Deforestation and stream warming affect body size of Amazonian fishes
Deforestation and stream warming affect body size of Amazonian fishes
Deforested streams were up to 6 ÊC warmer and had fish 36% smaller than forest streams on average. This body size reduction could be largely explained by the responses of the four most common species, which were 43±55% smaller in deforested streams.
