We documented 22 amphibian species—15 frogs and 7 salamanders—with a possible 23rd species present. Species richness was lower than what might be expected from amphibian field guides of species inhabiting the adjacent Coastal Plain, likely due to a lack of specialized habitats, such as temporary ponds and upland pine forest. Amphibians occupied a variety of habitats and appeared tolerant of the mildly acidic and low-oxygen conditions of many of the wetlands. Although additional species may be found at SNWR, this initial survey provides a historic baseline for monitoring amphibian populations as areas adjacent to the refuge are disturbed, the climate changes, and multi-use management objectives are implemented within refuge boundaries.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Eagle Hill Institute","doi":"10.1656/058.016.0405","usgsCitation":"Dodd, C.K., and Barichivich, W.J., 2017, A survey of the amphibians of Savannah National Wildlife Refuge, South Carolina and Georgia: Southeastern Naturalist, v. 16, no. 4, p. 529-545, https://doi.org/10.1656/058.016.0405.","productDescription":"17 p.","startPage":"529","endPage":"545","ipdsId":"IP-086425","costCenters":[{"id":17705,"text":"Wetland and Aquatic Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":438134,"rank":0,"type":{"id":30,"text":"Data Release"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.5066/F7ST7NRD","text":"USGS data release","linkHelpText":"Survey of the amphibians of Savannah National Wildlife Refuge, South Carolina and Georgia, U.S.A."},{"id":355311,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Georgia, South Carolina","otherGeospatial":"Savannah National Wildlife Refuge","volume":"16","issue":"4","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":5,"text":"Lafayette PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5b46e624e4b060350a15d257","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Dodd, C.

Resource managers periodically release controlled floods from the upstream Glen Canyon Dam to rebuild these bars (Grams et al., 2015), which erode during fluctuating dam releases, and by hillslope runoff and wind deflation (Hazel et al., 2010). Because the dam blocks upstream sediment, episodic floods from tributaries provide the only supply to replace eroded sand; and much of this sand originates from a single tributary (Topping et al., 2000). Here, we present new evidence for the downstream translation of the sand component of these sediment inputs as discontinuous sand pulses. Improved understanding of the behaviour of these sand pulses may be used to adjust the timing, magnitude, and duration of controlled floods to maximize potential for deposition on sandbars in different segments of the 450 km-long Grand Canyon. </p>","largerWorkType":{"id":4,"text":"Book"},"largerWorkTitle":"RCEM 2017 – Back to Italy—The 10th Symposium on River, Coastal and Estuarine Morphodynamics","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":12,"text":"Conference publication"},"conferenceTitle":"RCEM 2017 – Back to Italy—The 10th Symposium on River, Coastal and Estuarine Morphodynamics","conferenceDate":"September 15-22, 2017","conferenceLocation":"Trento-Padova, Italy","language":"English","publisher":"University of Trento - Italy","usgsCitation":"Grams, P.E., Buscombe, D.D., Topping, D.J., and Mueller, E.R., 2017, Sand pulses and sand patches on the Colorado River in Grand Canyon , <i>in</i> RCEM 2017 – Back to Italy—The 10th Symposium on River, Coastal and Estuarine Morphodynamics, Trento-Padova, Italy, September 15-22, 2017, p. 183-183.","productDescription":"1 p.","startPage":"183","endPage":"183","ipdsId":"IP-083759","costCenters":[{"id":568,"text":"Southwest Biological Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":347602,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://events.unitn.it/en/rcem17"},{"id":352024,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","otherGeospatial":"Colorado River, Grand Canyon","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":14,"text":"Menlo Park PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5afee7abe4b0da30c1bfc34b","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Grams, Paul E. 0000-0002-0873-0708 pgrams@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0873-0708","contributorId":1830,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Grams","given":"Paul","email":"pgrams@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"E.","affiliations":[{"id":568,"text":"Southwest Biological Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":717204,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Buscombe, Daniel D. 0000-0001-6217-5584","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6217-5584","contributorId":198817,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Buscombe","given":"Daniel","middleInitial":"D.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":717205,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Topping, David J. 0000-0002-2104-4577 dtopping@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2104-4577","contributorId":140985,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Topping","given":"David","email":"dtopping@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[{"id":568,"text":"Southwest Biological Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":717206,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Mueller, Erich R. 0000-0001-8202-154X emueller@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8202-154X","contributorId":4930,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Mueller","given":"Erich","email":"emueller@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"R.","affiliations":[{"id":568,"text":"Southwest Biological Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":717207,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4}]}}

