Cyprinidae; adults; age structure; anthropogenic activities; autumn; biomass; community structure; competitive exclusion; energy; fish; fish communities; fish production; habitats; hydrologic cycle; immigration; insect density; insectivores; insects; invertebrates; predation; pupae; raceways; rain; reproductive success; riparian vegetation; species richness; spring; stream channels; summer; temporal variation; water; water temperature; winter
Abstract:
... The stream continuum concept suggests that the physical structure of the stream channel coupled with the hydrological cycle and energy inputs results in a consistent pattern of community structure and function along a stream. I evaluated this concept in a headwater fish community along two physical gradient gradients: upstream to downstream and riffle to pool. Habitat diversity and volume increase ...

Abstract:
... Three alternate and distinct fish assemblages were identified in 43 northern Wisconsin lakes encompassing a gradient from bog ponds to small, oligotrophic lakes having little bog character. Multivariate analysis of physical/chemical variables identified three general environmental factors that influence community type and species richness. These factors are: (1) habitat size and heterogeneity; (2) ...

Abstract:
... In Bavaria, an increase in Cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo sinensis) numbers has lead to increasing conflict between fishermen and conservationists. The diet of cormorants was assessed by examining the contents of oral pellets from seven study sites, thought to be representative of Bavarian waters. These were two large pre-alpine lakes (Chiemsee and Ammersee), a reservoir (Altmühlsee), two gravel p ...

The negative impact of introduced species on native taxa depends on their spatio-temporal overlap, which will determine the availability of refugia for native species. Experiments on the mechanisms underlying the interactions between introduced and native species rarely address habitat ...

Scattered with numerous salt lakes and [almost equal to]2,700-3,200 m above sea level, the giant Qaidam inland basin on the northern Tibetan Plateau has experienced continuing aridification since the beginning of the Late Cenozoic as a result of the India-Asia plate collision and associated uplift of the Tibetan Plateau. Previous evidence of aridification comes mainly from evaporite deposits and s ...
