Processes that influence habitat selection in landscapes involve the interaction of habitat composition and configuration
and are particularly important for species with complex life cycles. We assessed the relative influence of landscape spatial
processes and local habitat characteristics on patterns in the distribution and abundance of spawning steelhead
(Oncorhynchus mykiss),...

Linked atmospheric and wildfire changes will complicate future management of native coldwater fishes in fire-prone
landscapes, and new approaches to management that incorporate uncertainty are needed to address this challenge. We used a
Bayesian network (BN) approach to evaluate population vulnerability of bull trout (Salvelinus confluentus) in the Wenatchee River...

We manipulated food inputs among patches within experimental streams to determine how variation in foraging behavior influenced demographic and phenotypic responses of juvenile steelhead trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) to the spatial predictability of food resources. Demographic responses included compensatory adjustments in fish abundance, mean fish size, and size inequality. These responses...
In partially migratory species, such as Oncorhynchus mykiss, the emergence of life history phenotypes is often attributed
to fitness trade-offs associated with growth and survival. Fitness trade-offs can be linked to reproductive tactics that vary between
the sexes, as well as the influence of environmental conditions. We found that O....
We reared juvenile Oncorhychus mykiss with low and high standard metabolic rates (SMR) under alternative thermal regimes to determine how these proximate factors influence life histories in a partially migratory salmonid fish. High SMR significantly decreased rates of freshwater maturation and increased rates of smoltification in females, but not males,...

1. Aquatic ecologists are working to develop theory and techniques for analysis of dynamic stream processes and communities of organisms. Such work is critical for the development of conservation plans that are relevant at the scale of entire ecosystems. The stream network is the foundation upon which stream systems are...
