Amphidromous gobioid fishes have colonized streams on tropical and subtropical volcanic islands across the globe. Such streams are often characterized by steep gradients, high velocity currents, and even waterfalls as in-stream obstacles; however, the ability to climb waterfalls has evolved in many goby species, allowing juveniles returning from the ocean to penetrate upstream reaches. Past stu...

Understanding parasite distributional patterns is fundamental for elucidating host–parasite relationships. The genus Salmincola an ectoparasitic copepod group specifically infecting freshwater salmonids. Considering their strong association with hosts, we can predict that the distribution and prevalence (analogs to abundance) of reflect host An alternative hypothesis will be strongly affected b...

Abstract Context Rivers are heterogeneous landscapes characterised by distinct patches separated boundaries. The significance of tributaries as dominant geomorphic boundaries in determining the character river discontinuum is a prevailing, yet largely unscrutinised, paradigm science. Objectives This study examines spatial organisation and strength within network 10 drainage basins Kimberley reg...

Background and aims – Podostemaceae is a family of strictly aquatic plants found in rapids waterfalls. Despite recent treatment the Flore du Gabon, remained poorly known, with no major studies including Gabonese collections, almost targeted inventories since 1966. We present first large-scale inventory this targeting throughout country, providing new additions to flora Gabon many records known ...

Species conservation often faces many challenges, such as addressing threats from multiple stressor sources, representing under-studied taxa, and understanding implications of spatial extent. To overcome these we assessed contemporary anthropogenic stream fragmentation landscape disturbance well future habitat suitability under climate change for traditionally well-studied (fishes) (mussels) im...

The connectivity of the Barat Cave underground river system needs to be known support implementation proper environmental management so that water resources can maintained sustainably. However, mapping paths is often hindered by conditions narrow cave passages, a barrier blocking flow (siphon), deep lakes, waterfalls, as well filled with water. This research was conducted in Cave, Karangbolong ...
