Fish assemblages of an Australian dryland river: abundance, assemblage structure and recruitment patterns in the Warrego River, Murray-Darling Basin (2006, positive): “By the end of a wet period, fish assemblages would tend to show low differentiation in terms of species composition and relative abundances, providing the most common fish species present have high vagility, which is likely (Bishop et al. 1995; Pusey et al. 2004; Arthington et al. 2005).”
A strategy to rehabilitate fishes of the Murray-Darling Basin, south-eastern Australia (2012, background): “Australia has relatively few freshwater fish species (approximately 260; Allen et al. 2002, Pusey et al. 2004) for its land mass (7 692 024 km2), largely the result of a generally arid climate and historical iso - lation.”
Variability of fish diets between dry and flood periods in an arid zone floodplain river (2005, background): “Comparable studies are not available, although the diets of most fishes conform broadly to those described for these same species in other regions (Merrick & Schmida, 1984; McDowall, 1996; Pusey et al., 2004).”
A non-lethal sampling method for stable carbon and nitrogen isotope studies of tropical fishes (2011, background): “2008) and have diverse diets (Winemiller 1990; Pusey et al. 2004) and rapid growth rates, which may influence their isotopic composition, relative tissue turnover rates and fractionation among tissues (Martinez del Rio et al.”
Are alien fish a reliable indicator of river health (2005, positive): “The weight of each ﬁsh (both native and alien species) was estimated with reference to existing relationships between body length and mass for each species (Pusey et al. , 2004).”
Global conservation status and research needs for tarpons (Megalopidae), ladyfishes (Elopidae) and bonefishes (Albulidae) (2014, background): “…across its range, M. atlanticus reaches sexual maturity at larger body sizes (>130 cm) and later ages (7–12 years) (de Menezes and Paiva 1966; Chacon-Chaverri 1993; Crabtree et al. 1997a) than M. cyprinoides (30– 40 cm, 2 years; Coates 1987; Padmaja and Rao 2001; Pusey et al. 2004; Ley 2008).”
The effects of introduced tilapias on native biodiversity (2005, background): “At stake, according to some authorities, is the Australian lungfish, Neoceratodus forsteri, recently declared ‘vulnerable’ under section 78 of the Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act (Pusey et al., 2004).”
Temporal changes in fish abundance in response to hydrological variability in a dryland floodplain river (2009, background): “Unlike the other three common species, however, N. erebi did not exhibit increased numbers (particularly juveniles) after floods, suggesting that the life-cycle of these fish is not dependent upon channel flow or flooding (as also noted by Pusey et al. 2004).”
Multiscale effects of flow regime and habitat and their interaction on fish assemblage structure in eastern Australia (2007, methodology): “The weight of each fish was estimated by reference to published rela- © 2007 NRC Canada tionships between body length and mass for each species (Pusey et al. 2004).”
Can a low-gradient vertical-slot fishway provide passage for a lowland river fish community? (2008, background): “In Australia, catadromy, amphidromy and potamodromy are common life histories among the 302 species of native freshwater fish and longitudinal movement is a major part of the ecology of most fish species (Harris et al. 1998; Stuart and Mallen-Cooper 1999; Pusey et al. 2004).”
Mechanistic effects of low-flow hydrology on riverine ecosystems: ecological principles and consequences of alteration (2012, background): “For example, many Australian freshwater fish species spawn and recruit during periods of stable low flows (Pusey et al. 2004) or are able to maintain populations by recruiting during low flows despite their ability to increase recruitment during high flows or floodplain inundation (Humphries et al.…”
Species invasions and the changing biogeography of Australian freshwater fishes (2007, background): “the Western Plateau) represent a significant determinant of dissimilarity between regions and have been implicated in the evolution of a wide array of sister species and subspecies (Pusey et al., 2004).”
Crying wolf, crying foul, or crying shame: alien salmonids and a biodiversity crisis in the southern cool-temperate galaxioid fishes? (2006, background): “Surprisingly, they omitted mention of migration, and clearly had not looked at literature from Australia and New Zealand where freshwater fish faunas are well known and migration is a common attribute of species (Merrick and Schmida 1984; McDowall 1990b, 2000a; Allen et al. 2002; Pusey et al. 2004).”
