Transcript Molecular Simulation of Highly Crosslinked Epoxy Resin

Problem:
Temporal scale has been neglected in studies of habitat selection, although it has been shown to alter data interpretation in studies of behavior, habitat use, and habitat selection.
Project Objective:
We tested
forseasonal and diel differences in elk habitat selection for 25 GPS-collared elk (Cervus canadensis) in the Jemez Mountains of north-central New Mexico.

Introduction Post-fire flooding
from the Las Conchas (2011)
and Thompson Ridge (2013)
fires caused flash floods that
killed >35,000 trout in the Rio
San Antonio alone. Monitoring
of fish and aquatic invertebrates
is being conducted to understand
primary and secondary impacts
of floods, and to determine the
rate of recovery.
Fish Results
Trout species reduced or extirpated in headwater reaches; less
impact downstream.
Native non-game fish survived, and populations increased in
the absence of predatory trout.
Recovery of trout populations led to reductions in native
species.
Invertebrate Results
Population abundance and species richness were
reduced by flood events, compared to data from
2005-2007 in same sites.
Impacts greatest in Indios Creek, less in Valle
Toledo.
Assemblages still reduced in taxa and abundance
as of autumn, 2014.
Methods:
•Establish permanent 100-m
stream reaches for long-term
sampling.
•Conduct 3-pass electro-shock
live-capture/measure/release
•Sampled in spring and fall
•Record species ID, length, mass
23 sites established throughout
the CFLRP Project area (VCNP
and SFNF)
Full recovery will depend on watershed
stability and reduction of sediment loading.
