“…Growns and West 2008;Bond et al 2010), information on the hydrologic regime of individual river reaches was seen as a key component of the environmental-data requirements for modelling climate-change impacts. Although there is an increasing emphasis on ecologically relevant aspects of the flow regime in studies of climate-change impacts on runoff (e.g.…”

“…Numerous studies have demonstrated predictable relationships between hydro-climatic conditions and the distribution patterns of freshwater biota -especially fish and macroinvertebrates (e.g. Poff and Allan 1995;Leathwick et al 2005;Growns and West 2008). In rivers, patterns of flow variability are a major driver of ecosystem structure and function, and thus changes in flow can have a strong impact on species occurrence patterns (e.g.…”

“…Here, based on fixed differences in allozymes and relationships and divergences estimated from mtDNA sequences, we have identified cryptic diversity within two widespread and well-studied diadromous fishes and suggest candidates for distinct taxa. northern-most populations (Growns & West, 2008). This suggest the northern-most populations could be locally adapted ecotypes, however more extensive sampling would be needed to fully resolve the taxonomy and reject phenotypic plasticity.…”

“…Both candidate taxa also display distinctive morphology from each other and from their southern counterparts (Raadik, unpublished). Species distribution models based on the location of other G. brevipinnis populations and including 10 environmental factors (e.g., average rainfall, temperature, slope and elevation), failed to predict the occurrence of these northern‐most populations (Growns & West, 2008). This suggest the northern‐most populations could be locally adapted ecotypes, however more extensive sampling would be needed to fully resolve the taxonomy and reject phenotypic plasticity.…”

“…Thus, it is possible to predict the suitability of sites as habitats for a given fish species using estimated natural values of local habitat variables (Mugodo et al 2006). Generally, these studies were conducted in big rivers or lakes, where fish species distribution can be highly influenced by upstream or downstream location and seasonality (Winemiller & Pianka 1990, Chick et al 2006, Buisson & Grenouillet 2009), or bioregional distribution (Grownsa & Westb 2008). Those aspects have not similarity with Media Luna conditions because this system is small and the thermal water flow remains constant along the year.…”
