Production of biomass is central to the ecology and sustainability of fish assemblages. The goal of this study was to empirically estimate and compare fish assemblage production, production-to-biomass (P/B) ratios and species composition for 25 second- to third-order streams spanning the Appalachian Mountains (from Vermont to North Carolina) that v...

... In advance of the 10-year comprehensive review and revision deadline, USFWS sent a letter to state fish and wildlife agencies with guidance for review and revision of the Plans (USFWS 2007 Using this guidance, NCWRC staff worked collaboratively with climate scientists and biologists to evaluate how climate change may affect North Carolina's wildlife and habitats. The findings were published in 2010 in the report Understanding the Impacts of Climate Change on Fish and Wildlife in North Carolina (DeWan et al. 2010) and were presented at a September 2010 Climate Impacts Workshop hosted by NCWRC in Raleigh. The Executive Summary can be found in Appendix B and the entire report is available for download as a PDF document from the following web page: www.ncwildlife.org/Plan/Revision/ ...
The N.C. Wildlife Action Plan (WAP) is a comprehensive planning tool developed by the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission to help conserve and enhance the state’s full array of fish and wildlife species and their habitats. It was developed in cooperation with numerous partners, including federal and state agencies, conservation organizations, and stakeholders. The Commission worked with teams of expert biologists statewide to identify fish and wildlife species of greatest conservation need (SGCN) and other species for which there are knowledge gap or management concern priorities. North Carolina’s 2015 WAP describes 17 river basins and 40 types of aquatic, wetland, and terrestrial natural communities found across the state that provide important habitat to fish and wildlife. The plan matches each SGCN to the habitat type or river basin where it is found, identifies the most important threats facing each habitat, and details the priority conservation actions required to protect and conserve these species and habitats.
... The anticipated effects of climate change on some species include shifting distributions, changes in abundance, delayed or advanced migration events, altered sex ratios, changes in a variety of interspecific interactions, and many more. These kinds of changes have already been seen in a variety of taxa all over the globe (Sala et al. 2000, Schneider and Root 2002, Walther et al. 2002, Parmesan and Yohe 2003, Root et al. 2003, Parmesan and Galbraith 2004, Lawler et al. 2006, Lawler et al. 2009, DeWan et al. 2010, Glick et al. 2011. ...
