Thus far, ecophysiology research has predominantly been conducted within controlled
laboratory-based environments, owing to a mismatch between the recording technologies …

Salmonids undertake long and strenuous migrations that require aerobic endurance and
anaerobic burst swimming. Anthropogenic activity and natural disasters can make already …

River confluences are nodes where the unique hydrological processes of two rivers meet,
resulting in complex flow structure and water quality mixing processes. Thus, greater food …

Habitat fragmentation is a principal threat to biodiversity and artificial river barriers are a
leading cause of the global decline in freshwater biota. Although the impact of barriers on …

The Balkan region has some of the best conserved rivers in Europe, but is also the location
of~ 3000 planned hydropower dams that are expected to help decarbonise energy …

Swimming performance is important for fish migration, habitat selection, and predator-prey
interaction, as well as for fish passage design. Procedural choices made when …

Across the globe, there are millions of in‐stream structures that fragment the world's river
networks, acting as barriers that can impede the movements of fish. Designing effective …

Artificial instream barriers are a major cause of habitat fragmentation that reduce population
connectivity and gene flow by limiting fish movements. To mitigate their impacts, obsolete …

European rivers are disconnected by more than one million man-made barriers that
physically limit aquatic species migration and contribute to modification of freshwater …

River fragmentation caused by instream barriers is a leading cause of biodiversity loss,
particularly for freshwater migratory fish, the vertebrate group that has suffered the steepest …
