Colonization and development of macroinvertebrate communities in laboratory streams

Creator:: Lomnicky, Gregg A.
Abstract:: Laboratory stream communities in simulated old growth second order streams were sampled June 1984 and June 1985 to advance an understanding of their organization and development, and their response to an environmental perturbance, the toxicant dieldrin. An interpenetrating hierarchical view of habitats and community subsystems was taken to conceptualize community...

Age, growth, and diet of fish in the Waldo Lake natural-cultural system

Creator:: Swets, Nicola L.
Abstract:: Waldo Lake, located in the Oregon Cascades, is considered to be one of the most dilute lakes in the world. Even with very low nutrient concentrations and sparse populations of zooplankton, introduced fish in the lake are large in size and in good condition when compared to fish from other...

Cumulative effects of land use on salmon habitat in southwest Oregon coastal streams

Creator:: Frissell, Christopher Andrew, 1960-
Abstract:: As part of a hierarchical approach to classifying watersheds and stream habitats based on geomorphic and geologic criteria, we defined ten classes of fluvial and lacustrine habitats at the scale of valley segments. Valley segments are landscape units which encompass surface waters and the adjacent floodplains and hillslopes with which...

Ecological implications of trout introductions to lakes of the Selway Bitterroot Wilderness, Idaho

Creator:: Bahls, Peter F.
Abstract:: The widespread introduction of trout to naturally fishless mountain lakes in the western United States has been accompanied by little research. The ecological role of trout populations occurring in 91 lakes of the central Selway Bitterroot Wilderness, Idaho, was examined with respect to 1) the sampling variability of biological and...

Anthropogenic activities associated with the status of salmon stocks in Pacific Northwest watersheds

Creator:: Mrakovcich, Karina Lorenz
Abstract:: Stocks of salmon are declining in the Pacific Northwest. Based on region-wide studies that list and categorize the status of salmon stocks (Nehlsen et al., 1991; Huntington et al., 1994; and Nawa, 1995), I analyze the watersheds where stocks of salmon spawn for several anthropogenic variables, most of which are...

Life-history organization of cutthroat trout in Yellowstone Lake and its management implications

Creator:: Gresswell, Robert E.
Abstract:: Life-history organization of the cutthroat trout (Oncorhvnchus clarki) may be viewed at various levels, including species, subspecies, metapopulation, population, or individual. Each level varies in spatial scale and temporal persistence, and components at each level continually change with changes in environment. Cutthroat trout are widely distributed throughout the western USA,...

Stream habitat classification and restoration in the Blue Mountians of northeast Oregon

Creator:: Ebersole, Joseph Lamar
Abstract:: The restoration of rivers and streams should be based on a strong conceptual framework. Streams are developing systems. As such, streams exhibit temporal behaviors that change with changing stream environments. Underlying the dynamic development of streams is potential capacity. Streams express this capacity as an array of habitats over time...

Distribution of nearshore macroinvertebrates in lakes of the northern Cascade Mountains, Washington, USA

Creator:: Hoffman, Robert L.
Abstract:: Although nearshore macroinvertebrates are integral members of high mountain lentic systems, knowledge of ecological factors influencing their distributions is limited. Factors affecting distributions of nearshore macroinvertebrates were investigated, including microhabitat use and vertebrate predation, in the oligotrophic lakes of North Cascades National Park Service Complex, Washington, USA, and the conformity...

Heterogeneous thermal habitat for northeast Oregon stream fishes

Creator:: Ebersole, Joseph L.
Abstract:: Discrete coldwater patches within warm streams provide potential thermal refuge for coldwater fishes during periods of heat stress. This analysis focused on heterogeneity in stream water temperatures as influenced by local influx of cooler subsurface waters. Using field thermal probes and recording thermistors, we identified and characterized coldwater patches potentially...
