Risks to Fish Populations in Dryland Rivers From the Combined Threats of Drought and Instream Barriers

Risks to Fish Populations in Dryland Rivers From the Combined Threats of Drought and Instream Barriers

In dryland rivers, flow intermittency means fish populations are often subjected to drought disturbance. The viability of these fish populations depends on the availability of waterhole refuges for individuals to survive drought (resistance) and the ability of surviving fish to repopulate the rivers...
