TL;DR: This list includes 700 extant taxa representing 133 genera and 36 families, a 92% increase over the 364 listed in 1989, and reflects the addition of distinct populations, previously non-imperiled fishes, and recently described or discovered taxa.

TL;DR: The results suggest that urban development that minimizes amount of connected impervious surface and establishes undeveloped buffer areas along streams should have less impact than conventional types of development.

TL;DR: Correlations were generally stronger for the entire watershed than for the buffer, and relationships between forested land and habitat and biotic integrity were linear, although there were several outlying sites with lower-than-expected IBI scores.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed data from 79 watersheds in an undegraded U.S. ecoregion to identify key environmental factors that explained stream fish assemblage patterns and evaluate the relative influence of environmental factors operating at different spatial scales.

TL;DR: In this article, watershed land-use and fish community data between the 1970s and 1990s in 47 small streams in southeastern Wisconsin were compared to quantify effects of increasing urbanization on stream fishes in what had been a predominantly agricultural region.
