Precipitation regime drives key alterations in subtropical stream fish community assembly and functional trait distribution across a major rainfall gradient by Christopher M. Groff, Sean K. Kinard, J. Derek Hogan, Matt R. Whiles, Amber J. Ulseth, Bradley A. Strickland, Fernando Carvallo, Victoria Jenkins, Alexander T. Solis, Desiree A. Groff, Christopher Frazier, Connor L. Brown, Christopher J. Patrick

“…Relationships between their abundances and benthic primary producer densities may also point to changes in grazing pressure, possibly stemming from top-down trophic processes. The shift from communities with low functional diversity dominated by hypoxia-tolerant, herbivorous taxa to more diverse assemblages as rainfall rates increased was non-linear, which may represent an important precipitation-driven threshold in community assembly. …”
