Anthropogenic forces of land use and land cover change have affected Columbian Sharp-tailed grouse habitats in southeastern Idaho over the past century, with the assumption that the decline in bird counts at lek sites relates to the increase and...
Despite growing interest in conservation and reestablishment of ecological connectivity, few studies have explored its context-specific social-ecological outcomes. In this study, we integrated two modeling approaches, mental modeling of...
Redband trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss gairdneri) have experienced reductions in abundance and geographic range as the result of the compounding effects of habitat alteration, fragmentation, and stream-flow diversion. Redband trout in southwestern...
Survey data collected on the impacts of the 2015 water settlement agreement in Idaho on Idaho's farmers. Data is focused on how having less groundwater affected their farm operations and farm management decisions.
We sampled transported organic matter in Big Creek mainstem monthly from December 2010 to March 2011. During each month, transported organic matter was collected during 3 time periods (morning, mid-day, and night) for a 24 h period to encompass...
We collected aquatic insects from the an elk carcass (May 2011) for isotope analysis. We also collected aquatic insects at sites without a carcass in March 2011 for reference samples (no-carcass treatment). Similarly to gut-content analysis, we...
We collected aquatic insects monthly (December 2010 to March 2011) from thalweg and edge habitats with kick-nets (250-mm mesh). We also collected insects directly from an elk carcass in May 2011. Individuals were preserved in Kahle’s solution (...
We sampled transported organic matter in Big Creek mainstem monthly from December 2010 to March 2011. During each month, transported organic matter was collected during 3 time periods (morning, mid-day, and night) for a 24 h period to encompass...
We sampled biofilm (assemblage of living and dead autotrophs, heterotrophic microbes, and detritus on rocks) monthly from December 2010 to March 2011 at 36 study locations (18 thalweg and 18 edge) in the mainstem of Big Creek. Study locations...
Fish abundance in the main-stem ecosystem surrounding its confluences with burned, burned + debris flow, and unburned streams was estimated by underwater surveys with mask and snorkel. Snorkel surveys encompassed habitat above and below each...
