These data were compiled for a manuscript in which 1) we develop a water temperature model for the major river segments and tributaries of the Colorado River basin, including the Colorado, Green, Yampa, White, and San Juan rivers; 2) we link modeled water temperature to fish population data to predict the probability native and nonnative species will be common in the future in a warming climate; and 3) assess the degree to which dams create thermal discontinuity in summer in river segments across the western US. Per goal #1, we developed a water temperature model using data spanning 1985-2015 that predicts water temperature every 1 mile (1.6-km) in rivers both now and in the future due to the potential influence...

These data were compiled to create models that estimate entrainment rates and population growth rates of smallmouth bass below Glen Canyon Dam. Objective(s) of our study were to predict smallmouth bass entrainment rates and population growth under different future scenarios of Lake Powell elevations and management. These data represent parameters needed for associated models and data needed to produce figures. These data were collected from publicly available online sources including published papers and federal government datasets. These data were assembled by researchers from U.S. Geological Survey, Utah State University, Colorado State University, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. These data can be used to run...

Because of its relatively natural hydrograph, the Yampa River, Colorado, is considered the crown jewel of native fish habitat in the upper basin of the Colorado River and has supported a relatively intact native fish assemblage. Nonnative fishes are thought to pose the greatest threat to native fishes in this system. Removal programs for nonnative northern pike Esox lucius and channel catfish Ictalurus punctatus have highlighted managers' perception of the threat posed by each species. Recent expansion of nonnative smallmouth bass Micropterus dolomieu in the Yampa River attracted an avid angling clientele but also coincided with a precipitous decline in native fishes, necessitating a rigorous assessment of the relative...

Multiple-pass, capture-recapture sampling was conducted in most (819 river km) warm water reaches of the Green River Basin, Utah and Colorado, to estimate demographic parameters for recruit-sized (400 to 449 mm TL) and adult (> 450 mm TL) Colorado pikeminnow Ptychocheilus lucius. Three or four sampling passes were completed in each year for the Yampa, middle Green, and White River reaches (2000 to 2003), and the Desolation-Gray Canyon and lower Green River reaches (2001 to 2003).
