ABSTRACT Barriers can profoundly alter the composition of stream communities. In the tropical island of Sulawesi, streams are inhabited by a diversity of secondary freshwater fishes, mostly diadromous species. Many streams, however, are modified by human activities for various reasons, involving the construction of barriers that impede fish migration ...

Fluctuating salinity during development impacts fish life histories
Global freshwater ecosystems are increasingly threatened by salinisation. Salinity levels not only rise but also fluctuate due to extreme climate events and human activities. This study shows that stable elevated salinity accelerates reproduction in a freshwater fish, but fluctuations in salinity reduce reproductive output, with sex‐specific effects on
