“…The forested portions of the drainage basin were primarily limited to riparian areas, a condition that persists today (Renard et al 1986;Hagen et al 2005*;Triska 2010;Triska et al 2011). Details of forest conditions in eastern North Dakota immediately prior to agricultural development (ca.…”

“…Road kills and accidental captures of Fishers by trappers pursuing legal furbearers demonstrate that Fishers have been recolonizing portions of the Red River of the North and its tributaries in North Dakota since at least 1999 (Triska et al 2011), presumably from expansion of a well-established population in Minnesota (Berg and Kuehn 1994;Erb 2010*, Seabloom 2011.…”

“…In 2008, we initiated a project using remote cameras and enclosed track plates to document the distribution of the newly recolonizing Fisher population in North Dakota (Loughry 2010;Triska 2010;Triska et al 2011). These devices are known to be generally useful for presence/absence sampling of Fishers (Zielinski and Kucera 1995;Foresman and Pearson 1998;Gompper et al 2006), and they remain popular methods for determining the presence of Fishers and other mesocarnivores (Long et al 2008).…”

Fishers (Martes pennanti) historically were reported to occupy forested areas of northeastern North Dakota, but the population was presumed extirpated during the 1900s as a result of overtrapping. Recently (≤15 years), Fishers have been recolonizing the state, and there is increasing interest in developing approaches for monitoring the population. During the period June-August 2008, we compared the efficacy of remote cameras and enclosed track plates in detecting Fishers in riparian forest along portions of the drainage basin of the Red River of the North in eastern North Dakota. We monitored 122 scent stations, each composed of both detection devices, with the remote camera positioned to monitor the entrance of the enclosed track plate. Fishers were detected at 40 of the 122 scent stations (32.8%) distributed along approximately 790 km of riparian forest. Among those 40 stations, Fishers were detected by both camera and track plate at 28 stations (70.0%), by camera only at 9 stations (22.5%), and on track plates only at 3 stations (7.5%). Overall, Fishers were detected 37 times by camera (92.5%) and 31 times on a track plate (77.5%). From photographic evidence at the 37 stations where Fishers were detected by camera, we determined that the average latency to initial detection was 4.8 days (SE 0.3, range 1-8). Among the 37 stations where Fishers were detected by camera, detections most frequently occurred on one (27 sites) (73.0%) or two days (7 sites) (19.0%) of a detection period.

“…Riparian forests provide vital ecosystem services (Naiman et al, 2010;Yang et al, 2019), including mitigation of soil and air pollution, buffering against flooding and erosion, and enhancement of water quality through uptake of nutrients from agricultural runoff (Kozlowski, 2002). These forests also offer aesthetic value and opportunities for recreation (González et al, 2018), as well as habitat for woodland birds and mammals, such as the wood duck (Aix sponsa Linnaeus) and fisher (Pekania pennant Erxleben) (Davis, 2005;Triska et al, 2011). However, installation of major river impoundments in the region has interrupted natural streamflow processes affecting growth and recruitment of riparian trees, with some important species exhibiting signs of potential moisture stress in the post-dam era (Johnson et al, 1976).…”

Phylogeography and host range of Armillaria gallica in riparian forests of the northern Great Plains, USA

Root disease pathogens, including Armillaria, are a leading cause of growth loss and tree mortality in forest ecosystems of North America. Armillaria spp. have a wide host range and can cause significant reductions in tree growth that may lead to mortality. DNA sequence comparisons and phylogenetic studies have allowed a better understanding of Armillaria spp. taxonomic diversity. Genetic sequencing has facilitated the mapping of species distributions and host associations, providing insights into Armillaria ecology. These studies can help to inform forest management and are essential in the development of disease risk maps, leading to more effective management strategies for Armillaria root disease. Armillaria surveys were conducted on publicly owned lands in North Dakota, South Dakota, and Nebraska, U.S.A. Surveyed stands consisted of riparian forests ≥0.4 hectares in area. Armillaria was found at 78 of 101 sites. A total of 57 Armillaria isolates—associated with 12 host tree species—were used for DNA sequencing of the translation elongation factor‐1 alpha (tef1) gene. Armillaria gallica was the only species identified within the study sites. Results suggest that A. gallica is a common root pathogen of hardwood trees in riparian forests of the northern Great Plains with a wider host range and geographic distribution than previously recognized.
