Hydrology drives variation in spawning phenologies and diversity of larval assemblages of Australian wet-dry tropical fish

Kyle J. Tyler et al.

Summary: The study investigated the reproductive ecology of freshwater fish in the Daly River, Northern Territory, Australia, across different flow types. It found that spawning during low-flow dry season periods was important for many fish taxa, while larval assemblages in the wet season were more diverse than in other seasons. The results suggest that maintaining diverse fish assemblages may require maintaining hydrological conditions catchment-wide during both low and high-flow periods.

Drivers of zooplankton dynamics in a small tropical lowland river

Paul C. Godfrey et al.

Summary: Limited information is available on the ecology of planktonic invertebrate assemblages of small tropical lowland rivers, despite zooplankton being a vital resource for larval fish. This study focused on the spatial patterns and temporal dynamics of invertebrate zooplankton in the lowland section of a short coastal river in the Australian Wet Tropics over a 25-month period. The results showed that the zooplankton assemblage was influenced by downstream distance, salinity, incised nature of the river, perennial flows, slack waters, wet season floods, and estuarine incursion. The dynamics of zooplankton in this river differ from the typical pattern of tropical floodplain systems.