Wildlife rehabilitation is often costly, and the resulting benefits differ depending on whether one’s interest is in the welfare of individual animals or conserving populations. Two examples of this dilemma include the rehabilitation of oiled sea otters following the Exxon Valdez spill in Prince William Sound, Alaska, and the rehabilitation of stranded sea otter pups in central California. In the first example, substantial financial investment resulted in little or no benefits for population conservation. In the second example, the potential for population-level benefits is context dependent: in populations near carrying capacity the conservation impacts are negligible, whereas in isolated, low-density populations rehabilitation and release can be an effective conservation tool. Wildlife rehabilitation is valued by people for various reasons, but recognizing and acknowledging the difference between individual and population welfare is an important step toward effective wildlife conservation.</span></p>","largerWorkType":{"id":4,"text":"Book"},"largerWorkTitle":"Effective conservation science: Data not dogma","language":"English","publisher":"Oxford University Press","doi":"10.1093/oso/9780198808978.003.0020","isbn":"9780198808978","usgsCitation":"Estes, J.A., and Tinker, M.T., 2017, Rehabilitating sea otters: Feeling good versus being effective, chap. 20 <i>of</i> Effective conservation science: Data not dogma, https://doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198808978.003.0020.","ipdsId":"IP-081357","costCenters":[{"id":651,"text":"Western Ecological Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":351821,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"publishingServiceCenter":{"id":1,"text":"Sacramento PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5afee7abe4b0da30c1bfc351","contributors":{"editors":[{"text":"Kareiva, Peter","contributorId":58160,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Kareiva","given":"Peter","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":729019,"contributorType":{"id":2,"text":"Editors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Marvier, Michelle","contributorId":168813,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Marvier","given":"Michelle","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":729020,"contributorType":{"id":2,"text":"Editors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Silliman, Brian","contributorId":11051,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Silliman","given":"Brian","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":729021,"contributorType":{"id":2,"text":"Editors"},"rank":3}],"authors":[{"text":"Estes, James A. jim_estes@usgs.gov","contributorId":53325,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Estes","given":"James","email":"jim_estes@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[{"id":6949,"text":"University of California, Santa Cruz","active":true,"usgs":false},{"id":651,"text":"Western Ecological Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":713468,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Tinker, M.

Here we present a novel method for translating a statistical species-habitat model, a regression analysis relating ring-necked pheasant abundance to landcover, into an interactive online tool. The Pheasant Habitat Simulator combines the analytical power of the R programming environment with the user-friendly Shiny web interface to create an online platform in which wildlife professionals can explore the effects of variation in local landcover on relative pheasant habitat suitability within spatial scales relevant to individual wildlife managers. Our tool allows users to virtually manipulate the landcover composition of a simulated space to explore how changes in landcover may affect pheasant relative habitat suitability, and guides users through the economic tradeoffs of landscape changes. We offer suggestions for development of similar interactive applications and demonstrate their potential as innovative science delivery tools for diverse professional and public audiences.","language":"English","publisher":"PLOS","doi":"10.1371/journal.pone.0188244","usgsCitation":"Wszola, L.S., Simonsen, V.L., Stuber, E.F., Gillespie, C.R., Messinger, L.N., Decker, K.L., Lusk, J.J., Jorgensen, C.F., Bishop, A.A., and Fontaine, J.J., 2017, Translating statistical species-habitat models to interactive decision support tools: PLoS ONE, v. 12, no. 12, p. 1-13, https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0188244.","productDescription":"e0188244; 13 p.","startPage":"1","endPage":"13","ipdsId":"IP-087203","costCenters":[{"id":200,"text":"Coop Res Unit Seattle","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":469262,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0188244","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":354401,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"12","issue":"12","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":12,"text":"Tacoma PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2017-12-13","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5b155e00e4b092d9651e1ba2","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Wszola, Lyndsie