The success of reintroductions is usually judged by the establishment of self-sustaining populations, restoration of naturally occurring ecological communities, and the species resuming its ecological function. Recovery for the endangered San Francisco gartersnake (SFGS, <i>Thamnophis sirtalis tetrataenia</i>), a subspecies with a small range in San Mateo and Santa Cruz counties in California, will likely require reintroduction and establishment of new populations within its historical range. La Honda Creek Open Space Preserve (LHC), managed by the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District (MROSD), is one potential site for the reintroduction of SFGS. The La Honda Creek Open Space Preserve is a preserve managed for wildlife, recreation, grazing, and agriculture located near extant populations of SFGS inhabiting other open space preserves managed by MROSD (Cloverdale Ranch Open Space Preserve [CR]; Russian Ridge Open Space Preserve [RR]). We compared the habitat and prey communities at LHC to nearby open space preserves that support extant SFGS populations. Based on pond surveys done annually since 2008, the occurrence of California red-legged frogs (<i>Rana draytonii</i>), Sierran chorus frogs (<i>Pseudacris sierra</i>), and Pacific newts (<i>Taricha</i>&nbsp;spp.) at LHC indicates a similar prey community at this preserve to those at CR and RR. Likewise, the landscape at LHC is a similar mosaic of wetlands, open grassland, shrub-dominated scrub, and coast redwood (<i>Sequoia sempervirens</i>) and Douglas fir (<i>Pseudotsuga menziesii</i>) forest that meets the habitat requirements for the life history of SFGS at CR and RR. One difference between LHC and preserves with SFGS populations is the lack of vegetative cover immediately adjacent to some wetlands at LHC, which could affect the ability of SFGS to disperse from wetlands and find terrestrial refuges. To evaluate alternative reintroduction strategies, we simulated population viability for a fixed number of SFGS released at LHC into one to six subpopulations (where each wetland represents a subpopulation) over a period from 5 to 20 years. Population simulations indicated that the highest average viability (in other words, the lowest probability of quasi-extinction) occurred when all SFGS were released into a single subpopulation and releases continued annually for 15 to 20 years. Our results indicate that LHC is a good candidate for reintroducing SFGS with suitable habitat, climate, and prey for this snake subspecies. Supporting SFGS populations at LHC could require habitat management to provide sufficient vegetative cover in the terrestrial environment near wetlands. Maintaining genetic diversity in the reintroduced population will also be paramount to ensure negative effects of inbreeding and homozygosity do not affect population viability.</p></div>","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","publisherLocation":"Reston, VA","doi":"10.3133/ofr20241073","collaboration":"Midpeninsula Regional Open Space

Unsuitable environmental conditions at translocation recipient sites and a lack of understanding of species–environment relationships are often identified as critical barriers to translocation success. However, previous syntheses have drawn these inferences from analyses of qualitative feedback rather than quantitative environmental data.</li><li>In this study, we use a data set of 235 translocations conducted in the US to understand the influences of geographic and environmental factors on three metrics of translocation success: population persistence, next-generation recruitment and next-generation maturity. We use random forest models to quantify the relative importance of geographic and environmental factors that characterize dissimilarity between source and recipient locations, the position of recipient sites relative to species' ranges and niche metrics derived from these ranges. We also compare the importance of these variables with more conventional predictors (e.g. founder population size).</li><li>Our results indicate that geographic and environmental variables can be as insightful as conventional variables for predicting plant translocation outcomes. The climate suitability of recipient sites, estimated using species distribution models, was the strongest relative predictor of whether a population persisted, with populations situated in more suitable climates displaying greater persistence. Next-generation recruitment and maturity were best predicted by niche metrics; species in more biotically limiting environments, including tropical regions and soils with high relative nutrient retention, as well as species with the broadest precipitation niches, were the least likely to attain these next-generation benchmarks.</li><li><i>Synthesis and applications</i>. Our study is one of the first to quantify the important role of spatial and climatic factors in rare plant translocation outcomes. We provide a novel geographic and environmental perspective on outcomes in plant translocations and demonstrate opportunities to improve translocation success not only by adhering to established best practice guidelines but also by integrating spatial modelling approaches into planning and management processes.</li></ol>","language":"English","publisher":"British Ecological

Some of these advocates have criticized the use of predictive models and model selection for drawing inferences about causation. We argue that the comparison of model-based predictions with observations is a key step in hypothetico-deductive (H-D) science and remains a valid approach for assessing causation. We draw a distinction between two approaches to inference based on predictive modeling. The first approach is not guided by causal hypotheses and focuses on the relationship between a (typically) single response variable and a potentially large number of covariates. We agree that this approach does not yield useful inferences about causation and is primarily useful for hypothesis generation. The second approach follows a H-D framework and is guided by specific hypotheses about causal relationships. We believe that this has been, and continues to be, a useful approach to causal inference. Here, we first define different kinds of causation, arguing that a “probability-raisers-of-processes” definition is especially appropriate for many ecological systems. We outline different scientific “designs” for generating the observations used to investigate causation. We briefly outline some relevant components of the SCM and H-D approaches to investigating causation, emphasizing a H-D approach that focuses on modeling causal effects on vital rate (e.g., rates of survival, recruitment, local extinction, colonization) parameters underlying system dynamics. We consider criticisms of predictive modeling leveled by some SCM proponents and provide two example analyses of ecological systems that use predictive modeling and avoid these criticisms. We conclude that predictive models have been, and can continue to be, useful for providing inferences about causation.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Ecological Society of America","doi":"10.1002/ecy.4517","usgsCitation":"Nichols, J., and Cooch, E., 2025, Predictive models are indeed useful for causal inference: Ecology, v. 106, no. 1, e4517, 15 p., https://doi.org/10.1002/ecy.4517.","productDescription":"e4517, 15 p.","ipdsId":"IP-164957","costCenters":[{"id":50464,"text":"Eastern Ecological Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":482373,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"106","issue":"1","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2025-01-22","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Nichols, James D. 0000-0002-7631-2890","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7631-2890","contributorId":264235,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Nichols","given":"James D.","affiliations":[{"id":531,"text":"Patuxent Wildlife Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":928212,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Cooch, Evan","contributorId":341120,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Cooch","given":"Evan","affiliations":[{"id":12722,"text":"Cornell University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":928213,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}}

