They play an important role in Arctic wetland ecosystems by regulating carbon, water, and energy fluxes and providing freshwater habitats. However, ponds, i.e., waterbodies with surface areas smaller than 1. 0 × 10</span><sup>4</sup><span> m</span><sup>2</sup><span>, have not been inventoried on global and regional scales. The Permafrost Region Pond and Lake (PeRL) database presents the results of a circum-Arctic effort to map ponds and lakes from modern (2002–2013) high-resolution aerial and satellite imagery with a resolution of 5 m or better. The database also includes historical imagery from 1948 to 1965 with a resolution of 6 m or better. PeRL includes 69 maps covering a wide range of environmental conditions from tundra to boreal regions and from continuous to discontinuous permafrost zones. Waterbody maps are linked to regional permafrost landscape maps which provide information on permafrost extent, ground ice volume, geology, and lithology. This paper describes waterbody classification and accuracy, and presents statistics of waterbody distribution for each site. Maps of permafrost landscapes in Alaska, Canada, and Russia are used to extrapolate waterbody statistics from the site level to regional landscape units. PeRL presents pond and lake estimates for a total area of 1. 4 × 10</span><sup>6</sup><span> km</span><sup>2</sup><span><span>&nbsp;</span>across the Arctic, about 17 % of the Arctic lowland ( &lt;  300 m a.s.l.) land surface area.

Circumstances special to this case include (1) the sensitivity of an isolated resort area to media hype of potential high-impact volcanic and earthquake hazards and its impact on potential recreational visitors and the local economy, (2) a small permanent population (~8000), which facilitates face-to-face communication between scientists monitoring the hazard, civil authorities, and the public, and (3) the relatively frequent turnover of people in positions of civil authority, which requires a continuing education effort on the nature of caldera unrest and related hazards. Because of delays associated with communication protocols between the State and Federal governments during the onset of unrest, local civil authorities and the public first learned that the U.S. Geological Survey was about to release a notice of potential volcanic hazards associated with earthquake activity and 25-cm uplift of the resurgent dome in the center of the caldera through an article in the Los Angeles Times published in May 1982. The immediate reaction was outrage and denial. Gradual acceptance that the hazard was real required over a decade of frequent meetings between scientists and civil authorities together with public presentations underscored by frequently felt earthquakes and the onset of magmatic CO</span><sub>2</sub><span><span>&nbsp;</span>emissions in 1990 following a 11-month long earthquake swarm beneath Mammoth Mountain on the southwest rim of the caldera. Four fatalities, one on 24 May 1998 and three on 6 April 2006, underscored the hazard posed by the CO</span><sub>2</sub><span><span>&nbsp;</span>emissions. Initial response plans developed by county and state agencies in response to the volcanic unrest began with “The Mono County Volcano Contingency Plan” and “Plan Caldera” by the California Office of Emergency Services in 1982–84. They subsequently became integrated in the regularly updated County Emergency Operation Plan. The alert level system employed by the USGS also evolved from the three-level “Notice-Watch-Warning” system of the early 1980s through a five level color-code to the current “Normal-Advisory-Watch-Warning” ground-based system in conjunction with the international 4-level aviation color-code for volcanic ash hazards. Field trips led by the scientists proved to be a particularly effective means of acquainting local residents and officials with the geologically active environment in which they reside. Relative caldera quiescence from 2000 through 2011 required continued efforts to remind an evolving population that the hazards posed by the 1980–2000 unrest persisted. Renewed uplift of the resurgent dome from 2011 to 2014 was accompanied by an increase in low-level earthquake activity in the caldera and beneath Mammoth Mountain and continues through May 2016. As unrest levels continue to wax and wane, so will the communication challenges.</span></p>","largerWorkType":{"id":4,"text":"Book"},"largerWorkTitle":"Advances in volcanology","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":15,"text":"Monograph"},"language":"English","publisher":"Springer","doi":"10.1007/11157_2016_32","usgsCitation":"Hill, D.P., Mangan, M.T., and McNutt, S.R., 2017, Volcanic unrest and hazard communication in Long Valley Volcanic Region, California, chap. <i>of</i> Advances in volcanology, p. 1-17, https://doi.org/10.1007/11157_2016_32.","productDescription":"17 p.","startPage":"1","endPage":"17","ipdsId":"IP-071037","costCenters":[{"id":617,"text":"Volcano Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":487574,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/11157_2016_32","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":343442,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"publishingServiceCenter":{"id":12,"text":"Tacoma PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2017-03-26","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"595f4c3ae4b0d1f9f057e321","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Hill, David P. hill@usgs.gov","contributorId":2600,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Hill","given":"David","email":"hill@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"P.","affiliations":[{"id":617,"text":"Volcano Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":615,"text":"Volcano Hazards Program","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":114,"text":"Alaska Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":703647,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Mangan, Margaret T. 0000-0002-5273-8053 mmangan@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5273-8053","contributorId":3343,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Mangan","given":"Margaret","email":"mmangan@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"T.","affiliations":[{"id":617,"text":"Volcano Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":615,"text":"Volcano Hazards Program","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":114,"text":"Alaska Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":703648,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"McNutt, Stephen R.","contributorId":38133,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"McNutt","given":"Stephen","email":"","middleInitial":"R.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":703649,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3}]}}

