A timely, authoritative monograph that charts the distribution of North American freshwater fish throughout the continent, attempts to explain these observed distribution tendencies, and develops a theory for the dispersal and evolution of these fishes through historical drainage patterns, plate tectonics, and Pleistocene glaciation. Chapters cover ichthyofaunal `provinces', fossil fishes, population ecology, and the effect of man's introduction of exotic species into the ecosystem.

Hocutt and Wiley Are Right On,
By Darren R Thornhill (Columbia, Missouri) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Zoogeography of North American Freshwater Fishes (Hardcover)
This book greatly improved my knowledge of North American glaciation and how glaciation affected the distribution of fishes. I especially enjoyed the way the chapters of the book are divided by drainages. This book is very informative and a must for those who are trying to explain the distribution of certain fishes in North America
