Theodore R. Castro-Santos
A.P. Farrell, editor(s)
2011, Book chapter, Encyclopedia of fish physiology: from genome to the environment
Human activities such as hydropower development, water withdrawals, and commercial fisheries often put fish species at risk. Engineered solutions designed to protect species or their life stages are frequently based on assumptions about swimming performance and behaviors. In many cases, however, the appropriate data to support these designs are either...

B.L. Brown, C.M. Swan, D.A. Auerbach, Grant E.H. Campbell, N.P. Hitt, K.O. Maloney, C. Patrick
2011, Journal of the North American Benthological Society (30) 310-327
Explaining the mechanisms underlying patterns of species diversity and composition in riverine networks is challenging. Historically, community ecologists have conceived of communities as largely isolated entities and have focused on local environmental factors and interspecific interactions as the major forces determining species composition. However, stream ecologists have long embraced a...
