Food habits of Yellow Perch, Smallmouth Bass, and Northern Pikeminnow in Lake Cascade, Idaho Food habits of Yellow Perch, Smallmouth Bass, and Northern Pikeminnow in Lake Cascade, Idaho
Objective Yellow Perch Perca flavescens was first encountered in Lake Cascade, Idaho, in 1957. Since its introduction, the abundance of Yellow Perch in Lake Cascade has been highly variable. Historically, declines in Yellow Perch abundance were attributed to predation by Northern Pikeminnow Ptychocheilus oregonensis. In the 1990s, Smallmouth Bass Micropterus dolomieu became established...

Hydroclimatic and land-use factors affecting peak streamflow in Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wisconsin Hydroclimatic and land-use factors affecting peak streamflow in Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wisconsin
Flood-frequency analysis provides the basis for flood risk estimates used by water-resource managers in land-use planning, and it informs the design of essential infrastructure such as bridges and culverts. Federal guidelines for flood-frequency analysis do not offer guidance on addressing changing climate and land-use conditions when estimating floods. However, failing to consider...

Stable isotope reference materials and scale definitions – Outcomes of the 2024 IAEA experts meeting Stable isotope reference materials and scale definitions – Outcomes of the 2024 IAEA experts meeting
The participants of the 12th International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) meeting on stable isotope reference materials reached a consensus, acknowledging the existence and use of two carbon isotope delta scales: the VPDB (Vienna Peedee belemnite) scale and the VPDB-LSVEC (LSVEC - lithium carbonate prepared by H. J. Svec). Conversion models between the two scales can be established and used...

The influence of human presence and footprint on animal space use in US national parks The influence of human presence and footprint on animal space use in US national parks
Given the importance of protected areas for biodiversity, the growth of visitation to many areas has raised concerns about the effects of humans on wildlife. In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic led to temporary closure of national parks in the United States, offering a pseudonatural experiment to tease apart the effects of permanent infrastructure and transient human presence on animals. We...

Toward a near-lossless image compression strategy for the NASA/USGS Landsat Next mission Toward a near-lossless image compression strategy for the NASA/USGS Landsat Next mission
As orbiting Earth imaging platforms carry more complex and capable instruments, efficient methods are needed to reduce the time and cost associated with storing and downlinking greater volumes of image data. The upcoming NASA/USGS Landsat Next mission, with an increase in spatial and spectral resolution over previous Landsat missions, is no exception. Landsat Next will produce nearly six...

Land-based nutrient flux to a fringing reef: Insights from Ofu Island, American Samoa Land-based nutrient flux to a fringing reef: Insights from Ofu Island, American Samoa
Submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) is a critical driver of nutrient transport in coral reef ecosystems, shaping water quality, primary productivity, and overall reef health. This study quantifies SGD fluxes and associated nutrient dynamics in two reef flat pools within the Ofu Unit of the National Park of American Samoa: Papaloloa and Fatuana. A multi-method approach integrating...

Impact of land subsidence on housing sale values: Evidence from the San Joaquin Valley, California Impact of land subsidence on housing sale values: Evidence from the San Joaquin Valley, California
This study assesses the impact of land subsidence on housing sale values in the San Joaquin Valley, California. The study utilizes home sale transactions and vertical land-surface displacement data from Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar techniques. Using fine-scale fixed effects, matching, as well as a repeat-sales approach, our results indicate that land subsidence resulted in a...

Reaction kinetics and accelerant effects of sulfides in early mature hydrocarbon generation using hydrous pyrolysis Reaction kinetics and accelerant effects of sulfides in early mature hydrocarbon generation using hydrous pyrolysis
Hydrocarbon generation in organic-rich sediments is influenced by the molecular organic composition and relative abundance of associated minerals. Certain mineral-derived elements act as catalysts and reaction intermediaries, facilitating early-stage hydrocarbon formation in potential source rocks. This study investigated the role of sulfur contributed from pyrite as an accelerant in...

Environmental controls of suppressed fall crop productivity in an agrivoltaic solar array Environmental controls of suppressed fall crop productivity in an agrivoltaic solar array
Globally, agrivoltaics (AV) research has revealed how microclimates created by photovoltaic (PV) panels can be leveraged to promote reciprocal benefits for agricultural land use and PV energy generation. Yet, in regions of the United States where emissions reduction laws are likely to lead to greater PV development on croplands, empirical evaluation of such co-location remain under...

Regenerable membrane sensors for ultrasensitive nanoplastic quantification enabled by a data-driven Raman spectral processing algorithm Regenerable membrane sensors for ultrasensitive nanoplastic quantification enabled by a data-driven Raman spectral processing algorithm
The detection of nanoplastics (NPs) in complex natural water systems is hindered by matrix interferences and limitations in current analytical techniques. This study presents Pre_seg, a Raman spectral processing algorithm integrated with regenerable anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) membrane sensors, for ultrasensitive, rapid, and quantitative NP detection at the single-particle level. The AAO...

Larger larval sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) have longer survival times when exposed to the lampricide 3-trifluoromethyl-4-nitrophenol Larger larval sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) have longer survival times when exposed to the lampricide 3-trifluoromethyl-4-nitrophenol
Invasive sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) in the Laurentian Great Lakes have negatively impacted ecologically and economically important fishes for nearly a century. To mitigate these effects, the lampricide 3-trifluoromethyl-4-nitrophenol (TFM) is applied annually on a rotating basis to selected Great Lakes tributaries to kill larval lamprey before they become juveniles, out-migrate to...
