Increases in river fragmentation globally threaten freshwater biodiversity. Rivers are
fragmented by many agents, both natural and anthropogenic. We review the distribution and …

The conservation of genetic diversity has emerged as one of the central issues in
conservation biology. Although researchers in the areas of evolutionary biology, population …

Climate change will ultimately affect the supply and quality of freshwater lakes and rivers
throughout the world. This study examines the potential impacts of climate change on …

This paper provides a brief history of sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) control in the Great
Lakes and introduces the second Sea Lamprey International Symposium (SLIS II). SLIS II …

We demonstrated that estimates of the relative abundance and patterns of covariation for
fish species captured in baited minnow traps, plastic traps, fine-and coarse-mesh trap nets …

Dendritic landscapes can have ecological properties that differ importantly from simpler
spatial arrangements of habitats. Most dendritic landscapes are structured by elevation, and …

Allopatric speciation may be the principal mechanism generating new species. Yet, it
remains difficult to judge the generality of this process because few studies have provided …

Aim Northerly shifts, related to recent climate warming, have been observed in the
distributions of taxa in many ecosystems and ecological roles. However, significant variation …

Abstract We propose the Stream Biome Gradient Concept as a way to predict macroscale
biological patterns in streams. This concept is based on the hypothesis that many abiotic …

Ecological communities show extremely complex patterns of variation in space, and
quantifying the relative importance of spatial and environmental factors underpinning …
