Lapillus and sagitta otoliths were examined 14 d postexposure for mark presence and evaluation using fluorescent microscopy. Overall, 93.3% of otoliths exposed to OTC exhibited a mark. Concentration of OTC affected the mean mark quality, whereas duration and otolith type examined did not. However, as concentration increased, so did mortality, suggesting a balance is needed to achieve marking goals. Based on our findings, batch marking of Shortnose Gar can be successful at OTC concentrations from 500 to 700 mg/L for 4–6 h, although mark quality may vary and mortality rates increase at the higher concentrations and longer durations.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"Taylor & Francis","doi":"10.1080/02755947.2017.1317679","usgsCitation":"Snow, R.A., and Long, J.M., 2017, Otolith marking of juvenile shortnose gar by immersion in oxytetracycline: North American Journal of Fisheries Management, v. 37, no. 4, p. 724-728, https://doi.org/10.1080/02755947.2017.1317679.","productDescription":"5 p.","startPage":"724","endPage":"728","ipdsId":"IP-081152","costCenters":[{"id":198,"text":"Coop Res Unit Atlanta","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":348614,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"37","issue":"4","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":9,"text":"Reston PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2017-06-06","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5a07e8d2e4b09af898c8cbbb","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Snow, Richard A.","contributorId":176213,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Snow","given":"Richard","email":"","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[{"id":27443,"text":"Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":718499,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Long, James M. 0000-0002-8658-9949 jmlong@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8658-9949","contributorId":3453,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Long","given":"James","email":"jmlong@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[{"id":198,"text":"Coop Res Unit Atlanta","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":718498,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}}

Burbot, Lota lota, a fish native to the Wind River Drainage, Wyoming and a species of conservation concern, have been introduced into the nearby Green River Drainage, Wyoming, where they are having negative effects on native fish species. We compared these native and introduced burbot populations to evaluate potential mechanisms that could be leading to introduction success. We examined genetic ancestry, physical habitat characteristics, community composition, and burbot abundance, relative weight, and size structure between the native and introduced range to elucidate potential differences. The origin of introduced burbot in Flaming Gorge Reservoir is most likely Boysen Reservoir and several nearby river populations in the native Wind River Drainage. Burbot populations did not show consistent differences in abundance, size structure, and relative weight between drainages, though Fontenelle Reservoir, in the introduced drainage, had the largest burbot. There were also limited environmental and community composition differences, though reservoirs in the introduced drainage had lower species richness and a higher percentage of non-native fish species than the reservoir in the native drainage. Burbot introduction in the Green River Drainage is likely an example of reservoir construction creating habitat with suitable environmental conditions to allow a southwards range expansion of this cold-water species. An understanding of the factors driving introduction success can allow better management of species, both in their introduced and native range. </p>","language":"English","publisher":"REABIC","doi":"10.3391/ai.2017.12.2.12","usgsCitation":"Walters, A.W., Mandeville, E.G., Saunders, W.C., Gerrity, P.C., Skorupski, J.A., Underwood, Z.E., and Gardunio, E.I., 2017, Comparison of burbot populations across adjacent native and introduced ranges: Aquatic Invasions, v. 12, no. 2, p. 251-262, https://doi.org/10.3391/ai.2017.12.2.12.","productDescription":"12 p.","startPage":"251","endPage":"262","ipdsId":"IP-077779","costCenters":[{"id":200,"text":"Coop Res Unit Seattle","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":469806,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.3391/ai.2017.12.2.12","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":348305,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Wyoming","otherGeospatial":"Green River, Wind River","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -110.335693359375,\n              41.000629848685385\n            ],\n            [\n              -107.89672851562499,\n              41.000629848685385\n            ],\n            [\n              -107.89672851562499,\n              43.671844983221604\n            ],\n            [\n              -110.335693359375,\n              43.671844983221604\n            ],\n            [\n              -110.335693359375,\n              41.000629848685385\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"12","issue":"2","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":12,"text":"Tacoma PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5a07e8dde4b09af898c8cbc3","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Walters, Annika W. 0000-0002-8638-6682 awalters@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8638-6682","contributorId":4190,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Walters","given":"Annika","email":"awalters@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"W.","affiliations":[{"id":200,"text":"Coop Res Unit Seattle","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":717511,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Mandeville, Elizabeth G.","contributorId":166947,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Mandeville","given":"Elizabeth","email":"","middleInitial":"G.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":720763,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Saunders, W.

