Diversity–Production Relationships of Fish Communities in Freshwater Stream Ecosystems
Myers BJ, Dolloff CA, Webster JR, Nislow KH, Rypel AL. 2021. Diversity–Production Relationships of Fish Communities in Freshwater Stream Ecosystems. Diversity and Distributions. 27(9):1807-1817
ABSTRACT: The diversity–production relationship observed for stream fish communities was similar to other studies but demonstrated one of the highest slopes. Our results demonstrate that effects of biodiversity resonate to influence the production of fishes; thus, management of fisheries is more closely coupled to biodiversity than previously thought.
