Article: Relating stream physical habitat condition and concordance of biotic productivity across multiple taxa.(Report)

Introduction

The link between aquatic biota and their physical environment is widely recognized (Petts et al. 1995; Barbour et al. 1999; Montgomery 1999). Both fish (Karr 1981; Deacon and Mize 1997; Sutherland et al. 2002) and macroinvertebrates (Kerans and Karr 1994; DeShon 1995; Yoder and Rankin 1995) are commonly used as indicators of stream ecological condition. Aquatic birds are also increasingly being used in assessing stream health (Bryce et al. 2002; Buckton and Ormerod 2002; Sullivan et al. 2007). Because of their apex trophic position and dependence on aquatic resources, belted kingfishers (Ceryle alcyon) are particularly susceptible to changes in ...
