| Abstract | Hybridization with introduced taxa is one of the major threats to the persistence of native biodiversity. The westslope cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarkii lewisi) is found in southeastern British Columbia and southwestern Alberta, Canada, and adjacent areas of Montana, Idaho, and Washington State, USA. Through much of this area, native populations are threatened by hybridization with introduced rainbow trout (O. mykiss). We surveyed 159 samples comprising over 5,000 fish at 10 microsatellite DNA loci to assess the level of admixture between native westslope cutthroat trout (wsct) and introduced rainbow trout in southwestern Alberta. Admixture levels (qwsct of 0 = pure rainbow trout, qwsct of 1.0 = pure westslope cutthroat trout) ranged from <0.01 to 0.99 and averaged from 0.72 to 0.99 across seven drainage areas. Regression tree analyses indicated that water temperature, elevation, distance to the nearest stocking site, and distance to the nearest railway line were significant components of a model that explained 34 % of the variation across sites in qwsct across 58 localities for which habitat variables were available. Partial dependence plots indicated that admixture with rainbow trout increased with increasing water temperature and distance to the nearest railway line, but decreased with increasing elevation and distance from stocking site to sample site. Our results support the hypothesis that westslope cutthroat trout may be less susceptible to hybridization with rainbow trout in colder, higher elevation streams, and illustrate the interaction between abiotic and anthropogenic factors in influencing hybridization between native and introduced taxa. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
