Wilder, Benjamin T; Amanda T. Becker, Adrian Munguia-Vega, Melanie Culver. 2021. Tracking the desert's edge with a Pleistocene relict. Journal of Arid Environments, DOI.org/10.1016/j.jaidenv.2021.104653 \| Abstract	October 2021	A series of 900–1200 m desert peaks surrounded by arid lowlands occur throughout the southwestern U.S. and northwestern Mexico where temperate affiliated species occur at highest elevations. The presence of disjunct long-lived plant taxa on under-explored summits, especially Isla Tiburón at 29º latitude in the Gulf of California, suggests a more southerly extent of Ice Age woodlands than previously understood. The phylogeography of the desert edge species <i>Canotia holacantha</i> (Celastraceae) was investigated to test the hypothesis that insular desert peak populations represent remnants of Pleistocene woodlands rather than recent dispersal events. Sequences of four chloroplast DNA regions totaling 2,032 bp were amplified from 74 individuals of 14 populations across the entire range of <i>C. holacantha</i> as well as nine individuals that represented the other two species in its clade (<i>C. wendtii</i> and <i>Acanthothamnus aphyllus</i>) and two outgroups. Results suggest that a <i>Canotia</i> common ancestor occurred on the landscape, which underwent a population contraction ca. 15 kya. The Isla Tiburón <i>C. holacantha</i> population and the Chihuahuan Desert microendemic <i>C. wendtii</i>have the greatest genetic differentiation, are sister to one another, and basal to all other <i>Canotia</i> populations. Three haplotypes within <i>C. holacantha</i> were recovered, which correspond to regional geography and thus identified as the Arizona, Sonora, and Tiburón haplotypes, within which <i>Acanthothamnus aphyllus</i> is nested rather than as a related genus. These results indicate a once broad distribution of <i>Canotia </i>/<i> Acanthothamnus</i> during the Pleistocene, now present in relict populations on the fringes of the southern desert, in the Chihuahuan Desert, with scattered populations on desert peaks and a common or abundant distribution at the norther ecotone of the Sonoran Desert. These results suggest <i>Canotia</i> has tracked the shift of the desert’s edge both in latitude and elevation since the end of the last Ice Age.

Viruses, 12(9), 1027; https://doi.org/10.3390/v12091027 \| Abstract \| Publisher Website	September 2020	Sonoran felids are threatened by drought and habitat fragmentation. Vector range expansion and anthropogenic factors such as habitat encroachment and climate change are altering viral evolutionary dynamics and exposure. However, little is known about the diversity of viruses present in these populations. Small felid populations with lower genetic diversity are likely to be most threatened with extinction by emerging diseases, as with other selective pressures, due to having less adaptive potential. We used a metagenomic approach to identify novel circoviruses, which may have a negative impact on the population viability, from confirmed bobcat (Lynx rufus) and puma (Puma concolor) scats collected in Sonora, Mexico. Given some circoviruses are known to cause disease in their hosts, such as porcine and avian circoviruses, we took a non-invasive approach using scat to identify circoviruses in free-roaming bobcats and puma. Three circovirus genomes were determined, and, based on the current species demarcation, they represent two novel species. Phylogenetic analyses reveal that one circovirus species is more closely related to rodent associated circoviruses and the other to bat associated circoviruses, sharing highest genome-wide pairwise identity of approximately 70% and 63%, respectively. At this time, it is unknown whether these scat-derived circoviruses infect felids, their prey, or another organism that might have had contact with the scat in the environment. Further studies should be conducted to elucidate the host of these viruses and assess health impacts in felids

