No quarter: Lack of refuge during flow intermittency results in catastrophic mortality of an imperiled minnow

TP Archdeacon, JK Reale - Freshwater biology, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
Many once‐perennial rivers have become intermittent. Channel drying can result in fish
mortality if refuges are not available. Understanding where refuges occur and if fishes use …
