1 Recovering Species from a Community Perspective: Connecting Steven A. Forbes and the Endangered Species Act Hiram W. Li ORCFWRU (USGS-BRD) Department of Fisheries and Wildlife Oregon State University Lake as a Microcosm In order to manage largemouth bass you have to understand how the lake functions. 1

9 Recovery of Osprey What do we need to know? Fish in trouble are not adapted to their environment. Environmental states? Patterns of habitat use? Relation of use to habitat quality? Physiological sensitivity? Changes in community interactions? Does stream succession follow riparian succession? 9

10 Line-up of Usual Suspects Habitat loss Novel physical environments toxins barriers (culverts, dams) altered flow and temperature regimes Novel biotic environments disease prevalence & susceptibility exotic species community interaction changes. What do we know? Aside from salmonids, not very much! 10
