Sulawesi stream fish communities depend on connectivity and habitat diversity. [PDF]

J Fish Biol
Abstract Streams provide an array of habitat niches that may act as environmental filters for fish communities. The tropical island of Sulawesi in Indonesia is located in the Wallacea, a region isolated by marine barriers from the Asian and Australian faunas.