The Alaska National Land Cover Database (NLCD) 2001 was the first 30-m resolution baseline land cover product of the entire state derived from circa 2001 Landsat imagery and geospatial ancillary data. We developed a comprehensive approach named AKUP11 to update Alaska NLCD from 2001 to 2011 and provide a 10-year cyclical update of the state's land cover and land cover changes. Our method is designed to characterize the main land cover changes associated with different drivers, including the conversion of forests to shrub and grassland primarily as a result of wildland fire and forest harvest, the vegetation successional processes after disturbance, and changes of surface water extent and glacier ice/snow associated with weather and climate changes. For natural vegetated areas, a component named AKUP11-VEG was developed for updating the land cover that involves four major steps: 1) identify the disturbed and successional areas using Landsat images and ancillary datasets; 2) update the land cover status for these areas using a SKILL model (System of Knowledge-based Integrated-trajectory Land cover Labeling); 3) perform decision tree classification; and 4) develop a final land cover and land cover change product through the postprocessing modeling. For water and ice/snow areas, another component named AKUP11-WIS was developed for initial land cover change detection, removal of the terrain shadow effects, and exclusion of ephemeral snow changes using a 3-year MODIS snow extent dataset from 2010 to 2012. The overall approach was tested in three pilot study areas in Alaska, with each area consisting of four Landsat image footprints. The results from the pilot study show that the overall accuracy in detecting change and no-change is 90% and the overall accuracy of the updated land cover label for 2011 is 86%. The method provided a robust, consistent, and efficient means for capturing major disturbance events and updating land cover for Alaska. The method has subsequently been applied to generate the land cover and land cover change products for the entire state of Alaska.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Elsevier","doi":"10.1016/j.rse.2017.04.021","usgsCitation":"Jin, S., Yang, L., Zhu, Z., and Homer, C.G., 2017, A land cover change detection and classification protocol for updating Alaska NLCD 2001 to 2011: Remote Sensing of Environment, v. 195, p. 44-55, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rse.2017.04.021.","productDescription":"12 p.","startPage":"44","endPage":"55","ipdsId":"IP-082390","costCenters":[{"id":222,"text":"Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":347728,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Alaska","volume":"195","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":4,"text":"Rolla PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"59f83a36e4b063d5d30980dc","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Jin, Suming 0000-0001-9919-8077 sjin@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9919-8077","contributorId":4397,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Jin","given":"Suming","email":"sjin@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":223,"text":"Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center (Geography)","active":false,"usgs":true},{"id":222,"text":"Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":717548,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Yang, Limin 0000-0002-2843-6944 lyang@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2843-6944","contributorId":4305,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Yang","given":"Limin","email":"lyang@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":223,"text":"Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center (Geography)","active":false,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":717551,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Zhu, Zhe 0000-0001-8283-6407 zhezhu@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8283-6407","contributorId":168792,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Zhu","given":"Zhe","email":"zhezhu@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":223,"text":"Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center (Geography)","active":false,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":717550,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Homer, Collin G. 0000-0003-4755-8135 homer@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4755-8135","contributorId":2262,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Homer","given":"Collin","email":"homer@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"G.","affiliations":[{"id":222,"text":"Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":223,"text":"Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center (Geography)","active":false,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":717549,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4}]}}

However, inferring kinematic source model parameters for finite‐fault ruptures is an intrinsically underdetermined problem (the problem of nonuniqueness), because we are restricted to finite noisy observations. Although many studies use least‐squares techniques to make the finite‐fault problem tractable, these methods generally lack the ability to apply non‐Gaussian error analysis and the imposition of nonlinear constraints. However, the Bayesian approach can be employed to find a Gaussian or non‐Gaussian distribution of all probable model parameters, while utilizing nonlinear constraints.

In implementing the Bayesian method, we further present two distinct solutions to investigate the uncertainties by performing the inversion with and without velocity structure perturbations. We find that the posterior ensemble becomes broader when including velocity structure variability and introduces a spatial smearing of slip. Using the Bayesian framework solely on teleseismic body waves, we find rake is poorly constrained by the observations and rise time is poorly resolved when slip amplitude is low.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Seismological Society of America","doi":"10.1785/0120160268","usgsCitation":"Clayton, B., Hartzell, S.H., Moschetti, M.P., and Minson, S.E., 2017, Finite‐fault Bayesian inversion of teleseismic body waves: Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, v. 107, no. 3, p. 1526-1544, https://doi.org/10.1785/0120160268.","productDescription":"19 p.","startPage":"1526","endPage":"1544","ipdsId":"IP-083374","costCenters":[{"id":300,"text":"Geologic Hazards Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":346721,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"107","issue":"3","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":2,"text":"Denver PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2017-03-28","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"59e71691e4b05fe04cd331a5","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Clayton, Brandon 0000-0003-0502-7184 bclayton@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0502-7184","contributorId":197196,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Clayton","given":"Brandon","email":"bclayton@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":300,"text":"Geologic Hazards Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":712859,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Hartzell, Stephen H. 0000-0003-0858-9043 shartzell@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0858-9043","contributorId":2594,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Hartzell","given":"Stephen","email":"shartzell@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"H.","affiliations":[{"id":300,"text":"Geologic Hazards Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":712860,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Moschetti, Morgan P. 0000-0001-7261-0295 mmoschetti@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7261-0295","contributorId":1662,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Moschetti","given":"Morgan","email":"mmoschetti@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"P.","affiliations":[{"id":300,"text":"Geologic Hazards Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":712861,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Minson, Sarah E. 0000-0001-5869-3477 sminson@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5869-3477","contributorId":5357,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Minson","given":"Sarah","email":"sminson@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"E.","affiliations":[{"id":237,"text":"Earthquake Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":712862,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4}]}}

