Although terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems differ in various respects (e.g. Carr et al. 2003), they are also strongly linked (e.g. Polis & Hurd 1995, Gende et al. 2002, Brashares et al. 2004, Knight et al. 2005, Orr et al. 2005). Unfortunately, ecologists working on these 2 eco-domains are, at best, only weakly linked. Steele (1995, p. 16) states: ‘I have emphasized the separation between mari...

As predator–prey interactions are inherently size-dependent, predator and prey body sizes are key to understanding their feeding relationships. To describe predator–prey size relationships (PPSRs) when predators can consume prey larger than themselves, we conducted field observations targeting three aquatic hemipteran bugs, and assessed their body masses and those of their prey for each hunting...

[1] Knowledge of water‐surface velocities in rivers is useful for understanding a wide range of lotic processes and systems, such as water and ice fluxes and forces, mixing, solute and sediment transport, bed and bank stability, aquatic and riparian ecology, and extreme hydrologic events. In cold regions, river‐ice break up and the associated downstream transport of ice debris is often the most...

Effective conservation of fish species of greatest conservation need (SGCN) requires an understanding of species-habitat relationships and distributional trends. Thus, modeling the distribution of fish species across large spatial scales may serve as a potentially valuable tool for conservation planning. Our goals were to evaluate the status of 10 Iowa fish SGCN in wadeable Iowa streams and tes...
