www.umesc.usgs.gov — This web resource provides decision makers with the information needed to maintain the Upper Mississippi River System as a viable multiple-use large river ecosystem. This resource also includes Data and sampling information, publication links, reports, other related documents and statistics, as well as links to field stations and other projects More...
Publisher: USGS | Science Center: Fort Collins Science Center (FORT, Ft. Collins) | Format: URL
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...

fl.biology.usgs.gov — New nonindigenous fishes are introduced to the region's waters each year and already-established invasive fishes continually expand their ranges. Assessing the effects of a new invader on native species and environments is complicated by the fact that most habitats are under stress as a result of human disturbance and because many sites are More...

sbsc.wr.usgs.gov — The Internet Map Server (IMS) visually displays the non-native, invasive plants (weed) occurrences in the current (2003) SWEMP database. An IMS allows you to interactively draw, query, and print maps. The SWEMP IMS was developed from ESRI's ArcIMS presentation product.The Southwest Exotic Plant Information Clearinghouse is a cooperative effort More...

fresc.usgs.gov — Periodic fire is a natural part of sagebrush steppe ecosystems in the Great Basin. However, a suite of human-caused factors has dramatically changed fire regimes in many of these systems. Decades of fire suppression and livestock grazing have produced dense, single-aged sagebrush stands and invasion by cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum) has increased More...

fl.biology.usgs.gov — The red shiner (Cyprinella lutrensis) is a hardy, widespread minnow native to the middle and southwestern United States and Mexico. Its native range encompasses the lowland tributaries of the Mississippi River and western Gulf slope drainages to the Rio Grande River. The red shiner peripherally occurs in the southeastern United States, inhabiting 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...