Traditionally, reduced nest predation has been considered the primary benefit underlying evolution of nest structure, whereas thermal benefits have been considered a secondary or even non-existent factor. Yet, the relative roles of these factors on nest structures remain largely unexplored.</li><li>Enclosed nests have a constructed or natural roof connected to sides that allow a restricted opening or tube entrance that provides cover in all directions except the entrance, whereas open nests are cups or platforms that are open above. We show that construction of enclosed nests is more common among songbirds (Passeriformes) in tropical and southern hemisphere regions than in north temperate regions. This geographic pattern may reflect selection from predation risk, under long-standing assumptions that nest predation rates are higher in southern regions and that enclosed nests reduce predation risk compared with open cup nests. We therefore compared nest predation rates between enclosed vs. open nests in 114 songbird species that do not nest in tree holes among five communities of coexisting birds, and for 205 non-hole-nesting species from the literature, across northern temperate, tropical, and southern hemisphere regions.</li><li>Among coexisting species, enclosed nests had lower nest predation rates than open nests in two south temperate sites, but not in either of two tropical sites or a north temperate site. Nest predation did not differ between nest types at any latitude based on literature data. Among 319 species from both our field studies and the literature, enclosed nests did not show consistent benefits of reduced predation and, in fact, predation was not consistently higher in the tropics, contrary to long-standing perspectives.</li><li>Thermal benefits of enclosed nests were indicated based on three indirect results. First, species that built enclosed nests were smaller than species using open nests both among coexisting species and among species from the literature. Smaller species lose heat fastest and thereby may gain important thermal benefits from reduced convective cooling. Second, eggs were warmed by parents for less time in species with enclosed nests, as can be expected if egg cooling rates are slower. Finally, species using enclosed nests exhibited enhanced growth of mass and wings compared with species using open nests, suggesting reduced thermoregulatory costs allowed increased energy for growth.</li><li>Enclosed nests may therefore provide more consistent thermal than nest predation benefits, counter to long-standing perspectives.</li></ol>","language":"English","publisher":"British Ecological Society","doi":"10.1111/1365-2435.12819","usgsCitation":"Martin, T.E., Boyce, A.J., Fierro-Calderon, K., Mitchell, A.E., Armstad, C.E., Mouton, J.C., and Bin Soudi, E.E., 2017, Enclosed nests may provide greater thermal than nest predation benefits compared with open nests across latitudes: Functional Ecology, v. 31, no. 6, p. 1231-1240, https://doi.org/10.1111/1365-2435.12819.","productDescription":"10 p.","startPage":"1231","endPage":"1240","ipdsId":"IP-066309","costCenters":[{"id":200,"text":"Coop Res Unit Seattle","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":469793,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1111/1365-2435.12819","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":349636,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"31","issue":"6","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":12,"text":"Tacoma PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2017-01-25","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5a60fbbee4b06e28e9c23546","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Martin, Thomas E. 0000-0002-4028-4867 tmartin@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4028-4867","contributorId":1208,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Martin","given":"Thomas","email":"tmartin@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"E.","affiliations":[{"id":200,"text":"Coop Res Unit Seattle","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":716709,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Boyce, Andy J.","contributorId":200182,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Boyce","given":"Andy","email":"","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":724298,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Fierro-Calderon, Karolina","contributorId":13500,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Fierro-Calderon","given":"Karolina","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":724299,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Mitchell, Adam E.","contributorId":166758,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Mitchell","given":"Adam","email":"","middleInitial":"E.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":724300,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Armstad, Connor E.","contributorId":201088,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Armstad","given":"Connor","email":"","middleInitial":"E.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":724301,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Mouton, James C.","contributorId":198675,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Mouton","given":"James","email":"","middleInitial":"C.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":724302,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6},{"text":"Bin Soudi, Evertius E.","contributorId":201089,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Bin Soudi","given":"Evertius","email":"","middleInitial":"E.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":724303,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":7}]}}

Results from a simulation analysis of detection probabilities and survey effort suggest that greater temporal and spatial effort could make point-count surveys more applicable for evaluating golden eagle occurrence in survey areas; however, increased effort would increase financial costs associated with additional person-hours and logistics (e.g., fuel, lodging). Future surveys can benefit from a pilot study and careful consideration of prior information about counts or densities of golden eagles in the survey area before developing a survey design.

Although this rapid development may be beneficial in fragmented waters, our data suggest it may be associated with lower survival rates. Furthermore, those embryos incubating at high temperatures, or in high levels of total dissolved solids and total suspended solids resulted in less viable embryos and larvae than those incubating in all other temperature, total dissolved solid, and total suspended solid treatment groups.

Existing lava flow models vary in simplifying assumptions, physics, dimensionality, and the degree to which they have been validated against analytical solutions, experiments, and natural observations. In order to assess existing models and guide the development of new codes, we conduct a benchmarking study of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models for lava flow emplacement, including VolcFlow, OpenFOAM, FLOW-3D, COMSOL, and MOLASSES. We model viscous, cooling, and solidifying flows over horizontal planes, sloping surfaces, and into topographic obstacles. We compare model results to physical observations made during well-controlled analogue and molten basalt experiments, and to analytical theory when available. Overall, the models accurately simulate viscous flow with some variability in flow thickness where flows intersect obstacles. OpenFOAM, COMSOL, and FLOW-3D can each reproduce experimental measurements of cooling viscous flows, and OpenFOAM and FLOW-3D simulations with temperature-dependent rheology match results from molten basalt experiments. We assess the goodness-of-fit of the simulation results and the computational cost. Our results guide the selection of numerical simulation codes for different applications, including inferring emplacement conditions of past lava flows, modeling the temporal evolution of ongoing flows during eruption, and probabilistic assessment of lava flow hazard prior to eruption. Finally, we outline potential experiments and desired key observational data from future flows that would extend existing benchmarking data sets.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Springer","doi":"10.1186/s13617-017-0061-x","usgsCitation":"Dietterich, H.R., Lev, E., Chen, J., Richardson, J.A., and Cashman, K., 2017, Benchmarking computational fluid dynamics models of lava flow simulation for hazard assessment, forecasting, and risk management: Journal of Applied Volcanology, v. 6, no. 9, 14 p., https://doi.org/10.1186/s13617-017-0061-x.","productDescription":"14 p.","ipdsId":"IP-081247","costCenters":[{"id":617,"text":"Volcano Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":37273,"text":"Advanced Research Computing (ARC)","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":469810,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s13617-017-0061-x","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":343466,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"6","issue":"9","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":14,"text":"Menlo Park PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2017-05-31","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"59609db7e4b0d1f9f0594c3a","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Dietterich, Hannah R. 0000-0001-7898-4343 hdietterich@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7898-4343","contributorId":194354,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Dietterich","given":"Hannah","email":"hdietterich@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"R.","affiliations":[{"id":617,"text":"Volcano Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":703807,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Lev, Einat 0000-0002-8174-0558","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8174-0558","contributorId":194355,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Lev","given":"Einat","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":27369,"text":"Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory at Columbia University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":703808,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Chen, Jiangzhi","contributorId":194356,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Chen","given":"Jiangzhi","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":703809,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Richardson, Jacob A.","contributorId":194357,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Richardson","given":"Jacob","email":"","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":703810,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Cashman, Katharine V.","contributorId":40097,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Cashman","given":"Katharine V.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":703811,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5}]}}

