Biography
Dr. Vondracek received a BS and MS in Zoology from the University of Wisconsin and a PhD in Ecology from the University of California-Davis. . Dr. Vondracek's research interests include stream ecology, stream restoration, and land use effects on aquatic communities focused onunderstanding the mechanisms that influence fish and invertebrate assemblages is important to predict how aquatic systems have responded and will respond to impacts both natural and human induced. Over the past several years, he has examined the interaction across management practices, water quality, and fish and invertebrate assemblages in agricultural and forested settings to assess ecosystem health or biological integrity in relation to land use practices, especially in riparian systems. . Dr. Vondracek currently teaches two graduate-level classes: How to Excel in Graduate School and Fish Habitats and Restoration. An overview of some of the important considerations to make getting a graduate degree as painless as possible. The "How to Excel" course is designed to provide students with some tools to complete a graduate degree efficiently and in a timely fashion and includes: Time management during graduate school; write a proposal to submit to an appropriate funding agency; learn strategies for writing a thesis or dissertation and conducting research successfully; gain a basic understanding of the history and philosophy of science. The "Fish Habitats" course covers a diversity of current topics in...

Relative position of brown trout in winter food webs of groundwater-dominated streams using stable isotope analysis. Midwest Fish and Wildlife Conference, 26-29 January 2014, Kansas City, Missouri. Summer interactions of stream-dwelling brown trout Salmo trutta within food webs have been frequently studied; however, relatively little is known during winter within food webs. Groundwater may increase the availability of potential prey and create more favorable foraging conditions for trout by maintaining relatively warm winter temperatures. We used stable isotope analysis to examine the relative position of brown trout in the aquatic food webs of 13 streams across the Driftless Ecoregion of southeastern Minnesota. Two tissue types with differing turnover rates (fin and mucus) were used to examine temporal, and spatial variation in relative food web position of brown trout. Although relative food web position varied both temporally and by individual, brown trout stable isotope signatures indicated aquatic invertebrates were likely the predominant prey source. Additionally, brown trout may have used a combination of allochthonous and autochthonous derived resources within the winter aquatic food web. | January 2014 |
