This study is a broad and critical review of the transdisciplinary literature on the construction
of culverts and their impacts on stream hydrology and geomorphology as well as on stream …

Fragmentation poses one of the greatest threats to freshwater fish biodiversity (Nilsson et al.,
2005; Reidy-Liermann et al., 2012). Whereas damming of large rivers is perhaps the most …

Context The cumulative impact of broad scale environmental change includes altered land-
cover and fragmentation. Both altered land-cover and fragmentation have a negative effect …

Culverts can restrict movement of stream-dwelling fish. Motivation to enter and ascend these
structures is an essential precursor for successful passage. However, motivation is …

Hyperfragmentation of rivers by anthropogenic barriers is a major threat to biodiversity.
Restoration policies are being adopted worldwide to mitigate these impacts, particularly …

The presence of dams, stream–road crossings and other infrastructure often compromises
the connectivity of rivers, leading to reduced fish abundance and diversity. The assessment …

Aim Our goal was to predict road culvert passability, as defined by culvert outlet drop and
outlet water velocity, for three fish swimming groups using remotely collected environmental …

Culverts can restrict access to habitat for stream-dwelling fishes. We used passive integrated
transponder telemetry to quantify passage performance of> 1000 wild brook trout …

Fragmentation of stream networks from anthropogenic structures such as road culverts can
affect the health of a catchment by negatively affecting the ecosystem's biota, their …

The ability of fish to swim upstream through regions of swiftly flowing water is ultimately
dependent on their physiological capacity. Swimming performance, the relationship …
