Sierra Nevada Aquatic Research Laboratory

24 Jul, 08 AM - 31 Aug, 03 AM

The purpose of my proposal is to quantify alpine Sierran aquatic-to-terrestrial ecosystem subsidies, and how such subsidies are affected as a result of the presence of non-native fish. I propose to do this by examining the indirect effects of non-native species on the structure of both resource-donor and resource-recipient ecosystems; specifically by studying how introduced trout alter lake-derived resources (i.e. invertebrates) exploited by passerine bird populations (Gray-crowned rosy finches). My study site is located in the Sierra National Forest and in Kings Canyon National Park. My study sites are not within VESR land holdings. I would like to use the housing facilities at SNARL when I am not in the field. This request is for housing at SNARL for a total of four people. Two people will arrive on June 1, and two people will arrive on June 15. We will all depart on August 31.
