The species composition, density, and distribution of the littoral zooplankton assemblage in Crater Lake, Oregon

Creator:: Warncke, William Madara
Abstract:: The species compositions and densities of the littoral and pelagic zooplankton assemblages in Crater Lake were compared. The littoral and pelagic zooplankton assemblages of most lakes are typically different due to different habitat conditions in the two zones. The littoral zone of Crater Lake lacks many of the habitat characteristics,...

Responses to fertilization and fish stocking in the pelagic ecosystem of a naturally fishless lake

Creator:: Cameron, William A.
Abstract:: Ecologists have studied the responses of pelagic ecosystems to varying levels of nutrient loading and fish predation on many different scales ranging from small experimental enclosures to whole lake systems. There are recurring patterns of response to these two variables, which are generally predictable on the basis of biogeographic, behavioral,...

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,...

Habitat segregation of two ambystomatids in mountain ponds, Mount Rainier National Park

Creator:: Brokes, Brendan J.
Abstract:: Ambystoma macrodactylum (long-toed salamander) and A. gracile (northwestern salamander) are two common salamander species occupying key trophic positions in mountain ponds of Mount Rainier National Park. The objective of this research was to document and evaluate the distributions and abundances of the two species, relative to habitat characteristics of ponds...

Factors influencing spawning migration of bull trout (Salvelinus confluentus) in the North Fork Skokomish River, Olympic National Park, Washington

Creator:: Brenkman, Samuel J.
Abstract:: Distribution and life history characteristics of lacustrine-adfluvial bull trout (Salvelinus confluentus) were described in the North Fork Skokomish River Basin (including Lake Cushman, a reservoir) from 1994 to 1996. Day snorkeling was conducted in the river to determine initiation of the bull trout spawning migration, abundance of spawners, and duration...

Effects of hydrology on zooplankton communities in high mountain ponds, Mount Rainier National Park

Creator:: Girdner, Scott F.
Abstract:: Ten high mountain ponds in Mount Rainier National Park, Washington State, were studied from June through September 1992 to investigate the influences of fluctuating pond volumes on zooplankton communities. A temporary pond of short wet phase duration was inhabited by zooplankton taxa with short generation times and a crustacean taxa...

Ecology of kokanee salmon and rainbow trout in Crater Lake, a deep ultraoligotrophic caldera lake (Oregon)

Creator:: Buktenica, Mark W.
Abstract:: Crater Lake, originally barren of fish, was stocked on an irregular basis from 1888 through 1941 with several species of salmonids. Two species occur in the lake today--kokanee salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) and rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri). This study was initiated in the summer of 1986 to evaluate the ecology of...

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...

Distribution and habitat use of bull trout following the removal of nonnative brook trout

Creator:: Renner, Dirk
Abstract:: Invasion by nonnative brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) often results in replacement of bull trout (Salvelinus confluentus) in western North America, but the causal mechanisms are not well understood. Removal of brook trout from 1992 to 2000 from Sun Creek in southern Oregon, provided an opportunity to investigate the changes in...
