After two albums, original drummer John Kiffmeyer left for college; their new drummer wrote one of their earliest word-of-mouth hits, "Dominated Love Song."

Thesis submitted by Boga Soni Figa Post Graduate Diploma of Science (JCU) Graduate Certificate in Research Methods (JCU) In August 2014 For the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy In the School of Marine and Tropical Biology James Cook University I Abstract In the face of continuous threats to the freshwater systems of the world from waste of anthropogenic origins and climate-induced environmental changes, the productivity of large floodplain ecosystems in virtually every continent is under serious threat of survival. Fish distributions and temporal dynamics are in part functions of habitat structure and conditions. Riverine fish population biology and dynamics have been studied extensively worldwide and described under various river productivity models that explain community dynamics and structure according to a range of spatial and temporal factors. Fish distribution and movements have been described in four dimensions – longitudinal, lateral, vertical, and temporal (seasonal) – that reflect the dynamic spatial and temporal nature of fish movements and habitat requirements in freshwater systems.