Journal of Heredity, in review. \| Abstract	February 2022	Genetic admixture is a biological event inherent to genetic rescue programs aimed at the long-term conservation of endangered wildlife. Although the success of such programs can be measured by the increase in genetic diversity and fitness of subsequent admixed individuals, little is known about the fine-scale costs of admixture at the molecular level. In this study, we analyzed nonsynonymous variation from conserved genes to quantify and compare mutation load levels (i.e., proportion of deleterious alleles and genotypes carrying these alleles) among endangered Florida panthers with different genetic backgrounds and non-endangered Texas pumas. Specifically, we used canonical (i.e., non-admixed) Florida panthers, Texas pumas, and F<sub>1</sub> (canonical Florida x Texas) panthers dating from a genetic rescue program, including Florida panthers with Central American ancestry resulting from an earlier admixture event. We found genetic drift had no significant effect in reducing overall proportions of deleterious alleles in the severely bottlenecked canonical Florida panthers. Furthermore, these deleterious alleles were distributed into a disproportionately high number of homozygous genotypes due to close inbreeding and inefficient purifying selection in this group. Conversely, admixed Florida panthers (either with Texas or Central American ancestry) presented reduced levels of homozygous genotypes carrying deleterious alleles but increased levels of heterozygous genotypes carrying these variants. Although admixture is likely to alleviate the load of standing deleterious variation present in homozygous genotypes, our results highlight concerns that introduced novel deleterious alleles (temporarily present in heterozygous state) could potentially be expressed in subsequent generations of rescued populations if their effective sizes remain small.

European Journal of Wildlife Management, DOI: 10.1007/s10344-011-0528-8 \| Abstract	April 2011	Spatial and temporal interactions among individual members of populations can have direct applications to habitat management of mountain lions. Our objectives were to evaluate home range overlap and spatial/temporal use of overlap zones (OZ) of mountain lions (Puma concolor) in Arizona. We incorporated spatial data with genetic analyses to assess relatedness between mountain lions with overlapping home ranges. We recorded the space use patterns of 29 radio-collared mountain lions in Arizona from August 2005 to August 2008. We genotyped 28 mountain lions and estimated the degree of relatedness among individuals. For 26 pairs of temporally overlapping mountain lions, 18 overlapped spatially and temporally and 8 had corresponding genetic information. Home range overlap ranged from 1.18-46.38% ( = 24.43, SE = 2.96). Male-male pairs were located within 1 km of each other on average, 0.04% of the time, whereas male-female pairs, on average were 3.0%. Two male-male pairs exhibited symmetrical spatial avoidance and 2 symmetrical spatial attractions to the OZ. We observed simultaneous temporal attraction in 3 male-male pairs and 4 male-female pairs. Individuals from Tucson were slightly related to one another within the population (n = 13, mean R = 0.0373 ± 0.0151) whereas lions from Payson (n = 6, mean R = -0.0079 ± 0.0356) and Prescott (n = 9, mean R = -0.0242 ± 0.0452) were not as related. Overall, males were less related to other males (n = 20, mean R = -0.0495 ± 0.0161) than females were related to other females (n = 8, mean R = 0.0015 ± 0.0839). Genetic distance was positively correlated with geographic distance (r2 = 0.22, P = 0.001). Spatial requirements and interactions influence social behavior and can play a role in determining population density.

Complex evolutionary history of felid anelloviruses. Virology, 562:176-189 \| Abstract	July 2021	Anellovirus infections are highly prevalent in mammals but prior to this study only a handful of anellovirus genomes had been identified in members of the Felidae family. Here characterise anelloviruses in pumas (<i>Puma concolor</i>), bobcats (<i>Lynx rufus</i>), Canada lynx (<i>Lynx canadensis</i>), caracals (<i>Caracal caracal</i>) and domestic cats (<i>Felis catus</i>). The complete anellovirus genomes (n=220) recovered from 149 individuals were diverse. ORF1 protein sequence similarity network analyses coupled with phylogenetic analyses, revealed two distinct clusters that are populated by felid-derived anellovirus sequences, a pattern mirroring that observed for the porcine anelloviruses. Of the two-felid dominant anellovirus groups, one includes sequences from bobcats, pumas, domestic cats and an ocelot, and the other includes sequences from caracals, Canada lynx, domestic cats and pumas. Coinfections of diverse anelloviruses appear to be common among the felids. Evidence of recombination, both within and between felid-specific anellovirus groups, supports a long coevolution history between host and virus.

