www.npwrc.usgs.gov — This resource is a species profile of the purple loosestrife (Lythrum salicaria), which is considered an invasive plant species. Its displacement of native species in wetlands has led to the loss of suitable habitat for wildlife. L. salicaria is the only reddish-purple flowered plant to develop massive monospecific blocks of showy floral displays More...

fresc.usgs.gov — The National Park Service has stated that declining amphibian populations are the top priority for research in the National Park System. Salamanders are a native vertebrate predator in high-mountain lakes throughout the western US, especially in many small lakes naturally barren of fish. This issue overview demonstrates the potential for using More...
