  • Crayfishes of the Cheat River Watershed in West Virginia and Pennsylvania

    Crayfishes of the Cheat River Watershed in West Virginia and Pennsylvania

    CRAYFISHES OF THE CHEAT RIVER WATERSHED IN WEST VIRGINIA AND PENNSYLVANIA. PART II. OBSERVATIONS UPON ECOLOGICAL FACTORS RELATING TO DISTRIBUTION1 FRANK J. SCHWARTZ AND WILLIAM G. MEREDITH Chesapeake Biological Laboratory, Solomons, Maryland and Ml. St. Mary's College, Emmittsburg, Maryland Schwartz and Meredith (1960) presented as Part I the localities and species of crayfishes (Decapoda) currently found throughout the Cheat River watershed of West Virginia and Pennsylvania. These records indicated that two species, Cambarus bartoni and Orconectes obscurus, now occupy the Cheat system. Litera- ture records occur for Cambarus bartoni carinirostris (Faxon, 1914; Ortmann, 1931) and Cambarus carolinus (Ortmann, 1931) in addition to the forms mentioned. Bick et al. (1953) have reviewed the meager literature relating to the ecology of acid mine streams. Bowden (1961) has called attention to the effects of strip mines on faunal ecologies. The former have also shown the detrimental effects to the fauna and ecology of a Louisiana acid stream after it was altered by channel dredging. A casual scanning of the data will reveal peculiarities in the distributions of the present species. C. bartoni, although taken at 138 stations of the 233 sampled (fig. 1), is absent today from the central portion and a number of the tributaries of the Cheat system. The greatest number of collections was made in the head- waters of the system. 0. obscurus (fig. 2) occurs in only a few of the lower elevation streams, and was absent from the headwaters and central zone of the watershed. C. b. carinirostris (fig. 1), a species once described from the Cheat system and whose center of abundance was believed to be in the Cheat system streams of Randolph, Tucker, and Pocahontas counties (Faxon, 1914), was not found during the present study.
  • Upper Mon River Trail

    Upper Mon River Trail

    Upper Monongahela River Water Trail Map and Guide Water trails are recreational waterways on a lake, river, or ocean between specific locations, containing access points and day-use and/or camping sites for the boating public. Water trails emphasize low-impact use and promote stewardship of the resources. Explore this unique West Virginia and Pennsylvania water trail. For your safety and enjoyment: Always wear a life jacket. Obtain proper instruction in boating skills. Know fishing and boating regulations. Be prepared for river hazards. Carry proper equipment. THE MONONGAHELA RIVER The Monongahela River, locally know as “the Mon,” forms at the confluence of the Tygart and West Fork Rivers in Fairmont West Virginia. It flows north 129 miles to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where it joins the Allegheny River to form the Ohio River. The upper section, which is described in this brochure, extends 68 miles from Fairmont to Maxwell Lock and Dam in Pennsylvania. The Monongahela River formed some 20 million years ago. When pioneers first saw the Mon, there were many places where they could walk across it. The Native American named the river “Monongahela,” which is said to mean “river with crumbling or falling banks.” The Mon is a hard-working river. It moves a large amount of water, sediment, and freight. The average flow at Point Marion is 4,300 cubic feet per second. The elevation on the Upper Mon ranges from 891 feet in Fairmont to 763 feet in the Maxwell Pool. PLANNING A TRIP Trips on the Mon may be solitary and silent, or they may provide encounters with motor boats and water skiers or towboats moving barges of coal or limestone.

The Natural History & Distribution of Riverine Turtles in West Virginia Thesis submitted to the Graduate College of Marshall University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Biological Sciences By Linh Diem Phu Dr. Thomas K. Pauley, Ph.D., Committee Chairperson Dr. Dan Evans, Ph.D. Dr. Suzanne Strait, Ph.D. Marshall University May 2010 Abstract Turtles are unique evolutionary marvels that evolved from amphibians and developed their protective shelled form more than 200 million years ago. In West Virginia, there are 10 native species of turtles, 9 of which are aquatic. Most of these aquatic turtles feed on carrion and dead plant matter, in the water and essentially "clean" our water systems. Turtles are long-lived animals with sensitive life stages that can serve as both long-term and short-term bioindicators of environmental health. With the increase in commercial trade, habitat fragmentation, degradation, destruction, there has been a marked decline in turtle species.
