FISH ECOLOGY AND CONSERVATION IN INTERMITTENT RIVERS: MAJOR ADVANCES AND KNOWLEDGE GAPS
Intermittent rivers and streams are present in all climates, account for approximately one half of the global river network, and are projected to grow substantially in number due to climate change and water abstraction. Our knowledge about the ecology of fish inhabiting these systems is limited compared to our knowledge regarding other biological groups inhabiting intermittent streams and to our understanding of fish ecology in permanent waters. Researchers working with fishes tended to overlook intermittent rivers, in part because these seasonally-drying systems were often viewed as harsh, undesirable environments for fish species. Since 1990, the number of studies focusing on intermittent rivers has grown exponentially, including those about fish inhabiting these ecosystems. With the intent of comprehensively reviewing all scientific literature about fish ecology in intermittent rivers through 2016, we conducted a literature review, read all the literature covering any aspect of fish ecology in intermittent streams (380 papers), and extracted all relevant information from the articles. Here, we will present our key findings, and highlight major advances in the field as well the main knowledge gaps that may help set the course for future research.
