| But they work fine for most situations, and most species, in East Texas' sluggish rivers, bayous, oxbows and sloughs, too. |
|
| In essence, the stream follows a lower, more confined route, whilst a series of meandering high-level oxbows provide convenient bypasses. |
|
| The minnow's range likely ebbed as insulated oxbows and shallow pools gradually disappeared. |

|
| It will be Europe's largest protected river area and will safeguard floodplain forest, river islands, gravel banks and oxbows that provide rare habitat for biologically diverse plants and animals. |
|
| Such habitat is found in backwaters, bayous, drainage ditches, floodplain lakes, marshes, oxbows, sloughs and wetlands. Critical habitats are likely decreasing in size and quality. |
|
| Floodplains elevated only a few feet above river level, abandoned river channels, and oxbows may have standing or sluggishly flowing water for appreciable parts of the year and thus support swamps and marshes. |
|
