We propose the novel integrated modelling procedure 3H-EMC for the determination of the
environmental flow in rivers and streams; 3H-EMC combines Hydrological, Hydrodynamic …

Pool refuges are critical for maintaining stream fish diversity in increasingly intermittent
streams. Yet, the patterns and drivers of beta diversity of native and non-native fish in pool …

Abstract Probabilistic Neural Networks (PNNs) and Support Vector Machines (SVMs) are
flexible classification techniques suited to render trustworthy species distribution and habitat …

Identifying key factors in species' habitat requirements can be of use in defining critical
habitats for their conservation, as well as in assisting the prioritization of habitat restoration …

Interspecies and intraspecies variation in the use of wooded habitats has been studied for
salmonids, but little is known about nonsalmonid species. In this study, we explored …

Microhabitat selection models are frequently used in rivers to evaluate anthropogenic effects
on aquatic organisms. Fish models are generally developed from few rivers, with debatable …

Background The circadian clock is a biological timing system that improves the ability of
organisms to deal with environmental fluctuations. At the molecular level it consists of a …

Hybrid complexes are composed of organisms with multiple combinations of parental
genomes (genomotypes) that interconnect through nets of crosses. Although several such …

The aim of present study is to investigate the impacts of environmental variables to
distribution and habitat preference of the species in an endorheic stream. For this purpose …

Habitat loss and degradation are causing collapses in freshwater fish in the Mediterranean
region, where habitat restoration actions are still hampered by poor understanding of fish …
