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...

wfrc.usgs.gov — The whole study, conducted at Fort Benning, Georgia, partially funded through the US Army, involves testing of water and soil quality, physical and biotic indicators of stress at both the population and community level. Anthropogenic stress in the present study comes from disturbance by vehicles, particularly tanks used in army training, and from More...

fl.biology.usgs.gov — The connection between fish habitat utilization, prey use, and fish movement patterns is not known in relation to available invertebrate prey resources in off-reef sites. Developing a better understanding of the habitat use, diet, and resource needs of benthic communities and their interactions with mobile fish and invertebrates is an important More...

www.lsc.usgs.gov — The primary goal of this study is to clarify how riparian zone and land use affect T. tubifex population density, lineage and myxosporidian parasite density and/or the ability of resident worms to become infected with M. cerebralis spores and to release infective spores. Preliminary results suggest that a deciduous riparian zone reduces the More...

www.nbii.gov — Natural resource managers face complex decisions that require a clear understanding of the status of wildlife populations and their habitats. Monitoring is key to making effective management decisions and evaluating the outcomes of those decisions. The goal of NRMP is to improve the accessibility of monitoring efforts to resource managers to aid More...

www.umesc.usgs.gov — Fingernail clams (Sphaeriidae) and mayflies (Ephemeroptera) are important food sources for fish and migrating waterfowl in the Upper Mississippi River (UMR). An empirical model is being tested to determine its ability to confidently identify preferred areas for fingernail clams in UMR Pools 7 and 8. The intended result of this model is to provide More...