Landscape and Urban Planning 229:104582. \| Abstract \| Publisher Website	October 2022	With future human population growth concentrating in urban areas, cities are working to counterbalance ecological disturbances resulting from development by incorporating green space that supports greater biodiversity. An initial line of inquiry into designing wildlife-inclusive green space involves evaluating landscapes that are associated with the habitat use of urban species. In this study, we utilized occupancy modeling to estimate select terrestrial mammal presence in a fast-growing mid-sized midwestern city to determine possible taxa-specific associations with multiple land use and cover variables, specifically those associated with higher degrees of human activity. Using motion-triggered infrared trail cameras over eight seasons from winter 2017 to fall 2018, we applied a single-species, single-season stacked design to estimate occupancy for eight urban dwelling mammals. Taxa-specific models contained one of three possible detection variables (null, percent green space, or percent impervious surface) and combinations of three species-specific variables, natural and anthropogenic. We hypothesized that large species, coyote (Canis latrans) and white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), would exhibit the most positive association to natural land cover and the most negative association to anthropogenic land cover. We also hypothesized that small and medium sized species, eastern cottontail (Sylvilagus floridanus), gray squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis), opossum (Didelphis virginiana), raccoon (Procyon lotor), red fox (Vulpes vulpes), and striped skunk (Mephitis mephitis), would demonstrate a neutral association to land cover type, anthropogenic or natural. Our results indicated that the presence of anthropogenic features rather than any particular natural landcover may be driving wildlife distribution in our study area, as none of our species demonstrated a positive association to natural land cover (percent recreation, residential yards, vacant land, or woodland). Species with a wide range of body sizes, showed a negative association with residential yards, indicating that this type of green space may be an unnecessary or unsuitable subsidizing resource in our study area. With our results in mind, we recommend increasing the amount of natural or less manicured green space to offset the intensity of impervious surface as well as encouraging the establishment of native vegetation in existing and newly con-structed residential development to better connect urban green space and residential yards to larger adjoining tracts of natural landscapes. For our study area and other cities in similar phases of development, these suggestions may be essential first steps to reduce biodiversity loss and strengthen community ecology as urban areas continue to grow.

Wildlife Management, https://doi.org/10.1002/jwmg.21810 \| Abstract	January 2020	Endangered Sonoran (<i>Antilocapra americana sonoriensis</i>) and Peninsular (<i>A. a. peninsularis</i>) pronghorn persist largely because of captive breeding and reintroduction efforts. Recovery team managers want to re‐establish pronghorn in their native range, but there is currently uncertainty regarding the subspecies status of extinct pronghorn populations that historically inhabited southern California, USA, and northern Baja California, Mexico. To address this uncertainty, we genotyped museum specimens and conducted phylogenetic and population genetic analyses of historical data in the context of 3 contemporary pronghorn populations. The historical northern Baja California pronghorn share the most ancestry with contemporary Peninsular pronghorn, whereas pronghorn in southern California share more ancestry with contemporary American (<i>A. a. americana</i>) pronghorn. For reintroductions into northern Baja California, the Peninsular subspecies is more appropriate based on museum genetic data. For reintroductions into Southern California, ecological and genetic factors are both important, as the subspecies most genetically related to historical populations (American) may not be well‐adapted to the hot, low‐elevation deserts of the reintroduction area.

Accounting for geographic variation in habitat associations during habitat suitability and connectivity modeling: A case study with the imperiled eastern indigo snake. Ecological Applications 2022:e2504. \| Abstract \| Publisher Website	January 2022	Range-wide species conservation efforts are facilitated by spatially explicit esti-mates of habitat suitability. However, species-environment relationships oftenvary geographically and models assuming geographically constant relation-ships may result in misleading inferences. We present the first range-wide hab-itat suitability model (HSM) for the federally threatened eastern indigo snake(Drymarchon couperi) as a case study illustrating an approach to account forknown latitudinal variation in habitat associations. Specifically, we modeledhabitat suitability using interactive relationships between minimum wintertemperature and several a priori environmental covariates and compared ourresults to those from models assuming geographically constant relationships. Wefound that multi-scale models including interactive effects with winter tempera-ture outperformed single-scale models and models not including interactiveeffects with winter temperature. Our top-ranked model had suitable range-widepredictive performance and identified numerous large (i.e.,≥1000 ha) potentialhabitat patches throughout the indigo snake range. Predictive performance wasgreatest in southern Georgia and northernFlorida likely reflecting more restric-tive indigo snake habitat associations inthese regions. This study illustrates howmodeling interactive effects between temperature and environmental covariatescan improve the performance of HSMs across geographically varying environ-mental gradients.

