摘要1985年，在田纳西州诺克斯维尔举行的美国鱼类学家和爬虫学家协会年会上，由W. J.马修斯和D. C.海因斯组织的“北美溪流鱼类的群落和进化生态学”研讨会在1987年出版了30篇论文。主要主题包括生命史、动物地理学或群落动力学的概念模型;栖息地的使用;对压力或洪水的反应;捕食者的影响;放牧鱼类的影响;生态形态、形态可塑性、生态位填充或稀有性;鱼类区系的人为变化;生活史变化或策略;还有遗传变异或分化。 Numerous papers from that symposium were influential on future research in stream fish ecology. As of 1985, many approaches or techniques now in common use did not exist or were barely used by stream fish ecologists, including gene sequencing, geographic information systems, the Internet, “landscape ecology,” “metapopulations,” “macroecology,” and “riverscapes,” and global warming was not yet a household word. Since the 1985 symposium, there have been two important international meetings of fish ecologists in Spain, organized by Javier Lobon-Cervia. The current volume compliments these efforts by attempting to synthesize advances in the field of stream fish community ecology. Since the 1985 symposium, fish ecologists have adopted many new approaches, including more large-scale and long-term surveys, stable isotopes, and ecological stoichiometry, among others, and linkages among habitat patches, fish effects in stream ecosystems, and effects of climate change are a major focus. This volume from the 2008 symposium includes 24 papers that document progress in stream fish ecology since the 1985 symposium, some of which take new theoretical and empirical approaches to address questions that were unasked or unanswerable two decades ago.
