我们在许多生态水力学文献中对生态学的作用进行了评论。不幸的是，评论者在很大程度上试图维护现状，而没有解决已确定的生态弱点，他们陷入了一些哲学和逻辑陷阱，这些陷阱在研究人员进行多种统计测试时通常会出现。我们认为，许多研究人员经常对丰度与环境的关系做出错误的假设，导致基于这些关系的许多推论、预测、模型和管理工具在逻辑上存在缺陷。评论者试图驳斥生态水力学中潜在的富有成果的研究领域的建议是似是而非的，与当前的文献不一致。版权所有John Wiley & Sons， Ltd。
We respond to comments on our review of the role of ecology in much of the ecohydraulics literature. Unfortunately, the commentators have attempted largely to defend the status quo without addressing the identified ecological weaknesses, and they have fallen into some philosophical and logical traps that commonly occur when researchers carry out multiple statistical tests. We maintain that many researchers routinely make incorrect assumptions about abundance-environment relationships, with the consequence that many inferences, predictions, models and management tools based on these relationships are logically flawed. The commentators' attempts to dismiss suggestions of potentially fruitful areas of research in ecohydraulics are specious and out of step with the current literature.
