Abstract: 1. One current approach to the prediction of community characteristics is to use models of key local‐scale processes (e.g. niche dimensions) affecting individuals and to estimate the effects of these attributes over larger scales. We tested this approach, focusing on how the hydraulic habitat structures fluvial fish communities. 2. We used a recent statistical habitat model to predict fish community characteristics in eleven reaches in the Rhône river basin in France. Predictions were made ‘blindly’ since most… Show more

“…Indeed, rivers are highly variable environments and are periodically subjected to extreme and often unpredictable fluctuations in their physical and chemical characteristics (e.g. flow, temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, conductivity) and these fluctuations have been shown to affect the richness and structure of river fish assemblages (Horwitz, 1978;Grossman, 1982;Grossman et al, 1982Grossman et al, , 1985Grossman et al, , 1990Grossman et al, , 1998Schlosser, 1985;Merona, 1986;Schlosser and Ebel, 1989;Henderson and Walker, 1990;Poff and Allan, 1995;Landivar, 1995;Agostinho and Zalewski, 1995;Tito de Morais et al, 1995;Carrel and Rivier, 1996;Danehy et al, 1998;Lamouroux et al, 1999;Oberdorff et al, 2001b;TejerinaGarro, 2001;Fialho 2002) by leading to local population extinctions, individual immigration and emigration in response to current conditions and through recruitment success (Freeman et al, 1988;Carrel and Rivier, 1996). Furthermore, the importance of intradrainage immigration in shaping assemblage richness and structure has been emphasized by Osborne and Wiley (1992).…”

“…A trait-based analysis can be completed by specifically linking physical habitat structures with basic biological needs of stream organisms, and fully utilizing existing autecology information on organisms from the potential recolonization pool [20,[113][114][115][116][117][118]. Why an organism occupies a particular stream location at a given time is therefore influenced predominantly by specific channel morphologies and hydraulic conditions [77,80,88,[119][120][121][122][123][124]. Within specific channel morphologies and hydraulic conditions, each species has a unique relationship to the different characteristics of physical stream habitat in order to find the basic biological resources for survival, e.g., food, reproduction, and shelter.…”

“…The relative abundance of fish species (as "community structure indices", see Minns et al 1996 for discussion) or species Aquatic habitat modelling: biological validations of IFIM traits (i.e. reproductive, trophic, morphological) are predicted (Lamouroux et al 1999b). The predictions have been validated for low flow conditions (low flow corresponding to the ever exceeded value 80% of time in the classified flows chronicle) with observations within eleven reaches of Rhône river (Lamouroux et al 1999b).…”

The predictions have been validated for low flow conditions (low flow corresponding to the ever exceeded value 80% of time in the classified flows chronicle) with observations within eleven reaches of Rhône river (Lamouroux et al 1999b). In addition, the "community structure indices" are linked to simple physical descriptors of the reach (Froude and Reynolds numbers).…”