Among the most well-known of the stories is the tale of the Summerville Light.  Local lore holds that a strange light sometimes seen in a remote area is a lantern carried by the ghost of a local woman who once waited hours for her husband, who turned out to have been decapitated earlier that day in a train accident (DePoppe, 2023). Extant sources suggest the ghost stories began to circulate in the 1950s to 1960s.  So pervasive was the lore that (Old) Sheep Island Road became known among local residents as Light Road, with a local stretch of road known today as Old Light Road.  Reviewing the location where the lights appear as well as the nature of accounts, I suggest that many if not all of the anecdotal observations can be most readily attributed to natural phenomena, including earthquake lights from earthquakes that were too small to be felt.  Accounts of lights near Summerville cluster in proximity to the generally accepted epicenter of the 1886 Charleston, South Carolina, earthquake, where foreshocks to the 1886 mainshock were apparently concentrated, and within a few kilometers of three M3.5 – 4.4 earthquakes in 1959 and 1960.","language":"English","publisher":"Seismological Society of America","doi":"10.1785/0220240442","usgsCitation":"Hough, S., 2025, Haunted Summerville: Ghostly lights or earthquake lights?: Seismological Research Letters, 7 p., https://doi.org/10.1785/0220240442.","productDescription":"7 p.","ipdsId":"IP-172362","costCenters":[{"id":237,"text":"Earthquake Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":482153,"rank":1,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"South Carolina","city":"Summerville","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -80.1750286386792,\n              33.03098652526661\n            ],\n            [\n              -80.1750286386792,\n              33.01527134670428\n            ],\n            [\n              -80.15888815618494,\n              33.01527134670428\n            ],\n            [\n              -80.15888815618494,\n              33.03098652526661\n            ],\n            [\n              -80.1750286386792,\n              33.03098652526661\n            ]\n          ]\n        ],\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","edition":"Online First","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2025-01-22","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Hough, Susan E.","contributorId":350996,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Hough","given":"Susan E.","affiliations":[{"id":237,"text":"Earthquake Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":927581,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1}]}}

These conditions are defined by a minimum, maximum, and optimal ranges of single and combined factors. Forays into environmental conditions outside the minimum or maximum tolerance of a species (i.e., thresholds) are predicted to have large effects on a species' population and may help predict population resilience in the face of changing conditions. Here, we explore ecological thresholds for an important fisheries species and ecosystem engineer,&nbsp;</span><i>Crassostrea virginica</i><span>&nbsp;(eastern oyster). In coastal Louisiana, extreme freshwater inputs from rivers and precipitation events impact estuarine salinity, which is a key driver of oyster population dynamics. Using daily salinity and monthly oyster abundance monitoring data across Louisiana estuaries, we explore low salinity exposure threshold levels for oysters. Two statistical approaches were applied, with each model highlighting a different operational definition of a threshold: random forest models identified a threshold as an abrupt change in the oyster abundance- salinity relationship, while Bayesian models identified an increased probability of oyster&nbsp;abundance dropping below a critical threshold, defined here as less than 50% of the 5-year mean. All model results indicate oysters in coastal Louisiana experience low salinity exposure thresholds, defined as the number of consecutive summer days of salinity levels less than 5. However, actual number of days and salinity threshold differed by statistical approach, oyster life stage, and estuary highlighting the multiple dimensions defining ecological thresholds. While thresholds are considered important benchmarks to inform management and assess population or ecosystem vulnerability, our results reveal the need to carefully relate threshold definition to management goals and to acknowledge that thresholds may be highly context dependent.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Wiley","doi":"10.1002/ece3.70759","usgsCitation":"La Peyre, M., Wang, H., Sable, S.E., Wu, W., Li, B., Comba, D., Perez, C., Bates, M., and Swam, L.M., 2025, Multiple dimensions define thresholds for population resilience of the eastern oyster, Crassostrea virginica: Ecology and Evolution, v. 15, no. 1, e70759, 17 p., https://doi.org/10.1002/ece3.70759.","productDescription":"e70759, 17 p.","ipdsId":"IP-166145","costCenters":[{"id":198,"text":"Coop Res Unit Atlanta","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":488493,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/ece3.70759","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":484861,"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        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -89.11822914557477,\n              30.785757926614025\n            ],\n            [\n              -93.93935746486115,\n              30.785757926614025\n            ],\n            [\n              -93.93935746486115,\n              28.547047787509243\n            ],\n            [\n              -89.11822914557477,\n              28.547047787509243\n            ],\n            [\n              -89.11822914557477,\n              30.785757926614025\n            ]\n          ]\n        ],\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"15","issue":"1","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2025-01-21","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"La Peyre, Megan K. 0000-0001-9936-2252","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9936-2252","contributorId":264343,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"La Peyre","given":"Megan K.","affiliations":[{"id":198,"text":"Coop Res Unit Atlanta","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":934187,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Wang, H. 0000-0002-2977-7732","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2977-7732","contributorId":205508,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Wang","given":"H.","affiliations":[{"id":17705,"text":"Wetland and Aquatic Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":934188,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Sable, Shaye E.","contributorId":257728,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Sable","given":"Shaye","email":"","middleInitial":"E.","affiliations":[{"id":52096,"text":"Dynamic Solutions, LLC","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":934189,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Wu, Wei","contributorId":353629,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Wu","given":"Wei","affiliations":[{"id":12460,"text":"The University of Southern Mississippi","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":934190,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Li, Bin","contributorId":47684,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Li","given":"Bin","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":934191,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Comba, Devin","contributorId":335897,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Comba","given":"Devin","affiliations":[{"id":5115,"text":"Louisiana State University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":934192,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6},{"text":"Perez, Carlos","contributorId":353654,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Perez","given":"Carlos","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":934193,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":7},{"text":"Bates, Melanie","contributorId":353630,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Bates","given":"Melanie","affiliations":[{"id":32913,"text":"Louisiana State University Agricultural Center","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":934194,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":8},{"text":"Swam, Lauren M.","contributorId":341585,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Swam","given":"Lauren","email":"","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[{"id":32913,"text":"Louisiana State University Agricultural Center","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":934195,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":9}]}}