In addition, circulation was simulated with the numerical modeling system COAWST, initialized with the observed incident waves and channel bathymetry, and with an extended set of wave conditions and channel geometries. The simulated flows are consistent with alongshore flows and rip-current circulation patterns observed in the surf zone. Near the offshore-directed flows that develop in the channel, the dominant terms in modeled momentum balances are wave-breaking accelerations, pressure gradients, advection, and the vortex force. The balances vary spatially, and are sensitive to wave conditions and the channel geometry. The observed and modeled maximum offshore-directed flow speeds are correlated with a parameter based on the alongshore gradient in breaking-wave-driven-setup across the nonuniform bathymetry (a function of wave height and angle, water depths in the channel and on the sandbar, and a breaking threshold) and the breaking-wave-driven alongshore flow speed. The offshore-directed flow speed increases with dissipation on the bar and reaches a maximum (when the surf zone is saturated) set by the vertical scale of the bathymetric variability.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"AGU","doi":"10.1002/2016JC012222","usgsCitation":"Moulton, M., Elgar, S., Raubenheimer, B., Warner, J., and Kumar, N., 2017, Rip currents and alongshore flows in single channels dredged in the surf zone: Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, v. 122, no. 5, p. 3799-3816, https://doi.org/10.1002/2016JC012222.","productDescription":"18 p.","startPage":"3799","endPage":"3816","ipdsId":"IP-079457","costCenters":[{"id":678,"text":"Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":469804,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/2016jc012222","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":343455,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"122","issue":"5","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":11,"text":"Pembroke PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2017-05-08","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"595f4c3ce4b0d1f9f057e333","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Moulton, Melissa","contributorId":194341,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Moulton","given":"Melissa","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":703772,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Elgar, Steve","contributorId":194339,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Elgar","given":"Steve","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":703773,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Raubenheimer, Britt","contributorId":194340,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Raubenheimer","given":"Britt","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":703774,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Warner, John C. 0000-0002-3734-8903 jcwarner@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3734-8903","contributorId":2681,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Warner","given":"John C.","email":"jcwarner@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":678,"text":"Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":703771,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Kumar, Nirnimesh","contributorId":190663,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Kumar","given":"Nirnimesh","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":703775,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5}]}}

Source estimates are difficult to obtain using traditional monitoring techniques, but sediment source fingerprinting or tracing procedures, have emerged as a potentially valuable alternative. Despite the rapidly increasing numbers of studies reporting the use of sediment source fingerprinting, several key challenges and uncertainties continue to hamper consensus among the international scientific community on key components of the existing methodological procedures. Accordingly, this contribution reviews and presents recent developments for several key aspects of fingerprinting, namely: sediment source classification, catchment source and target sediment sampling, tracer selection, grain size issues, tracer conservatism, source apportionment modelling, and assessment of source predictions using artificial mixtures.

Consistent with previous surveys, the TARs identified in HiRISE DTMs are found at all elevations, irrespective of the regional thermal inertia of the surface. Ten DTMs were selected for measuring the characteristics of the TARs, including maximum height, mean height, mean spacing (wavelength), and the slope of the surface where they are located. We confined our measurements to features that were taller than 1 m and spaced more than 10 m apart.\n\nWe found a surprisingly wide variability of TAR sizes within each local region (typically 5 km by 25 km), with up to a factor of 7 difference in TAR wavelengths in a single DTM. The TAR wavelengths do not appear to be correlated to latitude or elevation, but the largest TARs in our small survey were found at lower elevations. The tallest TARs we measured were on the flat floor of Moni crater, within Kaiser crater in the southern highlands. These TARs are up to 14 m tall, with a typical wavelength of 120 m. TAR heights are weakly correlated with their wavelengths. The height-to-wavelength ratios for most TARs are far less than 1/2π (the maximum predicted for antidunes), however in two cases the ratio is close to 1/2π, and in one case (in the bend of a channel) the ratio exceeds 1/2π. TAR wavelengths are uncorrelated with surface slope, both on local and regional scales. TAR heights are weakly anti-correlated with local slope.\n\nThese results help constrain models of TAR formation, particularly a new hypothesis (Geissler, 2014) that suggests that TARs were formed from micron-sized dust that was transported in suspension. The lack of correlation between TAR wavelength and surface slope seems to rule out formation by gravity-driven dust flows such as avalanches or density currents, and suggests that the TARs were instead produced by the Martian winds.","language":"English","publisher":"Elsevier","doi":"10.1016/j.aeolia.2016.08.008","usgsCitation":"Geissler, P., and Wilgus, J., 2017, The morphology of transverse aeolian ridges on Mars: Aeolian Research, v. 26, p. 63-71, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.aeolia.2016.08.008.","productDescription":"9 p.","startPage":"63","endPage":"71","ipdsId":"IP-073238","costCenters":[{"id":131,"text":"Astrogeology Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":355665,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"26","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":14,"text":"Menlo Park PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5b6fc67ee4b0f5d57878eb86","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Geissler, Paul","contributorId":206262,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Geissler","given":"Paul","affiliations":[{"id":131,"text":"Astrogeology Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":739923,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Wilgus, Justin T.","contributorId":206263,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Wilgus","given":"Justin T.","affiliations":[{"id":7202,"text":"NAU","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":739924,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}}

