The observed distributions of two grazing minnows differ along a stream-size gradient in grassland streams and may be linked to temperature. In laboratory experiments, we assayed a suite of physiological traits along a temperature gradient and found that species differed in critical thermal maxima, with subtle differences in other traits.
