Response of Brazos River Oxbow Fish Assemblages to Patterns of Hydrologic Connectivity and Environmental Variability
—Three oxbow lakes with different connection frequencies and an adjacent reach of the middle Brazos River, Texas, were surveyed quarterly from summer 1993 to summer 1996 to examine the effects of hydrology and physicochemical attributes on fish assemblage structure. During flood events, oxbows usually were colonized by about 20 fish species from the river channel, and several fluvial specialist...
متن کاملPhylogenetic community structure: temporal variation in fish assemblage
Hypotheses about phylogenetic relationships among species allow inferences about the mechanisms that affect species coexistence. Nevertheless, most studies assume that phylogenetic patterns identified are stable over time. We used data on monthly samples of fish from a single lake over 10 years to show that the structure in phylogenetic assemblages varies over time and conclusions depend heavil...
متن کاملRelationships between Hydrology, Spatial Heterogeneity, and Fish Recruitment Dynamics in a Temperate Floodplain River
Fish populations in the Brazos River, Texas, were surveyed monthly for 2 years to determine the relative influence of hydrology and habitat characteristics on the recruitment dynamics of seven species representing three divergent life history strategies. Surveys were conducted in two oxbow lakes with different flood recurrence intervals and the main river channel. The first year was relatively ...
متن کاملFish community structure in relation to environmental variation in coastal volcanic habitats
This study constitutes one of the few works conducted on the colonization of recent lava flows by fish communities in coral reef environment. It attempted to describe themechanisms of colonization and environmental variables influencing the structure of communities on the lava flows of the Piton de la Fournaise volcano at Reunion Island. It also proposed somehypotheses on themechanisms of selec...
متن کاملBiodiversity of Macroinvertebrates in Oxbow-Lakes of Early Glacial River Basins in Northern Poland
River basins are very complex systems which include both abiotic and biotic elements. Such a high number of components results in a situation that normal functioning of river with adjacent areas depends on a set of hydrological and geological processes. They influence biological diversity observed in river basins (Arscott et al., 2005; Marshall et al., 2006). Proper assessment of a lotic system...
