Amphibians and reptiles are experiencing severe habitat loss throughout North America; however, this threat to biodiversity can be mitigated by identifying and managing areas that serve a disproportionate role in sustaining herpetofauna. Identification of such areas must take into consideration the dynamic nature of habitat suitability. As climate rapidly changes it is possible that areas currently deemed suitable may no longer be so in the future. To address these needs, we are proposing to generate spatially-explicit data that will (1) identify Priority Amphibian and Reptile Conservation Areas (PARCAs) – those discrete areas most vital to maintaining reptile and amphibian diversity, (2) project regions of current...

Report on advanced technology in mobile rearing to evaluate how different water sources support growth and survival of young freshwater mussels. A mobile aquatic rearing station, or MARS, was deployed along the banks of the Mississippi River in Wisconsin in the summer of 2012 to raise rare and endangered mussel species, including Higgins’ eye pearlymussel, hickorynut, black sandshell and snuffbox. Information gathered will provide a knowledge base for the operation of the trailer moving forward, and will help ultimately optimize rearing techniques in light of expanding natural resource stressors to increase early life stage survival of these ecologically-essential freshwater animals.

Desert LCC Base Maps and Data describe the physical and cultural geography of the Desert Landscape Conservation Cooperative. These products include the Desert LCC vector boundary available as a shapefile and KML, as well as print-quality graphic design files for thematic maps including Watersheds, Land Cover, Vegetation and a Base Map. The scale of the maps is 1:2,500,000. About the Desert LCC Region: Forty percent of the Desert LCC area lies in the United States and the remaining 60 percent, in Mexico. The total DLCC area is 536,955 square miles or 1,390,713 square kilometers. To explore data per Desert LCC priorities, visit the Conservation Planning Atlas.

This is a collaborative project between the National Park Service (NPS) and the University of Washington to use new satellite data to assess changes in several glaciers in North Cascades National Park (NOCA). Recent investigations have shown that the glaciers in the Washington Cascades are retreating rapidly in a warming climate. NPS has monitoring data from four glaciers at NOCA. These data will be analyzed with new WorldView stereo satellite data to produce digital elevation models (DEMs) with high accuracy for four NOCA glaciers, and to calculate volume changes in these glaciers. Expected products include four DEMs with auxiliary products (e.g., image data) and a final report that describes the methods and detected...

QuestionHow to help extension forestry and PNW deliver Global Climate Change information in the future?ObjectivesDetermine the perceptions, understanding, and educational needs of private forest landowners in the Pacific and Inland Northwest regarding the impacts of global climate change (GCC) on western forests, and enhance their understanding and awareness of the potential impacts of GCC on ecosystem functions on their own forests such as stream flows, fire regimes, wildlife habitat, and vegetation changesImpactsFamily forest owners will be better prepared for of global climate change.AbstractFamily forest landowners control over 40% of the nation’s forestland. In the PNW privately owned family forest lands are...
This is a collaborative project between the National Park Service (NPS) and Oregon State University (OSU) for the purpose of studying the genetic connectivity of pika populations in five NPS units. OSU researchers will use individual and population-based genetic analyses to systematically estimate genetic distances among individuals and gene flow among patches or populations in NPS units in two very different habitats (talus vs. lava beds). Genetic distances among individuals or gene flow among groups reflect (in part) the degree that individuals are related and that populations are interacting via dispersal. Thus, researchers will use variation in genetic distance or gene flow to infer how landscapes (e.g., dispersal...