Globally, a suite of disturbances (e.g., agriculture, urbanization, climate change) degrades habitats and threatens biodiversity. A mosaic approach (in which connected, interacting collections of juxtaposed habitat patches are examined) provides a scientific foundation for addressing many disturbance‐related, ecologically based conservation problems. For example, if specific habitat types disproportionately increase biodiversity, these keystones should be incorporated into research and management plans. Our sampling of fish biodiversity and aquatic habitat along ten 3‐km sites within the Upper Neosho River subdrainage, KS, from June‐August 2013 yielded three generalizable ecological insights. First, specific types of mesohabitat patches (i.e., pool, riffle, run, and glide) were physically distinct and created unique mosaics of mesohabitats that varied across sites. Second, species richness was higher in riffle mesohabitats when mesohabitat size reflected field availability. Furthermore, habitat mosaics that included more riffles had greater habitat diversity and more fish species. Thus, riffles (&lt;5% of sampled area) acted as keystone habitats. Third, additional conceptual development, which we initiate here, can broaden the identification of keystone habitats across ecosystems and further operationalize this concept for research and conservation. Thus, adopting a mosaic approach can increase scientific understanding of organismal‐habitat relationships, maintain natural biodiversity, advance spatial ecology, and facilitate effective conservation of native biodiversity in human‐altered ecosystems.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Wiley","doi":"10.1111/gcb.13846","usgsCitation":"Hitchman, S.M., Mather, M.E., Smith, J.M., and Fencl, J.S., 2017, A mosaic-based approach is needed to conserve biodiversity in disturbed freshwater ecosystems: Global Change Biology, v. 24, no. 1, p. 308-321, https://doi.org/10.1111/gcb.13846.","productDescription":"14 p.","startPage":"308","endPage":"321","ipdsId":"IP-077478","costCenters":[{"id":198,"text":"Coop Res Unit Atlanta","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":354160,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Kansas","otherGeospatial":"Upper Neosho River","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -96.65771484375,\n              34.79576153473033\n            ],\n            [\n              -94.482421875,\n              34.79576153473033\n            ],\n            [\n              -94.482421875,\n              39.21523130910491\n            ],\n            [\n              -96.65771484375,\n              39.21523130910491\n            ],\n            [\n              -96.65771484375,\n              34.79576153473033\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"24","issue":"1","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":9,"text":"Reston PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2017-09-11","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5afee86ce4b0da30c1bfc44b","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Hitchman, Sean M.","contributorId":204805,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Hitchman","given":"Sean","email":"","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":735344,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Mather, Martha E. 0000-0003-3027-0215 mather@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3027-0215","contributorId":2580,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Mather","given":"Martha","email":"mather@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"E.","affiliations":[{"id":198,"text":"Coop Res Unit Atlanta","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":200,"text":"Coop Res Unit Seattle","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":735338,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Smith, Joseph M.","contributorId":106712,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Smith","given":"Joseph","email":"","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[{"id":6932,"text":"University of Massachusetts, Amherst","active":true,"usgs":false},{"id":17855,"text":"School of Aquatic and Fishery Sciences, University of Washington, Seattle, WA","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":735345,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Fencl, Jane S.","contributorId":166699,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Fencl","given":"Jane","email":"","middleInitial":"S.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":735346,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4}]}}

WNV exists in a bird-mosquito transmission cycle in which passerine birds act as the primary reservoir host. As a public health concern, the mammalian immune response to WNV has been studied in detail. Little, however, is known about the avian immune response to WNV.

Thus, to study the immune response to WNV in birds, we experimentally infected captive zebra finches (</span><i>Taeniopygia guttata</i><span>). Zebra finches provide a useful model, as like many natural avian hosts they are moderately susceptible to WNV and thus provide sufficient viremia to infect mosquitoes. We performed RNAseq in spleen tissue during peak viremia to provide an overview of the transcriptional response. In general, we find strong parallels with the mammalian immune response to WNV, including upregulation of five genes in the Rig-I-like receptor signalling pathway, and offer insights into avian-specific responses. Together with complementary immunological assays, we provide a model of the avian immune response to WNV and set the stage for future comparative studies among variably susceptible populations and species.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"The Royal Society","doi":"10.1098/rsos.170296","usgsCitation":"Newhouse, D.J., Hofmeister, E.K., and Balakrishnan, C.N., 2017, Transcriptional response to West Nile virus infection in the zebra finch (Taeniopygia guttata): Royal Society Open Science, v. 4, p. 1-12, https://doi.org/10.1098/rsos.170296.","productDescription":"170296; 12 p.","startPage":"1","endPage":"12","ipdsId":"IP-080689","costCenters":[{"id":456,"text":"National Wildlife Health Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":469812,"rank":3,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1098/rsos.170296","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":341923,"rank":1,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":344200,"rank":2,"type":{"id":30,"text":"Data Release"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.5066/F7G44NHF","text":"USGS data release","description":"USGS data release","linkHelpText":"Transcriptional response to West Nile virus infection in the zebra finch (Taeniopygia guttata), a songbird model for immune function"}],"volume":"4","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":6,"text":"Columbus PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2017-06-28","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"592fd636e4b0e9bd0ea896b8","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Newhouse, Daniel J.","contributorId":192508,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Newhouse","given":"Daniel","email":"","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":696687,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Hofmeister, Erik K. 0000-0002-6360-3912 ehofmeister@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6360-3912","contributorId":3230,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Hofmeister","given":"Erik","email":"ehofmeister@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"K.","affiliations":[{"id":456,"text":"National Wildlife Health Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":696686,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Balakrishnan, Christopher N.","contributorId":177924,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Balakrishnan","given":"Christopher","email":"","middleInitial":"N.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":696688,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3}]}}

