Jan ’13: Happy New Year! First new study linking altered flow regimes to fish life-history strategies

Our research spans ecology, conservation, and management of freshwater systems. Within this we focus on five themes of freshwater science:
 
– Linking food webs & nutrient fluxes to landscape change in freshwater systems
 
– Ecology and management of invasive species
 
– Conservation biogeography
 
– Ecology and conservation planning in arid regions
 
– Environmental flows and the ecological impacts of hydrologic alteration by human activities
