Environmental constraints structuring fish assemblages in riffles: evidences from a tropical stream

ABSTRACT Riffles are unique habitats regarding to assemblage structure. However, understanding how these assemblages respond to environmental variations in small spatial extents, as within a stream, is a challenge. We assess whether the quantitative structure and the trophic composition of fish asse...