However, such measurements are also sensitive to oceanographic circulation-generated pressures over a range of frequencies that conflate with tectonic signals of interest. Using seafloor pressure and temperature data from the Alaska Amphibious Community Seismic Experiment, and sea surface height data from satellite altimetry, we evaluate the efficacy of various seasonal and oceanographic pressure signal proxy corrections and conduct synthetic tests to determine their impact on the timing and amplitude prediction of ramp-like signals typical of SSEs. We find that subtracting out the first mode of the complex empirical orthogonal functions of the pressure records on either the shelf or slope yields signal root-mean-square error (RMS) reductions up to 73% or 80%, respectively. Additional correction with proxies that exploit the depth-dependent spatial coherence of pressure records provides cumulative variance reductions up to 83% and 93%, respectively. Our detectability tests show that the timing and amplitude of synthetic SSE-like ramps can be well constrained for ramp amplitudes ≥4&nbsp;cm on the shelf and ≥2&nbsp;cm on the slope, using a fully automated detector. The principal limits on detectability are residual abrupt changes in pressure that occur as part of the transition to and from summer to winter conditions but are not adequately characterized by our seasonal corrections, as well as the inability to properly account for instrumental drift, which is not readily separated from the seasonal signal.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"American Geophysical Union","doi":"10.1029/2022JB024767","usgsCitation":"Fredrickson, E., Gomberg, J.S., Wilcock, W., Hautala, S., Hermann, A., and Johnson, H.P., 2025, Slow slip detectability in seafloor pressure records offshore Alaska: Journal of Geophysical Research, v. 128, no. 2, e2022JB024767, 24 p., https://doi.org/10.1029/2022JB024767.","productDescription":"e2022JB024767, 24 p.","ipdsId":"IP-143947","costCenters":[{"id":237,"text":"Earthquake Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":481022,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1029/2022jb024767","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":480844,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Alaska","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -150.16349121912398,\n              58.54393007698937\n            ],\n            [\n              -151.42167720993098,\n              59.98743881891275\n            ],\n            [\n              -154.57208692356411,\n              59.65292298715761\n            ],\n            [\n              -160.23909749826134,\n              56.65422767712158\n            ],\n            [\n              -163.58127742066247,\n              55.65836547735071\n            ],\n            [\n              -162.34836105867672,\n              53.57246789386025\n            ],\n            [\n              -159.99664364329442,\n              53.66505587767077\n            ],\n            [\n              -156.78037167628796,\n              53.84231267384558\n            ],\n            [\n              -150.30294881264624,\n              55.9108113210971\n            ],\n            [\n              -148.28571839994297,\n              57.58072409918367\n            ],\n            [\n              -150.16349121912398,\n              58.54393007698937\n            ]\n          ]\n        ],\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"128","issue":"2","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2023-02-19","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Fredrickson, Erik","contributorId":349722,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Fredrickson","given":"Erik","affiliations":[{"id":6934,"text":"University of Washington","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":924656,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Gomberg, Joan S. 0000-0002-0134-2606 gomberg@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0134-2606","contributorId":1269,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Gomberg","given":"Joan","email":"gomberg@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"S.","affiliations":[{"id":237,"text":"Earthquake Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":924657,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Wilcock, William","contributorId":171733,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Wilcock","given":"William","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":6934,"text":"University of Washington","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":924658,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Hautala, Susan","contributorId":194235,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Hautala","given":"Susan","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":924659,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Hermann, Albert","contributorId":251790,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Hermann","given":"Albert","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":36803,"text":"NOAA","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":924660,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Johnson, H.

Removal strategies (e.g., hunting or culling) are used to control wildlife diseases across a wide range of systems, despite conflicting evidence of their effectiveness. This is especially true for chronic wasting disease (CWD), an untreatable, fatal prion disease threatening cervid populations across multiple countries, for which recreational harvest has been suggested as an important disease control strategy. Using observational data to evaluate whether harvest effectively limits CWD prevalence has been difficult because statistical relationships between harvest and disease prevalence can arise from a causal effect of harvest (i.e., harvest's impacts on prevalence via changes in transmission or demographic structure) or from a number of alternative mechanisms. For instance, correlations between harvest and disease prevalence can also be driven by disease's impacts on population size and harvest (i.e., reverse causality) or from confounding variables (e.g., habitat or geographic location) that impact both harvest rates and disease prevalence. We analyzed two decades of surveillance data (2000–2021) from 10 mule deer herds in Wyoming, using statistical approaches informed by causal inference theory, to test for the effects of harvest on CWD prevalence. Herds with consistently high harvest pressure across 20 years had significantly lower prevalence. Our models predicted that harvesting 40% of adult males per year across 20 years would maintain prevalence below 5% on average, whereas if only 20% of males were harvested in each year, prevalence would increase to &gt;30% by year 20. Moreover, shifting the relative harvest pressure within a herd over a shorter period (3 years) reduced subsequent prevalence, albeit to a smaller degree. Although high harvest is unlikely to completely eradicate CWD, our analysis suggests that maintaining hunting pressure on adult males is an important tactic for slowing CWD epidemics within mule deer herds. Our study also provides guidance for future analyses of longitudinal surveillance data, including the importance of demographic data and appropriate time lags.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Ecological Society of America","doi":"10.1002/eap.3089","usgsCitation":"Moss, W.E., Binfet, J., Hall, L., Allen, S., Edwards, W., Jennings-Gaines,

