Why does the relationship between benthic primary production and lake morphometry vary regionally?
Benthic primary production varies among lakes from 1 to 2000+ mg C m − 2 d − 1 , in part owing to variations in basin shape. First principles predict an...

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...

Mitigating the cumulative effects of hydropower and climate change on riverine fishes
Human-induced climate change is already apparent through warming temperatures, altered precipitation, and greater prevalence of extreme weather...

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...

Waters of Ireland and the UK
Cold-water coral ecosystems in Irish and UK waters, particularly those created by framework-building scleractinian corals, are relatively well...

Water Quality Index: An Important Tool to Assess Water Quality of Lake Waters for Sustainable Development
Water is undoubtedly the most important natural resource as life is nurtured with this “Universal solvent”. Because of the high-speed development of...

Habitat niche dynamics of the sicklefin redhorse: a southern Appalachian Mountain habitat specialist
Historically, suckers (Catostomidae) have been largely neglected in conservation efforts. Due to pervasive lotic habitat degradation and loss...

Societal importance of Antarctic negative feedbacks on climate change: blue carbon gains from sea ice, ice shelf and glacier losses
Diminishing prospects for environmental preservation under climate change are intensifying efforts to boost capture, storage and sequestration...

Polar Meiofauna—Antipoles or Parallels?
At opposite ends of our world lie the poles. In the North, the Arctic, an ocean surrounded by coasts; in the South, the Antarctic continent...

Dispersal distance is driven by habitat availability and reproductive success in Northern Great Plains pi** plovers
BackgroundDispersal is a critical life history strategy that has important conservation implications, particularly for at-risk species with active...

Communities of culturable freshwater fungi present in Antarctic lakes and detection of their low-temperature-active enzymes
We evaluated the diversity and enzymatic activities of culturable fungi recovered from cotton baits submerged for 2 years in Hennequin Lake, King...

Biogeography of Beringian fishes after the molecular revolution and into the post-genomics era
Significant progress in our knowledge of Beringian biodiversity and in the technologies available for biodiversity research has been made in the...

Restoring geomorphic integrity in urban streams via mechanistically-based storm water management: minimizing excess sediment transport capacity
Stream channel erosion, enlargement, and habitat degradation are ubiquitous in urban watersheds with conventional stormwater management that increase...

Freshwater mussel populations in Pacific Coast Watersheds (Oregon, USA): occurrence, condition, habitat, and fish species overlap
In the western US, freshwater mussels (Order Unionida) contribute valuable ecosystem functions to riverine systems, yet have declined across their...

Assessment of three methods to evaluate the distribution of submersed aquatic vegetation in western Lake Erie
Submersed aquatic vegetation (SAV) plays an important role in ecosystems. Inventories of SAV spatial distribution and composition are important for...

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)...

The relationship between stream size and life-history traits in freshwater mussels: an examination of the Host-Habitat Continuum Concept
The Host-Habitat Continuum Concept (HHCC) predicts changes in the proportions of freshwater mussels with different life-history strategies (i.e.,...

The Nativity and Distribution of the Cryptic Invader Phalaris arundinacea (Reed Canarygrass) in Riparian Areas of the Columbia and Missouri River Basins
Cryptic invaders are inherently difficult to study due to morphological similarity with native lineages of the same species or genus. Wetland and...
