Variability in the summer movements, habitat use and thermal biology of two fish species in a temperate river (2024)
Journal Article
Amat-Trigo, F., Tarkan, A. S., Andreou, D., Aksu, S., Bolland, J. D., Gillingham, P. K., …Britton, J. R. (2024). Variability in the summer movements, habitat use and thermal biology of two fish species in a temperate river. Aquatic sciences, 86(3), Article 65. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00027-024-01073-y

The ability of fish to cope with warm water temperatures in summer depends on factors including their thermal traits and the ability of individuals to access cool-water refugia. Knowledge is highly limited on the in situ responses of many fishes to e...

Movements and habitat use of native and invasive piscivorous fishes in a temperate and channelized lowland river (2024)
Journal Article
Nolan, E. T., Hindes, A. M., Bolland, J. D., Davies, P., Gutmann Roberts, C., Tarkan, A. S., & Britton, J. R. (2024). Movements and habitat use of native and invasive piscivorous fishes in a temperate and channelized lowland river. Hydrobiologia, https://doi.org/10.1007/s10750-024-05533-2

Lowland temperate rivers provide important habitats for piscivorous fishes, but with their year-round spatial and temporal habitat use is often poorly understood, including their use of off-channel habitats. Here, the movements and habitat use of the... Read More about Movements and habitat use of native and invasive piscivorous fishes in a temperate and channelized lowland river.

Ex situ experimentation to determine if introduced artificial habitat can provide alternative refuge to hazardous anthropogenic structures (2024)
Journal Article
Norman, J., Clark, D., Henshaw, A., Wright, R. M., Cattaneo, M. E. G. V., & Bolland, J. D. (2024). Ex situ experimentation to determine if introduced artificial habitat can provide alternative refuge to hazardous anthropogenic structures. Restoration Ecology, Article e14157. https://doi.org/10.1111/rec.14157

Highly degraded lowland river ecosystems are of global concern to restoration practitioners. Hazardous anthropogenic structures, such as those used for water level management (i.e. pumping stations), present a mortality risk to fish and associated ch...

Genetic consequences of improved river connectivity in brown trout (Salmo trutta L.) (2024)
Journal Article
Moccetti, P., Dodd, J. R., Joyce, D. A., Nunn, A. D., Gillespie, B., & Bolland, J. D. (2024). Genetic consequences of improved river connectivity in brown trout (Salmo trutta L.). Evolutionary Applications, 17(4), Article e13660. https://doi.org/10.1111/eva.13660

Fragmentation of watercourses poses a significant threat to biodiversity, particularly for migratory fish species. Mitigation measures such as fishways, have been increasingly implemented to restore river connectivity and support fish migration. The...

Tracking aquatic animals for fisheries management in European waters (2024)
Journal Article
Özgül, A., Birnie-Gauvin, K., Abecasis, D., Alós, J., Aarestrup, K., Reubens, J., …Lennox, R. J. (2024). Tracking aquatic animals for fisheries management in European waters. Fisheries Management and Ecology, Article e12706. https://doi.org/10.1111/fme.12706

Acoustic telemetry (AT) has emerged as a valuable tool for monitoring aquatic animals in both European inland and marine waters over the past two decades. The European Tracking Network (ETN) initiative has played a pivotal role in promoting collabora... Read More about Tracking aquatic animals for fisheries management in European waters.

Tracking repeat spawning anadromous fish migrations over multiple years in a fragmented river suggests philopatry and sex-linked variation in space use (2024)
Journal Article
Davies, P., Britton, J. R., Andreou, D., Crundwell, C., Dodd, J. R., Lepais, O., …Bolland, J. D. (2024). Tracking repeat spawning anadromous fish migrations over multiple years in a fragmented river suggests philopatry and sex-linked variation in space use. Aquatic sciences, 86(2), https://doi.org/10.1007/s00027-024-01048-z

There is limited knowledge of how philopatry influences the spatial ecology of iteroparous anadromous species during their spawning migrations, but this knowledge is important in understanding population responses to interventions such as river recon...

Emigration of post-spawned twaite shad Alosa fallax, an anadromous and iteroparous fish, in a highly fragmented river (2024)
Journal Article
Yeldham, M. I., Britton, J. R., Crundwell, C., Davies, P., Dodd, J. R., Nunn, A. D., …Bolland, J. D. (2024). Emigration of post-spawned twaite shad Alosa fallax, an anadromous and iteroparous fish, in a highly fragmented river. Journal of fish biology, https://doi.org/10.1111/jfb.15713

Anthropogenic barriers are widely known to negatively impact the spawning migrations of anadromous fishes, by delaying or preventing passage upstream. Although the impacts of barriers on emigrating post-spawned adults are less well studied, they coul...