The conceptual model of the groundwater flow system integrates available data and information on the groundwater resources of the upper Umatilla River Basin and provides insights regarding key hydrologic processes, such as the interaction between the groundwater and surface water systems and the hydrologic budget.</p><p>The conceptual groundwater model developed for the study area divides the groundwater flow system into five hydrogeologic units: a sedimentary unit, three Columbia River basalt units, and a basement rock unit. The sedimentary unit, which is not widely used as a source of groundwater in the upper basin, is present primarily in the lowlands and consists of conglomerate, loess, silt and sand deposits, and recent alluvium. The Columbia River Basalt Group is a series of Miocene flood basalts that are present throughout the study area. The basalt is uplifted in the southeastern half of the study area, and either underlies the sedimentary unit, or is exposed at the surface. The interflow zones of the flood basalts are the primary aquifers in the study area. Beneath the flood basalts are basement rocks composed of Paleogene to Pre-Tertiary sedimentary, volcanic, igneous, and metamorphic rocks that are not used as a source of groundwater in the upper Umatilla River Basin.</p><p>The major components of the groundwater budget in the upper Umatilla River Basin are (1) groundwater recharge, (2) groundwater discharge to surface water and wells, (3) subsurface flow into and out of the basin, and (4) changes in groundwater storage.</p><p>Recharge from precipitation occurs primarily in the upland areas of the Blue Mountains. Mean annual recharge from infiltration of precipitation for the upper Umatilla River Basin during 1951–2010 is about 9.6 inches per year (in/yr). Annual recharge from precipitation for water year 2010 ranged from 3 in. in the lowland area to about 30 in. in the Blue Mountains. Using Kahle and others (2011) data and methods from the Columbia Plateau regional model, average annual recharge from irrigation is estimated to be about 2.2 in/yr for the 13 square miles of irrigated land in the upper Umatilla River Basin.</p><p>Groundwater discharges to streams throughout the year and is a large component of annual streamflow in the upper Umatilla River Basin. Upward vertical hydraulic gradients near the Umatilla River indicate the potential for groundwater discharge. Groundwater discharge to the Umatilla River generally occurs in the upper part of the basin, upstream from the main stem.</p><p>Groundwater development in the upper Umatilla River Basin began sometime after 1950 (Davies-Smith and others, 1988; Gonthier and Bolke, 1991). By water year 2010, groundwater use in the upper Umatilla River Basin was approximately 11,214 acre-feet (acre-ft). Total groundwater withdrawals for the study area were estimated at 7,575 acre-ft for irrigation, 3,173 acre-ft for municipal use, and 466 acre-ft for domestic use.</p><p>Total groundwater flow into or from the study area depends locally on geology and hydraulic head distribution. Estimates of subsurface flow were calculated using the U.S. Geological Survey Columbia Plateau regional groundwater flow model. Net flux values range from 25,000 to 27,700 acre-ft per year and indicate that groundwater is moving out of the upper Umatilla River Basin into the lower Umatilla River Basin.</p><p>Water level changes depend on storage changes within an aquifer, and storage changes depend on the storage properties of the aquifer, as well as recharge to or discharge from the aquifer. Groundwater level data in the upper Umatilla River Basin are mostly available from wells in Columbia River basalt units, which indicate areas of long-term water level declines in the Grande Ronde basalt unit near Pendleton and Athena, Oregon. Groundwater levels in the Wanapum basalt unit do not show long-term declines in the upper Umatilla River Basin. Because of pumping, some areas in the upper Umatilla River Basin have shown a decrease, or reversal, in the upward vertical head gradient.</p><p>Key data needs are improvement of the spatial and temporal distribution of water-level data collection and continued monitoring of streamflow gaging sites. Additionally, refinement of recharge estimates would enhance understanding of the processes that provide the groundwater resources in the upper Umatilla River Basin.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","publisherLocation":"Reston, VA","doi":"10.3133/sir20175020","collaboration":"Prepared in cooperation with Confederated Tribes of

Furthermore, croplands are known as water guzzlers by consuming anywhere between 70% and 90% of all human water use globally. Given these facts and the increase in global population to nearly 10 billion by the year 2050, the need for routine, rapid, and automated cropland mapping year-after-year and/or season-after-season is of great importance. The overarching goal of this study was to generate standard and routine cropland products, year-after-year, over very large areas through the use of two novel methods: (a) quantitative spectral matching techniques (QSMTs) applied at continental level and (b) rule-based Automated Cropland Classification Algorithm (ACCA) with the ability to hind-cast, now-cast, and future-cast. Australia was chosen for the study given its extensive croplands, rich history of agriculture, and yet nonexistent routine yearly generated cropland products using multi-temporal remote sensing. This research produced three distinct cropland products using Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) 250-m normalized difference vegetation index 16-day composite time-series data for 16 years: 2000 through 2015. The products consisted of: (1) cropland extent/areas versus cropland fallow areas, (2) irrigated versus rainfed croplands, and (3) cropping intensities: single, double, and continuous cropping. An accurate reference cropland product (RCP) for the year 2014 (RCP2014) produced using QSMT was used as a knowledge base to train and develop the ACCA algorithm that was then applied to the MODIS time-series data for the years 2000–2015. A comparison between the ACCA-derived cropland products (ACPs) for the year 2014 (ACP2014) versus RCP2014 provided an overall agreement of 89.4% (kappa = 0.814) with six classes: (a) producer’s accuracies varying between 72% and 90% and (b) user’s accuracies varying between 79% and 90%. ACPs for the individual years 2000–2013 and 2015 (ACP2000–ACP2013, ACP2015) showed very strong similarities with several other studies. The extent and vigor of the Australian croplands versus cropland fallows were accurately captured by the ACCA algorithm for the years 2000–2015, thus highlighting the value of the study in food security analysis.

Given the cryptic nature and habitat characteristics of the western pond turtle (</span><i><i>Emys marmorata</i></i><span>), however, imperfect detection may be high and population estimates are frequently varied and unreliable. As a case study to investigate this issue, we used temperature dataloggers to examine turtle behavior at 2 long-term monitoring sites with different hydrological characteristics in Sequoia National Park, California, to determine if common stream-survey techniques are consistent with site-specific turtle behavior. Sycamore Creek is an intermittent stream that dries up every summer while the North Fork Kaweah River flows year-round. We found that while turtles spent most of the recorded time in the water (55% in Sycamore Creek and 82% in the North Fork Kaweah River), the timing of traditional surveys only coincided with the turtles' aquatic activity in the North Fork Kaweah River. At Sycamore Creek, turtles were most likely to be in the water at night. In contrast, failure to detect turtles in North Fork Kaweah River is likely owing to the larger size and complexity of the underwater habitat. In both streams, turtles were also more likely to be in the water in the weeks leading up to important changes in hydroperiods.

