Modeling Populations of Adaptive Individuals
"This book offers a new theory for modeling how organisms make tradeoff decisions and how these decisions affect both individuals and populations. Tradeoff decisions (or behaviors) are those that are optimize survival and include behaviors like foraging and reproduction. Existing theories have not painted a complete picture of tradeoff decisions because they only observe how the decisions of an individual affect them rather than how individuals impact, and are impacted by, the behavior of their communities. The authors' theory-which they call state and prediction based theory-uses individual-based models since these models show the complex ways that organisms relate to their environment. The...
Simulation Analysis of Within-day Flow Fluctuation Effects on Trout Below Flaming Gorge Dam
In addition to being renewable, hydropower has the advantage of allowing rapid load-following, in that the generation rate can easily be varied within a day to match the demand for power. However, the flow fluctuations that result from load-following can be controversial, in part because they may affect downstream fish populations. At Flaming Gorge Dam, located on the Green River in northeastern Utah, concern has been raised about whether flow fluctuations caused by the dam disrupt feeding at a tailwater trout fishery, as fish move in response to flow changes and as the flow changes alter the amount or timing of the invertebrate drift that trout feed on. Western Area Power Administration (We...
InSTREAM 7 User Manual
InSTREAM is a simulation model designed to support river management decisions. InSTREAM 7 is a major revision of the individual-based stream trout model we developed and have used for over 20 years. This user manual provides background information on inSTREAM and its purposes, a complete description of the model formulation, a software guide, and guidance on applying the model. InSTREAM is designed to predict how stream trout populations respond to habitat alteration including altered flow, temperature, and turbidity regimes and changes in channel morphology. The model represents individual trout, with population responses emerging from how individuals are affected by their habitat and by ea...
Frequency Analysis of Aquatic Habitat
"Minimum flow recommendations can be improved by analyzing the natural habitat variability in lotic environments. Habitat modeling techniques such as the Incremental Methodology can be combined with stream flow records to generate habitat frequency curves that are useful in determining instream flow needs."--Abstract.
