Macroinvertebrates are an important component of stream ecosystems and are a link in the
transfer of material and energy from producers to top level consumers and also act as …

In freshwater environments, high biodiversity is commonly associated with habitat
heterogeneity. River bends and meanders are particularly complex morphodynamic …

1. Submerged macrophytes have important physical and structural effects on lowland
streams. This study investigated the ability of submerged macrophytes to modify the near …

Tributary confluences are sites along a main channel where, because of the introduction of
water and (or) sediment, the water volume, bed sediment character, and water quality of the …

Water quality, habitat, and biota were compared during spring amongst c. 100 m reaches on
11 streams draining pasture, native (podocarp‐broadleaf) forest, and exotic pine forest …

Community structure of benthic macroinvertebrates was studied in six first-through fourth-
order streams in northeast France, to elucidate changes in richness, abundance, diversity …

Stream invertebrate communities are the product of multiple-scale habitat filters, and a major
goal in community ecology is to determine which scales most influence the relationships …

The influence of hydraulic conditions on the spatial distribution of macroinvertebrate
assemblages was investigated in three riffles in a perennial Australian river. 2. Velocity …

1. The spatial distribution of macroinvertebrate species was examined in relation to
hydraulic and sedimentary conditions in a large gravel‐bed river, the Fraser River, Canada …

Rooted macrophytes in temperate lowland streams are often distributed in monospecific
patches which control flow, carbon fluxes, and the abundance of invertebrates and fish …