Herpetologica 78:161-168. \| Abstract \| Publisher Website	September 2022	Translocation is increasingly used to move animals of conservation concern away from sites where habitat will be destroyed(mitigation translocation), but outcomes have rarely been adequately monitored, particularly for amphibians. We used radio telemetry monitoring to assess survival and movement of 23 experimentally translocated, adult Gopher Frogs (<i>Lithobates capito</i>) at a recipient site in north-central Florida, USA. Although post-translocation monitoring was our primary goal, we also compared our results with those of 24 nontranslocated frogs that were monitored in three previous efforts, conducted at different locations and times. For both translocated and nontranslocated frogs, movement was the most important predictor of mortality, with translocated frogs having a significantly higher probability of movement and higher mortality during the first month following release. However, there was no effect of translocation on survival after controlling for probability of movement because movement was dangerous for both translocated and nontranslocated frogs. Movement by translocated frogs was likely a behavioral response to the translocation experience, whereas movement by nontranslocated frogs was associated with breeding pond visitation, which was not observed within the translocated group. Survival was high for both groups once they settled into underground refugia and movement declined. Despite the comparatively high mortality of translocated frogs immediately following release, more than half survived to the end of monitoring and remained in the vicinity of the release site, meeting an early benchmark of translocation success.

Animal Conservation 24:820-831. https://doi.org/10.1111/acv.12684 \| Abstract \| Publisher Website	October 2021	Effective mitigation of human–wildlife conflict should aim to reduce conflicts while also minimizing wildlife mortality. Translocation is often used to mitigate human–wildlife conflict but translocated individuals may have reduced survival, which could negatively affect population growth and social acceptance of translocation as a management tool. Yet, non-translocated nuisance individuals may also have low survival due to inherent risks associated with nuisance behavior. We used a 38-year dataset of 1233 marked and translocated nuisance American black bears (<i>Ursus americanus</i>) as a model system with which to evaluate the impacts of translocation on nuisance bear survival. We used multi-state mark-recapture models to estimate annual harvest and non-harvest mortality rates and tested for effects of translocation distance and harvest rate on recapture and both mortality rates. Recapture probability increased with translocation distance but 75% of translocated bears were translocated ≤75 km and recapture probabilities were <0.05 across these distances. Survival was 0.43 for adult males, 0.56 for adult females, and 0.38–0.40 for yearlings. However, increasing translocation distance reduced both harvest and non-harvest mortality (β = −0.0044, 95% CI = −0.0081 to −0.0006 and β = −0.0020, 95% CI = −0.0051 to 0.0011, respectively) showing that increasing translocation distance does not negatively impact survival. Our survival estimates were generally lower than those reported for non-nuisance American black bear populations (0.67–0.83), which likely reflects risks associated with nuisance behavior, such as proximity to human dwellings, agriculture, or roads which in turn may increase harvest and/or road mortality. Our results show that translocation is a useful approach for mitigating human–bear conflict that does not always negatively affect survival. Lower survival of nuisance bears suggests that biologists should focus efforts on reducing the incidences of human–wildlife conflicts (e.g., removing anthropogenic food sources).

