Effect of a change in physical structure and cover on fish and fish habitat in freshwater ecosystems – a review and meta-analysis (2007, background): “Observational evidence to support the effects of predators on fish habitat selection in north temperate (Eklöv 1997; Hall and Rudstam 1999; MacRae and Jackson 2001; Pratt and Fox 2001; Byström et al. 2003), west coast (Rodewald and Foster 1998; Scheuerell and Schindler 2003; Cooperman and Markle 200”
Lake morphometry predicts the degree of habitat coupling by a mobile predator (2009, background): “MacRae and Jackson (2001) note that thermal refugia may be afforded to warm water tolerant prey when their predator, a cold water species, is restricted to the cold water zones of a lake during the warm summer months.”
Grass-dominated stream sites exhibit low fish species diversity and dominance by guppies: an assessment of two tropical pasture river basins (2009, methodology): “Following a similar approach to MacRae & Jackson (2001), standard deviation of site scores for axis 1 and 2 produced by PCA was calculated to assess if, within predefined stream groups, habitat could be considered more or less simplified.”
Ecology of freshwater shore zones (2010, background): “…Rainwater (1975); c numbers of small fishes using simple and complex littoral habitats in Ontario lakes with and without smallmouth bass, from data of MacRae and Jackson (2001); d reductions in density of coarse woody debris and growth rates of bluegills (±1SD) in Wisconsin lakes with increasing…”
What controls who is where in freshwater fish communities the roles of biotic, abiotic, and spatial factors (2001, background): “An example is where a particular assemblage of cyprinids may coexist with salmonid predators, but the diversity of cyprinids is reduced following the introduction of bass into the lakes (MacRae and Jackson 2001).”
Potential impacts of climate change on the distributions of several common and rare freshwater fishes in Canada (2005, background): “The expansion of smallmouth bass into new watersheds may have dire consequences for the fish communities already inhabiting those watersheds, especially diverse cyprinid communities (MacRae & Jackson, 2001).”
Changing Fish Biodiversity: Predicting the Loss of Cyprinid Biodiversity Due to Global Climate Change (2002, background): “They have a strong negative association in their occurrence with bass as shown in various studies (e.g., Tonn and Magnuson 1982; Jackson et al. 1992; MacRae and Jackson 2001), and the cyprinids are reduced or eliminated from lakes when littoral predators such as bass or pike are introduced.”
Ontario freshwater fishes demonstrate differing range‐boundary shifts in a warming climate (2014, background): “However, various studies have indicated that fish community composition of Ontario lakes is strongly influenced by predator–prey relationships (Harvey, 1981; Jackson et al., 1992; MacRae & Jackson, 2001).”
Impacts of Biological Invasions on Freshwater Ecosystems (2010, background): “Further homogenization of fi sh communities results from the introductions of piscivores that reduce the abundance and diversity of littoral fi shes, particularly in lakes where refugia have been removed by shoreline development (MacRae & Jackson 2001 ).”
Long-term trends in zooplankton of Dorset, Ontario, lakes: the probable interactive effects of changes in pH, total phosphorus, dissolved organic carbon, and predators (2008, background): “Gunn, personal observation), both of which are known to reduce abundances of planktivorous fish (MacRae and Jackson 2001).”
Ecological Impacts of Nonnative Freshwater Fishes (2011, background): “Micropterus dolomieu Culaea inconstans Pimephales promela Margariscus margarita Canada Change of habitat use, reduced abundance and local extirpation I & P MacRae and Jackson (2001)”
