Jason B Dunham
I am a Supervisory Research Ecologist at the Forest and Rangeland Ecosystem Science Center in Corvallis, Oregon
My research is focused on landscape ecology of aquatic ecosystems, conservation biology of focal species, ecology of natural disturbance, biological invasions, and monitoring.

Multi-scale relationships in thermal limits within and between two cold-water frog species uncover different trends in physiological vulnerability
Estimating streamflow permanence with the watershed erosion prediction project model: Implications for surface water presence modeling and data collection
Vulnerability to climate change of managed stocks in the California Current large marine ecosystem
Evolutionary and ecological connectivity in westslope cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarkii lewisi) and mountain whitefish (Prosopium williamsoni) in relation to the potential influences of Boundary Dam, Washington, Idaho, and parts of British Columbia
Tough places and safe spaces: Can refuges save salmon from a warming climate?
Passage of adult coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) over Lake Creek Falls, Oregon, 2019
Across the Pacific Northwest, there are many examples of artificial structures created to allow passage of upstream-migrating salmon over natural barriers. We studied upstream passage across three structures installed in 1989 to allow passage of salmon over Lake Creek Falls, a series of three natural waterfalls at the outlet of Triangle Lake on Lake Creek, in the central Oregon Coast Range (lat 12
Influence of riparian thinning on trophic pathways supporting stream food webs in forested watersheds
Engaging stakeholders to develop a decision support model of conservation risk and management capacity to prioritize investments in Bull Trout recovery
Resist, accept, and direct responses to biological invasions: A social–ecological perspective
Dammed water quality — Longitudinal stream responses below beaver ponds in the Umpqua River Basin, Oregon
Stream size, temperature, and density explain body sizes of freshwater salmonids across a range of climate conditions
Controlling invasive fish in fluctuating environments: Model analysis of common carp (Cyprinus carpio) in a shallow lake
