Accounting For Spatial And Temporal Variation In Macroinvertebrate Community Abundances When Measuring The Food Supply Of Stream Salmonids, Nicholas Weber, Nicolaas Bouwes, Chris Jordan
Accounting For Spatial And Temporal Variation In Macroinvertebrate Community Abundances When Measuring The Food Supply Of Stream Salmonids, Nicholas Weber, Nicolaas Bouwes, Chris Jordan
Watershed Sciences Faculty Publications
The goal of salmonid habitat monitoring programs is to measure habitat attributes linked to salmonid productivity based on protocols that have sufficient precision to detect environmental variation at relevant spatial and temporal scales. Benthic macroinvertebrate community composition often is evaluated as part of habitat monitoring and assessment protocols, despite a lack of direct relationships between benthic composition and salmonid production. Macroinvertebrate drift provides a direct measure of the food resources available to stream salmonids, but drift is rarely evaluated as part of habitat monitoring protocols. This reluctance may stem from the complex spatial and temporal variability inherent in macroinvertebrate drift …
