Many diadromous fishes such as salmon and eels that move between freshwater and the ocean have evolved semelparous reproductive strategies, but both groups display considerable plasticity in characteristics. Factors such as population density and growth, predation risk or reproduction cost have been found to influence timing of maturation. We inves...
An international sampling program investigating the causes of the decline of American eels (Anguilla rostrata) and European eels (Anguilla anguilla) in the St. Lawrence (Canada) and Gironde (France) rivers systems provided the opportunity to compare early growth of eels of each species among habitats using back-calculated size
This is the first inter-continental comparative assessment of diatom richness and species abundance distribution (SAD) along spatial, climatic, and water chemistry gradients using stream data from the US and Finland. We tested a number of hypotheses about the causes of variability in richness and by extension, the SAD, including the metabolic theor...
