Factors structuring estuarine and coastal fish communities across Japan using environmental DNA metabarcoding

Ecological Indicators, 2021
Estuarine and coastal ecosystems are important habitats for many fish species. Large-scale patterns of estuarine and coastal fish communities can be affected by geographical factors, such as water temperature and latitude, that limit or allow fish ...

Complementary Non‐invasive Fish Monitoring Distinguishes Depth‐Dependent Fish Communities

Environmental DNA
Human activities are increasingly affecting marine environments, with fish communities serving as critical indicators of ecosystem health. Effective management of marine fishes is imperative for maintaining the balance of marine ecosystems, necessitating

Evaluation of cone fishways to facilitate passage of small-bodied fish

Aquaculture and Fisheries, 2021
Fishways are being provided more regularly than ever before and new designs are needed to provide passage for whole fish communities. Despite recent progress, fishways have frequently performed poorly, especially for small-bodied fish (i.e.

Behavior - Landscape Interactions May Create Super-Spreader Environments: Vigilance-Olfactory Interactions Across Land Type and Disease Transmission Potential in the Banded Mongoose

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020
A complex suite of drivers can influence infectious disease transmission with behavior and landscape spatial dynamics contributing importantly to epidemic patterns across host–pathogen-environmental systems.

Evaluation of Fish Communities in Daya Bay Using Biomass Size Spectrum and ABC Curve

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2021
Based on the data collected by four trawl surveys during 2016–2017, we applied biomass size spectrum (BSS) and abundance–biomass comparison (ABC) curve to assess the status of fish communities’ status in Daya Bay, China. Our findings indicated a unimodal

Freshwater fish assemblages in Cyprus with emphasis on the effects of dams [PDF]

Acta Ichthyologica et Piscatoria, 2012
Background. The distribution of freshwater fishes in Cyprus is poorly known. The island is particularly interesting because of its biogeographical isolation and the long-term influence of humans on the biota, especially due to the recent damming of many ...

Biological diversity of fish communities : pattern and process [PDF]

, 2011
For over 150 years, ecologists have been striving to explain fundamental patterns of biological diversity, such as the observation that communities invariably consist of common and rare species, and to unravel the processes that underpin these patterns ...
