Southeastern Australia is presently experiencing one of the worst droughts observed in the
region in the last 200 years. The consequences of drought have been far reaching both for …

Drought is a constant and important consequence of natural climatic processes and most
freshwater fishes have adaptations to counter its effects. However, a changing global climate …

Droughts are a major hazard to both natural and human-dominated environments and
those, especially of long duration and high intensity, can be highly damaging and leave long …

Summary 1 We evaluate the position of 50 previously published studies of fish and drought
with respect to spatial scale of study (individual stream pools to subcontinents), length of the …

This paper introduces, and summarises the key messages of, a series of papers that
emanated from a symposium on the Role of Drought in the Ecology of Aquatic Systems, held …

Protected evolutionarily significant units (ESUs) of salmonids require objective and
measurable criteria for guiding their recovery. In this report, we develop a method for …

One of the most obvious and expected impacts of climate change is a shift in the
distributional range of organisms, which could have considerable ecological and economic …

Abstract During Pleistocene, the Laurentide ice sheet rearranged and diversified biotic
distributions in eastern North America, yet had minimal physical impact in western North …

There have been significant diversions of water from rivers and streams around the world;
natural flow regimes have been perturbed by dams, barriers and excessive extractions …

Extreme climate events and the damming of natural rivers can intensify the effects of
droughts and floods, which can consequently affect aquatic biota. We investigated whether a …
