Prehistoric climate and landscape features play large roles structuring wildlife populations. The amphibians of the northern Great Plains of North America present an opportunity to investigate how these factors affect colonization, migration, and current population genetic structure. This study used 11 microsatellite loci to genotype 1230 northern leopard frogs (Rana pipiens) from 41 wetlands (30 samples/wetland) across North Dakota. Genetic structure of the sampled frogs was evaluated using Bayesian and multivariate clustering methods. All analyses produced concordant results, identifying a major east-west split between two R. pipiens population clusters separated by the Missouri River. Sub-structuring within the two major identified population clusters was also found. Spatial principal components analysis (sPCA) and variance partitioning analysis identified distance, river basins, and the Missouri River as the most important landscape factors differentiating R. pipiens populations across the state. Bayesian reconstruction of coalescence times suggested the major east-west split occurred ~13-18 kya during a period of glacial retreat in the northern Great Plains and sub-structuring largely occurred ~5-11 kya during a period of extreme drought cycles. A range-wide species distribution model (SDM) for R. pipiens was developed and applied to prehistoric climate conditions during the Last Glacial Maximum (21 kya) and the mid-Holocene (6 kya) from the CCSM4 climate model to identify potential refugia. The SDM indicated potential refugia existed in South Dakota or further south in Nebraska. The ancestral populations of R. pipiens in North Dakota may have inhabited these refugia, but more sampling outside the state is needed to reconstruct the route of colonization. Using microsatellite genotype data, this study determined that colonization from glacial refugia, drought dynamics in the northern Great Plains, and major rivers acting as barriers to gene flow were the defining forces shaping the regional population structure of R. pipiens in North Dakota.

description: Project proposal for research survey to document the breeding ecology of ferruginous hawks, Swainson s hawk, and northern harrier in Kulm Wetland Management District (WMD) in south-central North Dakota. This project is needed due to a lack of life history information on these three raptors that is necessary to inform management decisions and implement strategic habitat conservation at appropriate scales that will benefit these raptor populations. This project proposes to assess changes in land cover and landscape composition (i.e., habitat) over approximately a 30-year time period (1970s to present) and how this measured change has potentially affected the breeding ecology of the ferruginous hawk, Swainson s hawk, and northern harrier. In addition, our proposed project (in conjunction with current South Dakota projects) is a combined effort to repeat historical studies (Lokemoen and Duebbert 1976, Blair 1978, Blair and Schitoskey 1982, Gilbert and Stewart 1983), making results obtained from this research especially reflective of raptor population changes in portions of North Dakota. Data from this study will be combined with data from two concurrent raptor ecology projects beginning in spring 2013 in South Dakota and combined results would be provided to NDGF.; abstract: Project proposal for research survey to document the breeding ecology of ferruginous hawks, Swainson s hawk, and northern harrier in Kulm Wetland Management District (WMD) in south-central North Dakota.

In 2023, it was estimated that nearly 61 percent of those aged 26 to 29 years in the United States were current alcohol drinkers, the highest rate of all age groups. Those aged 26 to 29 also had the highest rates of binge alcohol use. Although the legal age to consume alcohol in the United States is 21, around 31.1 percent of those aged 18 to 20 years were already current alcohol users. Binge drinking in the United States Binge drinking is commonly defined as consuming five or more alcoholic drinks on one occasion for men and four or more drinks for women. Binge drinking is most common among adults in their 20s, and more common among Hispanics and Whites than other races or ethnicities. The states with the highest prevalence of binge drinking are North Dakota, Montana, and Iowa, while Alabama has the lowest prevalence of binge drinking of all U.S. states. In 2022, almost 22 percent of the population of North Dakota binge drank in the past 30 days, with the overall prevalence rate in the United States around 17 percent at that time. High school alcohol use Although alcohol use among teens remains a problem, the annual prevalence of alcohol use among those in grades 8, 10, and 12 has decreased dramatically over the past two decades. In 2023, it was estimated that a combined total of 30 percent of those in grades 8, 10, and 12 had used alcohol in the past year. In comparison, the annual prevalence rate of alcohol use among these grades was just over 67 percent in the year 1991. The 30-day prevalence of alcohol use for these grades has also decreased significantly. In 1991, around 40 percent of those in grades 8, 10, and 12 used alcohol in the past month, while in 2023 this rate dropped to just 14.3 percent.
