Ephemeral floodplain habitats provide best growth conditions for juvenile Chinook salmon in a California river (2008, background): “When juvenile Chinook salmon leave fresh water at a larger size, as seen in fish reared on floodplains, overall survivorship to adulthood is increased (Unwin 1997; Galat and Zweimuller 2001 ).”
Spatiotemporal Patterns and Changes in Missouri River Fishes (2005, methodology): “Fishes were assigned to one of three general habitat-use guilds developed by Kinsolving and Bain (1993) to assess their relative dependence on riverine or floodplain habitats (see also Travnichek et al. 1995 and Galat and Zweimüller 2001).”
A STREAM EVOLUTION MODEL INTEGRATING HABITAT AND ECOSYSTEM BENEFITS (2014, background): “, 2009) because habitat diversity is greater and opportunities for both fluvial and floodplain specialists abound (Galat and Zweimüller, 2001).”
Dominance of autochthonous autotrophic carbon in food webs of heterotrophic rivers (2002, background): “However, the view that river channels are simply "highways" providing only transport between productive floodplain sites (Junk et al. 1989) has recently been challenged (Dettmers et al. 2001, Galat and Zweimiiller 2001 ).”
