||
| Funding and Partners | US
Geological Survey, Status and Trends Program
National Fish Habitat Initiative Desert Fishes Partnership |
|
| Duration | 2009-2012 | |
| Personnel | Craig Paukert, Julian Olden (Univ. of WA), Jodi Whittier (K-State), Angela Strecker (post doc). | |
| Objectives | 1)
Identify areas of native fish maximum taxonomic and functional diversity
at multiple spatial scales
2) Quantify the primary threats to achieving conservation goals, and how the magnitude of threats varies across spatial scales 3) Assess the association between species’ distributions, taxonomic and functional community composition, and threats at different spatial scales in order to forecast the future effects of environmental change. |
