Morphological Selection in an Extreme Flow Environment: Body Shape and Waterfall-Climbing Success in the Hawaiian Stream Fish Sicyopterus stimpsoni
Flow characteristics are a prominent factor determining body shapes in aquatic organisms, and correlations between body shape and ambient flow regimes have been established for many fish species. In this study, we investigated the potential for a brief period of extreme flow to exert selection on th...
