Biological Informatics
Goal 4 Biological Informatics: Apply innovative technologies and best practices to improve the collection, description and dissemination of biological information to our customers.
Project 83439KV - Science Information and Technology Part of the mission of the U.S. Geological Survey is to disseminate its scientific information so that decision makers and the public can make informed decisions and choices. The USGS National Wetlands Research Center accomplishes this mission through support functions of information science (library), publishing, education and outreach, and information technology and management, as well as specific applications such as the National Biological Information Infrastructure, the Coastal Wetlands Protection, Preservation and Restoration Act Task Force, and the Data and Information Management System. Products include the NWRC Web site, publications in USGS series and peer-reviewed journals, information products such as kiosks and CD-ROM. In particular there has been a host of products geared to the effects of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, emerging new technology, and the needs of USGS in a changing coastal landscape. Information partners range from the Department of the Interior agencies to State agencies to universities and non-government organizations such as Ducks Unlimited. Significant accomplishments include acquiring the Robert Wetzel Memorial Limnology and Wetland Ecology Collection, editing and producing The State of the Colorado River Ecosystem in Grand Canyon Report, producing educational CD-ROMs and kiosks, winning product awards from the Society for Technical Communication and the National Association of Government Communication, reaching more than 50,000 people about wetlands, contributing to the National Biological Information Infrastructure, writing metadata for the Gulf of Mexico and NWRC maps, developing and producing technology to assist biologists in the field, and creating the Data and Information Management System for Gulf Coast research.

Invasive Species
Goal 3 Invasive Species: Monitoring-Assess changes in populations and distributions of established invaders
Goal 6 Invasive Species: Determine effects of invasive species and susceptibility of habitats to invasions
Project 83439HF - Biological Invasions: Southeast Forests and Gulf Coastal Plain The goal of this study is to support prevention and control of invasive species by evaluating known and potential invasive species in terms of their effects on natural systems and possible mechanisms of control; develop predictive models of invasive species spread, effects on native biota and ecosystems, and control. It also has the goal to evaluate factors that limit the dominance and spread of invasive species both in the locations of origin as well as invasive habitats. Research on invasive plants and animals is a high priority of the USFWS and the NPS. Significant accomplishments include setting up a volunteer worldwide network for comparing purple loosestrife data, quantifying relationship of Chinese tallow and wintering birds, and conceptual design development of a national early detection and rapid response for invasive plants (Contact Carroll_Cordes@usgs.gov). Task 1 - Invasive Species of North America vs. Eurasia The project has succeeded in: · Setting up teams of volunteers to make latitudinal comparisons of height, density, seed production and canopy coverage of Lythrum salicaria in North America, Europe, Australia and Asia. More than 50 people have collected data · Secured USDA permits to import Lythrum salicaria seeds from all over the world. The permits took more than a year to secure. Thus far, seeds have arrived from collaborators in Michigan, Wisconsin, Quebec and New South Wales. The seeds will be used in a growth chamber experiment to determine the ability of Lythrum salicaria to grow at cooler vs. hotter temperatures. Thus far, L. salicaria has only sporadically invaded the southern United States, and this study will determine if this species is likely to invade the South, as it has the northern wetlands of the North America · Set up collaborative teams of researchers and have written grant proposals to study L. salicaria ecology and genetics with: Ken Systma (UW Madison), Keith Edwards (Czech Republic), Nuket Bingol and Cengiz Ture (Turkey), Joy Marburger (NPS, Indiana Dunes) · Continuing in-house repair of the NWRC growth chambers to refurbish them for studies of potential distribution of invasive species (ecological range testing) and global climate change · Grant awarded to the collaborative team (above) from the European Union for the Czech researchers to work on purple loosestrife growth at NWRC