Biodiversity and Conservation 30:3529-3547. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10531-021-02259-8 \| Abstract \| Publisher Website	October 2021	Indices of relative abundance are routinely used to monitor and manage wildlife, yet all indices contain observation error and have unknown relationships with true abundance. State-space models (SSM) allow estimation of observation error while concordance in trends among multiple indices from different sampling methods may reflect true trends in abundance. We used multiple decades of data from roadkill surveys, nocturnal spotlight surveys, and observations from hunters along with trapper harvest data for six mesopredators in Illinois, USA, to evaluate concordance (i.e., similarity in trend direction and magnitude) across count- and harvest-based indices, while controlling for observation error using Bayesian SSM. We assumed that increased concordance among trends from different sampling methods would increasingly mirror trends in true abundance. We observed positive trends for raccoon and coyote, negative trends for gray and red fox, and stable trends for skunk, consistent with spatiotemporal patterns of distribution and abundance of these species within midwestern USA. Concordance among count-based indices and harvest-based indices adjusted for temporal changes in trapper numbers was generally high. In contrast, total annual trapper harvest often showed discordance with other trends. Sampling variability was similar across methods but was highest across the shortest time series highlighting the importance of methodologically or analytically controlling for sampling variability. Our results suggest that concordant broad-scale (e.g., statewide) trends in index data may be best used for evaluating relatively general trends and using relatively drastic changes as justification for more in-depth studies.

Biodiversity and Conservation. \| Abstract \| Publisher Website	September 2022	Interspecific interactions among predators can shape ecological communities across trophic levels, including among predator guilds. The strength and directions of these interactions, however, may vary spatially and temporally in regions undergoing widespread landscape changes (e.g., urbanization, agricultural production). We investigated intraguild effects of coyotes (<i>Canis latrans</i>), a de facto apex predator, and land-cover changes on abundance indices of red foxes (<i>Vulpes vulpes</i>) and gray foxes (<i>Urocyon cinereoargenteus</i>) using two long-term and independent time series: direct observations of canids by archery deer hunters (26 years) and harvest data from canid trappers (41 years) from across Illinois, USA. Abundance indices from both time series for red and gray foxes declined whereas coyote abundance indices increased, suggesting increasing coyote abundance may have led to decreases in fox population abundances. Empirical support among candidate models explaining fox declines was generally equivocal yet differed between fox species. Models including effects of coyote abundance were generally competitive for red foxes and estimated negative coyote effects even after controlling for declining farm size. The empirical support among our landscape hypotheses also varied by species despite increasing forest cover and farm size during our study. The estimated effects of coyote in our study were weaker than reported at more northerly latitudes suggesting that increasing coyote populations may not be fully responsible for observed declines in fox populations in the midwestern USA.

Journal of Wildlife Management 85(8):1669-1684. DOI: 10.1002/jwmg.22120 \| Abstract \| Publisher Website	October 2021	Landscape features influence wildlife movements across spatial scales and therefore have the potential to influence the spread of disease. Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a fatal prion disease affecting members of the family Cervidae, particularly white-tailed deer (<i>Odocoileus virginianus</i>), and the first positive CWD case in a wild Ohio deer was recorded in 2020. While landscape genetics approaches are increasingly utilized to better understand potential pathways for CWD spread in white-tailed deer, little is known about genetic structure of white-tailed deer in Ohio. The objectives of our study were to evaluate spatial genetic structure in white-tailed deer across Ohio and compare the support for isolation by distance (IBD) and isolation by landscape resistance (IBR) models in explaining this structure. For genetic data we used microsatellite genotypes from 619 individuals from 24 counties across Ohio genotyped at 11 loci and a 547-bp fragment of the mitochondrial DNA Control Region from the same individuals. We used spatial and non-spatial genetic clustering tests to evaluate genetic structure in both types of genetic data and empirically optimized landscape resistance surfaces to compare IBD and IBR using microsatellite data. Non-spatial genetic clustering tests failed to detect spatial genetic structure while spatial genetic clustering tests indicated subtle spatial genetic structure. IBD models consistently outperformed IBR models including land cover, traffic volume, and streams. Our results indicated widespread genetic connectivity of white-tailed deer across Ohio and negligible barrier effects of landscape features. These patterns likely reflect some combination of minimal resistive effects of landscape features on white-tail deer movement in Ohio and the effects of regional recolonization or translocation. We encourage continued CWD surveillance in Ohio, particularly in the proximity of confirmed cases.

