Wetland area in agricultural landscapes has been heavily reduced to gain land for crop
production, but in recent years there is increased societal recognition of the negative …

Intermittent rivers and ephemeral streams (IRES), which cease flow and/or dry at some point,
are the most abundant waterways on earth, and are found on every continent. They can …

Geomorphic units are the elementary spatial physical features of the river mosaic at the
reach scale that are nested within the overall hydromorphological structure of a river and its …

Of all ecosystems, freshwaters support the most dynamic and highly concentrated
biodiversity on Earth. These attributes of freshwater biodiversity along with increasing …

Riparian areas are biologically rich ecosystems, but they are highly threatened across the
globe. Invertebrates represent a large proportion of the animal diversity within riparian …

Habitat connectivity and dispersal interact to structure metacommunities, but few studies
have examined these patterns jointly for organisms across the aquatic–terrestrial ecotone …

Flood dynamics are important drivers of wetland biodiversity. With current climate and land-
use changes affecting overall water cycling, many wetland ecosystems are at risk of …

Although intermittent rivers (IR s) are coupled aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, their
constituent communities are generally considered separately by ecologists. Yet, both …

Wetland hydrological dynamics often dictate the composition of biological communities
found in or near wetlands, either directly or through changes in vegetation composition …

Drying disturbances are the primary determinant of aquatic community biodiversity in
dynamic river ecosystems. Research exploring how communities respond to disturbance …
