Ecoflows body size analysis
July 14, 2025
The code repository has been produced by the CONUS Ecological Flows project and contains scripts to run an analysis of fish body size relationships with flow regimes, functional traits, and land-use.
This code can be run with the input dataset found from Woods (2025).

Integrating theory and empirical patterns: Fish body size distributions, life history traits, and environmental flows in streams Integrating theory and empirical patterns: Fish body size distributions, life history traits, and environmental flows in streams
Individual size distributions (ISDs) are prominent in ecological research and may support resource managers with ecosystem-scale objectives. We use a database of individual size measurements for US stream fishes to test for direct and indirect effects of traits, flow regimes, and land use on the interspecific ISD exponent. Path analysis indicates that traits have strong, direct effects...