Unlike other databases that report disease prevalence or count outbreaks per country, Murray </span><i>et al.</i><span> report health impacts in per-person disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), allowing comparison across diseases with lethal and sublethal health effects. We investigated the spatial and temporal relationships between DALYs lost to infectious disease and potential demographic, economic, environmental and biotic drivers, for the 60 intermediate-sized countries where data were available and comparable. Most drivers had unique associations with each disease. For example, temperature was positively associated with some diseases and negatively associated with others, perhaps due to differences in disease agent thermal optima, transmission modes and host species identities. Biodiverse countries tended to have high disease burdens, consistent with the expectation that high diversity of potential hosts should support high disease transmission. Contrary to the dilution effect hypothesis, increases in biodiversity over time were not correlated with improvements in human health, and increases in forestation over time were actually associated with increased disease burden. Urbanization and wealth were associated with lower burdens for many diseases, a pattern that could arise from increased access to sanitation and healthcare in cities and increased investment in healthcare. The importance of urbanization and wealth helps to explain why most infectious diseases have become less burdensome over the past three decades, and points to possible levers for further progress in improving global public health.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"The Royal Society Publishing","doi":"10.1098/rstb.2016.0122","usgsCitation":"Wood, C., McInturff, A., Young, H.S., Kim, D., and Lafferty, K.D., 2017, Human infectious disease burdens decrease with urbanization but not with biodiversity: Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, v. 372, no. 1722, 14 p.; Article 20160122, https://doi.org/10.1098/rstb.2016.0122.","productDescription":"14 p.; Article 20160122","ipdsId":"IP-077842","costCenters":[{"id":651,"text":"Western Ecological Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":469813,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1098/rstb.2016.0122","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":341924,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"372","issue":"1722","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":1,"text":"Sacramento PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2017-04-24","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"592fd637e4b0e9bd0ea896c2","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Wood, Chelsea L.","contributorId":36866,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Wood","given":"Chelsea L.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":696650,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"McInturff, Alex","contributorId":192502,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"McInturff","given":"Alex","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":696651,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Young, Hillary S.","contributorId":53711,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Young","given":"Hillary","email":"","middleInitial":"S.","affiliations":[{"id":13007,"text":"Department of Ecology, Evolution and Marine Biology, University of California, Santa Barbara","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":696652,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Kim, DoHyung","contributorId":192503,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Kim","given":"DoHyung","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":696653,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Lafferty, Kevin D. 0000-0001-7583-4593 klafferty@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7583-4593","contributorId":1415,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Lafferty","given":"Kevin","email":"klafferty@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"D.","affiliations":[{"id":651,"text":"Western Ecological Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":696649,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5}]}}

The relationship between ERI data and resistivity is nonlinear; therefore, these limitations depend on site conditions and survey design and are best assessed through forward and inverse modeling exercises prior to field investigations. In this approach, proposed field surveys are first numerically simulated given the expected electrical properties of the site, and the resulting hypothetical data are then analyzed using inverse models. Performing ERI forward/inverse modeling, however, requires substantial expertise and can take many hours to implement. We present a new spreadsheet-based tool, the Scenario Evaluator for Electrical Resistivity (SEER), which features a graphical user interface that allows users to manipulate a resistivity model and instantly view how that model would likely be interpreted by an ERI survey. The SEER tool is intended for use by those who wish to determine the value of including ERI to achieve project goals, and is designed to have broad utility in industry, teaching, and research.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Wiley","doi":"10.1111/gwat.12522","usgsCitation":"Terry, N., Day-Lewis, F.D., Robinson, J.L., Slater, L., Halford, K.J., Binley, A., Lane, J.W., and Werkema, D.D., 2017, Scenario Evaluator for Electrical Resistivity survey pre-modeling tool: Groundwater, v. 55, no. 6, p. 885-890, https://doi.org/10.1111/gwat.12522.","productDescription":"6 p.","startPage":"885","endPage":"890","ipdsId":"IP-085916","costCenters":[{"id":486,"text":"OGW Branch of Geophysics","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":469814,"rank":1,"type":{"id":41,"text":"Open Access External Repository Page"},"url":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/6145077","text":"External Repository"},{"id":438325,"rank":0,"type":{"id":30,"text":"Data Release"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.5066/F7028PQ1","text":"USGS data release","linkHelpText":"Scenario Evaluator for Electrical Resistivity (SEER) Survey Design Tool"},{"id":341955,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"55","issue":"6","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":9,"text":"Reston PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2017-05-23","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"592fd631e4b0e9bd0ea89692","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Terry, Neil C. 0000-0002-3965-340X nterry@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3965-340X","contributorId":192554,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Terry","given":"Neil","email":"nterry@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"C.","affiliations":[{"id":486,"text":"OGW Branch of Geophysics","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":37277,"text":"WMA - Earth System Processes Division","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":493,"text":"Office of Ground Water","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":696814,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Day-Lewis, Frederick D. 0000-0003-3526-886X daylewis@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3526-886X","contributorId":1672,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Day-Lewis","given":"Frederick","email":"daylewis@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"D.","affiliations":[{"id":493,"text":"Office of Ground Water","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":486,"text":"OGW Branch of Geophysics","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":37277,"text":"WMA - Earth System Processes Division","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":696815,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Robinson, Judith L.","contributorId":152119,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Robinson","given":"Judith","email":"","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[{"id":18871,"text":"Rutgers University-Newark, Dept. of Earth & Environmental Sciences","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":696816,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Slater, Lee D. 0000-0003-0292-746X","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0292-746X","contributorId":192555,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Slater","given":"Lee D.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":696817,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Halford, Keith J. 0000-0002-7322-1846 khalford@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7322-1846","contributorId":1374,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Halford","given":"Keith","email":"khalford@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[{"id":465,"text":"Nevada Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":696818,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Binley, Andrew 0000-0002-0938-9070","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0938-9070","contributorId":192556,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Binley","given":"Andrew","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":696819,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6},{"text":"Lane, John W.

