Impacts of suspended and deposited sediment on benthic invertebrates and fishes in a Missouri Ozark stream
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)Sediment is suspected in the decline of sensitive-aquatic organisms in the Osage River basin of Missouri. In this study, I monitored sediment dynamics and evaluated corresponding linkages with benthic invertebrate and fish ... -
Investigation of an invasive crayfish and its relation to two imperiled native crayfishes; anthropogenic influences, multi-scale habitat associations, and conservation options
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)The introduced Woodland Crayfish (Orconectes hylas) is spreading throughout the St. Francis River, Missouri. The imperiled Big Creek Crayfish (Orconectes peruncus) and St. Francis River Crayfish (Orconectes quadruncus) are ... -
Landscape and inchannel factors affecting the distribution and abundance of riverine smallmouth bass in Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)I developed a series of spatially-nested research objectives to identify habitat elements related to the distribution and abundance of riverine smallmouth bass Micropterus dolomieu in Missouri. The range of smallmouth bass ... -
Macroinvertebrate and crayfish communities in the Meramec River drainage basin: an investigation at multiple spatial scales
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)Hierarchical classification systems have been widely used to delineate terrestrial ecounits at multiple spatial scales; however there has long been a need for an aquatic based classification system. A newly developed aquatic ... -
Movement, habitat use, and spawning characteristics of flathead and blue catfish on the lower Missouri River and tributaries
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)The movement and habitat use patterns of adult flathead and blue catfish were studied via acoustic and radio telemetry in the lower Missouri River and adjacent tributaries including the Grand, Lamine, Chariton, and Little ... -
A study of the abundance, diversity, and recruitment status of freshwater mussels in the Marais des Cygnes River, Kansas
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)This study examines the status of a freshwater mussel assemblage located on the Marais des Cygnes River at the Marais des Cygnes National Wildlife Refuge in Kansas. Four mussel beds were selected and parameters including ... -
Watershed-sediment-biotic linkages in small streams of Missouri's Osage River Basin
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)Sedimentation is an important variable influencing the complex physical and biological features of streams. Hierarchical models of watershed characteristics, within third-order streams of the Osage River Basin in Missouri, ...