Acute, episodic exposure to neonicotinoid insecticides at environmentally relevant concentrations is linked to negative impacts on beneficial terrestrial insect taxa. Beyond mortality, behavioral indicators of toxicity are often better suited to assess sublethal effects of residual concentrations in the environment. First,&nbsp;</span><i>Nicrophorus</i><span>&nbsp;spp. congeners were used to generate and identify a low-dose exposure rate (lethal dose 10%; LD10) from an acute, 24-hour exposure and the concentration-series was confirmed by LC–MS/MS. Next, we evaluated the effects of single and repeated low-dose (LD10 = 58.9 ng/beetle) imidacloprid exposure on&nbsp;</span><i>N</i><span>.&nbsp;</span><i>americanus</i><span>&nbsp;behavior (10 minutes post-dose) and mortality (10 days post-dose). Behavior parameters were analyzed using EthoVision-XT. Control&nbsp;</span><i>N</i><span>.&nbsp;</span><i>americanus</i><span>&nbsp;were significantly less mobile, demonstrating death-feigning, an anti-predator behavior. Single LD10 dosed&nbsp;</span><i>N</i><span>.&nbsp;</span><i>americanus</i><span>&nbsp;were hyperactive, traveling over 4 times farther (total distance;&nbsp;</span><i>p</i><span>&nbsp;= 0.03) and faster (mean velocity;&nbsp;</span><i>p</i><span>&nbsp;= 0.02) than controls. Single and repeated LD10 dosed&nbsp;</span><i>N</i><span>.&nbsp;</span><i>americanus</i><span>&nbsp;extended their wings without taking flight and flipped on their backs. All control&nbsp;</span><i>N</i><span>.&nbsp;</span><i>americanus</i><span>&nbsp;survived 10 days post-dose; single LD10 and repeated LD10 exhibited 30% and 50% mortality, respectively. A single LD10 exposure event was sufficient to significantly elicit greater movement and high predation risk behaviors, whereas repeated LD10 exposure did not worsen behavioral impairment but increased mortality over time. Collectively, generalized linear mixed effects models indicated that distance traveled, velocity, and extended wings were significant predictors of mortality. Recently reclassified, the federally threatened&nbsp;</span><i>N</i><span>.&nbsp;</span><i>americanus</i><span>&nbsp;may be at greater risk to insecticide exposure than previously thought and vulnerable to episodic, low-dose neonicotinoid exposure.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"PLoS","doi":"10.1371/journal.pone.0314243","usgsCitation":"Cavallaro, M.C., Hladik, M.L., McMurry, R., Hittson, S., Boyles, L., and Hoback, W.W., 2025, Neonicotinoid exposure causes behavioral impairment and delayed mortality of the federally threatened American burying beetle, Nicrophorus americanus: PLoS ONE, v. 20, no. 1, e0314243, 17 p., https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0314243.","productDescription":"e0314243, 17 p.","ipdsId":"IP-164105","costCenters":[{"id":154,"text":"California Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":481024,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0314243","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":480926,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Nebraska, Oklahoma","city":"Braggs, O'Neill","otherGeospatial":"Camp Gruber","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -95.2405548140701,\n              35.78970128938211\n            ],\n            [\n              -95.2405548140701,\n              35.59051434169811\n            ],\n            [\n              -95.07378568415066,\n              35.59051434169811\n            ],\n            [\n              -95.07378568415066,\n              35.78970128938211\n            ],\n            [\n              -95.2405548140701,\n              35.78970128938211\n            ]\n          ]\n        ],\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n      }\n    },\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -98.78178747951743,\n              42.58220278755195\n            ],\n            [\n              -98.78178747951743,\n              42.323737068269025\n            ],\n            [\n              -98.47428478756088,\n              42.323737068269025\n            ],\n            [\n              -98.47428478756088,\n              42.58220278755195\n            ],\n            [\n              -98.78178747951743,\n              42.58220278755195\n            ]\n          ]\n        ],\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"20","issue":"1","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2025-01-21","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Cavallaro, Michael C.","contributorId":296789,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Cavallaro","given":"Michael","email":"","middleInitial":"C.","affiliations":[{"id":64177,"text":"Bullhead City Pest Abatement District","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":924757,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Hladik, Michelle L. 0000-0002-0891-2712","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0891-2712","contributorId":221087,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Hladik","given":"Michelle","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[{"id":154,"text":"California Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":924758,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"McMurry, R.

Most (23 of 30) lambs born in exposed pens, but none of 11 lambs born in non-exposed pens, contracted fatal pneumonia. In addition, surviving lambs in exposed pens showed obvious signs of respiratory disease while lambs in non-exposed pens did not. In crossover experiments, individual non-carrier ewes had lambs that experienced fatal pneumonia in years when housed in exposed pens, but not in years when housed in non-exposed pens. The results of these studies clearly associate lamb pneumonia to exposure to&nbsp;</span><i>M. ovipneumoniae</i><span>&nbsp;carrier ewes, consistent with a necessary role for this agent in epizootic pneumonia of bighorn sheep.

Quantification of sediment-runoff dynamics at the event scale is integral for understanding source areas and transport of suspended-sediment through a watershed following wildfire. Here we used high-frequency turbidity and stream discharge data, coupled with discrete suspended-sediment measurements, in burned and unburned watersheds in the Southern Rocky Mountains and the western Cascades Range to evaluate the response of fine-grained (clay- and silt-sized particles) suspended-sediment. Hysteresis analysis was conducted on estimated suspended-sediment concentrations (using turbidity as a proxy) and streamflow through measurement of the difference in sediment concentration on the rising and falling limbs of the event hydrograph. All burned watersheds exhibited elevated fine suspended-sediment concentrations relative to concentrations found in pre-fire conditions. Changes to hysteretic response vary and may depend on a watershed's sediment connectivity limitations. Results suggest a watershed's inherent hillslope-to-channel (or lateral) connectivity is the primary factor controlling the relative magnitude of event-driven fine sediment fluxes in watersheds affected by wildfire. While wildfire did promote lateral connectivity through activation of hillslope sources, snowmelt, precipitation characteristics and antecedent conditions were more important drivers of hysteretic response than wildfire. For watersheds influenced by annual snowpack, we identified a predominantly clockwise hysteretic response during snowmelt and counterclockwise events during the late spring and summer months. There were also proportionally more counterclockwise events after wildfire in watersheds with high sediment connectivity. Results suggest contrasting wildfire-related sediment risk potential. Rivers in burned watersheds with high sediment connectivity may pose a higher risk to receiving waterbodies, such as larger tributaries or reservoirs, while rivers with low sediment connectivity may experience long-term sediment-related risk within the watershed above the outlet.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Wiley","doi":"10.1002/esp.6067","usgsCitation":"Clark, G.D., Murphy, S.F., Skalak, K., Clow, D.W., Akie, G.A., Carpenter, K.D., Payne, S.E., and Ebel, B., 2025, Hysteretic response of suspended-sediment in wildfire affected watersheds of the Pacific Northwest and Southern Rocky Mountains: Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, v. 50, no. 1, e6067, 18 p., https://doi.org/10.1002/esp.6067.","productDescription":"e6067, 18 p.","ipdsId":"IP-166700","costCenters":[{"id":5050,"text":"WY-MT Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":489896,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/esp.6067","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":481412,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Oregon","otherGeospatial":"Southern Rocky Mountains, Western Cascades","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -122.62089822899537,\n              45.59935484641264\n            ],\n            [\n              -122.62089822899537,\n              45.09878637622529\n            ],\n            [\n              -121.28296466253681,\n              45.09878637622529\n            ],\n            [\n              -121.28296466253681,\n              45.59935484641264\n            ],\n            [\n              -122.62089822899537,\n              45.59935484641264\n            ]\n          ]\n        ],\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"50","issue":"1","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2025-01-21","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Clark, Gregory D. 0000-0003-0066-8193 gmclark@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0066-8193","contributorId":224364,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Clark","given":"Gregory","email":"gmclark@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"D.","affiliations":[{"id":5050,"text":"WY-MT Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":925210,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Murphy, Sheila F. 0000-0002-5481-3635 sfmurphy@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5481-3635","contributorId":1854,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Murphy","given":"Sheila","email":"sfmurphy@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"F.","affiliations":[{"id":37277,"text":"WMA -

