Abstract:
... We use a long time series of catch abundance from a recreational fishery over 116 years to look for population trends in Atlantic salmon, and anadromous (sea trout) and non-anadromous (brown) trout for a single catchment, Loch Lomond, west central Scotland. Year strongly predicted variation in catches but catch effort did not meaningfully increase explained variation. Salmon showed periods of incr ...

Abstract:
... Habitat degradation combined with climate change increases the threat of extinction for stream fishes. In response to these threats, efforts to reestablish species within formerly occupied streams or translocation to suitable areas may be effective conservation strategies. In the absence of historic species presence data, identifying locations where suitable habitat exists across many fluvial habi ...

Here, we used otolith multi-elemental signatures to reconstruct life sequences of European silver eels within an obstructed catchment, just before the removal of hydropower dams. Beyond providing an initial state, we hypothesized that otolith signature ...

Abstract:
... Setting e-flows (instream, environmental or ecological flow regimes) for existing or new hydroelectric and other projects is a key worldwide consideration. A Canadian perspective and experience in arriving at e-flow regimes for ice-free or ice-covered rivers, with emphasis on small and large hydroelectric projects, is presented through general concepts and modeling approaches. Rather than a single ...

Abstract:
... Invertebrate drift is a key process in riverine ecosystems controlling aquatic invertebrate distribution and availability to fish as prey. However, accurately quantifying drifting invertebrates of all sizes is difficult because the fine-mesh nets required to capture the smallest specimens clog easily, which reduces filtration efficiency and measurement accuracy. To address this problem, we develop ...

In order to maximize fitness, the fraction that terminates diapause is modified by signals indicating habitat suitability and biotic interactions. Here, in a laboratory experiment, we investigate the effect of ...

Theory predicts that species can only coexist if they are sufficiently different in their resource and/or microhabitat utilization; if their needs are too similar, the stronger population will exclude the weaker, unless the two species are equally strong competitors. This hypothesis is difficult to assess in most species because populations are limited by multiple resources simultaneously. In herm ...

Rock pools are ephemeral freshwater habitats characterized by their small size, well-defined boundaries, and periodic desiccation, making them ideal model systems to answer numerous ecological questions. Although there are numerous studies on rock pool fauna around the world, tardigrades have only rarely been recorded. We conducted the first tardigrade-focused study on rock pools by quantitatively ...

However, such studies are still rare especially in large rivers. We used a dataset collected in the upper reach of the Jinsha River in different seasons to explore biodiversity and assembly processes of planktonic and benthic diatom assemblages. We found that pla ...

We assessed the relative influence of climatic and hydrological predictor variables on the modelled distribution of macroinvertebrates, expecting model perform ...

Here, we proposed to disentangle the effects of these mechanisms on predation rates and parameters of functional response curves of predators. We paired active-search predators (Buenoa, Hemiptera) or ambush predators (Pantala and Lestes, Odonata) with ...
