225962384822\n            ],\n            [\n              -76.73194885253906,\n              38.80225962384822\n            ],\n            [\n              -76.73194885253906,\n              38.70694605159386\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"30","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e49e6e4b07f02db5e7788","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Haramis, G.

Situated at the interface of land and water, these valuable habitats are vulnerable to alteration and loss by human activities including direct conversion to non-wetland habitat by dredge-and-fill activities from land development, and to the effects of excessive nutrients, altered hydrology and runoff, contaminants, prescribed fire management, and invasive species. Processes such as sea-level rise and climate change also impact wetlands. Although local, State, and Federal regulations provide for protection of wetland resources, the conversion and loss of wetland habitats continue in the Bay watershed. Given the critical values of wetlands, the Chesapeake 2000 Agreement has a goal to achieve a net gain in wetlands by restoring 25,000 acres of tidal and nontidal wetlands by 2010.

While many studies have focused on the problems associated with environmental degradation such as the losses of coastal wetlands and submerged vegetation, a number of restoration efforts have been launched in the past few decades to reverse the 'sea of despair.'  Most pertinent to waterbirds, restoration of submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) beds, tidal wetland restoration, oyster reef restoration, and island creation/restoration have benefited a number of species.  State and federal agencies and non government agencies have formed partnerships to spawn many projects ranging in size from less than 0.5 ha to ca. 1,000 ha.  While most SAV, wetland, and oyster reef projects have struggled to different degrees over the past ten to twenty years with inconsistent methods, irregular monitoring, and unknown reasons for failures, recent improvements in techniques and application of adaptive management have been made.  The large dredge-material island at Hart-Miller Island near Baltimore, Poplar Island west of Tilghman Island, Maryland, and Craney Island Portsmouth, Virginia have provided large outdoor 'laboratories' for wildlife, fishery, and wetland habitat creation.  All three have proven to be important for nesting waterbirds and migrant shorebirds and waterfowl; however nesting populations at all three islands have been compromised to different degrees by predators.  Restoration success for waterbirds and other natural resources depends on: (1) establishing realistic, quantifiable objectives and performance criteria, (2) continued monitoring and management (e.g., predator control), (3) targeted research to determine causality, and (4) careful evaluation under an adaptive management regime.","largerWorkType":{"id":4,"text":"Book"},"largerWorkTitle":"Waterbirds of the Chesapeake Bay and Vicinity:  Harbingers of Change?

A screening level risk assessment was conducted that examined potential contaminant threats at 52 Important Bird Areas (IBAs) in the northeastern Atlantic coast drainage.  Using geographic information system methodology, data layers describing or integrating pollutant hazards (impaired waters, fish or wildlife consumption advisories, toxic release inventory data, estimated pesticide use and hazard) were overlaid on buffered IBA boundaries, and the relative contaminant threat for each site was ranked.  The 10 sites identified as having the greatest contaminant threats included Jefferson National Forest, Stewart B. McKinney National Wildlife Refuge, Great Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Refuge, Blue Ridge Parkway, Shenandoah National Park, Adirondack Park, Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge, George Washington National Forest, Green Mountain National Forest, and Long Island Piping Plover Beaches.  These sites accounted for over 50% of the entire study area, and in general had moderate to high percentages of impaired waters, fish consumption advisories related to mercury and PCBs, and were located in counties with substantial application rates of pesticides known to be toxic to birds.  Avian species at these IBAs include Federally endangered Roseate terns (Sterna dougallii), threatened piping plovers (Charadrius melodus), neotropical migrants, Bicknell?s thrush (Catharus bicknelli), Swainson?s warbler (Limnothlypis swainsonii) and wintering brant geese (Branta bernicla).  Extant data for free-ranging birds from the Contaminant Exposure and Effects--Terrestrial Vertebrates database were examined within the buffered boundaries of each IBA, and for a moderate number of sites there was qualitative concordance between the perceived risk and actual contaminant exposure data.  However, several of the IBAs with substantial contaminant hazards (e.g., Blue Ridge Parkway, George Washington National Forest, Shenandoah National Park) had no recent avian ecotoxicological data.  Contaminant biomonitoring is warranted at such sites, and data generated from such efforts should foster natural resource management activities.","largerWorkType":{"id":4,"text":"Book"},"largerWorkTitle":"28th Annual Meeting of the Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry North America, Midwest Express Center, Milwaukee, Wisconsin (USA), 11-15 Nov.","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":4,"text":"Other Government Series"},"language":"English","usgsCitation":"Rattner, B., and Ackerson, B., 2007, Potential environmental contaminant risks to avian species at important bird areas in the northeastern United States, chap. <i>of</i> 28th Annual Meeting of the Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry North America, Midwest Express Center, Milwaukee, Wisconsin (USA), 11-15 Nov.","productDescription":"334","startPage":"33 (abstra","numberOfPages":"334","costCenters":[{"id":531,"text":"Patuxent Wildlife Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":202480,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4ad5e4b07f02db683791","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Rattner, Barnett A. 0000-0003-3676-2843","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3676-2843","contributorId":95843,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Rattner","given":"Barnett A.","affiliations":[{"id":50464,"text":"Eastern Ecological Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":331029,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Ackerson, B.K.","contributorId":20853,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Ackerson","given":"B.K.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":331028,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}}