The Puaiohi (</span><i class=\"EmphasisTypeItalic \">Myadestes palmeri</i><span>) is a cryptic species endemic to Kauaʻi, Hawai‘i, and restricted to high elevation ravines that are largely inaccessible. To improve current population estimates, we developed an approach to model distribution and abundance of Puaiohi across their range by linking occupancy surveys to habitat characteristics, territory density, and landscape attributes. Occupancy per station ranged from 0.17 to 0.82, and was best predicted by the number and vertical extent of cliffs, cliff slope, stream width, and elevation. To link occupancy estimates with abundance, we used territory mapping data to estimate the average number of territories per survey station (0.44 and 0.66 territories per station in low and high occupancy streams, respectively), and the average number of individuals per territory (1.9). We then modeled Puaiohi occupancy as a function of two remote-sensed measures of habitat (stream sinuosity and elevation) to predict occupancy across its entire range. We combined predicted occupancy with estimates of birds per station to produce a global population estimate of 494 (95% CI 414–580) individuals. Our approach is a model for using multiple independent sources of information to accurately track population trends, and we discuss future directions for modeling abundance of this, and other, rare species.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Springer","doi":"10.1007/s10531-017-1313-0","usgsCitation":"Crampton, L.H., Brinck, K.W., Pias, K.E., Heindl, B.A., Savre, T., Diegmann, J.S., and Paxton, E., 2017, Linking occupancy surveys with habitat characteristics to estimate abundance and distribution in an endangered cryptic bird: Biodiversity and Conservation, v. 26, no. 7, p. 1525-1539, https://doi.org/10.1007/s10531-017-1313-0.","productDescription":"15 p.","startPage":"1525","endPage":"1539","ipdsId":"IP-079988","costCenters":[{"id":521,"text":"Pacific Island Ecosystems Research Center","active":false,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":341967,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"26","issue":"7","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":14,"text":"Menlo Park PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2017-02-17","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"592fd630e4b0e9bd0ea8968a","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Crampton, Lisa H.","contributorId":192559,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Crampton","given":"Lisa","email":"","middleInitial":"H.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":696837,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Brinck, Kevin W. 0000-0001-7581-2482 kbrinck@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7581-2482","contributorId":150936,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Brinck","given":"Kevin","email":"kbrinck@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"W.","affiliations":[{"id":13351,"text":"University of Hawaii Cooperative Studies Unit","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":696838,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Pias, Kyle E.","contributorId":192560,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Pias","given":"Kyle","email":"","middleInitial":"E.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":696839,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Heindl, Barbara A.

Following introduction into the United States in the mid-1980s, PPMV-1 rapidly spread causing numerous mortality events in Eurasian collared-doves (</span><i>Streptopelia decaocto</i><span>) (ECDOs) and rock pigeons (</span><i>Columba livia</i><span>) (ROPIs). The investigators reviewed pathological findings of 70 naturally infected, free-ranging columbiforms from 25 different mortality events in the United States. Immunohistochemistry targeting PPMV-1 nucleoprotein was used to determine the tissue distribution of the virus in a subset of 17 birds from 10 of the studied outbreaks. ECDOs (61 birds) and ROPIs (9 birds) were the only species in which PPMV-1-associated disease was confirmed by viral isolation and presence of histologic lesions. Acute to subacute tubulointerstitial nephritis and necrotizing pancreatitis were the most frequent histologic lesions, with immunolabeling of viral antigen in renal tubular epithelial cells and pancreatic acinar epithelium. Lymphoid depletion of bursa of Fabricius and spleen was common, but the presence of viral antigen in these organs was inconsistent among infected birds. Hepatocellular necrosis was occasionally present with immunolabeling of hypertrophic Kupffer cells, and immunopositive eosinophilic intracytoplasmic inclusion bodies were present in hepatocytes of 1 ECDO. Immunopositive lymphocytic choroiditis was present in 1 ECDO, while lymphocytic meningoencephalitis was frequent in ROPIs in absence of immunolabeling. This study demonstrates widespread presence of PPMV-1 antigen in association with histologic lesions, confirming the lethal potential of this virus in these particular bird species.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"SAGE Journals","doi":"10.1177/0300985817695782","usgsCitation":"Isidoro Ayza, M., Afonso, C., Stanton, J., Knowles, S., Ip, S., White, C.L., Fenton, H., Ruder, M., Dolinski, A.C., and Lankton, J.S., 2017, Natural infections with pigeon paramyxovirus serotype 1: Pathologic changes in Eurasian collared-doves (Streptopelia decaocto) and rock pigeons (Columba livia) in the United States: Veterinary Pathology, v. 54, no. 4, p. 695-703, https://doi.org/10.1177/0300985817695782.","productDescription":"9 p., Data Release","startPage":"695","endPage":"703","ipdsId":"IP-077200","costCenters":[{"id":456,"text":"National Wildlife Health Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":469815,"rank":3,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1177/0300985817695782","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":341922,"rank":1,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":344168,"rank":2,"type":{"id":30,"text":"Data Release"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.5066/F7BR8R2B","text":"Natural infections with Pigeon Paramyxovirus-1: Pathologic changes in Eurasian collared-doves (Streptopelia decaocto) and rock pigeons (Columba livia) in the USA: Data","description":"Data Release"}],"volume":"54","issue":"4","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":6,"text":"Columbus PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2017-04-06","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"592fd635e4b0e9bd0ea896b0","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Isidoro Ayza, Marcos 0000-0002-9380-7254 misidoroayza@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9380-7254","contributorId":192509,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Isidoro Ayza","given":"Marcos","email":"misidoroayza@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":456,"text":"National Wildlife Health Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":696690,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Afonso, C.L.","contributorId":192510,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Afonso","given":"C.L.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":696691,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Stanton, J.B.","contributorId":192511,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Stanton","given":"J.B.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":696692,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Knowles, Susan 0000-0002-0254-6491 sknowles@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0254-6491","contributorId":5254,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Knowles","given":"Susan","email":"sknowles@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":456,"text":"National Wildlife Health Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":696695,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Ip, S. 0000-0003-4844-7533 hip@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4844-7533","contributorId":727,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Ip","given":"S.","email":"hip@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":456,"text":"National Wildlife Health Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":696697,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"White, C.
