Non-perennial Mediterranean rivers in Europe: status, pressures, and challenges for research and management
Non-perennial rivers and streams (NPRS) cover> 50% of the global river network. They are
particularly predominant in Mediterranean Europe as a result of dry climate conditions …

Reconceptualising the beta diversity‐environmental heterogeneity relationship in running water systems
Beta diversity modelling has received increased interest recently. There are multiple
definitions of beta diversity, but here, we focus on variability in species composition among …

Intermittent rivers: a challenge for freshwater ecology
For many decades, river research has been focused on perennial rivers. Intermittent river
research has a shorter history, and recent studies suggest that alternating dry and wet …

Pervasive changes in stream intermittency across the United States
Non-perennial streams are widespread, critical to ecosystems and society, and the subject
of ongoing policy debate. Prior large-scale research on stream intermittency has been …

Ecological research and management of intermittent rivers: an historical review and future directions
Rivers and streams that do not flow permanently (herein intermittent rivers; IR s) make up a
large proportion of the world's inland waters and are gaining widespread attention. We …

Towards understanding the organisation of metacommunities in highly dynamic ecological systems
Community ecology recognises today that local biological communities are not only affected
by local biotic interactions and abiotic environmental conditions, but also by regional …

The terrestrial and semi‐aquatic invertebrates of intermittent rivers and ephemeral streams
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 …

Causes, responses, and implications of anthropogenic versus natural flow intermittence in river networks
Rivers that do not flow year-round are the predominant type of running waters on Earth.
Despite a burgeoning literature on natural flow intermittence (NFI), knowledge about the …
