sofia.usgs.gov — This project uses data on detection of amphibian species after repeated sampling at a site to estimate the occupancy rate of various amphibian species (MacKenzie et al., 2002). Declines in amphibian populations have been documented for many regions and habitat types worldwide (Alford and Richards, 1999). No single cause for declines has been More...

fl.biology.usgs.gov — The African jewelfish (Hemichromis letourneuxi) has been established in canals surrounding the Miami area since the 1960s. With changes in water delivery to the park, the species has recently (2000) entered Everglades National Park and expanded its range westward through Big Cypress National Preserve. Simultaneously, African jewelfish from a More...

wfrc.usgs.gov — Threatened and endangered salmonids in the Pacific Northwest often use backwaters and wetlands as they migrate toward the ocean, however our understanding of the role of wetlands to juvenile salmonids is limited. The major Objective of this study was to determine whether juvenile steelhead were being tapped on the wetland during spring, and More...

fisc.er.usgs.gov — A dozen species of non-indigenous fishes have colonized the wetlands of south Florida. Information relating to their biology, ecology, and environmental tolerances has been accumulating, but data gaps remain for several common species. These data are needed to understand and model the ultimate range expansion, habitat occupation and dynamics of More...

www.lsc.usgs.gov — Freshwater mussels are declining rapidly in response to habitat degradation associated with anthropogenic changes. Williams et. al. (1993) reported that 213 of the 297 recognized taxa are considered endangered, threatened, or of special concern. There is a documented need for BRD centers to provide guidance on freshwater mussel ecology in general, More...

fl.biology.usgs.gov — Smaller than the length of a fingertip, the amphibious Glossostigma cleistanthum (L.) Kuntze (Scrophulariaceae) is not your typical "aquatic invader". The tiny plant has been found at reservoirs and millponds spanning north central New Jersey and extending into southeastern Pennsylvania. In its native, eastern hemisphere range (including New More...

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...

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.fort.usgs.gov — Natural Resource Monitoring Partnership (NRMP) is a collaborative effort by the natural resource management community to improve monitoring efforts in order to support effective evaluation and decision-making by sharing information on monitoring projects and protocols. The Natural Resource Monitoring Partnership was built for easy access to More...

alaska.usgs.gov — This web resource provides information concerning the on-going Research at the USGS Alaska Science Center on birds and avian influenza (bird flu). The site links to quick facts, on-going research, workshop results, monitoring and surveillance, guidelines on how to safeguard against avian influenza, publications and reports, migratory bird More...

wfrc.usgs.gov — Aquatic environments have been highly altered in California's Central Valley due to changes in hydrology caused by human development. The purpose of this study is to better understand the extent to which the Grassland Bypass Project (GBP) in the Central Valley of California has altered environmental conditions for fishes in Salt and Mud sloughs More...

fl.biology.usgs.gov — A dozen species of non-indigenous fishes have colonized the wetlands of south Florida. Although some of these species continue to spread geographically, others remain local. Data are needed to understand and model the ultimate range expansion, habitat occupation and dynamics of non-native fishes, and are particularly important for risk More...
