| Notes | “Relationships between resident cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarkii clarkii) and six hydrologic indices were investigated using correlation analysis in two experimental headwater catchments in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains of western Oregon. This investigation was to determine if characteristics of discharge explained inter-annual variability in trout abundance.” (from the Abstract) The author attempted to assess the role of spatial scale and stream network location to see how they affected the ability to detect relationships between streamflow and cutthroat trout abundance. She also explored ways to integrate spatial and temporal datasets in hydro-ecological studies. The major professor was Arne E. Skaugset. |
