With the widespread decline and endangerment of freshwater fishes, there is a need to
clearly define habitat requirements for effective species management and habitat …

The prediction of species distributions is a primary goal in the study, conservation, and
management of fisheries resources. Statistical models relating patterns of species presence …

Abstract The European Union, Water Framework Directive (WFD) requires monitoring of
riverine fish fauna. When the WFD came into force in 2000, most of the EU member states …

We present regression models for estimating the status of fish and aquatic invertebrate
communities in all second to fourth–order streams (1: 100 000 scale; total stream length …

Aim We used chelonian distribution data to (1) predict suitable areas of the occurrence for
freshwater turtle species using species distribution models and (2) evaluate whether these …

Canada's diverse freshwaters support a rich biodiversity of more than 200 species. Canada
has strong legislation capable of conserving and protecting freshwaters habitats. Fish are a …

The Laurentian Great Lakes host more than 180 non-native species, including several that
have resulted in major economic and ecological effects. This list includes the round goby …

We collected fish samples and measured physical habitat characteristics, including summer
stream temperatures, at 156 sites in 50 tributary streams in two sampling areas (Upper …

The geographical ranges of species are influenced by three components: spatial distribution
of environmental conditions, biotic interactions and the dispersal capacity of species. The …

A geologic classification scheme was combined with elevation to test hypotheses regarding
watershed sensitivity to acidic deposition using available regional spatial data and to delimit …
