2010, Open-File Report 2009-1296
In 1991, the U.S. Congress established the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) National Water-Quality Assessment (NAWQA) Program to develop long-term, nationally consistent information on the quality of the Nation's streams and groundwater. Congress recognized the critical need for this information to support scientifically sound management, regulatory, and policy decisions concerning...
Glacier microseismicity
Michael E. West, Christopher F. Larsen, Martin Truffer, Shad O’Neel, Laura LeBlanc
2010, Geology (38) 319-322
We present a framework for interpreting small glacier seismic events based on data collected near the center of Bering Glacier, Alaska, in spring 2007. We find extremely high microseismicity rates (as many as tens of events per minute) occurring largely within a few kilometers of the receivers. A high-frequency class...

2010, Ursus (21) 109-114
Although brown bears (Ursus arctos) are rare in the Himalayan region, populations have been documented in alpine habitats of Pakistan and India. Brown bears were once known to exist in both Nepal and Bhutan, but current information on their numbers and distributions was lacking. We document the presence of brown...
Reproductive isolation and the expansion of an invasive hybrid swarm
Michael J. Blum, David M. Walters, Noel M. Burkhead, Byron J. Freeman, Brady A. Porter
2010, Biological Invasions (12) 2825-2836
Biological invasions involving hybridization proceed according to prezygotic and postzygotic reproductive isolating mechanisms. Yet few comparisons of reproductive isolation have been carried out to understand how different mechanisms prevent or promote invasions involving hybridization. Here we present a study of prezygotic and postzygotic isolation between non-native red shiner (Cyprinella lutrensis)...

A record of phosphorus dynamics in oligotrophic lake sediment
Tiffany A. Wilson, Aria Amirbahman, Stephen A. Norton, Mary A. Voytek
2010, Journal of Paleolimnology (44) 279-294
Historical phosphorus (P) dynamics were studied using sediment cores from three oligotrophic, acidic lakes in Maine, USA. Long-term oligotrophy of these lakes is consistent with high sediment aluminum (as Al(OH)3) concentrations, as Al inhibits internal P loading, even under reducing conditions. The role of microbially-mediated reactions in controlling redox conditions...
