Life on the Edge: The Ecology of Great Plains Prairie Streams

Abstract Great Plains streams are highly endangered and can serve as model systems for studying disturbance ecology and related issues of resistance and resilience in temperate freshwaters. These…

    Journal of the North American Benthological…
  • 1 December 1988
TLDR
Streams of the Mississippi Embayment, Interior Highlands, the Rocky and Appalachian mountains, and the prairies of the authors' inland plains provide a contrasting array of study sites at a similar latitude for consideration by ecologists desiring a broad comparative or experimental approach to questions in stream ecology.

Effects of drought on fish across axes of space, time and ecological complexity

1. We evaluate the position of 50 previously published studies of fish and drought with respect to spatial scale of study (individual stream pools to subcontinents), length of the dry period (weeks…

Grazing Minnows, Piscivorous Bass, and Stream Algae: Dynamics of a Strong Interaction

TLDR
It is indicated that in Brier Creek, biotic interactions strongly influence the pool-to-pool distributions of Campostoma and algae, par- ticularly during long periods of constant low discharge.

Persistence of Stream Fish Assemblages: Effects of Environmental Change

TLDR
It is suggested that, in the absence of detailed knowledge of home ranges of component species, an assessment of assemblage stability should be based on at least several localities within a watershed.

Grazer Control of Algae in an Ozark Mountain Stream: Effects of Short-Term Exclusion

TLDR
Diatom turfs exposed to grazing minnows are stripped off in 3-5 min, and when left exposed to grazers, are replaced by cyanobacterial felts within 11 d, suggestingBasal regeneration of Calothrix trichomes may contribute to their persistence under intense grazing.