Warm season grass CRP fields as a group have the potential for providing a continuum of habitat structure for breeding birds, depending on how the fields are managed and their floristic composition. We studied the nesting activity of four obligate grassland bird species, Bobolink (</span><i><i>Dolichonyx oryzivorus</i></i><span>), Eastern Meadowlark (</span><i><i>Sturnella magna</i></i><span>), Grasshopper Sparrow (</span><i><i>Ammodramus savannarum</i></i><span>), and Henslow's Sparrow (</span><i><i>A. henslowii</i></i><span>), in relation to vegetative composition and fire management in warm season CRP fields in southwest Wisconsin during 2009–2011. Intraspecific variation in apparent nest density was related to the number of years since the field was burned. Apparent Grasshopper Sparrow nest density was highest in the breeding season immediately following spring burns, apparent Henslow's Sparrow nest density was highest 1 y post burn, and apparent Bobolink and Eastern Meadowlark nest densities were higher in post fire years one to three. Grasshopper Sparrow nest density was highest on sites with more diverse vegetation, specifically prairie forbs, and on sites with shorter less dense vegetation. Bobolink, Eastern Meadowlark, and Henslow's Sparrow apparent nest densities were higher on sites with deeper litter; litter was the vegetative component that was most affected by spring burns. Overall nest success was 0.487 for Bobolink (22 d nesting period), 0.478 for Eastern Meadowlark (25 d nesting period), 0.507 for Grasshopper Sparrow (22 d nesting period), and 0.151 for Henslow's Sparrow (21 d nesting period).

Since introduction, it has become an economically and ecologically important species that supports popular recreational fisheries. It is also one of the most abundant top predators in the system. Currently, there is no information on the level of genetic diversity or genetic structuring that may have occurred since introduction. An understanding of genetic diversity is important for the delineation of management units and investigation of gene flow at various management scales. The goals of this research were to investigate population genetic structure of Smallmouth Bass at sites within the Susquehanna River basin and to assess genetic differentiation relative to Smallmouth Bass at an out-of-basin site (Allegheny River, Pennsylvania) located within the species’ native range. During spring 2015, fin clips (<i>n</i> = 1,034) were collected from adults at 11 river sites and 13 tributary sites in the Susquehanna River basin and at one site on the Allegheny River. Fin clips were genotyped at 12 polymorphic microsatellite loci. Based on our results, adults sampled throughout the Susquehanna River basin did not represent separate genetic populations. There were only subtle differences in genetic diversity among sites (mean pairwise genetic differentiation index <i>F<sub>ST</sub></i> = 0.012), and there was an overall lack of population differentiation (<i>K</i> = 3 admixed populations). The greatest genetic differentiation was observed between fish collected from the out-of-basin site and those from the Susquehanna River basin sites. Knowledge that separate genetic populations of Smallmouth Bass do not exist in the Susquehanna River basin is valuable information for fisheries management in addition to providing baseline genetic data on an introduced sport fish population.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"Taylor & Francis","doi":"10.1080/02755947.2017.1327902","usgsCitation":"Schall, M.K., Bartron, M.L., Wertz, T., Niles, J.M., Shaw, C., and Wagner, T., 2017, Evaluation of genetic population structure of smallmouth bass in the Susquehanna River basin, Pennsylvania: North American Journal of Fisheries Management, v. 37, no. 4, p. 850-861, https://doi.org/10.1080/02755947.2017.1327902.","productDescription":"12 p.","startPage":"850","endPage":"861","ipdsId":"IP-079164","costCenters":[{"id":199,"text":"Coop Res Unit Leetown","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":348212,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Pennsylvania","otherGeospatial":"Susquehanna River basin","volume":"37","issue":"4","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":9,"text":"Reston PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2017-05-16","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5a00314fe4b0531197b5a742","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Schall, Megan K.","contributorId":115964,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Schall","given":"Megan","email":"","middleInitial":"K.","affiliations":[{"id":17758,"text":"Pennsylvania State Univ.","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":720419,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Bartron, Meredith L.","contributorId":149109,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Bartron","given":"Meredith","email":"","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[{"id":26874,"text":"USFWS, Lamar, PA","active":true,"usgs":false},{"id":6678,"text":"U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":720420,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Wertz, Timothy","contributorId":66866,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Wertz","given":"Timothy","affiliations":[{"id":17703,"text":"Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":720421,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Niles, Jonathan M.","contributorId":146975,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Niles","given":"Jonathan","email":"","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[{"id":35657,"text":"Susquehanna University, Selinsgrove, PA","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":720422,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Shaw, Cassidy H. 0000-0003-2639-1241","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2639-1241","contributorId":197773,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Shaw","given":"Cassidy H.","affiliations":[{"id":365,"text":"Leetown Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":720423,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Wagner, Tyler 0000-0003-1726-016X twagner@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1726-016X","contributorId":1050,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Wagner","given":"Tyler","email":"twagner@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":199,"text":"Coop Res Unit Leetown","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":720424,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6}]}}

