Molecular genetic approaches began to be used in fisheries in the 1950s. These initial
studies were of blood group variants, primarily in tunas, salmonids and cod (reviewed by de …

Drainage rearrangement, involving stream piracy (capture), drainage diversion and/or
beheading, may be significant for sediment budgets (including sediment provenance) and …

Aim To investigate biogeographic patterns of obligate freshwater fishes. Location Australia.
Methods Similarity indices, parsimony analysis, and drainage‐based plots of species' …

Diadromous fishes are a frequent but poorly understood component of coastal riverine fish
communities in Australia. There are~ 33 diadromous fishes found in Australian waters …

Abstract Golden perch Macquaria ambigua (Percichthyidae) and silver perch Bidyanus
bidyanus (Terapontidae) are two potamodromous fish species of the Murray‐Darling river …

Spatial and temporal variation in fish-assemblage structure within isolated waterholes on the
floodplains of Cooper Creek, Australia, was studied during the 2001 dry season, a period of …

Vicariance is potentially a key biogeographic process (Rosen, 1978) that physically disrupts
populations—typically through geological upheaval—and leads to genetic divergence and …

River capture is potentially a key geomorphological driver of range expansion and
cladogenesis in freshwater‐limited taxa. While previous studies of freshwater fish, in …

Abstract We used DNA analysis of the freshwater Galaxias vulgaris complex (Pisces:
Galaxiidae) to test a geological hypothesis of drainage evolution in South Island, New …

Riverine fish living in unpredictable flow environments tend to be ecological generalists with
traits that allow them to persist under highly variable and often harsh conditions associated …
