I'm a scientist with the U.S.Forest Service that studies climate change and fish like salmon and trout throughout the Rocky Mountains of western North America.
Great new study in EcoSphere showing how crowd-sourced eDNA sampling can be used to develop precise species distribution models which incorporate effects from other species, in this case the effects of invasive brook trout on native bull trout https://t.co/QemAUcUtec
New paper in Fisheries describes methods behind our madness in developing large inter-agency databases via crowd-sourcing that enable sexy science & build partnerships https://t.co/nJXva4UzTq
@NFWFnews Wanted to thank the NFWF-Bring Back the Natives Program for funding the Aquatic eDNAtlas Database Project to map the nation's aquatic biodiversity. Atlas website is now live, serving species occurrence data & information about eDNA sampling https://t.co/1EdOag7upx
The Aquatic eDNAtlas project website is now live with a crowd-sourced database comprised of ~8,000 samples for ~30 species in the western U.S. New results will be posted regularly as they become available. To learn more or contribute, go here https://t.co/1EdOag7upx
Announcing eBLIMP, the eDNA Basinwide Lamprey Inventory & Monitoring Project β a crowd-sourcing endeavor to develop better information about where these fishy suckers occur. More info at this project site https://t.co/K2W54ouZ7X
Quaglietta et al. with a great new study in Animal Conservation that uses SSN models to accurately describe distributions of endangered desmans as they contract into mountain headwater refugia https://t.co/6e3CuNPhH2. Crazy looking little aquatic mammal...
We have a new paper out as a discussion article in Hydrology & Earth System Sciences, "Principle components of thermal regimes in mountain river networks" & available at my ResearchGate profile https://t.co/I4OU7R6pFV
New paper, "Global warming of salmon and trout rivers: Road to ruin or path through purgatory?" just out in TAFS. Estimates historical warming rates in large rivers for 1976-2015 & examines biological impacts as trends continue. Available @ my ResearchGate https://t.co/I4OU7R6pFV
Our next Spatial-Stream-Networks (SSN) model training workshop is scheduled for May 18-20 in Anchorage, AK just prior to the Western Division American Fisheries Society meeting. Registration is now open here: https://t.co/qiRQp5WhR9
NorWeST stream temperature database & high-resolution scenarios for the western U.S. paper was just published in Water Resources Research. It is available here at the NorWeST website with the database from >100 resource agencies https://t.co/PFyUj6aMbg