Statistically downscaled GCM projections from Multivariate Adaptive Constructed Analogues provide daily averaged near-surface winds at an appropriate spatial resolution for wave modeling within the orographically complex region of San Francisco Bay, but greater resolution in time is needed to capture the peak of storm events. Short-duration high wind speeds, on the order of hours, are usually excluded in statistically downscaled climate models and are of key importance in wave and subsequent coastal flood modeling. Here we present a temporal downscaling approach, similar to constructed analogues, for near-surface winds suitable for use in local wave models and evaluate changes in wind and wave conditions for the 21st century. Reconstructed hindcast winds (1975–2004) recreate important extreme wind values within San Francisco Bay. A computationally efficient method for simulating wave heights over long time periods was used to screen for extreme events. Wave hindcasts show resultant maximum wave heights of 2.2&nbsp;m possible within the Bay. Changes in extreme over-water wind speeds suggest contrasting trends within the different regions of San Francisco Bay, but 21th century projections show little change in the overall magnitude of extreme winds and locally generated waves.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"AGU","doi":"10.1002/2016EA000193","usgsCitation":"O'Neill, A., Erikson, L.H., and Barnard, P., 2017, Downscaling wind and wavefields for 21st century coastal flood hazard projections in a region of complex terrain: Earth and Space Science, v. 4, no. 5, p. 314-334, https://doi.org/10.1002/2016EA000193.","productDescription":"21 p.","startPage":"314","endPage":"334","ipdsId":"IP-075780","costCenters":[{"id":520,"text":"Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":469785,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/2016ea000193","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":343574,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"California","otherGeospatial":"San Francisco Bay","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -123.06610107421876,\n              37.411618795843026\n            ],\n            [\n              -121.86035156249999,\n              37.411618795843026\n            ],\n            [\n              -121.86035156249999,\n              38.16911413556086\n            ],\n            [\n              -123.06610107421876,\n              38.16911413556086\n            ],\n            [\n              -123.06610107421876,\n              37.411618795843026\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"4","issue":"5","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":14,"text":"Menlo Park PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2017-05-24","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5965b1b8e4b0d1f9f05b379a","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"O'Neill, Andrea C. 0000-0003-1656-4372 aoneill@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1656-4372","contributorId":5351,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"O'Neill","given":"Andrea C.","email":"aoneill@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":520,"text":"Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":704188,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Erikson, Li H. 0000-0002-8607-7695 lerikson@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8607-7695","contributorId":149963,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Erikson","given":"Li","email":"lerikson@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"H.","affiliations":[{"id":520,"text":"Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":704189,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Barnard, Patrick L. 0000-0003-1414-6476 pbarnard@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1414-6476","contributorId":147147,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Barnard","given":"Patrick L.","email":"pbarnard@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":520,"text":"Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":704190,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3}]}}

Currently and historically, biodiversity data are scattered in numerous disconnected data silos that lack interoperability. The situation is no different for alien species data, and this obstructs efficient retrieval, combination, and use of these kinds of information for research and policy-making. Standardization and interoperability are particularly important as many alien species related research and policy activities require pooling data. We describe seven ways that data on alien species can be made more accessible and useful, based on the results of a European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST) workshop: (1) Create data management plans; (2) Increase interoperability of information sources; (3) Document data through metadata; (4) Format data using existing standards; (5) Adopt controlled vocabularies; (6) Increase data availability; and (7) Ensure long-term data preservation. We identify four properties specific and integral to alien species data (species status, introduction pathway, degree of establishment, and impact mechanism) that are either missing from existing data standards or lack a recommended controlled vocabulary. Improved access to accurate, real-time and historical data will repay the long-term investment in data management infrastructure, by providing more accurate, timely and realistic assessments and analyses. If we improve core biodiversity data standards by developing their relevance to alien species, it will allow the automation of common activities regarding data processing in support of environmental policy. Furthermore, we call for considerable effort to maintain, update, standardize, archive, and aggregate datasets, to ensure proper valorization of alien species data and information before they become obsolete or lost.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Frontiers","doi":"10.3389/fams.2017.00013","usgsCitation":"Groom, Q.J., Adriaens, T., Desmet, P., Simpson, A., De Wever, A., Bazos, I.,

