二．Characterizing landscape influences on stream fish assemblages

1．主讲教师：William Fetzer博士  密歇根州立大学鱼类与野生动物学系

2．授课内容：

Previous knowledge expected: Some exposure to stream ecology; some familiarity with multivariate statistical analyses (although analyses will not be required to participate in this course).

Course description: This is a lecture- and discussion-based course that will describe applications of the landscape approach for understanding influences on stream habitats and the organisms they support. The course will describe the evolution of current understanding of stream ecology as informed by the landscape approach, including hierarchical relationships among landscape factors, stream habitat characteristics, and stream organisms. We will explore current research directions related to understanding landscape influences on streams, as well as select applications that rely on large, landscape data sets including modeling efforts, classification, assessment, and conservation planning. We will also cover availability of and limitations to large datasets for conducting landscape-scale analyses.  Finally, we will consider a case study of the application of the landscape approach in detail, a national assessment of fish habitats being conducted for the National Fish Habitat Partnership in the United States.  Participants will be asked to evaluate strengths and limitations of this work from the perspective of regional stakeholders charged with conservation of stream fishes.

Course objectives: After successful course completion, participants will be able to:

Describe the evolution of the landscape approach; describe emerging and evolving ideas related to research and application of the landscape approach.

• Understand the role of large-scale datasets for characterizing current and future conditions of streams.
• Describe the National Fish Habitat Partnership, goals for national assessment, the role of stakeholder involvement.
•  
• Understand challenges related to managing and conserving streams from current and future threats.
