Regions with unique habitats often harbor endemic taxa associated with temporally stable
habitats. We identified such habitats that sustain endemic fishes in the plains of North …

Abstract Prairie streams of North America support native fishes that are adapted to the
dynamic environment that characterizes these ecologically and economically important …

Communities can change gradually or abruptly, and directionally (to an alternate state) or
non-directionally. We briefly review the history of theoretical and empirical perspectives on …

Stream‐fish assemblage and environmental data for 13 sites in the upper Brazos River,
Texas, USA during 1997 and 1998 were used to assess the relationship between …

We studied daily growth-increment formation in the otoliths of early life history stages of
Sharpnose Shiner, Notropis oxyrhynchus, and Smalleye Shiner, Notropis buccula, in the …

1. The effects of riffles as barriers to movement of stream fish was investigated in a set of
eight large outdoor artificial streams. Pools were 183 cm in diameter and 45 cm deep; riffles …

We studied the relationship between stream discharge and reproductive success for five
members of a prairie stream fish assemblage. Based on information obtained from the …

Pelagic broadcast spawning cyprinids are a mobile group of fishes commonly found within
semi-arid areas of the Great Plains of North America. In several species, upstream …

Karst spring systems provide permanent water sources in semi-arid to arid environments,
supporting a diverse aquatic community. Numerous karst streams in the Edwards Plateau …

We describe a modular method for building a large, outdoor experimental stream system
that has great flexibility for research projects in fish ecology, behavior, conservation, or …