S.","contributorId":205135,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Wszola","given":"Lyndsie","email":"","middleInitial":"S.","affiliations":[{"id":37031,"text":"Nebraska Cooperative Fish & Wildlife Research Unit, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Lincoln, Nebraska","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":736184,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Simonsen, Victoria L.","contributorId":205136,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Simonsen","given":"Victoria","email":"","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[{"id":37031,"text":"Nebraska Cooperative Fish & Wildlife Research Unit, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Lincoln, Nebraska","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":736185,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Stuber, Erica F.","contributorId":198581,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Stuber","given":"Erica","email":"","middleInitial":"F.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":736186,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Gillespie, Caitlyn R.","contributorId":195835,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Gillespie","given":"Caitlyn","email":"","middleInitial":"R.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":736187,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Messinger, Lindsey N.","contributorId":205139,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Messinger","given":"Lindsey","email":"","middleInitial":"N.","affiliations":[{"id":37031,"text":"Nebraska Cooperative Fish & Wildlife Research Unit, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Lincoln, Nebraska","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":736188,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Decker, Karie L.","contributorId":51094,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Decker","given":"Karie","email":"","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":736189,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6},{"text":"Lusk, Jeffrey J.","contributorId":198584,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Lusk","given":"Jeffrey","email":"","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":736190,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":7},{"text":"Jorgensen, Christopher F.","contributorId":87444,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Jorgensen","given":"Christopher","email":"","middleInitial":"F.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":736191,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":8},{"text":"Bishop, Andrew A.","contributorId":93323,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Bishop","given":"Andrew","email":"","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":736192,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":9},{"text":"Fontaine, Joseph J. 0000-0002-7639-9156 jfontaine@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7639-9156","contributorId":3820,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Fontaine","given":"Joseph","email":"jfontaine@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[{"id":200,"text":"Coop Res Unit Seattle","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":198,"text":"Coop Res Unit Atlanta","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":736183,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":10}]}}

The extent to which vertebrate species may serve as suitable umbrellas for invertebrate species, however, has rarely been explored. Sage-grouse (</span><i>Centrocercus</i><span><span>&nbsp;</span>spp.) have high conservation priority throughout much of the rangelands of western North America and are considered an umbrella species through which the conservation of entire rangeland ecosystems can be accomplished. Harvester ants are ecosystem engineers and play important roles in the maintenance and function of rangeland ecosystems. We compared indices of the abundance of western harvester ants (</span><i>Pogonomyrmex occidentalis</i><span>) and Greater Sage-Grouse (</span><i>Centrocercus urophasianus</i><span>) at 72 sites in central Wyoming, USA, in 2012. The abundance of harvester ant mounds was best predicted by a regression model that included a combination of local habitat characteristics and the abundance of sage-grouse. When controlling for habitat-related factors, areas with higher abundances of sage-grouse pellets (an index of sage-grouse abundance and/or habitat use) had higher abundances of ant mounds than areas with lower abundances of sage-grouse pellets. The causal mechanism underlying this positive relationship between sage-grouse and ant mound abundance at the fine scale could be indirect (e.g., both species prefer similar environmental conditions) or direct (e.g., sage-grouse prefer areas with a high abundance of ant mounds because ants are an important prey item during certain life stages). We observed no relationship between a broad-scale index of breeding sage-grouse density and the abundance of ant mounds. We suspect that consideration of the nonbreeding habitat of sage-grouse and finer-scale measures of sagegrouse abundance are critical to the utility of sage-grouse as an umbrella species for the conservation of harvester ants and their important role in rangeland ecosystems.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Monte L.

