| Title | Fauna of Yosemite National Park lakes has low resistance but high resilience to fish introductions |
| Creator | Knapp, R. A. Hawkins, Charles P. Ladau, J. Garton, J. A. |
| Description | The ratio of the number of taxa observed at a site to that expected to occur in the absence of anthropogenic impacts (O/E) is an ecologically meaningful measure of the degree of faunal alteration. We used O/E ratios to describe the response by amphibian, reptile, benthic macroinvertebrate, and zooplankton taxa in originally fishless lakes in Yosemite National Park to the introduction and subsequent disappearance of nonnative fish. To quantify resistance (the degree to which a system is... |
