Estimating species richness using environmental DNA
(2016)
The foundation for any ecological study and for the effective management of biodiversity in natural systems requires knowing what species are present in an ecosystem. We assessed fish communities in a stream using two ...
Confronting species distribution model predictions with species functional traits
(2016)
Species distribution models are valuable tools in studies of biogeography, ecology, and climate change and have been used to inform conservation and ecosystem management. However, species distribution models typically ...
Quantification of mesocosm fish and amphibian species diversity via environmental DNA metabarcoding
(2016)
Freshwater fauna are particularly sensitive to environmental change and disturbance. Management agencies frequently use fish and amphibian biodiversity as indicators of ecosystem health and a way to prioritize and assess ...
Estimating relative risk of within-lake aquatic plant invasion using combined measures of recreational boater movement and habitat suitability
(3/19/2015)
Effective monitoring, prevention and impact mitigation of nonindigenous aquatic species relies upon the ability to predict dispersal pathways and receiving habitats with the greatest risk of establishment. To examine ...
Successful survival, growth, and reproductive potential of quagga mussels in low calcium lake water: is there uncertainty of establishment risk?
(2015)
The risk of quagga mussel (Dreissena rostriformis bugensis Andrusov 1897) establishment into water-bodies of the western US has expanded the geographic concern regarding the ecological and economic impacts this species ...
Implementing invasive species control: a case study of multi-jurisdictional coordination at Lake Tahoe, USA
(2015)
Biological invasions are increasing in frequency and the need to mitigate or control their effects is a major challenge to natural resource managers. Failure to control invasive species has been attributed to inadequate ...
