Patterns in Freshwater Fish Ecology

The book aims to consolidate existing knowledge on the ecology of freshwater fishes, drawing inspiration from H. B. N. H. Hynes' work on stream ecology. It addresses a gap in the literature by synthesizing various recent studies on fish ecology, including biogeographic and local scales. The author references significant contributions such as the "Fish Atlas" and works by Hocutt and Wiley, which have provided foundational insights into fish distribution and ecology. This volume seeks to offer a comprehensive overview while complementing previous research in the field.
