AO(NOWLEDGNENTS We could not have begun to assemble this publication without past help and support of many individuals and agencies. The Bureau of Reclamation funded the lion's share of the work, but U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Bureau of Land Management, Arizona Department of Game and Fish, and California Department of Fish and Game monies also supported some studies. We owe a deep appreciation and thanks to Bureau of Reclamation Regional Director, the late Mr. Ed Lundberg, for his foresight and environmental concern relative to bringing the Bureau into compliance with environmental laws. His Environmental Specialists, Mr. Phillip Sharpe and his staff, were supportive and encouraged us throughout our efforts. Our knowledge of this ecosystem would have been miniscule without their help and support. To our many field biologists, secretaries, computer programmers, and others we express our deepest gratitude. Blood, sweat, tears, and time were unsel- fishly given by these dedicated people to help in learning and understanding more of this complex riparian ecosystem. We would like to extend our appreciation to the following individuals for the logistical and editorial efforts: Judy Hohman, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service; Dr. Gerald C. Horak, TGS Technology, Inc.; William G. Kepner, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service; Robert Leidy, Environmental Protection Agency Proj- ect Officer, Region IX; W.L. Minckley, Arizona State University; Ed Pendleton, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service; John Peters, Environmental Protection Agency; and Charles Segelquist, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Rough and final copies of the manuscript and most of the figures were pre- pared by Mrs. Cindy D. Zisner. Her word processing, editing, and illustrative skills are deeply appreciated, and were instrumental In completing the work. Any errors or omissions are the responsibility of the authors. xvi
