In 2023, the Supreme Court's majority opinion in Sackett v. EPA created an unclear requirement that federally protected wetlands must have a "continuous surface connection" to waters. This study estimates potential impact of interpretations ruling on federal protections, using wetland flooding frequency as proxy for new requirement. An estimated 17 million acres (19%) nearly all 90 non-tidal conterminous US could be without and variability state protections creates hotspots risk. The high-level provided here represent first step towards understanding extent highlight uncertainty introduced by ruling.

Assessing direct fitness effects of individual genetic diversity is challenging due to the intensive and long-term data needed quantify survival reproduction in wild. But resolving these necessary determine how inbreeding outbreeding influence eco-evolutionary processes. We used 8 years capture-recapture single nucleotide polymorphism genotypes for 1906 individuals test heterozygosity on stage-specific probabilities salamander Gyrinophilus porphyriticus. The life cycle G. porphyriticus includes an aquatic larval stage followed by metamorphosis into a semi-aquatic adult stage. In our study populations, lasts 6-10 years, takes several months, lifespan can reach 20 years. Previous studies showed that sensitive stage, leading us predict would occur during metamorphosis. Consistent with this prediction, monthly probability declined multi-locus (MLH), from 0.38 at lowest MLH (0.10) 0.06 highest (0.38), reduction 84%. Body condition larvae also significantly increasing MLH. These relationships were consistent three streams. With evidence localised within streams, results suggest disrupts adaptations pre-metamorphic metamorphic environmental gradients along adding headwater streams are hotspots microgeographic adaptation. Our underscore importance incorporating history analyses similar discrete transitions may be critical periods viability selection.

Headwater streams (HWS) are ecologically important components of montane ecosystems. However, they difficult to map and may not be accurately represented in existing spatial datasets. We used topographically resolved climatic water balance data satellite indices retrieved from Google Earth Engine model the occurrence (presence or absence) HWS across Northwest Montana. A multi-scale feature selection (MSFS) procedure boosted regression tree models/machine learning algorithms were identify variables associated with occurrence. In final evaluation, models that included deficit more accurate (83.5% ranging 82.9% 83.7%) than using only terrain (81.1% 80.7% 81.4%) improved upon estimates stream extent by National Hydrography Dataset Plus High Resolution (NHDPlus HR) (82.7% 82.5% 83.1%). Including topoclimate captured varying effect upslope accumulated area a strong moisture gradient. Multi-scale cross-validation, coupled MSFS algorithm allowed us find parsimonious was immediately evident standard cross-validation procedures. More predictions have potential for immediate application land resource management, where significant field time can spent identifying impacts prior contracting planning.
