Ontogenetic shifts by juvenile fishes highlight the need for habitat heterogeneity and connectivity in river restoration

Twan Stoffers; Anthonie D. Buijse; Jan Jaap Poos; Johan A. J. Verreth; Leopold A. J. Nagelkerke

The authors analysed the habitat use of larval and juvenile fishes in the lower river Rhine. More than 60 per cent of the fish species switched between five different habitat types during their development, which should be available both in the river and connected floodplains. However, human intervention has drastically altered and homogenised the European river landscapes.

Guiding Aquatic Reptile (Chelonian and Crocodylian) Conservation in the Face of Growing Light Pollution: Lessons From Experience

Megha Khanduri; Franz Hölker; Ruchika Sah; Syed Ainul Hussain; Ruchi Badola; Ulrika Candolin

The paper reviews existing knowledge on how aquatic reptiles, especially freshwater crocodilians and turtles, respond to light pollution and discusses existing mitigation strategies. Learning from measures that have proven effective for related taxa, such as sea turtles, could be useful in setting up initial measures to protect freshwater reptiles against light pollution.
