The effects of water withdrawals on the emergence timing, adult body mass, and total emerging biomass of aquatic insects from two northeast Oregon rivers

Creator:: Brown, Phil D.
Abstract:: Small low-head diversion dams are capable of removing much of the flow of a river, often resulting in increased water temperatures and habitat loss. Warmer temperatures have been shown to accelerate aquatic invertebrate growth and development, and discharge reductions can reduce instream habitat, suggesting that water withdrawals may alter both...

Effects of water withdrawals on macroinvertebrate emergence: Unexpected results for three holometabolous species

Creator:: Brown, P. D., Wooster, D., Johnson, S. L., and DeBano, S. J.
Abstract:: Small, low-head diversion dams are capable of withdrawing much of the flow of a river, often resulting in elevated water temperatures. Accelerated growth and development of aquatic invertebrates has been demonstrated in warmer temperatures, suggesting that the timing of insect emergence and adult body size may be significantly altered by...

Final report : environmental stresses and skeletal deformities in fish from the Willamette River, Oregon, USA

Creator:: Villeneuve, Daniel L., Curtis, Lawrence R., Jenkins, Jeffrey J., Warner, Kara E., Tilton, Fred A., Kent, Michael L., Watral, Virginia G., Cunningham, Michael E., Markle, Douglas F., Sethajintanin, Doolalai, Krissanakriangkrai, Oraphin, Johnson, Eugene R., Grove, Robert Allan, Anderson, Kim A., Oregon State University.

Abstract:: The Willamette River, one of only 14 American Heritage Rivers, flows through the most densely populated and agriculturally productive region of Oregon. Previous biological monitoring of Willamette River fish detected elevated frequencies of skeletal deformities in fish from certain areas of the lower (NP [NP], rivermile [RM] 26-55) and middle...

The Impacts of Multiple Stressors on Aquatic Invertebrate Communities in the Umatilla River

Creator:: Clark, Hannah
Abstract:: Rivers impacted by human activities often have multiple stressors present. The effects of multiple stressors on biological communities can often be difficult to predict, due to the potential for complex interactions between stressors and communities. This thesis explores the impacts of two stressors often associated with agricultural land use, increased...

Characterizing coal and mineral mines as a regional source of stress to stream fish assemblages

Creator:: Daniel, Wesley M., Infante, Dana M., Hughes, Robert M., Tsang, Yin-Phan, Esselman, Peter C., Wieferich, Daniel, Herreman, Kyle, Cooper, Arthur R., Wang, Lizhu, and Taylor, William W.
Abstract:: Mining impacts on stream systems have historically been studied over small spatial scales, yet investigations over large areas may be useful for characterizing mining as a regional source of stress to stream fishes. The associations between co-occurring stream fish assemblages and densities of various “classes” of mining occurring in the...

Feeding behavior and diet of native bull trout Salvelinus confluentus and introduced brook trout S. fontinalis in two Eastern Oregon streams

Creator:: Gunckel, Stephanie L.
Abstract:: One of the greatest threats to native bull trout Salvelinus confluentus populations is the presence of non-native brook trout S. fontinalis. This study, conducted in two second-order Eastern Oregon streams, investigates the effect of brook trout on the feeding behavior arid diet of bull trout. Feeding behavior, microhabitat use, and...

Temporal Variation in the Prey Resource Portfolio of Juvenile Salmonids During Freshwater Rearing

Creator:: Brady, Megan E.
Abstract:: Freshwater rearing is a critical period in the life cycle of anadromous salmonids, known to produce carry-over effects mediating long-term growth and survival. Freshwater growth is primarily determined by food availability and temperature. While many species of salmon rear in freshwater for a full year or longer, most trophic ecology...

Prey availability overrides cover in determining growth and abundance of stream-dwelling cutthroat trout

Creator:: Wilzbach, Margaret A.
Abstract:: The abundance and biomass of cutthroat trout (Salmo clarki) have been found to be greater in logged than in forested streams of the Oregon Cascades. Although certain prey taxa increase in abundance following logging, habitat stability generally decreases and cover structures are removed. Research was conducted to examine the manner...

Defining quantitative stream disturbance gradients and the additive role of habitat variation to explain macroinvertebrate taxa richness

Creator:: Ligeiro, Raphael, Hughes, Robert M., Kaufmann, Philip R., Macedo, Diego R., Firmiano, Kele R., Ferreira, Wander R., Oliveira, Deborah, Melo, Adriano S., and Callisto, Marcos
Abstract:: Most studies dealing with the use of ecological indicators and other applied ecological research rely on some definition or concept of what constitutes least-, intermediate- and most-disturbed condition. Currently, most rigorous methodologies designed to define those conditions are suited to large spatial extents (nations, ecoregions) and many sites (hundreds to...

Seasonal influences on food availability and diet of coastal cutthroat trout in relation to riparian vegetation

Creator:: Romero, Nicolas
Abstract:: Current riparian management objectives in the Pacific Northwest promote both retention of existing conifers and conversion of hardwood-dominated areas to conifers. Although understanding of relationships between riparian vegetation and salmonid prey availability is growing, temporal variation in these relationships is poorly understood. Seasonal fluxes in availability of aquatic and terrestrial...
