Fish Traits: A Database of Ecological and Life‐history Traits of Freshwater Fishes of the United States (2009, background): “Protocols for biological monitoring and assessment commonly incorporate traits-based metrics (Karr et al. 1986; Angermeier et al. 2000; Pont et al. 2006; Welcomme et al. 2006).”
Temporal changes in fish abundance in response to hydrological variability in a dryland floodplain river (2009, background): “Ecology of Cooper Creek fish The four fish species studied here would fit into the eupotamonic phytophilic guild of Welcomme et al. (2006b), all being able to migrate both laterally between channels and floodplains, and longitudinally along wetted channels and/or down the floodplain under flow or…”
Trait-Based Approaches in the Analysis of Stream Fish Communities (2010, unknown): “Aquatic biological monitoring and assessments, employing trait-based metrics (Karr 1981; Karr et al. 1986; Angermeier et al. 2000; Pont et al. 2006; Welcomme et al. 2006) and used by regulatory agencies across countries and continents (Karr and Chu 2000), are excellent examples of the maturity of…”
Life history trait diversity of native freshwater fishes in North America (2010, background): “Most recently, Welcomme et al. (2006) defined environmental guilds of freshwater fishes (using reproductive, behavioural, and ecological traits) as a tool for riverine ecological assessment, and Frimpong & Angermeier (2009) presented a database of ecological and life history traits of freshwater…”
