Positive interspecific interactions such as mutualism, commensalism, and facilitation are
globally ubiquitous. Although research on positive interactions in terrestrial and marine …

Evolution is rapidly gaining attention as an important driver of ecological process. Yet,
evolution via sexual selection has generally been omitted from this emerging synthesis. Our …

Aim The role of biotic interactions in determining species distributions is difficult to decouple
from abiotic factors. Most research to date has focused on negative biotic interactions, but …

Aim Knowledge of expanding and contracting ranges is critical for monitoring invasions and
assessing conservation status, yet reliable data on distributional trends are lacking for most …

Little is known about how positive biotic interactions structure animal communities. Nest
association is a common reproductive facilitation in which associate species spawn in nests …

I grew up in a country where fish were, first and foremost, food. At the age of nine or so, I
started following my dad and uncle to nearby rivers to fish on weekends, and soon I learned …

Ecosystem engineers modify instream habitat to the benefit or detriment of other species.
Nocomis leptocephalus (Bluehead Chub) is a widespread minnow (Actinopterygii …

As hydrologic alteration continues to affect aquatic biodiversity, knowledge of the spawning
requirements of fishes, especially 'keystone'or 'foundation'species, is critical for conservation …

Objective Predicted impacts of climate change in the eastern United States are pervasive
and complex, including increased precipitation, increased frequency of heavy precipitation …

Mutualisms are ubiquitous in nature but are understudied in freshwater ecosystems.
Mutualisms can be unstable, shifting to commensal or even negative outcomes with context …
