Spatial distribution and ecological relationships of stream fishes in Iowa's Driftless Area

Abstract

I want to thank my committee chair, Michael Weber, and my committee members, Clay Pierce, and Stephen Dinsmore, for their guidance and mentorship during my studies here at Iowa State University. I would also like to thank Michael Siepker, with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, for his assistance with the project design and implementation. None of this project would have been possible without partial funding from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Iowa Department of Natural Resources. Others within Trout Unlimited and the University of Wisconsin at Stevens Point, are deserving of recognition for their assistance with various aspects of project completion.
