Uncertainty in Various Habitat Suitability Models and Its Impact on Habitat Suitability Estimates for Fish
Species distribution models (SDMs) are extensively used to project habitat suitability of species in stream ecological studies. Owing to complex sources of uncertainty, such models may yield projections with varying degrees of uncertainty. To better understand projected spatial distributions and the variability between habitat suitability projections, this study uses five SDMs that are based on...
متن کاملHabitat suitability models for desert amphibians
A fundamental step in conserving biodiversity is identification of quality habitat needed to sustain populations of target species. We used coarse scale environmental features (soil water holding capacity, soil texture, slope, elevation, and proximity to drainage channels) to predict habitat suitability for four species of desert amphibians in Big Bend National Park, USA: Scaphiopus couchii, Bu...
متن کاملStream Channel Modifications and Reclamation Structures to Enhance Fish Habitat
The process of channel modification has played a major, although not always beneficial, role in the development of this country. Land drainage has been necessary to convert swampland into fertile, productive farmland. Dredging of our stream bottoms has led to the discovery of precious metals and also to the creation of navigable waterways to transport our people and products. As our cities deve...
متن کاملHabitat Suitability of the Carolina Madtom, an Imperiled, Endemic Stream Fish
—The Carolina madtom Noturus furiosus is an imperiled stream ictalurid that is endemic to the Tar and Neuse River basins in North Carolina. The Carolina madtom is listed as a threatened species by the state of North Carolina, and whereas recent distribution surveys have found that the Tar River basin population occupies a range similar to its historical range, the Neuse River basin population h...
متن کاملFish Habitat Optimization to Prioritize River Restoration Decisions
This paper examines and ranks restoration alternatives for improving fish habitat by evaluating tradeoffs between fish production and restoration costs. Optimization modelling is used to maximize out‐migrating coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) from a natal stream and is applied as a case study in California’s Shasta River. Restoration activities that alter flow and water temperature conditions...
