Non-native crayfish threaten native aquatic and semi-aquatic species via modification of aquatic habitats and food webs, and via depredation and competition. In Arizona and New Mexico, management of crayfish is challenged by a paucity of knowledge about factors governing their distribution and population dynamics in space and time. Virile (Faxonius virilis) and red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) have been documented in at least 22 of 84 HUC8 watersheds within the Lower Colorado River Basin, largely through opportunistic surveying efforts. However, systematic population surveys conducted across key environmental gradients are needed (1) to identify the environmental conditions that predict occupancy, local...

Millions of acres of California’s forest cover have been lost due to severe wildfire and drought mediatedinsect outbreaks. These acres may not grow back as forests without management action, which could negatively impact carbon sequestration, access to clean drinking water, wildlife habitat and recreation opportunities. Various factors, including limited regeneration potential, hotter and more extreme climatic conditions, and the threat of reburning hinder forest recovery. In recent year researchers have developed numerous tools and resources to help forest managers prioritize where to reforest, and how to implement climate-adaptive strategies. However, forest managers lack the time and resources to review each...
