Community concordance describes similarity in distributions and abundances of organisms
from different taxonomic groups across a region of interest, with highly concordant …

Owing to the lack of information about the distribution patterns of many taxonomic groups,
biodiversity conservation strategies commonly rely on a surrogate taxa approach for …

Evaluations of stream geomorphic condition may increase our understanding of the
composite effects of human‐induced habitat change on fish communities. Using systematic …

Fish and invertebrate assemblage data collected from 670 stream sites in Minnesota (USA)
were used to calculate concordance across three nested spatial scales (statewide …

The use of multiple taxa rather than a single taxon of stream organisms in ecological studies
appears to be necessary to interpret independent environmental influences and interactions …

The number of community types occurring within landscapes is an important, but often
unprotected, component of biological diversity. Generally applicable protocols for …

Bioassessment is based upon the premise that biological assemblages have predictable
relationships with the surrounding natural and human environments. As the nature of these …

Although our knowledge of the spatial distribution of stream organisms has been increasing
rapidly in the last decades, there is still little consensus about trait-based variability of …

Aim To examine the roles of local and regional environmental variables and biotic
interactions in determining the structure of local stream fish assemblages, and to compare …

Fish and macroinvertebrate assemblage composition, instream habitat features and