Molecular Ecology, 30, 3422-3438. https://doi.org/10.1111/mec.15979 \| Abstract \| Publisher Website	July 2021	Landscape features can strongly influence gene flow and the strength and directionof these effects may vary across spatial scales. However, few studies have evaluatedmethodological approaches for selecting spatial scales in landscape genetics analyses,in part because of computational challenges associated with optimizing landscaperesistance surfaces (LRS). We used the federally threatened eastern indigo snake(Drymarchon couperi) in central Florida as a case study with which to compare the importanceof landscape features and their scales of effect in influencing gene flow. Weused genetic algorithms (ResistanceGA) to empirically optimize LRS using categoricalland cover surfaces, multiscale resource selection surfaces (RSS), and four combinationsof landscape covariates measured at multiple spatial scales (multisurfacemultiscale LRS). We compared LRS where scale was selected using pseudo-andfulloptimization. Multisurface multiscale LRS received more empirical support than LRSoptimized from categorical land cover surfaces or RSS. Multiscale LRS with scale selectedusing full optimization generally outperformed those with scale selected usingpseudo-optimization.Multiscale LRS with large spatial scales (1200–1800m) receivedthe most empirical support. Our results highlight the importance of considering landscapefeatures across multiple spatial scales in landscape genetic analyses, particularlybroad scales relative to species movement potential. Different effects of scale onhome range-levelmovements and dispersal could explain weak associations betweenhabitat suitability and gene flow in other studies. Our results also demonstrate the importanceof large tracts of undeveloped upland habitat with heterogenous vegetationcommunities and low urbanization for promoting indigo snake connectivity.

Journal of Aquatic Animal Health 22:274–279. \| Abstract	December 2010	The Asian fish tapeworm Bothriocephalus acheilognathi (Cestoda: Bothriocephalidea) is an introduced fish parasite in the southwestern United States and is often considered a serious threat to native desert fishes. Determining the geographic distribution of nonnative fish parasites is important for recovery efforts of native fishes. We examined 1,140 individuals belonging to nine fish species from southwestern U.S. streams and springs between January 2005 and April 2007. The Asian fish tapeworm was present in the Gila River, Salt River, Verde River, San Pedro River, Aravaipa Creek, and Fossil Creek, Arizona, and in Lake Tuendae at Zzyzx Springs and Afton Canyon of the Mojave River, California. Overall prevalence of the Asian fish tapeworm in Arizona fish populations was 19% (range ¼ 0– 100%) and varied by location, time, and fish species. In California, the prevalence, abundance, and intensity of the Asian fish tapeworm in Mohave tui chub Gila bicolor mohavensis were higher during warmer months than during cooler months. Three new definitive host species—Yaqui chub G. purpurea, headwater chub G. nigra, and longfin dace Agosia chrysogaster—were identified. Widespread occurrence of the Asian fish tapeworm in southwestern U.S. waters suggests that the lack of detection in other systems where nonnative fishes occur is due to a lack of effort as opposed to true absence of the parasite. To limit further spread of diseases to small, isolated systems, we recommend treatment for both endo- and exoparasites when management actions include translocation of fishes

Journal of Threatened Taxa 13:19079-19092. https://threatenedtaxa.org/index.php/JoTT/article/view/7102 \| Abstract \| Download \| Publisher Website	July 2021	Species-specific conservation is important for maintaining the integrity of ecological communities but is dependent on sufficiently understanding multiple aspects of a species’ ecology. Species-specific data are commonly lacking for species in geographic areas with little research and species perceived to have insufficient charisma or economic importance. Despite their widespread distribution across central and North America and status as a furbearing mammal, little is known about the ecology of Grey Foxes Urocyon cinereoargenteus compared to other species of furbearing mammals. To understand what is known about this species, especially factors affecting population dynamics, we performed a systematic review of the scientific literature. We found 234 studies about Grey Foxes, with studies increasing substantially over time but with geographic gaps in the Great Plains and most of Mexico and central America. Most studies we reviewed examined relative abundance or occupancy (n= 35), habitat associations (n= 30), primarily as part of larger mammalian community studies, or spatiotemporal effects of other mammalian carnivores (n= 19), predominately Coyote Canis latrans. Grey Foxes were primarily forest-associated although associations with specific forest communities or anthropogenically disturbed habitats varied among studies. Multiple studies across ecoregions reported this fox as among both the most- and least-abundant mammalian carnivore. The inter-specific effects of Coyote were often, but not exclusively, negative and were likely mediated by landscape composition and human development. Importantly, very few studies examined population-effects of coyotes on Grey Foxes. Studies of population trends, demographics, and space use of Grey Foxes were comparatively rare and small inter- and intra-study sample sizes limited our ability to infer broader patterns. We suggest multiple avenues for future research to better understand the population status of this species throughout their range.

