BACKGROUND Early civilizations developed around seasonal river floodplains, and the
natural rhythm of rivers remains critical to humans today. We use streams and rivers to meet …

Human activities are fundamentally altering biodiversity. Projections of declines at the global
scale are contrasted by highly variable trends at local scales, suggesting that biodiversity …

Freshwater is a basic need for the mankind. Effective biological tools (ecologically based,
efficient, rapid and consistently applicable to different ecological regions) are needed to …

Scientists disagree about the nature of biodiversity change. While there is evidence for
widespread declines from population surveys, assemblage surveys reveal a mix of declines …

Abstract Motivation The BioTIME database contains raw data on species identities and
abundances in ecological assemblages through time. These data enable users to calculate …

Stream Ecology: Structure and Function of Running Waters is designed to serve as a
textbook for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, and as a reference source for …

Feeding Ecology of Fish establishes a comprehensive framework for the variable ecological
patterns exemplified by feeding fishes. The author, a former president of the American …

A heuristic framework for understanding and predicting the distribution and categorical
abundance of species in stream communities is presented. The framework requires that …

We define disturbance in stream ecosystems to be: any relatively discrete event in time that
is characterized by a frequency, intensity, and severity outside a predictable range, and that …

We examine evidence for the structuring of fish communities from stream and lake systems
and the roles of biotic, abiotic, and spatial factors in determining the species composition …
