This plan establishes a framework for voluntary, network-based water temperature monitoring of salmon habitat in the Kodiak Archipelago, Alaska. The goals are to coordinate acquisition and availability of water temperature data that meets salmon management needs of cooperating organizations, meets statewide minimum data collection standards, and is publicly-accessible. The focus on monitoring water temperature of salmon habitat reflects recognition of its prominent influence on salmon at all life cycle stages; the importance of salmon to the economy and ecosystem of the archipelago; and the need to provide reliable time-series data to support development of proactive approaches to management of salmon in response...

Wind power is a promising clean energy technology that has grown rapidly in recent years (EIA 2013). In spite of its environmentally friendly reputation, industrial wind energy generation can have serious impacts on wildlife. Bat and bird collision fatality rates have been alarmingly high at some wind farms. Proper siting of wind facilities may help minimize collision impacts as the wind energy industry continues to grow. Bat and bird fatality rates vary greatly among sites; however, there is no reliable method for assessing collision risk prior to development. My goal was to develop a method for predicting fatality rates based on nocturnal activity patterns measured by ground-level recording of bat and bird calls....

To enhance communications and information exchange on landscape-level conservation efforts, the Great Northern LCC has developed an online resource directory containing descriptions of landscape initiatives and organizations that conduct conservation work within the Great Northern geographic area. The resource directory is a work in progress. The initial list for the Organizations Directory is comprised of organizations on the GNLCC Steering Committee. The Landscape Initiatives Directory displays projects and partnerships that contribute to landscape conservation or have stated landscape goals in the Great Northern area. A map of the initiatives is included.We welcome your suggestions and ideas. Iif you would like...

NorWeST stream temperature scenario maps were developed at a 1-kilometer resolution using spatial statistical stream network models. Stream temperature data used to fit the temperature model that created the scenario maps were screened using a consistent set of criteria to ensure the use of accurate temperature measurements.Application of these techniques in previous research has yielded accurate and unbiased stream temperature models and predictions (R2 ~ 0.90; RMSE < 1.0 ˚C; for more details, click here). Several versions of the temperature scenario maps can be downloaded as geospatial data that enable the display and querying of stream temperatures in ArcMap for all streams within a river basin.Model predicted...

The Wyoming Interagency Spatial Database & Online Management (WISDOM) System is a user-friendly tool allowing any interested individual to discover, consider, and assess Wyoming’s wildlife resources. WISDOM is intended to provide landscape-level information during the early stages of project planning. It does not replace or supersede site specific analysis with appropriate agencies. It should be used in concert with all available data and expertise to ensure project plans address wildlife and habitat conservation at all levels.

These photos were taken by the Washinton Natural Heritage Program in Summer, 2014 to support an Ecological Integrity Assessment project (https://www.sciencebase.gov/catalog/item/54ed0f13e4b02d776a68481b). Photos are taken of field sampling sites that were selected to assess ecological integrity. Methods can be found in the report. Each zipped folder contains several photo series that correspond to individual sites. Each site series starts with a photo of a field sheet with the site ID. This site ID can be linked to information in the field database (put link here when uploaded). Following that are 4 photos that correspond to the cardinal directions from that point, in order: North, East, South, West. This...

The Great Northern Landscape Conservation Cooperative (GNLCC) addresses landscape scale stressors across a large area of the northwest US and the Canadian west. The GNLCC supports several Partner Forums that span unique geographic sub-regions of the GNLCC (https://www.fws.gov/science/catalog).The Columbia Basin Partner Forum (CBPF) is the most recent Partner Forum to be convened. The CBPF will follow the overall guidance and operating principals of the GNLCC set forth in the GNLCC’s Strategic Conservation Framework, Science Plan, and other documents.The Columbia River Basin Partner Forum recently held a workshop with an aim to reestablish and re-energize the Partner Forum.

Sagebrush steppe ecosystems in the United States currently (2016) occur on only about one-half of their historical land area because of changes in land use, urban growth, and degradation of land, including invasions of non-native plants. The existence of many animal species depends on the existence of sagebrush steppe habitat. The greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) depends on large landscapes of intact habitat of sagebrush and perennial grasses for their existence. In addition, other sagebrush-obligate animals have similar requirements and restoration of landscapes for greater sage-grouse also will benefit these animals. Once sagebrush lands are degraded, they may require restoration actions to make...

As always, a variety of excellent work is being carried out across the Rocky Mountain landscape and we want to highlight some upcoming events, current projects, and relevant resources for Rocky Mountain Partner Forum members. Our partners are working on a slew of issues and building coalitions around watershed restoration, habitat connectivity, and species health to name but a few. Most of you are carrying out or are connected to much of this work, and we encourage you to reach out to folks involved in other projects that are of interest to you. We would love to feature your work through the Rocky Mountain Partner Forum newsletter and website so please get in touch!

Migration barriers and resulting habitat fragmentation are a major conservationconcern for freshwater fishes. Characterizing the swimming abilities of fish is vital forfishway design and identifying potential movement barriers. The objective of this studywas to assess the swimming performance of two of the most widely distributed prairiefishes, the large-bodied, large river sauger Sander Canadensis, and the small-bodied,small stream longnose dace Rhinichthys cataractae. Swimming performance for bothspecies was assessed using a variety of metrics (passage success, maximum ascentdistance, maximum sprint speed) in an open channel flume over a range of velocities(sauger, 51, 80, 93 cm/; dace, 39, 64, 78, and 90 cm/s),...

The concept of adaptive management provides a set of good business principles to guide strategic habitat conservation, but these principles are only useful if they are put into practice through a complimentary set of business operations. To that end, if conservation is going to be successful operating at landscape scales, the conservation community must start thinking and functioning like a conservation enterprise. Much more emphasis must be placed on developing and supporting business operations that facilitate the flow of information and other resources at landscape scales. Just like successful national and global businesses, we need to develop an information supply chain to support the communication, coordination,...

Estimates of nutrient loading to the Gulf of Mexico indicate that nine states within the Mississippi River Basin are responsible for approximately 75% of all nitrogen and phosphorus delivered to the Gulf. The Mississippi Basin also supports a rich assemblage of fish species; at least 25% of all species in the conterminous United States are found in the Basin. These assemblages reflect their habitats, human landscape disturbances, and fragmentation of the river network by dams. Climate also has close associations with aquatic habitat conditions and ultimately fish community composition. Climate change is anticipated to lead to additional changes in stream habitats, including changing thermal properties and flow regimes....
