A heuristic framework for understanding and predicting the distribution and categorical
abundance of species in stream communities is presented. The framework requires that …

There is an increasing demand for tools to assist in the management of environmental flows
in rivers. Changes in river discharge act on biota through a hydraulic template, which is …

Three landscape attributes are likely to have strong effects on the rate-dependent processes
determining fish population dynamics in headwater streams:(1) functional interactions at …

Biological Assessment and Criteria presents a state-of-the-art overview of the applications of
biological assessments and biocriteria for water quality management in fresh waters. The …

This paper describes the methodological concept for application of physical habitat models
to restoration planning at a whole river scale. The design proposed here builds upon the …

Artificial fluctuations in streamflow have been documented to alter the composition and
structure of stream communities. This study tests the hypothesis that a spatial recovery …

The MesoHABSIM simulation model was developed in 2000 as an enhancement of the
habitat descriptions used in the physical habitat simulation model (PHABSIM). MesoHABSIM …

The functional ecological guild approach is the cornerstone for the development of Indices of
Biotic Integrity and multi‐metric indices to assess the ecological status of aquatic systems …

In the present communication habitat ecology, species diversity; distribution and different
indices of fish biodiversity management were studied in a Central India river (River Betwa, a …

Artificial fluctuations in streamflow caused by hydroelectric power dams can degrade fish
habitat and reduce the abundance and diversity of riverine fish faunas. Increased minimum …
