Physical and biological changes to a lengthening stream gradient following a decade of rapid glacial recession (2010, background): “Strong biological and environmental gradients also exist in mountain streams (e.g., Ward, 1986; Burgherr & Ward, 2001; Finn & Poff, 2005), but climate-change impacts on natural gradients have been much less studied in aquatic than in terrestrial systems.”
A macroecological perspective of trait patterns in stream communities (2013, background): “There may be several traits or trait categories that facilitate the occurrence of an organism in certain habitat conditions, but a single species is unlikely to possess all of them (Townsend & Hildrew, 1994; Finn & Poff, 2005).”
Biodiversity of Aquatic Insects: Spatial Gradients and Environmental Correlates of Assemblage-Level Measures at Large Scales (2009, unknown): “Recent studies have suggested that both functional groups and taxa show relatively similar assemblage patterns along major environmental gradients (Finn & Poff, 2005; Heino et al., 2007a).”
Rapid loss of glacial ice reveals stream community assembly processes (2012, result): “In line with previous studies of North American stream macroinvertebrates (Finn & Poff, 2006; Poff et al., 2006), each taxon was assigned to one modality per trait (i.e. binary approach).”
Spatial scale and the diversity of macroinvertebrates in a Neotropical catchment (2010, background): “� 2009 Blackwell Publishing Ltd, Freshwater Biology, doi:10.1111/j.1365-2427.2009.02291.x Finn & Poff (2005) studied streams similar to each other in the Rocky Mountains (U.S.A.) and concluded that the terrestrial matrix could restrict the dispersal of adults, even to adjacent areas.”
Functional trait niches of North American lotic insects: traits-based ecological applications in light of phylogenetic relationships (2006, background): “…composition of populations or invertebrate communities in terms of environmental drivers (e.g., Scarsbrook and Townsend 1993, Resh et al. 1994, Statzner et al. 1997, Townsend et al. 1997a, b, Robinson and Minshall 1998, Chessman and Royal 2004, Finn and Poff 2005, Heino 2005, Bêche et al. 2006).”