Species surveys are the first step in assessing community structure, and recent molecular applications such as metabarcoding and environmental DNA analyses have been proposed as an additional and complementary wildlife survey method. Here, we test eDNA metabarcoding as a survey tool to examine the potential use of uranium mine containment ponds as water sources by wildlife. We tested samples from surface water near mines and from one mine containment pond using two markers, 12S and 16S rRNA gene amplicons, to survey for vertebrate species. We recovered large numbers of sequence reads from taxa expected to be in the area and from less common or hard to observe taxa such as the tiger salamander and gray fox. Detection of these two species is of note because they were not observed in a previous species assessment, and tiger salamander DNA was found in the mine containment pond sample. We also found that sample concentration by centrifugation was a more efficient and more feasible method than filtration in these highly turbid surface waters. Ultimately, the use of eDNA metabarcoding could allow for a better understanding of the area’s overall biodiversity and community composition as well as aid current ecotoxicological risk assessment work.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"MDPI","doi":"10.3390/d9040054","usgsCitation":"Klymus, K.E., Richter, C.A., Thompson, N., and Hinck, J.E., 2017, Metabarcoding of environmental DNA samples to explore the use of uranium mine containment ponds as a water source for wildlife: Diversity, v. 9, no. 4, Article 54; 18 p., https://doi.org/10.3390/d9040054.","productDescription":"Article 54; 18 p.","ipdsId":"IP-091285","costCenters":[{"id":192,"text":"Columbia Environmental Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":461341,"rank":1,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/d9040054","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":438133,"rank":0,"type":{"id":30,"text":"Data Release"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.5066/F7QC02Q5","text":"USGS data release","linkHelpText":"eDNA sampling sites in the Grand Canyon region near breccia pipe uranium mines_2015_2016"},{"id":352922,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"9","issue":"4","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":4,"text":"Rolla PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2017-11-21","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5afee79ee4b0da30c1bfc31a","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Klymus, Katy E. 0000-0002-8843-6241 kklymus@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8843-6241","contributorId":5043,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Klymus","given":"Katy","email":"kklymus@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"E.","affiliations":[{"id":192,"text":"Columbia Environmental Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":731996,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Richter, Catherine A. 0000-0001-7322-4206 crichter@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7322-4206","contributorId":138994,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Richter","given":"Catherine","email":"crichter@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[{"id":192,"text":"Columbia Environmental Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":731997,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Thompson, Nathan 0000-0002-1372-6340 nthompson@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1372-6340","contributorId":196133,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Thompson","given":"Nathan","email":"nthompson@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":192,"text":"Columbia Environmental Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":731998,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Hinck, Jo Ellen 0000-0002-4912-5766 jhinck@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4912-5766","contributorId":2743,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Hinck","given":"Jo","email":"jhinck@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"Ellen","affiliations":[{"id":192,"text":"Columbia Environmental Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":731999,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4}]}}

Although many different segmentation methodologies exist, many are complex and difficult to measure accurately during in-person intercepts, such as that of creel surveys. To address that gap in the literature, we propose a single-item measure of the importance of fishing as a surrogate to often overly- or needlesslycomplex segmentation techniques. The importance of fishing item is a measure of the value anglers place on the activity or a coarse quantification of how central the activity is to the respondent’s lifestyle (scale: 0&nbsp;=&nbsp;not important, 1&nbsp;=&nbsp;slightly, 2&nbsp;=&nbsp;moderately, 3&nbsp;=&nbsp;very, and 4&nbsp;=&nbsp;fishing is my most important recreational activity). We suggest the importance scale may be a proxy measurement for segmenting anglers using the social worlds model as a theoretical framework. Vaske (1980) suggested that commitment to recreational activities may be best understood in relation to social group participation and the social worlds model provides a rich theoretical framework for understanding social group segments. Unruh (1983) identified four types of actor involvement in social worlds: strangers, tourists, regulars, and insiders, differentiated by four characteristics (orientation, experiences, relationships, and commitment). We evaluated the importance of fishing as a segmentation variable using data collected by a mixed-mode survey of South Dakota anglers fishing in 2010. We contend that this straightforward measurement may be useful for segmenting outdoor recreation activities when more complicated segmentation schemes are not suitable. Further, this index, when coupled with the social worlds model, provides a valuable framework for understanding the segments and making management decisions.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"South Dakota Academy of Science","usgsCitation":"Gigliotti, L.M., and Chase, L., 2017, Importance of fishing as a segmentation variable in the application of a social worlds model: Proceedings of the South Dakota Academy of Science, v. 96, p. 58-76.","productDescription":"19 p.","startPage":"58","endPage":"76","ipdsId":"IP-054039","costCenters":[{"id":199,"text":"Coop Res Unit Leetown","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":354551,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":354528,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://sdaos.org/?s=Year%3A+2017"}],"volume":"96","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":9,"text":"Reston PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5b155e00e4b092d9651e1ba0","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Gigliotti, Larry M. 0000-0002-1693-5113 lgigliotti@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1693-5113","contributorId":3906,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Gigliotti","given":"Larry","email":"lgigliotti@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[{"id":199,"text":"Coop Res Unit Leetown","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":736611,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Chase, Loren","contributorId":205235,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Chase","given":"Loren","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":37061,"text":"Arizona Fish and Game Department","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":736612,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}}

We found that the synchrony of water clarity among lakes is not spatially structured at sub‐continental scales. Our results also provide strong evidence that the drivers related to spatial patterns in water clarity are not related to the temporal patterns of water clarity.