Ecosystem conservation can maintain critical ecological functions, but often lacks the detail necessary for the effective conservation of threatened or endangered species. The conservation of such species is mandated by policies and remains a dominant focus of natural resource management. In this Perspective, we propose that assemblage-level conservation targeting groups of taxonomically related or functionally similar species can bridge the gap between species and ecosystems and help to address global biodiversity loss. This approach has previously been limited by data and methodological constraints, but the ongoing growth of biodiversity data, advances in ecological modelling and breakthroughs in computational power have now made effective assemblage-level conservation feasible. Community models provide insights at both the species level and the assemblage level while appropriately accounting for species variability in detection during sampling and uncertainty in biological inferences. Assemblage-level conservation can link both species-specific needs and broader ecological dynamics, ultimately enabling effective strategies for conserving threatened species, ecological communities and ecosystem functions.","language":"English","publisher":"Springer Nature","doi":"10.1038/s44358-024-00014-9","usgsCitation":"Belitz, M., Campbell, C., Drum, R., Leuenberger, W., Morelli, T.L., Nail, K., Shirey, V., Thogmartin, W.E., and Zipken, E., 2025, A case for assemblage-level conservation to address the biodiversity crisis: Nature Reviews Biodiversity, v. 1, p. 134-143, https://doi.org/10.1038/s44358-024-00014-9.","productDescription":"10 p.","startPage":"134","endPage":"143","ipdsId":"IP-168709","costCenters":[{"id":606,"text":"Upper Midwest Environmental Sciences Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":498248,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s44358-024-00014-9","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":483874,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"1","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2025-01-20","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Belitz, Michael W.","contributorId":352690,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Belitz","given":"Michael W.","affiliations":[{"id":6601,"text":"Michigan State University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":932011,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Campbell, C.J. 0000-0002-8199-7775","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8199-7775","contributorId":345171,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Campbell","given":"C.J.","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":82508,"text":"Bat Conservation International, 500 N Capital of Texas Highway, Austin, TX, 78746 USA","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":932012,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Drum, Ryan G.","contributorId":317901,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Drum","given":"Ryan G.","affiliations":[{"id":6654,"text":"USFWS","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":932013,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Leuenberger, Wendy","contributorId":352549,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Leuenberger","given":"Wendy","affiliations":[{"id":6601,"text":"Michigan State University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":932014,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Morelli, Toni Lyn 0000-0001-5865-5294 tmorelli@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5865-5294","contributorId":197458,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Morelli","given":"Toni","email":"tmorelli@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"Lyn","affiliations":[{"id":5080,"text":"Northeast Climate Adaptation Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":411,"text":"National Climate Change and Wildlife Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":932015,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Nail, Kelly","contributorId":352691,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Nail","given":"Kelly","affiliations":[{"id":36188,"text":"U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":932016,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6},{"text":"Shirey, Vaughn","contributorId":352692,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Shirey","given":"Vaughn","affiliations":[{"id":13249,"text":"University of Southern California","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":932017,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":7},{"text":"Thogmartin, Wayne E. 0000-0002-2384-4279 wthogmartin@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2384-4279","contributorId":2545,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Thogmartin","given":"Wayne","email":"wthogmartin@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"E.","affiliations":[{"id":114,"text":"Alaska Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":606,"text":"Upper Midwest Environmental Sciences Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":932018,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":8},{"text":"Zipken, Elise F.","contributorId":352695,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Zipken","given":"Elise F.","affiliations":[{"id":6601,"text":"Michigan State University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":932019,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":9}]}}

A Delft3D model is developed to simulate annual scale (five-year) sediment transport and resulting bed level changes. The model is validated with observed water level and wave data, as well as sediment tracers that were deployed offshore of the island. An XBeach model is developed to simulate storm-driven morphologic change and is validated for hurricanes Ivan (2004), Katrina (2005)and Sally (2020). Together, the models are used to assess differences in the island's morphological response under a no-action (status quo) scenario representing a continuous island, tidal inlet realignment, a sand motor nourishment, beach and dune restoration and a dredged offshore borrow area. The no-action scenario revealed that the island breached at multiple locations including the location of the proposed inlet realignment during each storm. The realigned channel did not prevent breaching on the island, but reduced the magnitude of sand transported through the breaches. The sand motor provided some sheltering to leeward shorelines during storms but did not prevent breaching from occurring elsewhere. Fairweather waves and currents were not strong enough to transport sand outside of the vicinity of the feature to feed adjacent shorelines as intended. The beach and dune restoration reduced storm-driven overtopping along the nourished shoreline. For habitat purposes, strategically placed bayous provided low elevation points that allowed overwash depending on the direction of cross-barrier water level gradients.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Elsevier","doi":"10.1016/j.coastaleng.2025.104697","usgsCitation":"Passeri, D., Mickey, R.C., Thompson, D.M., Itzkin, M., Godsey, E., Bilskie,

