Abstract:
The distribution of suspended algae was investigated in a 69-km length of a small lowland river in the UK, the Nene (annual median discharge at km 91.7 =6 m(^3) s(^-1). Variations in chlorophyll a data collected between 1975 and 1998 by water management organisations at km 91.7 were evaluated against a range of physical and chemical variables. Interpretation was aided by additional sampling between 1993 and 1997.The latter half of the 24-year period had significantly higher temperatures and sunshine-hours and significantly lower ammonium concentrations.

Abstract:
Physical disturbance in the form of storm events has been implicated as a major determinant of community structure in streams. But there has been limited study of this effect on individual taxa within the communities. Such work is needed because of untested assumptions regarding the behavior of bioindicator species in these systems. Development of intricate indices of insect tolerances to organic pollution have become commonplace in environmental monitoring. However, research on the effects of natural disturbance on biological water quality assessment is lacking. Hydropsychid caddisflies are r

Abstract:
Prairie rivers of the Great Plains, USA, provide important habitat for the federally threatened piping plover (“plover”, Charadrius melodus). Plovers nest on open to sparsely vegetated river sandbars, and their demographic rates are closely linked to habitat availability and quality, as well as river flow. The Niobrara River in northern Nebraska has supported 22–41% of the state’s plovers since species listing in 1986, but the population and habitat are relatively understudied, and both have declined since 2010. The objectives of this study were to understand plover demography, habitat, and th

Abstract:
To comply with the European Union Water Framework Directive (2000), National Governments are required to achieve good chemical and ecological status of freshwater bodies. Fine sediment has been shown to be a major cause of the degradation of lakes and rivers, and as a result research in geomorphology has been directed towards the understanding of fine sediment dynamics. It was identified by a review of published literature that at present a paucity of information on sediment dynamics existed for the East Midlands, UK. The use of tracers within a sediment fingerprinting framework has recently b

Abstract:
This thesis is concerned with developing an archaeological theory of movement. Movement forms one of the most important phenomena of human life. It is an essential component of being, action and identity indeed without it we cease to live. Notwithstanding, human pedestrian movement remains little theorised within prehistoric contexts and when it is considered is usually restricted to seasonal mobilities or patterns of movement around and within the architectures of Neolithic monuments. This thesis goes beyond this narrow focus by examining movement as an integral facet of quotidian life. Notab

Abstract:
Publisher version<br>Introduction: The River goby, Glossogobius callidus (Smith 1937), occurs naturally in rivers and the upper reaches of estuaries along the eastern seaboard of southern Africa (Whitfield, 1998; James et al., 2007; Wasserman, Strydom & Wooldridge, 2010). This fish species is among the most abundant of fishes in many river systems of the region and is considered an important predator in these habitats, feeding on invertebrates and small fish (Whitfield, 1998; Strydom & Neira, 2006; Wasserman, 2012; Wasserman et al., 2014).

Abstract:
Clearing of old growth forests resulted in a substantial loss of nesting habitat for cavity-nesting waterfowl during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Since then, many hardwood forests have matured into size classes capable of producing cavities suitable for nesting ducks. To quantify changes in cavity availability in U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service Region 3, which contains most of the midwestern U.S., I examined current cavity availability at 4 sites where cavity availability had been estimated in the past; Mingo National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) in Missouri, Shiawassee NWR in Michigan,

Abstract:
Nest survival often is lower at habitat edges than in habitat cores because of greater nest predation and parasitism near edges. I studied nest survival of breeding birds in bottomland hardwood forests of the lower Roanoke River, North Carolina. Nesting success was monitored in two forest width classes: narrow bands of levee forest that were dominated by two edge types, and wide, continuous levee forest stands that have edges but most forest is relatively far from edge. Nest success of Acadian Flycatchers and Prothonotary Warblers was similar in narrow and wide levees; nest success of North

I conducted demographic and behavioral studies of Western Sandpipers (Calidris mauri) breeding on the Yukon-Kuskokwim River Delta, Alaska (1998-2005).

Diel dissolved oxygen (DO) data were used to characterize seasonal, inter-annual, and longitudinal variation in production and respiration for the James River Estuary. Two computational methods (Bayesian and bookkeeping) were applied to these data to determine whether inferences regarding DO metabolism are sensitive to methodology. Net metabolism was sensitive to methodology as Bayesian results indicated net heterotrophy (production < respiration) while bookkeeping results indicated net autotrophy (production > respiration). Differences in net metabolism among the methods was due to low season

Abstract:
The conservation of lotic ecosystems has historically focused on maintaining the structural properties and processes of river systems, considered as surrogates for the protection of biological diversity. However, the geological structure of the catchment unit and the hierarchical, longitudinal nature of the rivers that drain them impose a number of potential barriers to dispersal. This creates a mosaic of aquatic islands within a terrestrial landscape. As such the protection of biodiversity and biological processes requires considerations that extend beyond the catchment unit.
