“…Indiana is the smallest midwestern state (93,717 km 2 ), composed of 4 major physiographic regions created by the Wisconsin glacier activity (Gray 2000). The glacier activity and subsequent land use influenced the topography, soils, vegetation, land use, and land cover across the state, defined in 12 natural regions (Homoya et al 1985). Nonforested, intensified agriculture (primarily row crops followed by pasture/hay and livestock) was the dominant land use (63%) followed by forest cover (21%), urban‐industrial‐transportation corridors (12%), and 4% in waterbodies or wetlands (Shifley et al 2012, Indiana Department of Natural Resources 2015, United States Forest Service 2019).…”

Fifty years of spring hunting of eastern wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris) has occurred in Indiana, spanning turkey population restoration in the state. A conservative spring harvest structure of a single bird bag, relatively short seasons with a late April opening date was in place for all spring seasons. Herein, we examined trends in state-wide harvest parameters over time and modeled annual harvest at the county level to examine drivers of harvest. Statewide, harvests, hunter numbers, success rates, and effort initially increased as restoration progressed, with increases in areas open to hunting and days of hunting opportunity. Spring harvests peaked during 2006-2010 and declined 4.7% during 2015-2019. Hunter success peaked during 1998-2002 at 27 ± 0.7% (mean ± SE), then declined to 21 ± 0.6% during 2015-2019. After 1993, spring trips/hunter began to level off with 5 ± 0.46 trips/hunter during 2015-2019. The subadult portion of harvest grew during 1970-1974, stabilized at 30 ± 2.0% during 1976-95, and then declined to 17 ± 1.4% during 2015-2019. Two-year old males comprised 49% ± 1.5% of the harvest during 1985-2009, then shifted during 2015-2019 to 41 ± 1.5% 2-yr-olds and 42 ± 2.8% males ≥3 yr of age. The conservative spring season structures maintained through the restoration era with restricted county fall seasons (1 bird bag either sex, 12-day firearm initiated post-restoration in 2005) likely buffered spring harvests from declining production in recent years. We used a 2-step approach to model annual harvest at the county level. First, we fit a

“…They may be associated with shallowly to deeply entrenched gorges where high-gradient rivers downcut through plateaus or escarpments, or cut through mountain ranges. Riverscour may also occur on streams that lack entrenched gorges or strong gradients but where stream morphology and the presence of exposed bedrock amplify scouring effects, such as where a stream flows against bedrock on outside bends (Pyne and Withers 1996; Homoya and Abrell 2005; Cartwright and Wolfe 2016).…”

“…Along the Obed and Big South Fork of the Cumberland River, Murdock et al (2007) documented flows that increased from 100 to 6000 cfs in mere hours. Flood periodicity on the Blue River averages 2.6 floods annually, but most floods last one day or less (Homoya and Abbrell 2005). For fluvial communities along the Potomac River, Lea (2000) reported mean flooding recurrence intervals, percent inundation percentages, and annual probability of flooding percentages, all based on a 68-year record.…”

“…Summer–fall floods may be more common in some regions like the Appalachians. For Indiana's Blue River, Homoya and Abbrell (2005) present some of the few statistics regarding flow impacts on the federally endangered Solidago shortii, which experiences flood events an average of 2.6 times per year during winter and spring but not within the late summer–fall flowering period of this species (based on data from 1931 to 2003). Only nine of the 72 years they evaluated did not have flood events.…”

Riverscour Ecosystems of Eastern Unglaciated North America: A Review

Riverscour is an eclectic assemblage of highly biodiverse riparian natural communities that share characteristics with grasslands, savannas, glades, wetlands, and floodplains. We define "riverscour" as "open riparian habitats of rocky, stable-substrate (bedrock, boulder, cobble) zones, often along high-gradient streams, where periodic high-energy flows (water, ice, debris) and edaphic factors inhibit woody vegetation and promote persistent grassland-shrubland-open woodland-outcrop communities rich in conservative heliophytes." A key factor distinguishing riverscour from gravel and sand bars and other floodplain habitats is that these areas are underlain by more stable substrates, which resist structural reworking by floodwaters. Within Eastern Unglaciated North America, we mapped 1322 stream reaches totaling 2385.8 km containing riverscour. Given their small size, these communities support a disproportionately large number of rare, endemic, and undescribed species. For example, within a five-county area in Tennessee, riverscour makes up significantly less than 1% of the area but contributes at least 37 (25%) of the region's 150 state-and federally-listed vascular plant species. There are numerous threats to riverscour, the greatest being inundation caused by impoundment of rivers and associated downstream hydrologic alterations. Interruption of scouring processes associated with flooding and/or ice promotes succession toward larger woody species and away from open herbaceous/shrub-dominated vegetation. Other threats include invasive species, recreation pressure, and climate change. These threats, coupled with high biodiversity and historical losses, make protection and proper management of riverscour ecosystems especially important in conserving the native biodiversity of eastern North America.

The Subterranean Asellids of Indiana (Isopoda), with the Description of Caecidotea dunlaporum, New Species

Caecidotea dunlaporum, new species, is described from six localities peripheral to the Indiana karst areas. Endemic to Indiana, this new subterranean species occurs in saturated soil interstices. A second species inhabiting unconsolidated sediments, C. beattyi, is reported from Indiana for the first time. This brings to seven the number of obligate subterranean Caecidotea species known from the state. Two species, C. stygia and C. rotunda, are primarily found in caves, while C. jordani, C. kendeighi, and C. teresae are primarily inhabitants of non-cave hypogean habitats. The seven species are divided into the stygia and hobbsi species groups representing two phyletic lines. Conservation statuses of the subterranean isopod fauna include C. teresae extirpated from all known sites, C. dunlaporum and C. jordani critically imperiled, and C. rotunda imperiled.
