Video TU EBT importance
A fifteen minute video, produced by Trout Unlimited, on why brook trout are an important variable within aquatic habitats and why they are referred to as "the canary in the coal mine". This video is a great demonstration of why brook trout are important to you and me.

Seasonal streamflow extremes are key drivers of Brook Trout young-of-the-year abundance
Based on counts of Brook Trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) collected over 28 yr at 115 sites in Shenandoah National Park, we developed mixed-effects models to (1) assess how well extreme streamflow, as compared to mean flows and total precipitation, can explain young-of-the-year (YOY) abundance, (2) identify potential nonlinear relationships between seasonal environmental covariates and abundance using nonlinear generalized additive mixed models, and (3) explore likely impacts of expected future weather and streamflow conditions.

Can brook trout survive climate change in large rivers? If it rains - Merriam et al. 2017
Brook trout habitat vulnerability was assessed within an Appalachian watershed. • Increased discharge largely offset effects of increased air temperature. • No consistent loss of suitable brook trout habitat by end of 21st century • However, periods of low flow resulted in a loss of habitat at the network-scale. • Persistence of refugia below tributaries should enable metapopulation persistence.
