nas.er.usgs.gov — This site has been established as a central repository for accurate and spatially referenced biogeographic accounts of nonindigenous aquatic species. The program provides scientific reports, online/realtime queries, spatial data sets, regional contact lists, and general information. The data is made available for use by biologists, interagency More...

www.fort.usgs.gov — The FORT research team will develop maps of invasive species at local, regional, and national scales and identify priority invasive species, vulnerable habitats, and pathways of invasion. County-level and point data on occurrence will be linked to plot-level and site-level information on species abundance and spread. Together, USGS, NASA, and CSU More...

soundwaves.usgs.gov — Kristen Hart and Keith Ludwig of the USGS Florida Integrated Science Center (FISC) participated in two research cruises in 2008 to study patterns of habitat use by endangered sea turtles in and around the National Park. Hart's research effort focuses on quantifying patterns of sea turtle habitat use, employing capture-recapture and satellite- and More...

www.umesc.usgs.gov — Zebra mussels have caused drastic declines in native clam and mussel populations in some locations. Zebra mussels compete with other invertebrates and young fish for plankton, the primary food source for these groups. UMESC scientists are investigating the effects zebra mussels are having on the riverine ecosystem. This study examines the effects More...

www.umesc.usgs.gov — Eurasian Ruffe pose a threat to native fish because they(1) mature quickly, (2) have a high reproductive capacity, and (3) easily adapt to new environments. Ruffe were first detected in western Lake Superior in 1986. UMESC scientists are conducting research on various types of piscicides (chemicals that kill fish). They are attempting to develop More...

wfrc.usgs.gov — Ballast water discharges are the most significant cause of aquatic biological invasions in coastal waters, including the Great Lakes. Currently, treatment of ballast water prior to discharge at the receiving port offers significant promise to help control this problem. However, development of treatment technologies is limited by lack of objective More...

www.werc.usgs.gov — Parasites can play a positive role in ecosystems. The USGS Western Ecological Research Center is working with the Channel Islands National Park in California to better understand how bacterial epidemics can protect kelp forests from overgrazing by sea urchins and how parasitic castrators might be used against invasive crabs. Researchers will More...

wfrc.usgs.gov — The general objective of this collaborative project is to investigate and improve habitat-based ecological modeling on large rivers. While many ecological aspects of large-river alteration have been investigated previously, there has been little emphasis on how alterations of physical habitat interact with life histories, biotic interactions, and More...

www.umesc.usgs.gov — Gobies are capable of rapid population growth after they reach new areas. They have shown the ability to out-compete native fish for food and habitat. Another area of concern involves potential predation on the eggs and fry of lake trout. After first being discovered in 1990 along the St. Claire River (a Canadian river north of Detroit), gobies More...
