We analyzed data from 79 watersheds in an undegraded US ecoregion to identify key
environmental factors that explained stream fish assemblage patterns and to evaluate the …

Although the importance of water temperature to the ecology of stream fishes is well
documented, relatively little information is available on the extent of regional variation in …

Agricultural land use has often been linked to nutrient enrichment, habitat degradation,
hydrologic alteration, and loss of biotic integrity in streams. The US Geological Survey's …

Abstract Within the western Great Lakes (WGL) region of the USA (Michigan, Minnesota, and
Wisconsin), the ecological impact that the North American beaver Castor canadensis …

Summer air and stream water temperatures are expected to rise in the state of Wisconsin,
USA, over the next 50 years. To assess potential climate warming effects on stream fishes …

Protected areas are a cornerstone of conservation and have been designed largely around
terrestrial features. Freshwater species and ecosystems are highly imperiled, but the …

Suitability Model to Assess the Effects of Flow Reduction on Fish Assemblages in Michigan …

Coolwater streams, which are intermediate in character between coldwater “trout” streams
and more diverse warmwater streams, occur widely in temperate regions but are poorly …

The physical habitat requirements of cover, depth, and current speed for brown trout Salmo
trutta are associated with high shear zones in stream flows, which in turn result in high …

Riparian buffers have potential for reducing excess nutrient levels in surface water. Spatial
variation in riparian buffer effectiveness is well recognized, yet researchers and managers …