Understanding the links between N deposition, microbial communities, N transformations, and water quality is critical as N deposition shifts toward reduced N and remains persistently high in many regions. Here, we investigated these connections along an elevation transect in the Colorado Front Range. Although rates of N deposition and pools of extractable N increased down the elevation transect, soil microbial communities and N transformation rates did not follow clear elevational patterns. The subalpine microbial community was distinct, corresponding to a high C:N ratio and low pH, while the microbial communities at the lower elevation sites were all very similar. Net nitrification, mineralization, and nitrification potential rates were highest at the Plains (1,700&nbsp;m) and Montane (2,527&nbsp;m) sites, suggesting that these ecosystems mobilize N. In contrast, the net immobilization of N observed at the Foothills (1,978&nbsp;m) and Subalpine (3,015&nbsp;m) sites suggests that these ecosystems retain N deposition. The contrast in N transformation rates between the plains and foothills, both of which receive elevated N deposition, may be due to spatial heterogeneity not captured in this study and warrants further investigation. Stream N concentrations from the subalpine to the foothills were consistently low, indicating that these soils are currently able to process and retain N deposition, but this may be disrupted if drought, wildfire, or land-use change alter the ability of the soils to retain N.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"American Geophysical Union","doi":"10.1029/2024EF005356","usgsCitation":"Repert, D.A., Heindel, R.C., Murphy, S.F., and Jeanis, K., 2025, Relationship of atmospheric nitrogen deposition to soil nitrogen cycling along an elevation gradient in the Colorado Front Range: Earth's Future, v. 13, no. 1, e2024EF005356, 21 p., https://doi.org/10.1029/2024EF005356.","productDescription":"e2024EF005356, 21 p.","ipdsId":"IP-167721","costCenters":[{"id":37464,"text":"WMA - Laboratory & Analytical Services Division","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":481025,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1029/2024ef005356","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":480924,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Colorado","otherGeospatial":"Boulder Creek watershed","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -105.21995605837795,\n              40.146352440408236\n            ],\n            [\n              -105.66472403382133,\n              40.146352440408236\n            ],\n            [\n              -105.66472403382133,\n              39.92869777894276\n            ],\n            [\n              -105.21995605837795,\n              39.92869777894276\n            ],\n            [\n              -105.21995605837795,\n              40.146352440408236\n            ]\n          ]\n        ],\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"13","issue":"1","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2025-01-18","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Repert, Deborah A. 0000-0001-7284-1456 darepert@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7284-1456","contributorId":2578,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Repert","given":"Deborah","email":"darepert@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[{"id":37464,"text":"WMA - Laboratory & Analytical Services Division","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":5044,"text":"National Research Program - Central Branch","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":36183,"text":"Hydro-Ecological Interactions Branch","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":38175,"text":"Toxics Substances Hydrology Program","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":924733,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Heindel, Ruth C. 0000-0001-6292-2076","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6292-2076","contributorId":225133,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Heindel","given":"Ruth","email":"","middleInitial":"C.","affiliations":[{"id":36621,"text":"University of Colorado","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":924734,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Murphy, Sheila F. 0000-0002-5481-3635 sfmurphy@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5481-3635","contributorId":1854,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Murphy","given":"Sheila","email":"sfmurphy@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"F.","affiliations":[{"id":5044,"text":"National Research Program - Central Branch","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":37277,"text":"WMA - Earth System Processes Division","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":924735,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Jeanis, Kaitlyn M.","contributorId":349755,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Jeanis","given":"Kaitlyn M.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":924736,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4}]}}

Constraining shaking intensities is critical, especially in subduction zones with infrequent but large-magnitude earthquakes like the Cascadia Subduction Zone (CSZ), where the lack of recorded ground motions has led to uncertainty in the severity and potential impacts of future earthquakes. Here we fill this observational gap with a novel inventory of quantitative estimates of past shaking intensities from geotechnical modeling of coastal landforms. One hundred fifty-four deep-seated landslides and 65 fragile geologic features constrain minimum and maximum peak ground accelerations, respectively. These estimates are broadly consistent with model predictions of M9 ruptures, suggesting strong shaking of 0.4–0.8&nbsp;g during past CSZ earthquakes. Local discrepancies between our geologic shaking constraints and earthquake simulations may inform past rupture behavior, leading to better predictions of shaking intensity for future earthquakes.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"American Geophysical Union","doi":"10.1029/2024GL112417","usgsCitation":"LaHusen, S.R., Grant, A.R., Perkins, J.P., and McPhillips, D., 2025, Strong shaking from past Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquakes encoded in coastal landforms: Geophysical Research Letters, v. 52, no. 2, e2024GL112417, 11 p., https://doi.org/10.1029/2024GL112417.","productDescription":"e2024GL112417, 11 p.","ipdsId":"IP-161618","costCenters":[{"id":312,"text":"Geology, Minerals, Energy, and Geophysics Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":496164,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1029/2024gl112417","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":496078,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"California, Oregon, Washington","otherGeospatial":"Cascadia Subduction Zone","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -126,\n              49\n            ],\n            [\n              -126,\n              42\n            ],\n            [\n              -122,\n              42\n            ],\n            [\n              -122,\n              49\n            ],\n            [\n              -126,\n              49\n            ]\n          ]\n        ],\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"52","issue":"2","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2025-01-18","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"LaHusen, Sean Richard 0000-0003-4246-4439","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4246-4439","contributorId":294677,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"LaHusen","given":"Sean","email":"","middleInitial":"Richard","affiliations":[{"id":312,"text":"Geology, Minerals, Energy, and Geophysics Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":949471,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Grant, Alex R. 0000-0002-5096-4305","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5096-4305","contributorId":219066,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Grant","given":"Alex","middleInitial":"R.","affiliations":[{"id":234,"text":"Earthquake Hazards Program","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":237,"text":"Earthquake Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":949472,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Perkins, Jonathan P. 0000-0002-6113-338X","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6113-338X","contributorId":237053,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Perkins","given":"Jonathan","email":"","middleInitial":"P.","affiliations":[{"id":312,"text":"Geology, Minerals, Energy, and Geophysics Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":949473,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"McPhillips, Devin 0000-0003-1987-9249","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1987-9249","contributorId":217362,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"McPhillips","given":"Devin","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":237,"text":"Earthquake Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":949474,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4}]}}

