| Notes | Some of the major events that have affected the evolution of fishes on the Pacific Northwest Coast include Miocene basalt flows, the rise of the Coast Range, glaciation and geographic isolation. This most interesting article examines the evolutionary history and species richness (or lack of it) in freshwater fishes in the region. “My purpose is to describe discrete geographic areas based on geological features, habitat, and distribution discontinuities in coastal freshwater fishes in Oregon and Washington” (p.73). |
