[HTML][HTML] Living on the edge: Reservoirs facilitate enhanced interactions among generalist and rheophilic fish species in tributaries
Most lotic ecosystems have been heavily modified in recent centuries to serve human
needs, for example, by building dams to form reservoirs. However, reservoirs have major …

Groundwater declines are linked to changes in Great Plains stream fish assemblages
Groundwater pumping for agriculture is a major driver causing declines of global freshwater
ecosystems, yet the ecological consequences for stream fish assemblages are rarely …

Extreme drought causes fish recruitment failure in a fragmented Great Plains riverscape
Dryland stream fishes are adapted to highly connected habitats with unpredictable
hydrologic conditions, including frequent low flows and sometimes extreme drought. The low …

Functional strategies drive community assembly of stream fishes along environmental gradients and across spatial scales
Trade-offs among functional traits produce multi-trait strategies that shape species'
interactions with the environment and drive the assembly of local communities from regional …

Modelling and mapping the distribution, diversity and abundance of freshwater mussels (Family Unionidae) in wadeable streams of Illinois, USA
Freshwater mussels are one of the most imperilled animal groups in the world. Their
effective conservation and restoration require a better understanding of their spatial …

Contrasting fundamental and realized niches: two fishes with similar thermal performance curves occupy different thermal habitats
S Allen-Ankins, RJ Stoffels - Freshwater Science, 2017 - journals.uchicago.edu
Human alteration of thermal regimes of freshwater ecosystems is creating an urgent need to
understand how freshwater ectotherms will fare under different thermal futures. Two key …

Functional biogeography of fluvial fishes across the conterminous USA: Assessing the generalisability of trait–environment relationships over large regions
Compared to taxonomic approaches, traits‐based approaches are often implemented to
gain a more mechanistic understanding of how biotic communities respond to changing …

Species richness of mussel assemblages and trait guilds in relation to environment and fish diversity in streams of Illinois, the USA
Fish hosts are critical for freshwater mussels. However, correlation between mussel and fish
species richness (SR) is variable. Here, we examine how the environment affects this …
