Drought is a constant and important consequence of natural climatic processes and most
freshwater fishes have adaptations to counter its effects. However, a changing global climate …

Empirical relationships between stream flow and ecological responses (flow–ecology
relationships) are essential for establishing environmental flows and evaluating tradeoffs …

Alterations to the natural flow regime affect the structure and function of rivers and wetlands
and contribute to loss of biodiversity worldwide. Although the effects of flow regulation have …

Low flows in Canadian streams and rivers can occur in both summer and winter and can be
stressful for fish and other aquatic biota. Low flows can cause a reduction in habitat …

A 5 year individual‐based data set was used to estimate size‐specific survival rates in a wild
brook trout Salvelinus fontinalis population in a stream network encompassing a mainstem …

Modelling the effects of climate change on freshwater fishes requires robust field‐based
estimates accounting for interactions among multiple factors. 2. We used data from an 8 …

Groundwater use can reduce streamflow by reducing groundwater flows into streams and/or
increasing losses from the stream into the aquifer ('streamflow depletion'). Streamflow …

Expansion of natural gas drilling into the Marcellus Shale formation is an emerging threat to
the conservation and restoration of native brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) populations …

Adaptive trade-offs define the trait combinations that differentiate taxa and allow coexistence
along environmental gradients. To understand the physiological trade-offs associated with …

High-mountain lakes are pristine ecosystems characterized by extreme environmental
conditions. The atmospheric transport of pollutants from lowlands may add further stress to …
