FY2017There is an increasing concern and need for the conservation of springsnails and other endemic mollusks and for conservation of the unique spring and springbrook habitats on which they depend (Hershler et al 2014; Abele 2011). Nationwide, several of these species have been listed as endangered or threatened under provisions of the ESA; others are candidates for federal listing or are undergoing review by USFWS for possible future listing actions. These species can be particularly susceptible to localized threats and specific knowledge necessary for effective site-based conservation is often limited or lacking.Springsnail are particularly susceptible to extinction because the entire population of any single...
The Conservation Planning Atlas (CPA) was created to help fulfill the mission of the NALCC and to create a common platform and communication method for the partnership. The CPA is a science-based mapping platform where conservation managers and LCC members can go to view, retrieve, and perform analyses on spatial information with specific conservation goals in mind. Data can be searched, viewed, and used in analyses. Users can upload their own data to a private account to be used in conjunction with these datasets.

We analyzed the chemical composition of wood produced by Māmane, a tropical tree growing in Hawai’i, in order to reconstruct changes in climate over the Hawaiian Islands. Specifically, we measured changes in the relative abundance of carbon and oxygen isotopes taken up by the trees during photosynthesis at high elevation sites on Mauna Kea. We found that these isotopes reflect the climatic conditions (precipitation and temperature) under which the trees lived, allowing us to reconstruct relative changes in climate extending back ~130 years. Our results indicate decadal-scale changes in precipitation that correlate well with large-scale atmospheric and ocean circulation patterns that dominate much of the Pacific....
This project will supply data to support various components of the Southeast Conservation Adaptation Strategy’s (SECAS) Southeast Conservation Blueprint (Blueprint). SARP routinely compiles data, analyzes, and priorities aquatic barriers and all areas covered by the Blueprint except for West Virginia and the US Virgin Islands. These data and subsequent analyses are utilized by SECAS to derive a network complexity indicator. This project will enable SARP to provide a more complete assessment for West Virginia to make it more comparable to the rest of the Southeast. Additionally, SARP will provide barrier information for the US Virgin Islands so that SECAS can expand the network complexity analysis to the Caribbean...
The Qawalangin Tribe of Unalaska (QTU), a federally recognized sovereign nation located in the Aleutian Chain, Alaska,relies on a subsistence lifestyle for food security, traditional and cultural values, and economic benefits. However,subsistence foods and public health is currently at risk due to the confirmed detection of the Avian Influenza (HPAI) in redfox and eagles from Unalaska. Given that Alaska has been identified as a point of entry for Asian-origin influenza virusesinto North America, which has resulted in at least one fatality, zoonotic exposure to avian-origin influenza viruses is animportant human health concern. QTU plans to develop a team with tribal, city, Ounalashka Corporation, and state andfederal...
The people of the Lummi Nation are strongly connected to their cultural and traditional foods, including animals, berries, birds, fish, plants, and shellfish that physically and spiritually sustain them as people. Disease spread amongst these important wildlife species is a direct threat to the Lummi Community, their way of life, and their goal to maintain and defend treaty rights, including hunting and fishing within traditional hunting and gathering areas. The Wildlife Division was recently added to the Lummi Natural Resources (LNR) Department with the goal of further defending and protecting treaty rights related to wildlife, hunting, and gathering. In order to properly manage wildlife amongst current and future...

We developed multi-scale habitat suitability models for black-tailed prairie dogs (BTPD) in the southwestern Great Plains, corresponding to the western region of the Great Plains LCC. We used long-term (10-yr), high-resolution datasets on BTPD colony boundary locations collected at 7 study areas distributed across the region to develop resource selection functions based on colony locations and expansion patterns. Models are based on (1) soil maps and associated Ecological Sites (NRCS SSURGO database), (2) a topographic wetness index based upon water runoff and solar insolation patterns (TWIsi) that tests a priori hypotheses for topographic controls on BTPD, and (3) broad climatic gradients in temperature and mean...
