Title Maintaining Population Persistence in the Face of an Extremely Altered Hydrograph: Implications for Three Sensitive Fishes in a Tributary of the Green River, Utah
Creator Bottcher, Jared L.
Description The ability of an organism to disperse to suitable habitats, especially in modified and fragmented systems, determines individual fitness and overall population viability. The bluehead sucker (Catostomus discobolus), flannelmouth sucker (Catostomus latipinnis), and roundtail chub (Gila robusta) are three species native to the upper Colorado River Basin that now occupy only 50% of their historic range.
