Multilevel Assessment of Fish Species Traits to Evaluate Habitat Degradation in Streams of the Upper Midwest
—We used species traits to examine the variation in fish assemblages for 21 streams in the Northern Lakes and Forests Ecoregion along a gradient of habitat disturbance. Fish species were classified based on five species trait-classes (trophic ecology, substrate preference, geomorphic preference, locomotion morphology, and reproductive strategy) and 29 categories within those classes. We used a ...
متن کاملRecurrent Die-Offs of Adult Coho Salmon Returning to Spawn in Puget Sound Lowland Urban Streams
Several Seattle-area streams in Puget Sound were the focus of habitat restoration projects in the 1990s. Post-project effectiveness monitoring surveys revealed anomalous behaviors among adult coho salmon returning to spawn in restored reaches. These included erratic surface swimming, gaping, fin splaying, and loss of orientation and equilibrium. Affected fish died within hours, and female carca...

متن کاملCellular Urban Descriptors of Lowland Urban Model
Shape analysis of city growth is an essential means to develop a comprehensive city plan and the key elements of shape analysis are shape descriptors. Recently, many cellular urban models have been developed including the special models for lowland cities. Shape descriptors are the indices used for output of such urban models. Shape descriptors play a very important role in model fitness, calib...