Catostomid fishes (suckers, family Catostomidae) are typically found in riverine or backwater habitats yet are able to persist in impounded river systems. To the detriment of conservation, there is limited information about distribution of catostomid fishes in impounded rivers. We examined the longitudinal distribution of catostomid fishes over 23 reservoirs of the Tennessee River reservoir cascade, encompassing approximately 1600&nbsp;km. Our goal was to develop a basin-scale perspective to guide conservation efforts. Catostomid species composition and assemblage structure changed longitudinally along the reservoir cascade. Catostomid species biodiversity was greatest in reservoirs lower in the cascade. Assemblage composition shifted from dominance by spotted sucker <i>Minytrema melanops</i> and buffalos <i>Ictiobus</i> spp. in the lower reservoirs to carpsuckers <i>Carpiodes</i> spp. midway through the cascade and redhorses <i>Moxostoma</i> spp. in the upper reservoirs. Most species did not extend the length of the cascade, and some species were rare, found in low numbers and in few reservoirs. The observed gradients in catostomid assemblages suggest the need for basin-scale conservation measures focusing on three broad areas: (1) conservation and management of the up-lake riverine reaches of the lower reservoirs, (2) maintenance of the access to quality habitat in tributaries to the upper reservoirs and (3) reintroductions into currently unoccupied habitat within species' historic distributions</p>","language":"English","publisher":"Wiley","doi":"10.1002/rra.3144","usgsCitation":"Miranda, L.E., Keretz, K.R., and Gilliland, C.R., 2017, Gradients in Catostomid assemblages along a reservoir cascade: River Research and Applications, v. 33, no. 6, p. 983-990, https://doi.org/10.1002/rra.3144.","productDescription":"8 p.","startPage":"983","endPage":"990","ipdsId":"IP-076827","costCenters":[{"id":198,"text":"Coop Res Unit Atlanta","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":348201,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","otherGeospatial":"Tennessee River","volume":"33","issue":"6","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":9,"text":"Reston PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2017-03-16","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5a00314fe4b0531197b5a740","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Miranda, Leandro E. 0000-0002-2138-7924 smiranda@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2138-7924","contributorId":531,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Miranda","given":"Leandro","email":"smiranda@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"E.","affiliations":[{"id":198,"text":"Coop Res Unit Atlanta","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":719994,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Keretz, Kevin R. 0000-0002-4808-8350 kkeretz@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4808-8350","contributorId":5859,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Keretz","given":"Kevin","email":"kkeretz@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"R.","affiliations":[{"id":324,"text":"Great Lakes Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":17848,"text":"Mississippi State University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":719995,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Gilliland, Chelsea R.","contributorId":199772,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Gilliland","given":"Chelsea","email":"","middleInitial":"R.","affiliations":[{"id":17848,"text":"Mississippi State University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":719996,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3}]}}

These particles are immobilized within stream storage areas, especially hyporheic sediments and benthic biofilms. However, fine particles are also known to remobilize under all flow conditions. This combination of downstream transport and transient retention, influenced by stream geomorphology, controls the distribution of residence times over which fine particles influence stream ecosystems. The main objective of this study was to quantify immobilization and remobilization rates of fine particles in a third-order sand-and-gravel bed stream (Difficult Run, Virginia, USA) within different geomorphic units of the stream (i.e., pool, lateral cavity, and thalweg). During our field injection experiment, a thunderstorm-driven spate allowed us to observe fine particle dynamics during both base flow and in response to increased flow. Solute and fine particles were measured within stream surface waters, pore waters, sediment cores, and biofilms on cobbles. Measurements were taken at four different subsurface locations with varying geomorphology and at multiple depths. Approximately 68% of injected fine particles were retained during base flow until the onset of the spate. Retention was evident even after the spate, with 15.4% of the fine particles deposited during base flow still retained within benthic biofilms on cobbles and 14.9% within hyporheic sediment after the spate. Thus, through the combination of short-term remobilization and long-term retention, fine particles can serve as sources of carbon and nutrients to downstream ecosystems over a range of time scales.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"AGU Publications","doi":"10.1002/2016WR020202","usgsCitation":"Drummond, J.D., Larsen, L.G., González-Pinzón, R., Packman, A.I., and Harvey, J., 2017, Fine particle retention within stream storage areas at base flow and in response to a storm event: Water Resources Research, v. 53, no. 7, p. 5690-5705, https://doi.org/10.1002/2016WR020202.","productDescription":"16 p.","startPage":"5690","endPage":"5705","ipdsId":"IP-085237","costCenters":[{"id":436,"text":"National Research Program - Eastern Branch","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":469725,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/2016wr020202","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":348266,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Virginia","otherGeospatial":"Difficult Run","volume":"53","issue":"7","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":9,"text":"Reston PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2017-07-16","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5a07e8b9e4b09af898c8cba9","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Drummond, J.

