• Spread of hybridization between native westslope cutthroat trout, Oncorhynchus clarki lewisi, and nonnative rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss (2003, background): “Over 95% of the stream segments above this elevation are less than 8 km in length, a distance unlikely to support isolated populations of cutthroat trout ( Hilderbrand and Kershner 2000 ).”
• Strategies for conserving native salmonid populations at risk from nonnative fish invasions: tradeoffs in using barriers to upstream movement (2006, background): “…thresholds have been proposed as sufficient to maintain genetic diversity (n=500) and long-term evolutionary potential (n=5000; Allendorf and others 1997, Hilderbrand and Kershner 2000, Young and Harig 2001), rather than simply to ensure relatively short-term persistence (that is, 50 to 100 years).”
• Biology, Status, and Management of the Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout (2011, background): “…recent research suggests that movement (migratory and nonmigratory) of cutthroat trout is common in headwater streams (Young et al. 1997; Peterson and Fausch 2003; Gresswell and Hendricks 2007) during a variety of seasons (Young 1996; Hilderbrand and Kershner 2000a; Lindstrom and Hubert 2004).”
• Unintended consequences and trade-offs of fish passage (2013, background): “Nature of threat Species blocked Target of threat Geographic location Source Predation and/or competition Sea lamprey Petromyzon marinus Lake trout and large native and desirable introduced species Great Lakes Hunn and Youngs (1980), Freeman and Bowerman (2002), Hayes et al. (2003), Clarkson (2004) ”
• Local Habitat, Watershed, and Biotic Factors Influencing the Spread of Hybridization between Native Westslope Cutthroat Trout and Introduced Rainbow Trout (2009, background): “Consequently, many remaining populations are restricted to small, fragmented headwater habitats, where the long-term sustainability of these populations is uncertain (Hilderbrand and Kershner 2000).”
• Population structure and genetic diversity of trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) above and below natural and man-made barriers in the Russian River, California (2007, background): “Additionally, these populations almost certainly contain smaller numbers of individuals than those from below barriers because of the limited amount of habitat available (Hilderbrand and Kershner 2000).”
• Potential Consequences of Climate Change to Persistence of Cutthroat Trout Populations (2009, methodology): “For small stream populations, we followed persistence criteria of Hilderbrand and Kershner (2000), who combined the amount of available stream habitat with population density to determine whether populations met the goal of 2,500 individuals (.75 mm), which corresponds to a frequently targeted…”
