| Notes | Studied populations of coastal cutthroat trout, all of which were isolated above significant barriers to downstream travel (waterfalls). Among the findings were that Cascade headwater fish tended to live in a single channel and be more vulnerable to habitat disruptions such as landslides, while coastal streams "tended to have more complex drainage patterns and fewer within-watershed obstacles to dispersal..." and were therefore more likely to retain genetic diversity. More genetic diversity was found than expected. |
