Role of climate and invasive species in structuring trout distributions in the interior Columbia River Basin, USA (2011, background): “…fundamental importance in determining trout distributions include stream size and slope (Lanka et al. 1987; Rahel and Nibbelink 1999; Isaak and Hubert 2000) and human activities such as logging and road construction (e.g., Dunham and Rieman 1999; Trombulak and Frissell 2000; Shepard et al. 2005).”
Local Habitat, Watershed, and Biotic Factors Influencing the Spread of Hybridization between Native Westslope Cutthroat Trout and Introduced Rainbow Trout (2009, background): “Habitat degradation and fragmentation have been identified as leading factors in the decline and extirpation of westslope cutthroat trout populations throughout their range (Shepard et al. 2005).”
Comparative Thermal Requirements of Westslope Cutthroat Trout and Rainbow Trout: Implications for Species Interactions and Development of Thermal Protection Standards (2007, background): “The upper temperature tolerance limits generally correlate with the maximum temperatures associated with the lower distribution boundaries of salmonids within drainages ( Dunham et al. 2003 ).”
