A collaborative effort by dozens of biologists and ecologists, Field Guide toWisconsin Streams is accessible to anglers, teachers and students, amateur naturalists, and experienced scientists alike.
            More than 1,000 images illustrate the species in this field guide. These images are augmented by detailed ecological and taxonomic notes, descriptions of look-alike species, and distribution maps. The guide identifies:
o more than 130 common plants
o all 120 fishes known to inhabit Wisconsin streams
o 8 crayfishes
o 50 mussels
o 10 amphibians
o 17 reptiles

"Great illustrations, clear and practical information, and breadth of coverage make this guide a winner. It will be a go-to resource for amateurs and professionals drawn to Wisconsin's streams."--Emily Stanley, University of Wisconsin-Madison

"Well-done field guide filled with an abundance of photographs and line drawings. . . . The book is small and lightweight, making it convenient for use in the field. . . . Will benefit any amateur or professional in the field, particularly because of the many helpful images."--Wisconsin Natural Resources magazinee

"Accessible for the professional biologist, as well as schoolteachers wanting students to identify stream life, or the general public interested in stream ecology. . . . Useful throughout the region as ranges of many of the species and taxonomic groups covered in this guide cross state lines into . . . Michigan, Minnesota, Illinois, or Iowa."--Ecological Restoration
