We are researchers at Michigan State University interested in the effects of landscape scale factors on the biological and physical features of rivers.
Check out this new paper from our lab, led by Dr. Hao Yu. We predict future turnover and range shifts due to climate change for 55 widely distributed stream fishes with differing thermal preferences. Most cold/cool water and some small-bodied warm-water species were projected to lose habitat.
Evaluating species richness, turnover, and range shifts under climate change for fluvial fishes in Northeastern and Midwestern USA - Ecological Processes
Background Fluvial fish habitat in the Northeastern and Midwestern U.S. is substantially affected by natural landscape factors and anthropogenic stressors, with climate change expected to alter natura...

Congratulations to Dr. Kyle Brumm, the newest PhD from our lab, on the successful defense of his dissertation today! Kyle presented his multifaceted research: Explaining stream fish responses to changing environmental conditions: Using a functional biogeography approach across large spatial extents.

Joel Betts, one of our PhD students, had the opportunity to provide some insight on a fish die-off in a local park pond last week!
What's a winterkill? Small ponds in Michigan seeing large-scale fish die-offs
In a pond off the beaten path in Grand Rapids, hundreds of dead fish — carp, bluegill and bass — are piled up against a beaver dam. Bloated and belly side up, they rot in the spring sun.

In a recent study, we compiled a trait database representing more than 120 species to investigate responses of fishes to environmental conditions in the Upper Mississippi and Yangtze Rivers. Our insights may be used to promote the effectiveness of inter-basin partnerships in large rivers globally.
Relationships between environmental variables and fish functional groups in impounded reaches of the Upper Mississippi and Yangtze Rivers
Large rivers throughout the world have been transformed by anthropogenic stressors that are known to influence the structure and composition of fish a…