Muskellunge are also a culturally significant fish for Chippewa tribes and support a subsistence spearing fishery in Wisconsin’s Ceded Territory (Erickson 2007). Although Muskellunge populations within the state’s Ceded Territory are exposed to both angling and spearing fishery exploitation, Faust and Hansen (2016) suggested that under certain conditions (e.g., high minimum length limits (MLL) and low spearing exploitation) Muskellunge fisheries with disparate motivations could coexist (i.e., sufficient numbers of large individuals remained despite harvest from consumptive fishery), but noted that larger declines in trophy Muskellunge abundance were predicted at lower MLLs (e.g., 102-cm). Fisheries managers with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) wished to further understand how specific relative stock densities (RSD), used by the WDNR to define and monitor trophy Muskellunge fisheries, are reduced at exploitation rates commonly experienced by populations in northern Wisconsin. Similarly, understanding how trophy Muskellunge abundance may have declined under the previous statewide MLL (i.e., 86-cm) at these levels of exploitation was also desired. Thus, our objectives were to 1) determine if observed levels of angling and spearing exploitation reduced predicted RSD indices below thresholds used by the WDNR to define trophy Muskellunge fisheries for three typical Muskellunge growth potentials in northern Wisconsin across a variety of MLLs; and 2) quantify how numbers of trophy Muskellunge declined under an 86-cm MLL at observed levels of exploitation.","largerWorkType":{"id":4,"text":"Book"},"largerWorkTitle":"Muskellunge management: Fifty years of cooperation among anglers, scientists, and fisheries biologists","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":12,"text":"Conference publication"},"language":"English","publisher":"American Fisheries Society","isbn":"978-1-934874-46-2","usgsCitation":"Faust, M.D., and Hansen, M.J., 2017, Do observed levels of exploitation from consumption-oriented and trophy-oriented fisheries reduce relative stock densities of Muskellunge below target levels in northern Wisconsin?, chap. <i>of</i> Muskellunge management: Fifty years of cooperation among anglers, scientists, and fisheries biologists.","ipdsId":"IP-084755","costCenters":[{"id":324,"text":"Great Lakes Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":351539,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":351538,"rank":1,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://fisheries.org/bookstore/all-titles/afs-symposia/54085c/"}],"publishingServiceCenter":{"id":15,"text":"Madison PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5afee7abe4b0da30c1bfc345","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Faust, Matthew D.","contributorId":145776,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Faust","given":"Matthew","email":"","middleInitial":"D.","affiliations":[{"id":16232,"text":"Ohio Department of Natural Resources","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":727340,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Hansen, Michael J. 0000-0001-8522-3876 michaelhansen@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8522-3876","contributorId":5006,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Hansen","given":"Michael","email":"michaelhansen@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[{"id":324,"text":"Great Lakes Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":727339,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}}

Regionally, sea turtles face anthropogenic threats from situations\nsuch as entanglement in fishing gear and ingestion of marine debris, as well as possible changes in sex ratios due to increasing temperatures related to human-induced global warming. Locally, light pollution from residential, commercial, and industrial neighborhoods from nearby cities impacts the entirety of Gulf Islands, which spans 160 miles along the Gulf Coast, from Florida to Mississippi, and includes critical habitat for threatened and endangered sea turtles. Because light pollution has been hypothesized to negatively impact sea turtle nesting and hatchling survival, Gulf Islands undertook an effort to understand the relationship between light pollution and sea turtles and create unique educational and outreach opportunities by launching a citizen science program called Turtle Teens Helping in the Seashore (Turtle THIS). At the onset, the Turtle THIS program had two primary goals: quantify the association between light pollution and sea turtle nesting and hatching events using rigorous scientific methods; and initiate a citizen science volunteer program to provide youth with hands-on science and environmental stewardship roles, where they also gain employable skills and career opportunities. With multiple scientific hypotheses to consider, the development of a citizen science program became crucial. Such circumstances allowed Turtle THIS to grow a volunteer and intern program, quantify hypothesized light effects on sea turtles through developed methods, and begin to gather preliminary findings.","largerWorkType":{"id":4,"text":"Book"},"largerWorkTitle":"Connections