Cornus sericea Invasion of Sedge Meadows after Cattle Grazing · The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources is developing a plan to manage shrub invasion in the Lodi Marsh. Experimental burning was conducted in 2000. As the result of meetings with the DNR, a portion of the Lodia Marsh was burned in Spring 2004. The results of the burn will be monitored, particularly regarding the effects of fire on shrub dominance · Altogether, both of these subprojects have generated 10 papers, 1 workshop, 3 websites, and 8 presentations, with many more products planned in the near future (see Basis Plus). Collaborators involve Federal, State and agency personnel, and researchers from around the world (5 countries). Products include Middleton and Grootjans 2005 accepted Task 4 - Interactions Between Chinese Tallow and Wintering Birds · In April 2005, Baldwin successfully defended his M.S. thesis for this project. Manuscript in production: Winter bird use of tallow woodlands vs native riparian forest. · Tallow phenology data have been collected and summarized in graphic format · Nutritional data for associated native fruits will continue Task 6 - Invasive Plant Species Early Detection, Rapid Response, and Analyses · Secured partnership funding totaling $45K for development of invasive plant products · Lead development and publication of a conceptual design for the "National Early Detection and Rapid Response System for Invasive Plants" · Numerous presentations and reports delivered; see Basis Plus
Project 8343BBF - Nutria Modeling, Management and Eradication Research The goal of this study is to expand research to support prevention and control of invasive species, nutria (Myocastor coypus), an aquatic rodent and an important agent of marsh loss in Louisiana and the Eastern shore of Chesapeake Bay. Significant accomplishments include developing new method for building enclosures for field study and increasing efficiency of noninvasive sampling (Contact Carroll_Cordes@usgs.gov). Task 2 - Assessing Nutria Impacts on Marsh Loss and the Impact of Control and Eradication Efforts on Marsh Conservation and Restoration · Developed new method of building enclosures. This method has low impact on floating marsh, is modular, and reusable · We have demonstrated that nutria population densities can be estimated by using a combination of trail sign types and frequency over a 20 meter transect · Densities at which nutria impact the marsh are higher than we expected Task 3 - Nutria Population Estimates · DNA has been extracted from 65 tissue samples (muscle and kidney) for use as a positive control in the optimization of PCR amplification protocols for microsatellite primers developed specifically for nutria · Sixty fecal samples were collected from a captive nutria population for a determination of optimal storage and extraction protocols, of which 9 total combinations were tested. These protocols yielded DNA that could be successfully amplified with only 0-20% efficiency · Based on the results of similar studies, the effect of field temperatures on amplification success was tested, and it was found that collecting in cold weather, i.e. < 50 F, increased amplification success of fecal DNA to approximately 40% · In an effort to further increase efficiency, a new form of non-invasive sampling was also tested, by collecting hair from a second captive population. In this case, 50 matched hair and tissue samples were collected and a recently developed DNA extraction technique, developed specifically for hair, was employed. This yielded a 78% amplification efficiency, which is somewhat greater than the numbers commonly cited in the literature for such studies

Project 83439HD - Genetic and Molecular Tools for Natural Resources Problem Solving: Gulf Coastal Plain Goal is to develop indexes of ecosystem sensitivity to change and vulnerability to potential stressors and to develop tools to predict ecosystem responses to environmental changes. Natural populations lacking genetic diversity to adapt to environmental disturbances face a high risk of local extinction, creating poyential large-scale changes in community compositions. Responsible factors for declining genetic diversity include habitat destruction, fragmentation, and alteration; pollution, disease, hybridization, competition from invasive species, and global climate change. Significant accomplishments include research on genetic profiling (Contact Carroll_Cordes@usgs.gov).

