ABSTRACT Aim Invasive species can affect native species detrimentally, causing localised population declines, range contractions and extinctions. Given the costs and difficulties of controlling invasive species, sound knowledge of the potential benefits to native species is essential.

Food webs in forest and pasture streams in the Waikato region, New Zealand: A study based on analyses of stable isotopes of carbon and nitrogen, and fish gut contents. [PDF]
Stable isotopes of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) were studied in 11 stream communities in the Waikato region of New Zealand. From comparisons of mean d13C and d15N values, food webs in the shaded, forest streams were clearly based on allochthonous material

Observations on fishes of the family Galaxiidae: Part 1
In addition to their general importance as members of a remarkable family, the Tasmanian Galaxiidae are of special interest for several reasons. First, there are, as shown below, good grounds for believing that the island provides the type-locality of the genotype of the foundation-genus; secondly, the early observations of Johnston in Tasmania rank in

Diversity and Distribution of Amphibians and Freshwater Fishes on Australian Islands
ABSTRACT Aim Freshwater ecosystems cover less than 3% of the Earth's surface, yet support nearly 10% of all known animal species, majorly represented by freshwater fishes and amphibians, both of which are highly threatened groups. Geographically isolated freshwater species, such as those inhabiting islands, are at high risk. Australia, with nearly 9300

Fish passage design for sustainable hydropower in the temperate Southern Hemisphere:An evidence review [PDF]
The development of hydropower and other infrastructure that disrupts river connectivity poses a serious threat to highly endemic and genetically distinct freshwater fish species in temperate parts of the Southern Hemisphere.

Observations on fishes of the family Galaxiidae: Part 2.
In Part 1 of these Observations (Scott, 1936), devoted to a taxo- nomic survey of the family, with descriptions of new species, the hope was expressed that in succeeding parts it would be found possible to consider the Tasmanian Galaxiidae described prior to 1936.

ABSTRACT Understanding the interactive effects of non‐native species and alterations to flow regimes is important to combat threats to freshwater communities. Low‐flow conditions may either exacerbate or offset influences of non‐natives but the mechanisms determining the direction are poorly understood.

Distribution of freshwater fish in the south-western corner of Australia [PDF]
This study investigates the distribution of freshwater fishes in the Busselton to Walpole Region. A total of 311 sites in 19 major catchments along the south-west coast from Capel to Walpole, were sampled using a variety of methods.
