A Review of Urban Water Body Challenges and Approaches: (1) Rehabilitation and Remediation

Creator:: Hughes, Robert M., Dunham, Susie, Maas-Hebner, Kathleen G., Yeakley, J. Alan, Schreck, Carl, Harte, Michael, Molina, Nancy, Shock, Clinton C., Kaczynski, Victor W., and Schaeffer, Jeff
Abstract:: We review how urbanization alters aquatic ecosystems, as well as actions that managers can take to remediate urban waters. Urbanization affects streams by fundamentally altering longitudinal and lateral processes that in turn alter hydrology, habitat, and water chemistry; these effects create physical and chemical stressors that in turn affect the...

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...

Combining and aggregating environmental data for status and trend assessments: challenges and approaches

Creator:: Maas-Hebner, Kathleen G., Harte, Michael J., Molina, Nancy, Hughes, Robert M., Schreck, Carl, and Yeakley, J. Alan
Abstract:: Increasingly, natural resource management agencies and nongovernmental organizations are sharing monitoring data across geographic and jurisdictional boundaries. Doing so improves their abilities to assess local-, regional-, and landscape-level environmental conditions, particularly status and trends, and to improve their ability to make short-and long-term management decisions. Status monitoring assesses the current...

Creator:: Macedo, Diego R., Hughes, Robert M., Ferreira, Wander R., Firmiano, Kele R., Silva, Deborah R. O., Ligeiro, Raphael, Kaufmann, Philip R., and Callisto, Marcos
Abstract:: Assessing the ecological impacts of anthropogenic pressures is a key task in environmental management. Multimetric indices (MMIs), based on aquatic assemblage responses to anthropogenic pressures, have been used increasingly throughout the world. The MMI approach is a low-cost, rapid field method that produces an aquatic condition index that responds precisely...

Ecological assessment of a southeastern Brazil reservoir

Creator:: Martins, Isabela, Sanches, Barbara, Kaufmann, Philip Robert, Hughes, Robert M., Santos, Gilmar Bastos, Molozzi, Joseline, and Callisto, Marcos
Abstract:: Reservoirs are artificial ecosystems with multiple functions having direct and indirect benefits to humans; however, they also cause ecological changes and influence the composition and structure of aquatic biota. Our objectives were to: (1) assess the environmental condition of Nova Ponte Reservoir, Minas Gerais state, southeastern Brazil; and (2) determine...

Estimating vertebrate, benthic macroinvertebrate, and diatom taxa richness in raftable Pacific Northwest rivers for bioassessment purposes

Creator:: Hughes, Robert M., Herlihy, Alan T., Gerth, William J., and Pan, Yangdong
Abstract:: The number of sites sampled must be considered when determining the effort necessary for adequately assessing taxa richness in an ecosystem for bioassessment purposes; however, there have been few studies concerning the number of sites necessary for bioassessment of large rivers. We evaluated the effect of sample size (i.e., number...

Importance of environmental factors for the richness and distribution of benthic macroinvertebrates in tropical headwater streams

Creator:: Ferreira, Wander R., Ligeiro, Raphael, Macedo, Diego R., Hughes, Robert M., Kaufmann, Philip R., Oliveira, Leando G., and Callisto, Marcos
Abstract:: An understanding of the interactions among local environmental factors (e.g., physical habitat and water quality) and aquatic assemblages is essential to conserve biodiversity in tropical and subtropical headwater streams. We evaluated the relative importance of multiple physical and chemical habitat variables that influence the richness of Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, and Trichoptera...

Is the diet of a typical shredder related to the physical habitat of headwater streams in the Brazilian Cerrado?

Creator:: Ferreira, Wander R., Ligeiro, Raphael, Macedo, Diego R., Hughes, Robert M., Kaufmann, Philip R., Oliveira, Leandro G., and Callisto, Marcos
Abstract:: Macroinvertebrates are important for processing leaf detritus in temperate streams, but studies about their role in tropical streams often present conflicting results. Via digestive tract analyses, we assessed the diets of Phylloicus sp. larvae (Trichoptera: Calamoceratidae), collected from streams of two southeastern Brazil river basins (Araguari, Sao Francisco). We classified...

Non-wadeable river bioassessment: spatial variation of benthic diatom assemblages in Pacific Northwest rivers, USA

Creator:: Pan, Yangdong, Hughes, Robert M., Herlihy, Alan T., and Kaufmann, Philip R.
Abstract:: Current bioassessment efforts are focused on small wadeable streams, at least partly because assessing ecological conditions in non-wadeable large rivers poses many additional challenges. In this study, we sampled 20 sites in each of seven large rivers in the Pacific Northwest, USA, to characterize variation of benthic diatom assemblages among...
