recommendations! Published in 2019 at "Ecology and Evolution"

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.5575

Abstract: Abstract The recovery of communities of predatory fishes within a no‐take marine reserve after the eradication of illegal fishing provides an opportunity to examine the role of sharks and other large‐bodied mesopredatory fishes in structuring… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.71112

Abstract: ABSTRACT β‐diversity is effective for measuring the degree of compositional variation among communities and can be decomposed into local (LCBD) and species (SCBD) contributions to β‐diversity. Previous studies on β‐diversity have mostly been limited to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.71463

Abstract: ABSTRACT Green Bay, the largest freshwater embayment in Lake Michigan, is a unique environment consisting of a trophic gradient along its north‐to‐south axis that shapes the heterogeneous and dynamic habitat, driving diverse fish behavior among… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/rra.3374

Abstract: The magnitude of hydropower developments in emerging regions threatens the sustainability of their riverine landscapes. Fragmentation of river networks by multiple barriers and the imposition of new hydrological regimes influences the ability of these river… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10530-025-03589-2

Abstract: The introduction of non-native species can disrupt the structure of communities and affect the functioning of freshwater ecosystems, disturbing various taxonomic groups, including fish. This study aimed to assess the ecological effects of the recent… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2024 at "Biodiversity and Conservation"

DOI: 10.1007/s10531-024-02809-w

Abstract: Functional diversity has proven to be more responsive than traditional taxonomic diversity to alterations for a wide set of communities, especially in aquatic ecosystems. Habitat alterations are among the most relevant causes of biodiversity loss… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10750-017-3274-4

Abstract: Dam construction alters flow regimes and can change the composition of aquatic communities. Using data from three Brazilian hydrographic basins, we tested the hypothesis that reservoir cascades act as environmental filters for fish traits. This… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s12237-017-0313-3

Abstract: Tidal creeks in large coastal deltas can be important habitat for fish but are often highly modified by human activities. Connectivity between tributary creeks and mainstem channels is often constrained by structures such as dikes… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s12237-017-0364-5

Abstract: The Mississippi coastal region has two major rivers and four smaller rivers influencing the estuaries that make up the Mississippi Sound. The islands off Mississippi create a barrier which allows the area to be a… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2021 at "Ecological Indicators"

DOI: 10.1016/j.ecolind.2021.107623

Abstract: Abstract Ecological disturbances may result in mortality events that alter biotic communities and ecosystems. In many coastal zones disturbances are increasing, including algal blooms and fish kills. These two disturbances are often related, with blooms… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-017-14978-6

Abstract: Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding has been used increasingly to assess biodiversity of aquatic vertebrates. However, there still remains to be developed a sampling design of eDNA metabarcoding that can ensure high detection rates of species… read more here.