across people, place, and time: Proceedings of the 2017 George Wright Society Conference on Parks, Protected Areas, and Cultural Sites","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":12,"text":"Conference publication"},"language":"English","publisher":"George Wright Society","usgsCitation":"Afford, H., Teel, S., Nicholas, M., Stanley, T.R., and White, J., 2017, Sea turtles, light pollution, and citizen science: A preliminary report, <i>in</i> Connections across people, place, and time: Proceedings of the 2017 George Wright Society Conference on Parks, Protected Areas, and Cultural Sites, p. 9-15.","productDescription":"7 p.","startPage":"9","endPage":"15","ipdsId":"IP-088000","costCenters":[{"id":291,"text":"Fort Collins Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":351533,"rank":1,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://www.georgewright.org/proceedings2017"},{"id":351534,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Florida","otherGeospatial":"Gulf Islands National Seashore, Pensacola Beach","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -87.42645263671875,\n              30.289310339324643\n            ],\n            [\n              -86.91146850585938,\n              30.289310339324643\n            ],\n            [\n              -86.91146850585938,\n              30.387684205387366\n            ],\n            [\n              -87.42645263671875,\n              30.387684205387366\n            ],\n            [\n              -87.42645263671875,\n              30.289310339324643\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":2,"text":"Denver PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5afee7aae4b0da30c1bfc33f","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Afford, Heather","contributorId":202360,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Afford","given":"Heather","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":36189,"text":"National Park Service","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":728240,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Teel, Susan","contributorId":202361,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Teel","given":"Susan","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":36189,"text":"National Park Service","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":728241,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Nicholas, Mark","contributorId":202362,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Nicholas","given":"Mark","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":36189,"text":"National Park Service","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":728242,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Stanley, Thomas R. 0000-0002-8393-0005 stanleyt@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8393-0005","contributorId":209928,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Stanley","given":"Thomas","email":"stanleyt@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"R.","affiliations":[{"id":291,"text":"Fort Collins Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":728239,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"White, Jeremy","contributorId":202363,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"White","given":"Jeremy","affiliations":[{"id":36189,"text":"National Park Service","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":728243,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5}]}}

The Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) has been widely used to assess changes in abundance and distribution of terrestrial vegetative communities. However, the efficacy of NDVI to measure seasonal changes in biomass and nutritional quality of forage plants in the Arctic remains largely un-evaluated at landscape and fine-scale levels. We modeled the relationships between NDVI and seasonal changes in aboveground biomass and nitrogen concentration in halophytic graminoids, a key food source for arctic-nesting geese. The model was calibrated based on data collected at one site and validated using data from another site. Effects of spatial scale on model accuracy were determined by comparing model predictions between NDVI derived from moderate resolution (250 × 250 m pixels) satellite data and high resolution (20 cm diameter area) handheld spectrometer data. NDVI derived from the handheld spectrometer was a superior estimator (</span><span class=\"html-italic\">R</span><sup>2</sup><span>&nbsp;≥ 0.67) of seasonal changes in aboveground biomass compared to satellite-derived NDVI (</span><span class=\"html-italic\">R</span><sup>2</sup><span>&nbsp;≤ 0.40). The addition of temperature and precipitation variables to the model for biomass improved fit, but provided minor gains in predictive power beyond that of the NDVI-only model. This model, however, was only a moderately accurate estimator of biomass in an ecologically-similar halophytic graminoid wetland located 100 km away, indicating the necessity for site-specific validation. In contrast to assessments of biomass, satellite-derived NDVI was a better estimator for the timing of peak percent of nitrogen than NDVI derived from the handheld spectrometer.

