Remediating effects of human threats on lotic fish assemblages within the Missouri River basin : how effective are conservation practices
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
To develop tools that can improve agricultural conservation, I: 1) assessed total watershed condition and where agricultural conservation practices (CPs) are likely to be effective (hereafter primary management capacity) of stream segments...
River restoration in the upper Mississippi River Basin
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
River restoration has become an important management choice to address causes and effects of surface water impairment and river modification in the Upper Mississippi River Basin (UMRB). I report information on individual ...
Amphibians as wetland restoration indicators on Wetlands Reserve Program sites in Lower Grand River basin, Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
My research goal was to determine if hydrological and biological wetland characteristics had been restored to Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP) sites in the Lower Grand River basin, north-central Missouri, as indicated by ...
Relation of Missouri river flows to sandbar morphology with implications for selected biota
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Channel modification and flow regulation in historically braided large rivers, have reduced sandbars and associated highly productive habitats for riverine biota. Sandbars are an important interface between aquatic and ...
Use of main channel and shallow-water habitat by larval fishes in the lower Missouri River
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
I developed a series of research objectives organized in a spatial hierarchy to characterize larval fish nursery habitat within the lower Missouri River. Native carpsucker spp./buffalo spp. (Carpiodes spp./Ictiobus spp.) ...
Assemblage structure and shallow-water habitat use by small-bodied fishes at lower Missouri River sandbars
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
Populations of many native big-river fishes have declined since channelization and flow regulation contributed to losses of shallow-water habitat (SWH) on lower Missouri River (LMOR). Existing point and wing-dike sandbars ...
