Effects of hypolimnetic hypoxia on foraging and distributions of Lake Erie yellow perch

TL;DR: Results indicate that yellow perch avoid hypoxic bottom waters by either moving horizontally away from the hypoxic zone or migrating above the oxycline, and evidence is found to suggest that individuals that moved above the hypoxia hypolimnetic layer continue to “dive” into the Hypoxia layer to feed on benthic invertebrates.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fragmentation and thermal risks from climate change interact to affect persistence of native trout in the Colorado River basin

TL;DR: An empirical model to predict stream temperatures at the fragment scale from downscaled climate projections along with geomorphic and landscape variables is coupled with a Bayesian Network model that integrates stochastic risks from fragmentation to project persistence of CRCT populations across the upper Colorado River basin to 2040 and 2080.
