DOI: 10.1016/j.jclepro.2020.125292
Abstract: Abstract There are increasing calls to incorporate ecological requirements into hydropower operation, however it remains a challenge to balance average ecological benefit over a long period of time and ecological damage under wet/dry conditions. This… read more here.

DOI: 10.1071/mf18121
Abstract: Major sections of today’s rivers are man made and do not provide the essential requirements for riverine fish. A nature-like fish by-pass system in Vienna-Freudenau was assessed for its function as a fish habitat. The… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1365-2656.12924
Abstract: Understanding how animals interact with their environment is a fundamental ecological question with important implications for conservation and management. The relationships between animals and their habitat, however, can be scale-dependent. If ecologists work at suboptimal… read more here.

DOI: 10.1139/cjfas-2016-0480
Abstract: Fish habitat is essential to the stability and productivity of fisheries. In Canada, the primary legal tool for protecting fish habitat is the federal Fisheries Act. In 2012, this law was changed to narrow the… read more here.
