“…For example, within the clade associated with the present Columbia River basin (excluding the White River) where there may have been opportunities for gene flow, the gains and losses of alleles associated with different geographical groups (Figure 3) may not entirely reflect historical patterns of vicariance. However, the correlation between the geological history of Harney Basin, Fort Rock Basin, and the White River and the differentiation of their fishes (Bisson and Bond 1971;Allison 1979;Currens et al 1990) supported a very early divergence of the isolated redband trout of these areas from redband trout of the Columbia River.…”

“…Columbia River rainbow trout included all the major evolutionary groups within the extant Columbia River and Harney basins (Figures 2, 3). Although they are currently isolated and have diverged from inland redband trout of the Columbia River (Figures 3, 4), Harney Basin redband trout were almost certainly linked to Columbia River populations in the past, probably through multiple hydrographic connections with Snake River or mid-Columbia River tributaries (Piper et al 1939;Bisson and Bond 1971). Most fish of Harney Basin are typical Columbia or Snake River species (Snyder 1908a;Minckley et al 1986;Markle and Hill 2000), although Hubbs and Miller (1948) hypothesized that substantial isolation had led to four or five endemic subspecies.…”

We examined genetic differences at 29 enzyme encoding loci among 10,541 rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss from 240 collections throughout the species' range, including redband trout (i.e., several rainbow trout subspecies) in pluvial lake basins of the northern Great Basin that have had largely internal drainage with no connection to the Pacific Ocean. Differences among groups accounted for 29.2% of the genetic variation. Although we observed major genetic differences between coastal and inland groups (10.7%), which are currently considered to represent the major phylogenetic division in the species, we found that the greatest evolutionary divergence (19.7%) was related to persistence of three major river systems: the upper Sacramento, Klamath, and Columbia rivers. Genetic traits of redband trout from the northern Great Basin, where we found distinct subspecies or races, indicated that over millennia these pluvial habitats were sources of evolutionary diversity associated with large river systems rather than completely isolated refugia. However, redband trout did not constitute a distinct monophyletic group. Based on our data, redband trout of the Goose Lake, Warner Valley, and Chewaucan basins were distinct genetic races that were part of the diverse complex of Sacramento redband trout O. mykiss stonei. Harney Basin redband trout were a unique genetic race most closely associated with Columbia River redband trout O. mykiss gairdneri. White River and Fort Rock redband trout were associated with the Columbia River but showed allelic divergence comparable with that among other subspecies. Upper Klamath Lake rainbow trout included a previously unrecognized group associated with populations in the headwaters of the basin and a different subspecies from type locations for Upper Klamath Lake redband trout O. mykiss newberrii (i.e., Upper Klamath Lake and the upper Klamath River). The relationship of redband trout from the Catlow Valley to any of these other groups remained unresolved.

“…The fish fauna of the Malheur basin is little differentiated from the Columbia River fauna, suggesting a rather broad and geologically recent connection of ancient Malheur Lake to the Malheur River (Columbia basin). Bisson and Bond (1971) also discussed probable transfers offish from the upper John Day River (Columbia basin) into the Malheur basin. The redband trout of the Malheur basin was probably originally differentiated from the redband trout of contiguous Columbia River basin waters by higher numbers of gillrakers.…”

Descriptions are given for several unnamed subspecies, but formal taxonomic nomenclature is not proposed in this monograph. The monograph is not a formal publication, and any names proposed would be without taxonomic validity. Some of these unnamed forms were given scientific manes in Ernest Schwiebert's two-volume work, "Trout", published in 1978. Schwiebert's proposed names, however, were published with color plates of the fish and did not include formal descriptions. According to the rules of international zoological nomenclature, names published without descriptions are not valid, but are called "nomen nudems", or "naked names". The illustrations of coastal cutthrout trout were prepared for the Needham and Behnke manuscript. The illustrations of the Colorado River cutthroat trout, the greenback cutthroat trout and the Gila and Apache trouts are modified from Behnke and Zarn (1976). The fine-spotted Snake River cutthroat trout illustration is from the thesis of Roscoe (1974), and the illustration of the extinct yellowfin trout is adapted from Jordan and Evermann (1902). The other fish illustrations were drawn from specimens. Mrs. Joan Dorman assisted in the preparation of the illustrations.

“…Haplotype MYS22 was observed only in the Harney Basin population and was represented in 82.4% of individuals. The iso-1085 APPARENT ANCIENT HYBRIDIZATION lation of this population from steelhead and rainbow trout 15,000 years ago (Bisson and Bond 1971) is probably the cause of the observed dominance of this haplotype. The remaining five new haplotypes (MYS23, MYS24, MYS25, MYS26, and MYS27) were rare and found in only seven individuals from throughout the lower Snake River system (Table 2).…”

Seventeen populations of Oncorhynchus mykiss were analyzed for mitochondrial haplotype diversity through either polymerase chain reaction–restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis or mitochondrial DNA sequencing. Six new mitochondrial haplotypes were observed among these populations, five in steelhead and one in Harney Basin rainbow trout. Although no distinct patterns were observed between steelhead and rainbow trout with mitochondrial DNA sequencing, Harney Basin rainbow trout populations from southeastern Oregon exhibited a high frequency of a unique new haplotype designated MYS22. Fourteen of 17 individuals within the Harney Basin rainbow trout populations possessed this haplotype. Additionally, the mitochondrial DNA haplotypes of six westslope cutthroat trout O. clarki lewisi were observed among 90 steelhead from the Tucannon River, Washington, a river in which no native or introduced cutthroat trout have been documented. Analysis of other introduced hatchery and wild stocks of steelhead and rainbow trout from throughout the interior Pacific Northwest revealed only rainbow trout and steelhead mitochondrial haplotypes. Analysis of 90 wild Tucannon River steelhead using 16 nuclear DNA markers detected only one individual with a single nuclear allele consistent with westslope cutthroat trout, although the marker may be a rare rainbow trout or steelhead nuclear allele. This suggests that a hybridization event of ancient origin probably occurred within the Tucannon River basin. This hybridization event may have occurred between Tucannon River steelhead and a now extinct native population of westslope cutthroat trout that probably arrived as a result of late Wisconsin glacial outburst floods (Missoula Floods) occurring 19,000–10,000 years before the present.
