b'Jason Knouft, from Saint Louis University, Missouri, talks to Elizabeth Horne about his recently published paper, "Using fine-scale GIS data to assess the relationship between intra-annual environmental niche variability and population density in a local stream fish assemblage". Jason establishes the need for broad-scale geographic considerations of ecological issues, and explains how the application of these methods on a finer scale can yield new and valuable insights into the exploitation of ecological niches by local populations, and such populations\\u2019 likely reactions to new seasonal and environmental stresses.\\n\\nRead the article: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.2041-210X.2010.00076.x/full'