Complex networks offer promise for quantifying functional connectivity in watersheds. The approach resolves connections between nodes in space based on statistical similarities in perturbation signals (derived from solute time series) and is sensitive to a wider range of timescales than traditional mass-balance modeling. We use this approach to test hypotheses about how fire and flood impact ecological and biogeochemical dynamics in a wetland (Everglades, FL, USA) that was reconnected to its floodplain. Reintroduction of flow pulses after decades of separation by levees fundamentally reconfigured functional connectivity networks. The most pronounced expansion was that of the calcium network, which reflects periphyton dynamics and may represent an indirect influence of elevated nutrients, despite the comparatively smaller observed expansion of phosphorus networks. With respect to several solutes, periphyton acted as a “biotic filter,” shifting perturbations in water-quality signals to different timescales through slow but persistent transformations of the biotic community. The complex-networks approach also revealed portions of the landscape that operate in fundamentally different regimes with respect to dissolved oxygen, separated by a threshold in flow velocity of 1.2 cm/s, and suggested that complete removal of canals may be needed to restore connectivity with respect to biogeochemical processes. Fire reconfigured functional connectivity networks in a manner that reflected localized burn severity, but had a larger effect on the magnitude of solute concentrations.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"AGU Publications","doi":"10.1002/2017WR020375","usgsCitation":"Larsen, L., Newman, S., Saunders, C., and Harvey, J., 2017, Complex networks of functional connectivity in a wetland reconnected to its floodplain: Water Resources Research, v. 53, no. 7, p. 6089-6108, https://doi.org/10.1002/2017WR020375.","productDescription":"10 p.","startPage":"6089","endPage":"6108","ipdsId":"IP-086967","costCenters":[{"id":436,"text":"National Research Program - Eastern Branch","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":469703,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/2017wr020375","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":348265,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Florida","otherGeospatial":"Everglades","volume":"53","issue":"7","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":9,"text":"Reston PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2017-07-28","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5a07e8b9e4b09af898c8cba7","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Larsen, Laurel G.","contributorId":191391,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Larsen","given":"Laurel G.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":716602,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Newman, Susan","contributorId":15308,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Newman","given":"Susan","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":716603,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Saunders, Colin","contributorId":73913,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Saunders","given":"Colin","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":716604,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Harvey, Judson 0000-0002-2654-9873 jwharvey@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2654-9873","contributorId":140228,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Harvey","given":"Judson","email":"jwharvey@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":436,"text":"National Research Program - Eastern Branch","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":716601,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4}]}}

Dominant forage species included squids and hexagrammids in the western Aleutians, gadids and Pacific sand lance (</span><i>Ammodytes personatus</i><span>) in the eastern Aleutians and western Gulf of Alaska (GoA), and sand lance and capelin (</span><i>Mallotus villosus</i><span>) in the northern and eastern GoA. Interannual fluctuations in forage availability dominated variability in the western Aleutians, whereas lower-frequency shifts in forage fish availability dominated elsewhere. We produced regional multivariate indicators of sand lance, capelin, and age-0 gadid availability by combining data across species and sites using Principal Component Analysis, and related these indices to environmental factors including sea level pressure (SPL), winds, and sea surface temperature (SST). There was coherence in the availability of sand lance and capelin across the study area. Sand lance availability increased linearly with environmental conditions leading to warmer ocean temperatures, whereas capelin availability increased in a non-linear manner when environmental changes led to lower ocean temperatures. Long-term studies of puffin diet composition appear to be a promising tool for understanding the availability of these difficult-to-survey forage nekton in remote regions of the North Pacific.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Wiley","doi":"10.1111/fog.12204","usgsCitation":"Sydeman, W., Piatt, J.F., Thompson, S.A., Garcia-Reyes, M., Hatch, S., Arimitsu, M.L., Slater, L., Williams, J.C., Rojek, N.A., Zador, S.G., and Renner, H.M., 2017, Puffins reveal contrasting relationships between forage fish and ocean climate in the North Pacific: Fisheries Oceanography, v. 26, no. 4, p. 379-395, https://doi.org/10.1111/fog.12204.","productDescription":"17 p.","startPage":"379","endPage":"395","ipdsId":"IP-063216","costCenters":[{"id":116,"text":"Alaska Science Center Biology MFEB","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":469714,"rank":0,"type":{"id":41,"text":"Open Access External Repository Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1111/fog.12204","text":"External Repository"},{"id":349629,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"26","issue":"4","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":12,"text":"Tacoma PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2017-01-13","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5a60fb8de4b06e28e9c23274","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Sydeman, William J.","contributorId":172574,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Sydeman","given":"William J.