Patterns of fish habitat use in Mediterranean streams-type
Description
The aim of this study is to contribute to the understanding of the Mediterranean freshwater fish ecology, emphasising the habitat use patterns. Extreme seasonal variations in flow regime are observed in many Mediterranean streams, which leads to alternating lotic (with flow) and lentic (no flow) environments. Considering the complex processes occurring in temporary streams, the patterns of fish habitat use should be assessed in different temporal and spatial scales.
