Phenology changes are increasingly recognized as a common response of species to
ongoing global change. Phenology can be influenced by environmental cues that impact the …

Among ray-finned fishes that provide parental care, many spawn in constructed nests,
ranging from bowls, burrows and ridges to nests made of algae or bubbles. Because a nest …

Animals experience seasonally changing conditions in temperate regions, thus population
vital rates change seasonally. However, knowledge is lacking on patterns of seasonal …

Identifying environmental drivers of demographic variation is key to predicting community‐
level impacts in response to global change. Climate conditions can synchronize population …

Ecosystem engineers modify instream habitat to the benefit or detriment of other species.
Nocomis leptocephalus (Bluehead Chub) is a widespread minnow (Actinopterygii …

Ecosystem engineers facilitate beneficiary species by ameliorating physical habitat. The
stress‐gradient hypothesis (SGH) predicts the importance of facilitation in communities …

Although the prevailing paradigms in spatial ecology have treated dispersal as a stochastic
process, there is an increasing awareness that spatial processes are non‐random such that …

Prey species often congregate in groups to detect and evade predators, yet not all group
members benefit equally. We observed the nesting aggregations of bluehead chub …

Life history events, from mating and voltinism to migration and emergence, are governed by
external and historically predictable environmental factors. The ways humans have altered …

Nest construction by males is a common reproductive strategy in fishes, but little is known
about intra-specific variation in nesting behavior and reproductive interactions with other …
