Fish communities face increasing anthropogenic pressures in freshwater and marine
ecosystems that modify their biodiversity and threaten the services they supply to human …

Eutrophication resulting from high nutrient loading has been the paramount environmental
problem for lakes world-wide for the past four decades. Efforts are being made in many parts …

River networks are hierarchical dendritic habitats embedded within the terrestrial landscape,
with varying connectivity between sites depending on their positions along the network. This …

The natural flow regime concept has contributed significantly to environmental flows (e‐
flows) science and applications over the last 20 years. Natural flow regimes reflect long …

Traits underlie organismal responses to their environment and are essential to predict
community responses to environmental conditions under global change. Species differ in life …

The hydrologic regime is regarded as the primary driver of freshwater ecosystems,
structuring the physical habitat template, providing connectivity, framing biotic interactions …

Environmental flows assessment science focuses largely on defining how modified flow
regimes (from water infrastructure and direct water abstraction) can be managed to conserve …

Most bioassessment programs rest on the assumption that species have different niches,
and that abiotic environmental conditions and changes therein determine community …

Fish play a key role in the trophic dynamics of lakes. With climate warming, complex
changes in fish assemblage structure may be expected owing to direct effects of temperature …

In riverine ecosystems, streamflow determines the physical template upon which the life
history strategies of biota are forged. Human freshwater needs and activities have resulted …