Project 83439HE - Restoration Techniques for Damaged or Degraded Ecosystems: Central U.S River and Streams Ecosystems - Lower Mississippi Valley and Gulf Coast Ecosystems The goal of this study is to model factors controlling ecosystem patterns at various scales and develop decision support systems that integrate this information with management options. Wetland and riparian systems of the Lower Mississippi Valley and the Gulf coastal Plain have been heavily impacted by humans and account for most of the U.S. wetland loss. The potential for habitat restoration in this region includes over 15 million acres of degraded and highly altered lands. Adaptive management and restoration are often stymied by a lack of quantitative information that can be used to guide and track the success of restoration practices, particularly on lands that have lost their vegetative cover and natural hydrology. This area is critical to the U.S. Department of the Interior controlling 3.58 million acres, and responsible for trust species. Additionally, through Federal programs of the Wetlands Reserve Program, the Coastal Barrier Resources Act and the Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection and Restoration Act, the Center works with States and the private sector by providing information on restoration. Significant accomplishments include beginning to develop a decision support model for the Lower Mississippi River Valley. For more details, see below (Contact Carroll_Cordes@usgs.gov).

The science forum consisted of 11 joint USFWS/USGS presentations on cooperative research designed to support USFWS managers in management and restoration, ranging from fresh water fisheries to amphibians, waterfowl, and forests. The forum was held in conjunction with the USFWS Lower Mississippi River Ecoteam at Phillips Community College in Stuttgart, Ark. Approximately 80 USFWS and USGS staff participated in the event, in addition to several NGOs and university scientists.
NBII Reston staff, NWRC staff, and Houston Advanced Research Center staff met October 28, 2004, in Houston, Tex., for a strategic meeting to implement NWRC becoming a co-principal investigator for the Central Southwest and Gulf Coast Information Node for NBII.
NWRC NBII staff conducted a NBII stakeholder meeting on November 30, 2004, in Lafayette, La., to present NBII information to about 30 agencies and to receive their ideas on node needs.
NWRC staff attended a 3-day Gulf of Mexico Alliance workshop in New Orleans, August 9-11, 2004, to propose ideas of how Federal agencies can work with this Gulf States initiative. National Biological Information Infrastructure and Data Information Management System were proposed among other ideas.
The NWRC conducted 12 workshops this year with the University of Louisiana at Lafayette Regional Application Center and Louisiana Army National Guard Geospatial Center pertaining to geospatial and biological subjects.
Drs. Johnston and Ramsey taught a workshop on Applications of Remote Sensing to Natural Resource Management and Monitoring at the Eighth International Conference on Remote Sensing for Marine and Coastal Environments, May 17-19, 2005 in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. Larry Handley has taught 9 WETMAAP teacher workshops with 152 participants in Massachusetts, Maryland, Nebraska, Florida, Missouri, and Louisiana. Handley was the co-organizer of the Louisiana Annual Remote Sensing and GIS Workshop held in New Orleans in April, 2005 with over 200 participants.
v New science directions
· Began new science study of cactus moth mapping and modeling. · Developed hyperspectral remote sensing new methods for detecting the onset and progression of oak decline. · Developed the first method to regionally map small numbers of invasive Chinese tallow with remote sensing image data and link these occurrences to landscape as risk of invasive establishment. · Developed remote sensing methods to detect marsh dieback occurrences and progression in cases of severe and more subtle but continued impacts. · Advanced with NOAA, the frequency, timeliness, detail, and change accuracy of regional and local coastal classifications by using a combination of possible outcome modeling and integration of optical and all weather and day and night radar image data. · With the NPS, created the first classifications of the 440 mile Natchez Trace Parkway and historic Vicksburg Civil War Memorial Parks following the National Vegetation System with remote sensing (digitized photography at 1-m) and new technology developments in image processing. · Developing an integrated science plan for the ivory-billed woodpecker using mapping and sampling techniques on historical and current aerial and digital aerial photography to develop a habitat model for assist in the birds recovery. · Using Continuous Forest Inventory data from the USFWS to transform National Wetland Inventory Classification maps to pseudo-NVCS community-level maps and developing a methodology to assess a "uniqueness" to habitat sampling schemes by using a modified hydrogeomorphic schema.
