Habitat driven responses of reef fish: temporal change, niche partitioning and selection
Shallow water tropical and temperate marine habitats are changing dramatically in response to many stressor-driven effects. The change in turn threatens the associated fish communities relying on their maintenance for habitat provision. At present, a much better understanding of the interaction …

Stream Habitat Characterized by Stage -Specific Flows and Three-Dimensional Geomorphological Complexity: Development of Ecological Criteria for Stream Restoration Design
… Illinois, a new classification scheme for mesohabitat units was developed based on three-dimensional geomorphological complexity, and associated flow structures at low- and high-flow stages. In this two-tier classification scheme, the term fluvial habitat unit was used because fluvial refers to …

Habitat use by fishes of the New River, West Virginia
… of the species and life stages in different habitat types were made from electrofishing collections and underwater fish counts. During midday, fish densities in edge pool and riffle habitats were comparable, but densities in edge pool habitat were significantly higher than densities in middle …

Behavioural Ecology of Lake Trout: From Movement Ecology to Bioenergetics
… are directed to maximizing the success of habitat exploitation, which can be quantified by examining population-level parameters such as size and age at maturity, and the population bioenergetics. Similarly, the behavioural decisions of organisms are influenced and regulated by abiotic and …

Developing Habitat Suitability Criteria for Individual Species and Habitat Guilds in the Shenandoah River Basin
The diversity of fish species found in warmwater stream systems provides a perplexing challenge when selecting species for Instream Flow Incremental Methodology (IFIM) studies. An often-suggested approach has been to use habitat guilds to incorporate the diversity found in these systems. My goal is …

Differential stability of spawning microhabitats of warmwater stream fishes
… streambed stability in spawning microhabitats of warmwater fishes in the upper Roanoke River, Virginia. Spawning microhabitats used by four reproductive guilds (egg-clusterers, mound-builders, egg-buriers, and pit-builders) were identified and ranges of 15 microhabitat variables used …
