White sturgeon mitigation and restoration in the Columbia and Snake rivers upstream from Bonneville Dam, Annual Progress Report April 2005 - March 2006. Report C.
M.J. Parsley, P. Kofoot
2007, Report
River discharge and water temperatures that occurred during April through July 2005 provided conditions suitable for spawning by white sturgeon downstream from Bonneville, The Dalles, John Day, and McNary dams. Optimal spawning temperatures in the four tailraces occurred for 3-4 weeks and coincided with the peak of the river hydrograph....

2007, Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (26) 1657-1665
Studies of fish communities of streams draining mining areas suggest that sculpins (Cottus spp.) may be more sensitive than salmonids to adverse effects of metals. We compared the toxicity of zinc, copper, and cadmium to mottled sculpin (C. bairdi) and rainbow trout (Onchorhynchus mykiss) in laboratory toxicity tests. Acute (96-h) and...

Evaluating shading bias in malaise and intercept traps
Kathryn M. Irvine, Stephen A. Woods
2007, Journal of the Acadian Entolomgical Society (3) 38-48
Foresters are increasingly focusing on landscape level management regimes. At the landscape level, managed acreage may differ substantially in structure and micro-climatic conditions. Trapping is a commonly used method to evaluate changes in insect communities across landscapes. Among those trapping techniques, Malaise and window-pane traps are conveniently deployed to collect...

Russell W. Perry, Amy C. Braatz, Marc S. Novick, Joel N. Lucchesi, Gary L. Rutz, Ryan C. Koch, Jacquelyn L. Schei, Noah S. Adams, Dennis W. Rondorf
2007, Report
During 2005, we used radio-telemetry at McNary Dam to estimate passage and survival parameters of juvenile salmonids. During the spring migration period, two treatments were implemented: 1) 12-h spill operations with spill occurring between 1800 hours and 0600 hours, and 2) 24-h spill with spill occurring 24 hours per day....
Synthesis of juvenile salmonid passage studies at The Dalles Dam volume II: 2001 - 2005

A gap analysis and comprehensive conservation strategy for riverine ecosystems of Missouri
Scott P. Sowa, Gust Annis, Michael E. Morey, David D. Diamond
2007, Ecological Monographs (77) 301-334
North America harbors an astounding proportion of the world's freshwater species, but it is facing a freshwater biodiversity crisis. A first step to slowing the loss of biodiversity involves identifying gaps in existing efforts to conserve biodiversity and prioritizing opportunities to fill these gaps. In this monograph we detail two...
Radiometric recalibration procedure for Landsat-5 Thematic Mapper data

2007, Conference Paper
The Landsat-5 (L5) satellite was launched on March 01, 1984, with a design life of three years. Incredibly, the L5 Thematic Mapper (TM) has collected data for 23 years. Over this time, the detectors have aged, and its radiometric characteristics have changed since launch. The calibration procedures and parameters have...