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":724160,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Piatt, John F. 0000-0002-4417-5748 jpiatt@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4417-5748","contributorId":3025,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Piatt","given":"John","email":"jpiatt@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"F.","affiliations":[{"id":116,"text":"Alaska Science Center Biology MFEB","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":117,"text":"Alaska Science Center Biology WTEB","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":114,"text":"Alaska Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":724159,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Thompson, Sarah Ann","contributorId":198394,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Thompson","given":"Sarah","email":"","middleInitial":"Ann","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":724161,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Garcia-Reyes, Marisol","contributorId":201043,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Garcia-Reyes","given":"Marisol","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":724162,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Hatch, Scott A.","contributorId":201044,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Hatch","given":"Scott A.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":724163,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Arimitsu, Mayumi L. 0000-0001-6982-2238 marimitsu@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6982-2238","contributorId":140501,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Arimitsu","given":"Mayumi","email":"marimitsu@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[{"id":116,"text":"Alaska Science Center Biology MFEB","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":724164,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6},{"text":"Slater, Leslie","contributorId":201045,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Slater","given":"Leslie","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":724165,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":7},{"text":"Williams, Jeffrey C.","contributorId":126882,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Williams","given":"Jeffrey","email":"","middleInitial":"C.","affiliations":[{"id":6678,"text":"U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":724166,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":8},{"text":"Rojek, Nora A.","contributorId":201046,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Rojek","given":"Nora","email":"","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":724167,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":9},{"text":"Zador, Stephani G.","contributorId":201047,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Zador","given":"Stephani","email":"","middleInitial":"G.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":724168,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":10},{"text":"Renner, Heather M.","contributorId":201048,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Renner","given":"Heather","email":"","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":724169,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":11}]}}

To date, only nine non-mammalian papillomaviruses have been described from birds (</span><i>n</i><span> = 5), a fish (</span><i>n</i><span> = 1), a snake (</span><i>n</i><span> = 1), and turtles (</span><i>n</i><span> = 2). The identification of papillomaviruses in sauropsids and a sparid fish suggests that early ancestors of papillomaviruses were already infecting the earliest Euteleostomi. The Euteleostomi clade includes more than 90 per cent of the living vertebrate species, and progeny virus could have been passed on to all members of this clade, inhabiting virtually every habitat on the planet. As part of this study, we isolated a novel papillomavirus from a 16-year-old female Adélie penguin (</span><i>Pygoscelis adeliae</i><span>) from Cape Crozier, Ross Island (Antarctica). The new papillomavirus shares ∼64 per cent genome-wide identity to a previously described Adélie penguin papillomavirus. Phylogenetic analyses show that the non-mammalian viruses (expect the python,<span>&nbsp;</span></span><i>Morelia spilota</i><span>, associated papillomavirus) cluster near the base of the papillomavirus evolutionary tree. A papillomavirus isolated from an avian host (Northern fulmar;<span>&nbsp;</span></span><i>Fulmarus glacialis</i><span>), like the two turtle papillomaviruses, lacks a putative E9 protein that is found in all other avian papillomaviruses. Furthermore, the Northern fulmar papillomavirus has an E7 more similar to the mammalian viruses than the other avian papillomaviruses. Typical E6 proteins of mammalian papillomaviruses have two Zinc finger motifs, whereas the sauropsid papillomaviruses only have one such motif. Furthermore, this motif is absent in the fish papillomavirus. Thus, it is highly likely that the most recent common ancestor of the mammalian and sauropsid papillomaviruses had a single motif E6. It appears that a motif duplication resulted in mammalian papillomaviruses having a double Zinc finger motif in E6. We estimated the divergence time between Northern fulmar-associated papillomavirus and the other Sauropsid papillomaviruses be to around 250 million years ago, during the Paleozoic-Mesozoic transition and our analysis dates the root of the papillomavirus tree between 400 and 600 million years ago. Our analysis shows evidence for niche adaptation and that these non-mammalian viruses have highly divergent E6 and E7 proteins, providing insights into the evolution of the early viral (onco-)proteins.