(Island)

75

Cladocera, Copepoda, Ostracoda

71

Data provided by J. Havel. Scours formed when the Missouri River flooded and breached levees (1993). Connected scours were considered as “local” due to river flow.

Data provided by J. Havel. Scours were formed in 1993 when Missouri River breached levees. All scours considered “regional” due to varying connectivity to the river.
