Abstract:: Headwater streams in the Oregon Coastal Range are subject to drastic fluctuations in flow and temperature because of the changing seasonality of a Mediterranean climate. In response to these changes, stream fishes exhibit a variety of movement patterns. Coastal Cutthroat Trout (Oncorhynchus clarkii clarkii) have evolved an assortment of life...

Creator:: Eaton, Jordan E.
Abstract:: Dams, culverts, and water intake structures can impact the movement of aquatic and semi-aquatic species within streams and rivers. Datagaps exist regarding the impact of water intake structures on larval coastal giant salamanders (Dicamptodon tenebrosus) as these obstructions may produce a barrier to up and downstream movement. The Rock Creek...
