Alterations to water quality and quantity elicit similar stream fish functional trait responses in three North American rivers by N.S. Santee, K.W. Conway, W.H. Nowlin, D. Smith, J.S. Perkin

“…Although taxonomic-based indicators have played a central role in measuring ecological integrity of rivers, trait-based ecological indicators may be applied across regions and provide insight into the mechanistic linkages between environmental variation and organism responses. The goal of this study was to conduct a multi-system assessment of fish functional trait responses to anthropogenic alteration of rivers. …”