We present a statistically significant correlation between whole rock S/Fe and the measured degree of organic sulfurization in the thermally immature Cenomanian–Turonian Eagle Ford Group. This relationship shows a sink switch for sulfur from pyrite to organic matter. Excess iron and excess sulfur relative to pyrite, which are mathematically related to S/Fe, provide better insights into organic sulfurization than previous approaches that calculate excess iron relative to detrital iron based on aluminum concentrations. Organic sulfurization and S/Fe are tightly coupled in the Eagle Ford partially due to limited sulfur- and iron-bearing components. Similar relationships could exist in other thermally immature, organic-rich, anoxia-prone, calcareous mudstones. The degree of organic sulfurization was estimated from S/Fe, which was used to map stratigraphic and regional variations of organic sulfurization across the Eagle Ford and to investigate how organic sulfurization relates to organic enrichment, organic preservation, and depositional redox chemistry. The extent of organic sulfurization is more tightly linked to organic preservation than enrichment. Together, organic sulfurization and Mo provide concordant evidence for depositional euxinia. The relationship between Mo and degree of organic sulfurization could indicate that sulfurized organic matter provides a pathway for Mo enrichment, but future work needs to disentangle direct mechanisms from indirect covariations between Mo, organic content, and degree of organic sulfurization. Whole rock elemental chemistry and programmed pyrolysis provide insights into organic sulfurization variations that can be upscaled and can guide subsequent detailed organic sulfur analyses.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"American Geophysical Union","doi":"10.1029/2024GC011936","usgsCitation":"French, K.L., and Birdwell, J.E., 2025, Sulfur-to-iron ratio as a proxy for degree of organic sulfurization: Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, v. 26, no. 1, e2024GC011936, 23 p., https://doi.org/10.1029/2024GC011936.","productDescription":"e2024GC011936, 23 p.","ipdsId":"IP-170967","costCenters":[{"id":164,"text":"Central Energy Resources Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":489895,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1029/2024gc011936","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":481410,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"Mexico, United States","state":"Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Texas","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -105.48861088630609,\n              34.91522244172788\n            ],\n            [\n              -102.65318338666059,\n              25.80856319881252\n            ],\n            [\n              -87.36067137979397,\n              26.861326503989844\n            ],\n            [\n              -90.28636907153204,\n              36.30648659504253\n            ],\n            [\n              -105.48861088630609,\n              34.91522244172788\n            ]\n          ]\n        ],\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"26","issue":"1","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2025-01-18","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"French, Katherine L. 0000-0002-0153-8035","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0153-8035","contributorId":205462,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"French","given":"Katherine","email":"","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[{"id":255,"text":"Energy Resources Program","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":164,"text":"Central Energy Resources Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":925228,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Birdwell, Justin E. 0000-0001-8263-1452 jbirdwell@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8263-1452","contributorId":3302,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Birdwell","given":"Justin","email":"jbirdwell@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"E.","affiliations":[{"id":569,"text":"Southwest Climate Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":255,"text":"Energy Resources Program","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":164,"text":"Central Energy Resources Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":925229,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}}

Recent advances in earthquake detection have resulted in the development of earthquake early warning (EEW) systems. These systems can provide advance warning to predetermined geographic regions that an earthquake is in progress, which may result in individuals receiving warning seconds before significant shaking is felt at their location. This additional time could allow individuals to take more effective protective actions during the immediate disaster. To demonstrate this, we created an agent-based simulation of a basic apartment that allowed us to randomly and repeatedly simulate an individual receiving and responding to an EEW message. The results of our preliminary simulation show that, in our study environment, earthquake early warning alerts have the potential to allow for sufficient time for individuals to take protective actions.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Elsevier","doi":"10.1016/j.heliyon.2025.e42060","usgsCitation":"Wood, M., McBride, S., Zhao, X., Baldwin, D., Cochran, E.S., Zhang, X., Luco, N., Lovreglio, R., and Cova, T., 2025, Simulating human behavior under earthquake early warning: Heliyon, v. 11, no. 3, e42060, 11 p., https://doi.org/10.1016/j.heliyon.2025.e42060.","productDescription":"e42060, 11 p.","ipdsId":"IP-151684","costCenters":[{"id":237,"text":"Earthquake Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":486988,"rank":2,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.heliyon.2025.e42060","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":481813,"rank":1,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Washington","city":"Seattle","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -122.41244714041216,\n              47.724757713559114\n            ],\n            [\n              -122.41244714041216,\n              47.53367983491347\n            ],\n            [\n              -122.22953005178704,\n              47.53367983491347\n            ],\n            [\n              -122.22953005178704,\n              47.724757713559114\n            ],\n            [\n              -122.41244714041216,\n              47.724757713559114\n            ]\n          ]\n        ],\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"11","issue":"3","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Wood, Matthew","contributorId":342944,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Wood","given":"Matthew","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":13252,"text":"University of Utah","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":926736,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"McBride, Sara K. 0000-0002-8062-6542","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8062-6542","contributorId":206933,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"McBride","given":"Sara K.","affiliations":[{"id":657,"text":"Western Geographic Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":237,"text":"Earthquake Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":926737,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Zhao, Xilei","contributorId":342942,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Zhao","given":"Xilei","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":36221,"text":"University of Florida","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":926738,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Baldwin, Dare","contributorId":269660,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Baldwin","given":"Dare","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":926739,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Cochran, Elizabeth S. 0000-0003-2485-4484 ecochran@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2485-4484","contributorId":2025,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Cochran","given":"Elizabeth","email":"ecochran@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"S.","affiliations":[{"id":237,"text":"Earthquake Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":926740,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Zhang, Xiaojian","contributorId":214967,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Zhang","given":"Xiaojian","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":39141,"text":"Department of Basic Science, College of Veterinary Medicine, Mississippi State University, 9 Mississippi, United States;","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":926741,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6},{"text":"Luco, Nico 0000-0002-5763-9847 nluco@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5763-9847","contributorId":145730,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Luco","given":"Nico","email":"nluco@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":300,"text":"Geologic Hazards Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":926742,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":7},{"text":"Lovreglio, Ruggiero","contributorId":350709,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Lovreglio","given":"Ruggiero","affiliations":[{"id":13571,"text":"Massey University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":926743,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":8},{"text":"Cova, Tom","contributorId":350710,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Cova","given":"Tom","affiliations":[{"id":38905,"text":"Univ.

