Flow intermittence is a major disturbance for riverine fishes. Many species of fishes that
evolved in naturally intermittent streams have specialized adaptations to survive drought …

Objective Three competing hypotheses might explain the widely documented
intrapopulation larger‐fish‐upstream phenomenon. The age‐phased recruitment hypothesis …

Background Movement information can improve conservation of imperiled species, yet
movement is not quantified for many organisms in need of conservation. Prairie chub …

Background Unfettered movement among habitats is crucial for fish to access patchily
distributed resources and complete their life cycle, but many riverscapes in the American …

Colder water temperatures are generally regarded as a stressful period for fishes (ie, winter
stress syndrome), which can be exacerbated by cold‐shock stress associated with major …

Fragmentation of rivers by dams affects riverine fish occurrence globally. In the Great Plains
of North America, the reproductive guild of fishes known as pelagic-broadcast spawning …

Among numerous concerns, restoration ecologists are routinely plagued with the problem of
where to implement conservation efforts to best maintain spatial connectivity and population …

Objective A central challenge in applied ecology is understanding how organisms are
spatially and temporally distributed and how management might be tailored to maintain or …

The Macrhybopsis aestivalis complex (nine recognized species of small-bodied, riverine
cyprinids) is predicted to have diversified allopatrically in response to prehistoric …

Understanding how fish respond to drought and streamflow intermittency is important for
designing effective conservation actions. Fish could move to refuge areas prior to …
