Fish assemblages respond to altered flow regimes via ecological filtering of life history strategies (2013, methodology): “Our study demonstrated that river regulation by large dams has significant hydrological and biological consequences across the United States.”
From traits to life‐history strategies: Deconstructing fish community composition across European seas (2017, methodology): “These traits were also selected as they were previously used to describe the theoretical life 129 history strategies of fish species based on the EPO model (Winemiller 2005, Mims et al. 2010).”
Biogeographical region and environmental conditions drive functional traits of estuarine fish assemblages worldwide (2017, background): “Accordingly, in North America, freshwater fishes with opportunistic strategies capitalize on basins that are historically less stable (south and south- east), whilst equilibrium and periodic strategies are favoured in more stable basins (west and north; Mims et al., 2010).”
Biomanipulation as a restoration tool to combat eutrophication : recent advances and future challenges (2012, background): “Small, short-lived species with generally opportunistic strategies are more abundant at low latitudes, whereas large, longer-lived species predominate at high latitudes, as found in a very exhaustive research on North American fishes (Mims et al., 2010).”
The Stream Biome Gradient Concept: factors controlling lotic systems across broad biogeographic scales (2014, background): “Hydrology influences trait distributions of fish (Mims et al. 2010) and invertebrate (Poff et al. 2006b) communities.”
A macroecological perspective of trait patterns in stream communities (2013, background): “periodic equilibrium strategists) at high latitudes (Mims et al., 2010).”
Predicting invasiveness of species in trade: climate match, trophic guild and fecundity influence establishment and impact of non‐native freshwater fishes (2016, methodology): “Data for all variables were gathered from online databases, including FishBase (Froese & Pauly, 2014), FishTraits (Frimpong & Angermeier, 2009) and published literature (e.g. Kolar & Lodge, 2002; Mims et al., 2010).”
Consequences of the introduction of exotic and translocated species and future extirpations on the functional diversity of freshwater fish assemblages (2013, background): “Freshwater fish display a remarkable range and variance in morphological, behavioural, physiological, trophic and life history traits (Mims et al., 2010).”
