Climate change is predicted to increase water temperatures in many lotic systems, but little
is known about how changes in air temperature affect lotic systems heavily influenced by …

Smallmouth bass in thermally heterogeneous streams may behaviourally thermoregulate
during the cold period (ie, groundwater temperature greater than river water temperature) by …

Aim Stream fish distributions are hypothesized to be strongly associated with landscape
characteristics at multiple scales. Variation in flow regimes and intensity of landscape …

Perceived predation risks by terrestrial predators are major ecological forces in aquatic
systems, particularly for aggregating fish. Riverscape thermal refuges are discrete, localized …

Stream temperature controls a number of biological, chemical, and physical processes
occurring in aquatic environments. Transient snow cover and advection associated with …

River floodplains are heterogeneous landscapes composed of a mosaic of aquatic and
terrestrial habitats. While flow has frequently been considered as a master variable that …

How salmonids adjust to the cost of chronic exposure to warm water in nature, particularly in
habitats where areas of cold water are unavailable, is largely unknown. In the hot dry climate …

Elevated stream temperature is a primary factor limiting the coho salmon (Oncorhynchus
kisutch) population in California's Shasta River Basin. Understanding the mechanisms …

Many salmonid species exist in highly structured and isolated populations, and are
susceptible to habitat fragmentation and disturbances. Gila Trout (Oncorhynchus gilae) is a …

In the context of global warming, river management is essential to maintain favourable water
temperature ranges for aquatic species. Therefore, understanding the main factors …