Evaluating Relationships between Fish Populations and Flow Regime Characteristics in Four Arizona Streams. 148th Annual Meeting of the American Fisheries Society, Atlantic City, New Jersey from August 19-23, 2018. Contributed Presentation.	August 2018	Conserving the natural flow regime of streams is critical to safeguarding the diversity of native fish species. The desert Southwest is home the highest concentration of endangered fish species in the United States, and many of these species have adapted to the variation, magnitude, frequency, timing, and rate of change of flow regimes unique to this ecosystem. Determining the relationship between the characteristics of different flows and fish population dynamics is important for managing southwest rivers for the benefit of native species. The objective of this study is to examine the relationship between fish populations and hydrological data over time using a 30-year fish sampling dataset from the Arizona Game and Fish Department and USGS hydrology data from stream gages in four Arizona streams. Additionally, we used USGS StreamStats to evaluate spatial variation in populations within each stream in relation to streamflow based on this historical dataset and field data from Summer 2017. USGS Streamstats generates estimates of 2-year, 10-year, and 100-year magnitude flooding events using regional regression models. These metrics were analyzed in relation to spatial variation in fish populations. This study provides critical information to managers on how flow dynamics interact with different fish species in arid-land rivers.

Florida Chapter of The Wildlife Society Meeting, Wildlife Translocation in Florida Symposium. March 24, 2022.	March 2022	Wildlife translocation is commonly used in wildlife management and conservation and may be an important tool in moving individuals out of sites slated for development. We compared survival and movement between translocated and resident gopher frogs and found that translocation status had a minor effect on survival compared to movement frequency with frogs that moved more frequently having lower survival.

Bonar, S. A. 2016. An overview of stream flow effects on Western native/nonnative fish interactions. 146th Annual Meeting of the American Fisheries Society, Kansas City, Missouri, August 19-25, 2016.	August 2016	Many western North American streams and rivers are known for their exceptionally variable hydrographs. Periodic flood events clean and redistribute substrate, provide nutrients, and flush out nonnative species that have not evolved under such variable hydrological regimes. Regulating the flow of Western rivers has often led to changes in species composition favoring nonnative species. Many nonnative faunas are more adapted to slower, pooling waters. Here I provide specific examples from the western United States on the effects of flow alterations on native/nonnative fish species interactions. Modelling of potential effects and case histories of changes in aquatic communities following flow alternations have been important in litigation to conserve natural stream flow effects for native species. A working knowledge of native/nonnative fish interactions, and their response to stream flow alteration is important for fisheries biologists and managers.

Effects of anthropogenic development, body size, and sex on range-wide eastern indigo snake survival. 2022 Annual Conference of The Wildlife Society, Spokane, WA, U.S.A.	November 2022	Understanding how anthropogenic development affects wildlife survival is important for developing spatially explicit population viability models to predict survival and viability as a function of a region's unique landscape context. We model survival of the federally threatened eastern indigo snake as a function of road density, sex, and body size and found that survival was lower in more developed landscapes, for males, and for small individuals; this information will be used to develop spatially explicit population viability models for eastern indigo snakes.
Bauder, J., D. Ruid, N. Roberts, B. Kohn, and M. Allen. 2021. Effects of translocation on survival of nuisance American black bear. 2021 Annual Conference of The Wildlife Society. Virtual.	October 2021	We used 38-years of mark-recapture data on translocated nuisance American black bear in Wisconsin, USA, to estimate survival and determine how cause-specific mortality is affected by translocation distance. We found that survival was generally lower than in non-translocated non-nuisance black bear populations despite also finding a positive relationship between survival and translocation distance; these results together suggest that lower survival in our study is not due to translocation per se but rather the inherent risks associated with nuisance behavior, which also highlight the importance of reducing opportunities for nuisance behavior in managing human-bear conflict.