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Oxford University Press","doi":"10.1093/ve/vex027","usgsCitation":"Van Doorslaer, K., Ruoppolo, V., Schmidt, A., Lescroel, A., Jongsomjit, D., Elrod, M., Kraberger, S., Stainton, D., Dugger, K.M., Ballard, G., Ainley, D.G., and Varsani, A., 2017, Unique genome organization of non-mammalian papillomaviruses provides insights into the evolution of viral early proteins: Virus Evolution, v. 3, no. 2, Article vex027; 12 p., https://doi.org/10.1093/ve/vex027.","productDescription":"Article vex027; 12 p.","ipdsId":"IP-087793","costCenters":[{"id":200,"text":"Coop Res Unit Seattle","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":469718,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1093/ve/vex027","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":346996,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"3","issue":"2","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":12,"text":"Tacoma PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2017-10-06","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"59e9b994e4b05fe04cd65c78","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Van Doorslaer, Koenraad","contributorId":197712,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Van Doorslaer","given":"Koenraad","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":714128,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Ruoppolo, Valeria","contributorId":197713,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Ruoppolo","given":"Valeria","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":714149,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Schmidt, Annie","contributorId":197714,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Schmidt","given":"Annie","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":714151,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Lescroel, Amelie","contributorId":197715,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Lescroel","given":"Amelie","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":714152,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Jongsomjit, Dennis","contributorId":197716,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Jongsomjit","given":"Dennis","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":714153,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Elrod, Megan","contributorId":197717,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Elrod","given":"Megan","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":714154,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6},{"text":"Kraberger, Simona","contributorId":197730,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Kraberger","given":"Simona","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":714155,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":7},{"text":"Stainton, Daisy","contributorId":197731,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Stainton","given":"Daisy","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":714156,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":8},{"text":"Dugger, Katie M. 0000-0002-4148-246X","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4148-246X","contributorId":36037,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Dugger","given":"Katie","email":"","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[{"id":517,"text":"Oregon Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit","active":false,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":714157,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":9},{"text":"Ballard, Grant","contributorId":197700,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Ballard","given":"Grant","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":714158,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":10},{"text":"Ainley, David G.","contributorId":32039,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Ainley","given":"David","email":"","middleInitial":"G.","affiliations":[{"id":34154,"text":"Point Reyes Bird Observatory, Stinson Beach, CA","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":714159,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":11},{"text":"Varsani, Arvind","contributorId":171722,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Varsani","given":"Arvind","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":714160,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":12}]}}

When interbedded clay layers are present, the complexity is more pronounced because hydrate dissociation tends to occur preferentially in the sediments adjacent to the clay layers due to clay layers acting as a heat source. This would potentially lead to shearing deformation along the sand/clay contacts and may contribute to solid migration, which hindered past field-scale gas production tests. This paper presents a near-wellbore simulation of sand/clay interbedded hydrate-bearing sediments that have been subjected to depressurization and discusses the effect of clay layers on sand production. </p>","largerWorkType":{"id":4,"text":"Book"},"largerWorkTitle":"Proceeding of the 9th International Conference on Gas Hydrates","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":12,"text":"Conference publication"},"conferenceTitle":"9th International Conference on Gas Hydrates","conferenceDate":"June 25-30, 2017","conferenceLocation":"Denver, CO","language":"English","usgsCitation":"Uchida, S., Lin, J., Myshakin, E., Seol, Y., Collett, T.S., and Boswell, R., 2017, Numerical simulations of sand production in interbedded hydrate-bearing sediments during depressurization, <i>in</i> Proceeding of the 9th International Conference on Gas Hydrates, Denver, CO, June 25-30, 2017, 10 p.","productDescription":"10 p.","ipdsId":"IP-084858","costCenters":[{"id":164,"text":"Central Energy Resources Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":344336,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":344335,"rank":1,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://www.netl.doe.gov/File%20Library/Research/Oil-Gas/methane%20hydrates/Uchida-ICGH9-839-SUR1.pdf"}],"publishingServiceCenter":{"id":2,"text":"Denver PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5979aa54e4b0ec1a488b8bfe","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Uchida, Shun","contributorId":195142,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Uchida","given":"Shun","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":706347,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Lin, Jeen-Shang","contributorId":195141,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Lin","given":"Jeen-Shang","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":706348,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Myshakin, Evgeniy","contributorId":195140,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Myshakin","given":"Evgeniy","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":706349,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Seol, Yongkoo","contributorId":195139,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Seol","given":"Yongkoo","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":706350,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Collett, Timothy