This book was released on 1978 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Crayfish growth and population densition were determined and compared for Pacifastacus Leniusculus (Dana) populations in two closely situated but limnologically distinct Sierra-Nevada lakes, Lake Tahoe (California-Nevada) and Donner Lake (California). Physical, chemical and biological parameters for the lakes were also compared to determine whether differences observed in crayfish populations could be related to broad limnological characterics of the lakes. The crayfish population in mesotrophic Donner Lake was found to be considerable less dense than in ultraligotrophic Lake Tahoe. The implication of this finding for crayfish production management is discussed. A brief discussion of possible genetic differences between the two crayfish populations, based on gel electrophoresis, is also presented.

Download or read book Ecosystems of California written by Harold Mooney and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2016-01-19 with total page 1008 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This long-anticipated reference and sourcebook for CaliforniaÕs remarkable ecological abundance provides an integrated assessment of each major ecosystem typeÑits distribution, structure, function, and management. A comprehensive synthesis of our knowledge about this biologically diverse state, Ecosystems of California covers the state from oceans to mountaintops using multiple lenses: past and present, flora and fauna, aquatic and terrestrial, natural and managed. Each chapter evaluates natural processes for a specific ecosystem, describes drivers of change, and discusses how that ecosystem may be altered in the future. This book also explores the drivers of CaliforniaÕs ecological patterns and the history of the stateÕs various ecosystems, outlining how the challenges of climate change and invasive species and opportunities for regulation and stewardship could potentially affect the stateÕs ecosystems. The text explicitly incorporates both human impacts and conservation and restoration efforts and shows how ecosystems support human well-being. Edited by two esteemed ecosystem ecologists and with overviews by leading experts on each ecosystem, this definitive work will be indispensable for natural resource management and conservation professionals as well as for undergraduate or graduate students of CaliforniaÕs environment and curious naturalists.

Download or read book Invasion Success and Community Effects of Signal Crayfish Pacifastacus Leniusculus in Eastern Sierra Nevada Streams written by Theo Light and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Alien crayfish threaten freshwater communities in many parts of the world, and are a novel element in many California stream systems. I conducted a five-year field study in eastern Sierra Nevada streams of non-native signal crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus) distribution and habitat relationships, community effects, and interactions with native Paiute sculpin (Cottus beldingi, a small benthic fish). My first dissertation chapter examines the distribution of crayfish and sculpin, their associations with reservoirs and stream regulation, and abundance changes over time associated with natural hydrologic disturbance. Crayfish and sculpin densities were positively correlated at scales from local to regional, probably because of the strong associations of both species with low gradients and rocky cover. Crayfish were most abundant in stream segments close to reservoirs, and declined in years following intense and prolonged winter floods. Sculpin were less abundant than expected in regulated reaches, and their recruitment increased in flood years. The second chapter reports the results of field enclosure experiments investigating competition between crayfish and sculpin and top-down effects of both species on benthic invertebrates and algae. These experiments indicated strong, reciprocal interspecific competition, as measured by growth rates, and strong intraspecific competition among crayfish but no evidence of competition among sculpin at natural densities. Crayfish reduced total invertebrate abundance and abundance of larger invertebrates but had no effect on algal biomass. Sculpin had neutral or marginally positive effects on invertebrates and positive effects on algae. The final chapter considers behavioral mechanisms for the competitive effects of crayfish on sculpin, evaluated experimentally in a stream observation facility of the Sagehen Creek Field Station. Sculpin reduced their use of shelters and pools, shifted into higher-velocity microhabitats, and spent more time fleeing in the presence of crayfish. Crayfish used shelters, pools, and low-velocity habitats more than sculpin. Under natural conditions, potential refuges (unembedded rocks) were closely associated with total crayfish and sculpin densities, suggesting that competition for cover may occur in Sagehen Creek. I conclude that although crayfish may alter communities in reservoir-influenced streams, and can invade far upstream during prolonged droughts, their effects are probably minor or temporary in most unregulated stream reaches."--Abstract
Download or read book Management of Freshwater Biodiversity written by Julian Reynolds and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-11-10 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Integrating research into freshwater biodiversity and the role of keystone species, this fascinating book presents freshwater crayfish as representatives of human-exacerbated threats to biodiversity and conservation. It uses examples from these and other large decapod invertebrates to explore how communities function and are controlled, alongside the implications of human demands and conflicts over limited resources, notably the severe impacts on biodiversity. The discussion is structured around three key topics – the present situation of crayfish in world freshwater ecosystems, the applications of science to conservation management and knowledge transfer for successful crayfish management. It outlines the historic exploitation of crayfish, addressing the problems caused by invasive alien forms and explaining the importance of correct identification when dealing with conservation issues. Offering a global perspective on freshwater systems, the book ultimately highlights how the conservation of such large and long-lived species will help protect ecosystem quality in the future.
