Regime change in a large-floodplain river ecosystem: patterns in body-size and functional biomass indicate a shift in fish communities
Changes in species dominance may drive regime shifts because dominant biotic feedbacks reflect functional traits of a community. Changes in species...

Acute exposure of larval rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) to elevated temperature limits hsp70b expression and influences future thermotolerance
As poikilotherms, fish health is compromised by exposure to elevated temperatures (e.g. climate change-related warming, anthropogenic thermal...

Behavioral observations of bonefish (Albula vulpes) during prespawning aggregations in the Bahamas: clues to identifying spawning sites that can drive broader conservation efforts
Bonefish are typically thought of as ‘flats fish’ that reside in shallow, tropical and subtropical nearshore coastal waters. However, evidence from...
