Upstream movement by nonnative brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) promotes invasion of native cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarki) habitat
TL;DR: To understand how immigration and emigration influence the processes by which invading nonnative brook trout displace native cutthroat trout, a study of migratory patterns in Northern Xinjiang reveals an inverted U-shaped pattern in the distribution of these species.
Trout population response to habitat enhancement in six northern Colorado streams
Stephen C. Riley,Kurt D. Fausch +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of log drop structures on trout populations in six small, remote Rocky Mountain streams were examined, and they found that angling pressure was low on all streams, and most anglers killed no fish.
Minimum habitat requirements for establishing translocated cutthroat trout populations
Amy L. Harig,Kurt D. Fausch +1 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that the appropriate scale of habitat measurement for predicting cutthroat trout translocation success in fragmented watersheds is at the patch rather than landscape scale, which is similar to results for other salmonids and vertebrate taxa in general.
Magnitude and direction of stream–forest community interactions change with timescale
Amy Marcarelli,Colden V. Baxter,Joseph R. Benjamin,Yo Miyake,Masashi Murakami,Kurt D. Fausch,Shigeru Nakano +6 more
TL;DR: Seasonal and annual estimates of secondary production and organic matter flows along food web pathway demonstrate that this seasonal input of terrestrial invertebrate prey increases production of certain fish species, reversing the indirect effect on aquatic invertebrates from positive at the seasonal time scale to negative at the annual time scale.
Underestimation of Trout Population Size by Maximum-Likelihood Removal Estimates in Small Streams
Stephen C. Riley,Kurt D. Fausch +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors conducted four-pass electrofishing in seven sections of five small Colorado mountain streams to estimate the frequency that two-and three-pass removal estimates underestimated trout abundance.
