Description

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Great Lakes Science Center is offering a funding opportunity for research to improve understanding of fish community variation in rivers of Ontario, Canada relative to multi-scale landscape characteristics. Natural resource managers in Canada are interested to understand how fish communities respond to human activities in catchments across a range of natural landscape contexts. To address this need, data collected in four river basins spanning a range of geologic, temperature, agriculture, urban, dam, and downstream connectivity characteristics will be investigated. Specifically, the research will investigate the relative importance of different scales of influence (e.g., local vs. valley section vs. catchment) on variation in fish community composition and structure.
