The effects of irrigation water withdrawals on macroinvertebrate community structure and life history strategies

Creator:

Miller, Scott W.

Abstract:

I used current water management practices in central and eastern Oregon and Washington as natural experiments to quantify the effects of irrigation water withdrawals on macroinvertebrate community structure and life history strategies. Reduced discharge had direct (e.g. decreased velocity and wetted habitat) and indirect (e.g. increased conductivity and temperature) effects...

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...