S. 0000-0002-7598-4708 tcollett@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7598-4708","contributorId":1698,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Collett","given":"Timothy","email":"tcollett@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"S.","affiliations":[{"id":164,"text":"Central Energy Resources Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":678,"text":"Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":171,"text":"Central Mineral and Environmental Resources Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":255,"text":"Energy Resources Program","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":706346,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Boswell, Ray","contributorId":195143,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Boswell","given":"Ray","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":706351,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6}]}}

Derivations of optimal strategies for adaptive management, however, tend to be case specific and time consuming. In contrast, managers might seek relatively simple guidance, such as insight into when a new potential management action should be considered, and how much effort should be expended on trialing such an action. We constructed a two-time-step scenario where a manager is choosing between two possible management actions. The manager has a total budget that can be split between a learning phase and an implementation phase. We use this scenario to investigate when and how much a manager should invest in learning about the management actions available. The optimal investment in learning can be understood intuitively by accounting for the expected value of sample information, the benefits that accrue during learning, the direct costs of learning, and the opportunity costs of learning. We find that the optimal proportion of the budget to spend on learning is characterized by several critical thresholds that mark a jump from spending a large proportion of the budget on learning to spending nothing. For example, as sampling variance increases, it is optimal to spend a larger proportion of the budget on learning, up to a point: if the sampling variance passes a critical threshold, it is no longer beneficial to invest in learning. Similar thresholds are observed as a function of the total budget and the difference in the expected performance of the two actions. We illustrate how this model can be applied using a case study of choosing between alternative rearing diets for hihi, an endangered New Zealand passerine. Although the model presented is a simplified scenario, we believe it is relevant to many management situations. Managers often have relatively short time horizons for management, and might be reluctant to consider further investment in learning and monitoring beyond collecting data from a single time period.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Ecological Society of America","doi":"10.1002/eap.1515","usgsCitation":"Moore, A.L., Walker, L., Runge, M.C., McDonald-Madden, E., and McCarthy, M.A., 2017, Two-step adaptive management for choosing between two management actions: Ecological Applications, v. 27, no. 4, p. 1210-1222, https://doi.org/10.1002/eap.1515.","productDescription":"13 p.","startPage":"1210","endPage":"1222","ipdsId":"IP-076800","costCenters":[{"id":531,"text":"Patuxent Wildlife Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":490045,"rank":3,"type":{"id":41,"text":"Open Access External Repository Page"},"url":"https://hal.science/hal-01605477","text":"External Repository"},{"id":343215,"rank":1,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":357277,"rank":2,"type":{"id":42,"text":"Open Access USGS Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/ja/70189119/70189119.pdf","text":"USGS open-access version of article","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}}],"volume":"27","issue":"4","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":10,"text":"Baltimore PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2017-04-19","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"59576334e4b0d1f9f051b4ff","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Moore, Alana L.","contributorId":194047,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Moore","given":"Alana","email":"","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":703051,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Walker, Leila","contributorId":194048,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Walker","given":"Leila","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":703052,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Runge, Michael C. 0000-0002-8081-536X mrunge@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8081-536X","contributorId":3358,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Runge","given":"Michael","email":"mrunge@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"C.","affiliations":[{"id":531,"text":"Patuxent Wildlife Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":703050,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"McDonald-Madden, Eve","contributorId":139968,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"McDonald-Madden","given":"Eve","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":13337,"text":"CSIRO Ecosystem Services, Queensland, Australia","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":703053,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"McCarthy, Michael A","contributorId":173778,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"McCarthy","given":"Michael","email":"","middleInitial":"A","affiliations":[{"id":13336,"text":"University of Melbourne","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":703054,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5}]}}
