The 'wet–dry'in the wet–dry tropics drives river ecosystem structure and processes in northern Australia
Northern Australia is characterised by a tropical wet–dry climate that regulates the distinctive
character of river flow regimes across the region. There is marked hydrological seasonality …

Gut content and stable isotope analyses provide complementary understanding of ontogenetic dietary shifts and trophic relationships among fishes in a tropical river
Despite widespread recognition of the role of body size in fish trophic ecology, little attention
has been focused on this issue in isotopic studies, particularly in tropical systems. 2. We …
