Water quality in three potential drought refuges in an arid-land river: assessing habitat suitability for at-risk fish species
Drought is a common disturbance in arid-land streams and rivers. The survival of aquatic
species depends on access to refuge habitats where water quality remains high. Over the …

Behavioral responses to, and fitness consequences from, an invasive species are life-stage dependent in a threatened native fish
Native wildlife are impacted by invasive species in numerous ways and will be more
vulnerable if they cannot recognize the threat posed by an invader. Impacts, however, are …
