Science Brief for Resource Managers: Metacommunity Dynamics of Gila River Fishes Description: The upper Gila River in New Mexico is one of the few unobstructed rivers in the Colorado River Basin with largely intact native fish populations, including four federally listed and one state listed species.Freshwater systems throughout the West continue to be threatened by human encroachment and water development. Methodologies or decision support tools to evaluate resource management practices that foster an understanding of how fish species adapt to the effects of climate change are critical to future resource management planning.

New analytical approaches are providing improved ability to predict the effects of landscape change on population connectivity at vast spatial extents. This paper presents an analysis of population connectivity for three species of conservation concern [swift fox (Vulpes velox); lesser prairie-chicken (Tympanuchus pallidicinctus); massasuaga (Sistrurus catenatus)] across the American Great Plains region. We used factorial least-cost path and resistant kernel analyses to predict effects of landscape conditions on corridor network connectivity.

Chelan and Skagit Counties, Washington. 1928. Album caption: South Cascade Glacier, North Cascade Range. Photo no. 8 was taken presumably in the autumn of 1928. Photo no. 9 was taken September 23, 1965. Note that the transient snowline is very near the same position in 1965 as in 1928, so that accumulation areas for both years are similar in size. The higher altitude glaciers and perennial snowfields shown in these photos have changed very little in size. However, because the exposed ice areas below the equilibrium line were much larger in 1928, ice loss would be much greater in 1928 than in 1965 even with similar meteorological conditions. Most of the mass loss in the 1928-65 interval occurred below the present equilibrium line. Chelan and Skagit Counties,...
