文摘。在1985年,美国社会的年会上鱼类学家与爬虫类在诺克斯维尔,田纳西州,《会饮篇》“社区和北美溪流鱼类进化生态学,“由w·j·马修斯和d . c .亨氏导致30-paper体积的1987年出版。主题包括生活史的概念模型、动物地理学、或社区动态;栖息地的使用;对压力的反应或洪水;捕食者的影响;食草鱼类的影响;ecomorphology,形态可塑性、小包装或罕见;人为的改变鱼生物群;生活史变化或策略;和遗传变异或分歧。 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.