Ensuring that models reflect local population responses to varying salinity and temperature combinations requires locally appropriate models. Using long-term (1988 to 2015) monitoring data from Louisiana's public oyster reefs, we develop regionally specific models of temperature- and salinity-driven mortality (sack oysters only) and growth for spat (&lt;25 mm), seed (25–75 mm), and sack (&gt;75 mm) oyster size classes. The results demonstrate that the optimal combination of temperature and salinity where Louisiana oysters experience reduced mortality and fast growth rates is skewed toward lower salinities and higher water temperatures than previous models have suggested. Outside of that optimal range, oysters are commonly exposed to combinations of temperature and salinity that are correlated with high mortality and reduced growth. How these combinations affect growth, and to a lesser degree mortality, appears to be size class dependent. Given current climate predictions for the region and ongoing large-scale restoration activities in coastal Louisiana, the growth and mortality models are a critical step toward ensuring sustainable oyster reefs for long-term harvest and continued delivery of the ecological services in a changing environment.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"National Shellfisheries Association","doi":"10.2983/035.036.0318","collaboration":"National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, Louisiana,Department of Wildlife and Fisheries, Louisiana State University","usgsCitation":"Lowe, M.R., Sehlinger, T., Soniat, T.M., and LaPeyre, M.K., 2017, Interactive effects of water temperature and salinity on growth and mortality of eastern oysters, Crassostrea virginica: A meta-analysis using 40 years of monitoring data: Journal of Shellfish Research, v. 36, no. 3, p. 683-697, https://doi.org/10.2983/035.036.0318.","productDescription":"15 p.","startPage":"683","endPage":"697","ipdsId":"IP-088282","costCenters":[{"id":198,"text":"Coop Res Unit Atlanta","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":354203,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Louisiana","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -94,\n              29\n            ],\n            [\n              -89,\n              29\n            ],\n            [\n              -89,\n              30.5\n            ],\n            [\n              -94,\n              30.5\n            ],\n            [\n              -94,\n              29\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"36","issue":"3","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":9,"text":"Reston PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5afee79ce4b0da30c1bfc2fa","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Lowe, Michael R. 0000-0002-4645-9429","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4645-9429","contributorId":10539,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Lowe","given":"Michael","email":"","middleInitial":"R.","affiliations":[{"id":324,"text":"Great Lakes Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":735465,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Sehlinger, Troy","contributorId":204922,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Sehlinger","given":"Troy","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":735466,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Soniat, Thomas M.","contributorId":11109,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Soniat","given":"Thomas","email":"","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":735467,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"LaPeyre, Megan K. 0000-0001-9936-2252 mlapeyre@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9936-2252","contributorId":585,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"LaPeyre","given":"Megan","email":"mlapeyre@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"K.","affiliations":[{"id":198,"text":"Coop Res Unit Atlanta","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":17705,"text":"Wetland and Aquatic Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":735149,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4}]}}

We show that sustained, nutrient rich, lower pH submarine groundwater discharging onto nearshore coral reefs off west Maui lowers the pH of seawater and exposes corals to nitrate concentrations 50 times higher than ambient. Rates of coral calcification are substantially decreased, and rates of bioerosion are orders of magnitude higher than those observed in coral cores collected in the Pacific under equivalent low pH conditions but living in oligotrophic waters.

