Native Invasions, Homogenization, and the Mismeasure of Integrity of Fish Assemblages
Mark C. Scott,Gene S. Helfman +1 more
TL;DR: Highland streams flow into lower elevation systems, which are often inhabited by more widespread, generalist fish species adapted to warmer, more turbid, fine-sediment-rich, and nutrient-rich conditions, which reduces habitat diversity and increases species diversity.

Winners and losers among stream fishes in relation to land use legacies and urban development in the southeastern US
TL;DR: In this article, a linear combination of watershed-scale measures reflecting the extent contemporary forest cover, the trajectory of forest cover change over time, and building and road density were stronger predictors of fish assemblage composition than topographic features.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors collected data on Upper Tennessee River tributaries in North Carolina to compare landuse and landscape geomorphology with respect to their ability to explain variation in water quality, sedimentation measures, and determine if landscape change over time contributed significantly to explaining present stream conditions.

A Probabilistic Ecological Risk Assessment of Tributyltin in Surface Waters of the Chesapeake Bay Watershed
TL;DR: In this paper, a probabilistic ecological risk assessment for tributyltin (TBT) in surface waters of the Chesapeake Bay watershed was conducted, characterized by comparing the probability distributions of environmental exposure concentrations with the probability distribution of species response data determined from laboratory studies, and the overlap of these distributions was a measure of risk to aquatic life.

Resource Use by Two Sympatric Black Basses in Impounded and Riverine Sections of the New River, Virginia
Mark C. Scott,Paul L. Angermeier +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the habitat and food partitioning patterns of smallmouth bass and spotted bass in the New River, and found that spotted bass were predominant in the impoundment and smallmouth Bass were more abundant in the river.
