Conserving stream fishes with changing climate: Assessing fish responses to changes in habitat over a large region.

Changes in climate are known to alter air temperature and precipitation and their associated thermal and hydrological regimes of freshwater systems, and such alterations in habitat are anticipated to modify fish composition in fluvial systems. Despite these expected changes, assessing climate change effects on habitat and fish over large regions has proven challenging. The goal of this study is to describe an approach to assess and identify stream reaches within a large region that are susceptible to climate changes based on responses of multiple fish species to changes in thermal and hydrological habitats occurring with changes in climate.

Landscape context and the biophysical response of rivers to dam removal in the United States.

Dams have been a fundamental part of the U.S. national agenda over the past two hundred years.

An approach for aggregating upstream catchment information to support research and management of fluvial systems across large landscapes.

The growing quality and availability of spatial map layers (e.g., climate, geology, and land use) allow stream studies, which historically have occurred over small areas like a single watershed or stream reach, to increasingly explore questions from a landscape perspective.