However, vulnerability assessments are usually applied at the species level, even though intraspecific variation in exposure, sensitivity and adaptive capacity play a crucial role in determining vulnerability. Genomic data can inform intraspecific vulnerability by identifying signatures of local adaptation that reflect population-level variation in sensitivity and adaptive capacity. Here, we address the question of local adaptation to temperature and the genetic basis of thermal tolerance in two stream frogs (</span><i>Ascaphus truei</i><span>&nbsp;and&nbsp;</span><i>A. montanus</i><span>). Building on previous physiological and temperature data, we used whole-genome resequencing of tadpoles from four sites spanning temperature gradients in each species to test for signatures of local adaptation. To support these analyses, we developed the first annotated reference genome for&nbsp;</span><i>A. truei</i><span>. We then expanded the geographic scope of our analysis using targeted capture at an additional 11 sites per species. We found evidence of local adaptation to temperature based on physiological and genomic data in&nbsp;</span><i>A. montanus</i><span>&nbsp;and genomic data in&nbsp;</span><i>A. truei</i><span>, suggesting similar levels of sensitivity (i.e., susceptibility) among populations regardless of stream temperature. However, invariant thermal tolerances across temperatures in&nbsp;</span><i>A. truei</i><span>&nbsp;suggest that populations occupying warmer streams may be most sensitive. We identified high levels of evolutionary potential in both species based on genomic and physiological data. While further integration of these data is needed to comprehensively evaluate spatial variation in vulnerability, this work illustrates the value of genomics in identifying spatial patterns of climate change vulnerability.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Wiley","doi":"10.1111/mec.17651","usgsCitation":"Forester, B.R., Cicchino, A.S., Shah, A.A., Mudd, A., Anderson, E.C., Bredeson, J.,

Yet, it remains uncertain how these small-scale processes act together to shape landscapes. Longstanding hillslope diffusion theory posits that hillslope processes are spatially limited, whereas new concepts of nonlocal sediment transport argue otherwise. However, each theory produces subtly different, but distinct, predictions for the evolution of fault scarps. We use the topographic change of fault scarps to demonstrate that hillslope processes produce nonlocal sediment transport. Analysis of a global compilation of 340 dated single-earthquake scarp profiles reveals a statistically significant (</span><i>p</i><span>&nbsp;&lt; 0.05</span><i>)</i><span>&nbsp;relationship between scarp age and scarp asymmetry, here defined as the ratio of imaginary to real components of the Fourier transform of absolute slope. Numerical simulations show that nonlocal models predict this relationship, whereas hillslope diffusion models do not. To further investigate this result, we examined the depositional geometry of a well-exposed colluvial wedge along the Wasatch fault in central Utah, United States. Our quantitative comparison between the exposure and numerical simulations reveals better agreement with the nonlocal model. Nonlocal sediment transport theory appears to best capture the physics of how hillslope processes shape fault scarps, yet hillslope diffusion provides a useful approximation in many cases. As the processes that act on fault scarps are nearly identical to those acting on hillslopes, our results provide evidence supporting nonlocality as a generalized model of hillslope sediment

However, restoration frequently drives ecological transformations at local scales, potentially resulting in trade-offs among wildlife species and communities. The&nbsp;</span><i>Conservation Interactions Principle</i><span>&nbsp;(CIP), coined more than 15 years ago, cautions SCP practitioners regarding the importance of jointly and fully evaluating conservation outcomes across the landscape over long timeframes. However, SCP efforts that guide landscape restoration have inadequately addressed the CIP by failing to tabulate the full value of the current ecological state. The increased application of SCP to inform restoration, reliance on increasingly small areas to sustain at-risk species and ecological communities, ineffective considerations for the changing climate, and increasing numbers of at-risk species, are collectively intensifying the need to consider unintended consequences when prioritizing sites for restoration. Improper incorporation of the CIP in SCP may result in inefficient use of conservation resources through opportunity costs and/or conservation actions that counteract one another. We suggest SCP practitioners can avoid these consequences through a more detailed accounting of the current ecological benefits to better address the CIP when conducting restoration planning. Specifically, forming interdisciplinary teams with expertise in the current and desired ecosystem states at candidate conservation sites; improving data availability; modeling and computational advancements; and applying structured decision-making approaches can all improve the integration of the CIP in SCP efforts. Improved trade-off assessment, spanning multiple ecosystems or states, can facilitate efficient, proactive, and coordinated SCP applications across space and time. In doing so, SCP can effectively guide the siting of restoration actions capable of promoting the full suite of biodiversity in a region.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Wiley","doi":"10.1111/gcb.70020","usgsCitation":"Van Lanen, N.J., Duchardt, C., Pejchar, L., Shyvers, J., and Aldridge, C.L., 2025, Considering multiecosystem trade-offs is critical when leveraging systematic conservation planning for restoration: Global Change Biology, v. 31, no. 1, e70020, 8 p., https://doi.org/10.1111/gcb.70020.","productDescription":"e70020, 8 p.","ipdsId":"IP-164188","costCenters":[{"id":291,"text":"Fort Collins Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":481026,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1111/gcb.70020","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":480835,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"31","issue":"1","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2025-01-17","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Van Lanen, Nicholas J. 0000-0003-0871-0261","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0871-0261","contributorId":302927,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Van Lanen","given":"Nicholas","email":"","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[{"id":291,"text":"Fort Collins Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":924473,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Duchardt, C.J.","contributorId":349573,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Duchardt","given":"C.J.","affiliations":[{"id":7249,"text":"Oklahoma State University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":924474,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Pejchar, L.","contributorId":349574,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Pejchar","given":"L.","affiliations":[{"id":6621,"text":"Colorado State University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":924475,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Shyvers, J.E.","contributorId":349575,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Shyvers","given":"J.E.","affiliations":[{"id":7041,"text":"The Nature Conservancy","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":924476,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Aldridge, Cameron L. 0000-0003-3926-6941 aldridgec@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3926-6941","contributorId":191773,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Aldridge","given":"Cameron","email":"aldridgec@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[{"id":291,"text":"Fort Collins Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":924477,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5}]}}