However, little is known about when these bonds form, in particular how long they are present before breeding. Previous studies of pair formation in long-term monogamous birds have been rather data-limited, but for many migratory birds they report pair formation on the wintering grounds. We provide the first systematic investigation of prebreeding association patterns of long-term monogamous pairs by examining entire life histories based on tracking data of migratory whooping cranes, Grus americana. We found that a substantial portion (62%) of breeding pairs started associating at least 12 months before first breeding, with 16 of 58 breeding pairs beginning to associate over 2 years before first breeding. For most pairs, these associations with future breeding partners also became unique and distinguishable from association patterns with nonpartner individuals 12 months before first breeding. In addition, 60% of pair associations began before at least one partner had reached nominal sexual maturity. Most pairs began associating in the late spring upon arrival at the summer grounds, while associations beginning at other times of the year were rare. Patterns in the associations of pairs prior to breeding can point to the potential benefits of prebreeding relationships, for instance providing support in competitive interactions or increasing partner familiarity.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"Elsevier","doi":"10.1016/j.anbehav.2017.10.015","usgsCitation":"Teitelbaum, C., Converse, S.J., and Mueller, T., 2017, Birds choose long-term partners years before breeding: Animal Behaviour, v. 134, p. 147-154, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.anbehav.2017.10.015.","productDescription":"8 p.","startPage":"147","endPage":"154","ipdsId":"IP-085772","costCenters":[{"id":200,"text":"Coop Res Unit Seattle","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":352649,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"134","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":12,"text":"Tacoma PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5afee7aae4b0da30c1bfc331","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Teitelbaum, Claire S.","contributorId":174360,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Teitelbaum","given":"Claire S.","affiliations":[{"id":27439,"text":"Senckenberg Biodiversity and Climate Research Centre","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":731382,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Converse, Sarah J. 0000-0002-3719-5441 sconverse@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3719-5441","contributorId":173772,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Converse","given":"Sarah","email":"sconverse@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[{"id":531,"text":"Patuxent Wildlife Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":200,"text":"Coop Res Unit Seattle","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":731349,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Mueller, Thomas","contributorId":91393,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Mueller","given":"Thomas","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":731383,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3}]}}

Available data suggests that bee populations worldwide are declining, but scarce data in tropical regions precludes assessing their status and distribution, impact on ecological services, and response to management actions. Herein, we reviewed &gt;150 papers that used six common sampling methods (pan traps, baits, Malaise traps, sweep nets, timed observations and aspirators) to better understand their strengths and weaknesses, and help guide method selection to meet research objectives and development of multi-species monitoring approaches. Several studies evaluated the effectiveness of sweep nets, pan traps, and malaise traps, but only one evaluated timed observations, and none evaluated aspirators. Only five studies compared two or more of the remaining four sampling methods to each other. There was little consensus regarding which method would be most reliable for sampling multiple species. However, we recommend that if the objective of the study is to estimate abundance or species richness, malaise traps, pan traps and sweep nets are the most effective sampling protocols in open tropical systems; conversely, malaise traps, nets and baits may be the most effective in forests. Declining bee populations emphasize the critical need in method standardization and reporting precision. Moreover, we recommend reporting a catchability coefficient, a measure of the interaction between the resource (bee) abundance and catching effort. Melittologists could also consider existing methods, such as occupancy models, to quantify changes in distribution and abundance after modeling heterogeneity in trapping probability, and consider the possibility of developing monitoring frameworks that draw from multiple sources of data.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Springer","doi":"10.1007/s10841-017-0018-8","usgsCitation":"Prado, S.G., Ngo, H.T., Florez, J.A., and Collazo, J., 2017, Sampling bees in tropical forests and agroecosystems: A review: Journal of Insect Conservation, v. 21, no. 5-6, p. 753-770, https://doi.org/10.1007/s10841-017-0018-8.","productDescription":"18 p.","startPage":"753","endPage":"770","ipdsId":"IP-082870","costCenters":[{"id":198,"text":"Coop Res Unit Atlanta","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":469286,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s10841-017-0018-8","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":353848,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"21","issue":"5-6","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":9,"text":"Reston PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2017-08-22","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5afee79de4b0da30c1bfc30c","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Prado, Sara G.","contributorId":204504,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Prado","given":"Sara","email":"","middleInitial":"G.","affiliations":[{"id":7091,"text":"North Carolina State University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":734202,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Ngo, Hien T.","contributorId":204505,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Ngo","given":"Hien","email":"","middleInitial":"T.","affiliations":[{"id":36950,"text":"United Nations, Bonn","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":734203,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Florez, Jaime A.","contributorId":204506,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Florez","given":"Jaime","email":"","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[{"id":6682,"text":"Utah State University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":734204,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Collazo, Jaime A. 0000-0002-1816-7744 jaime_collazo@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1816-7744","contributorId":173448,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Collazo","given":"Jaime A.","email":"jaime_collazo@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":198,"text":"Coop Res Unit Atlanta","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":199,"text":"Coop Res Unit Leetown","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":734201,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4}]}}
