The broad range of subjects represented in this symposium highlight exciting new advances in the field of stream fish community ecology. Some of the chapters expand on themes (e.g., community stability, species interactions) that were represented in the 1987 publication Community and Evolutionary Ecology of North American Stream Fishes edited by W. J. Matthews and D. C. Heins. Others present re...

Traditionally, evolutionary biology has had a distant relationship to conservation comparedwith ecology and field-based natural history. However, this situation has changeddramatically in the last twodecades,particularly as abundantmoleculardatahavebecomeavailable for atrisk speciesof conservation concern.As the availabilityof genome-level data for these species increases, the role of evolution...

Ecology and Conservation of Cougars in the Eastern Great Basin: Effects of Urbanization, Habitat Fragmentation, and Exploitation

Since the completion of the Navstar Global Positioning System (GPS) in 1995, the integration of GPS and Geographical Information Systems (GIS) technology has expanded to a great number of ecological and conservation applications. In tropical rain forest ecology, however, the technology has remained relatively neglected, despite its great potential. Notwithstanding cost, this is principally due ...
