Stream morphology, water dynamics, and agrochemicals are important drivers of periphyton biomass in subtropical streams
Several factors affect periphyton biomass by acting at local and landscape levels simultaneously. Thereunder, we quantified local and land-use...

Functional morphology of prey capture in stream-dwelling sailfin silversides (Telmatherinidae) based on high-speed video recordings
Understanding how ecology shapes the evolution of morphological traits is a major goal in organismal biology. By quantifying force of motion,...

Stream Ecosystems
Many of us have spent time around and in streams and rivers but perhaps have not given much thought to the ecology and natural history of these...

Modelling complex spatial–temporal drivers of habitat suitability for an imperilled stream fish
Fish populations rely on complex environmental conditions involving physical, chemical, and biological factors. Understanding the factors that...

Morphological and functional trait divergence in endemic fish populations along the small-scale karstic stream
BackgroundOrganisms with broad distribution ranges, such as fish, often exhibit local ecological specializations based on their utilization of food...

Brain form and foraging behaviour in a stream fish
Brain form (i.e., brain size and morphology) has been linked to variation in foraging behaviour among species of fishes in lakes and oceans, such as...

Road crossings hinder the movement of a small non-migratory stream fish
Crossings between roads and streams can negatively affect fish, especially when culverts prevent free movement along the stream. Understanding this...

Climate and Environmental Variables Drive Stream Biofilm Bacterial and Fungal Diversity on Tropical Mountainsides
High mountain freshwater systems are particularly sensitive to the impacts of global warming and relevant environmental changes. Microorganisms...

The Roles of Microbes in Stream Restorations
The goods and services provided by riverine systems are critical to humanity, and our reliance increases with our growing population and demands. As...

Canopy development influences early successional stream ecosystem function but not biotic assemblages
Determining how streams develop naturally, particularly the ecological role of newly developed riparian canopy cover, is essential to understanding...

Spatial and temporal patterns of stream nutrient limitation in an Arctic catchment
Arctic stream biofilm responses to ongoing climate-related changes in physical and chemical conditions have major implications for stream food webs...
-
The role of stream restoration in enhancing ecosystem services
Striving for an integrated semi-natural stream-floodplain system as restoration target would optimally serve biodiversity and the provisioning of...

Coastal freshwater stream fish fauna from a threatened estuarine lagoon complex in northeastern Brazil
Freshwater ecosystems play a vital role in sustaining human populations; however, these environments are increasingly subject to human interference,...

Fire severity influences large wood and stream ecosystem responses in western Oregon watersheds
BackgroundWildfire is a landscape disturbance important for stream ecosystems and the recruitment of large wood (LW; LW describes wood in streams)...

Determinants of Productive Capacity for Stream Salmonids
Trout growth and production are controlled by (1) the area and quality of habitat for sequential life history stages, (2) the availability and...

Effectiveness of five different solutions for preserving aquatic insects commonly used in morphological and stream ecology studies
Sample fixation and preservation are crucial steps for biological research. This is especially true for resolving ecological changes across various...

Wing morphology of a damselfly exhibits local variation in response to forest fragmentation
Environmental differences can lead to morphologically different subpopulations. The scale of the mosaic of morphologies should help shed light on the...

Comparative Performance of the Indices Used for Bioassessment of Water Quality of Sangı Stream (West Anatolia, Turkey)
AbstractThis study has been carried out to determine water quality of Sangı Stream (West Anatolia, Turkey) and to compare the performance of indices...

Fluid dynamic properties of shark caudal fin morphology and its relationship to habitats
Locomotion is essential for the survival of fish because it influences the success rate of avoiding danger and predation. In particular, differences...

The Role of the Soundscape in the Behavioral Ecology of Stream-Dwelling Salmonids
Stream salmonids inhabit areas impacted by aerial, terrestrial, and underwater sounds which make up the holo-soundscape. Components of the...
