Floodplains perform diverse functions, including attenuation of fluxes of water, solutes, and
particulate material. Critical details of floodplain storage including magnitude, duration, and …

Dams have disrupted natural river systems worldwide and although population and
community level effects on aquatic biota have been well documented, food web responses …

Stable nitrogen isotope signatures (δ 15 N) are increasingly used to infer the trophic position
of consumers in food web studies. Interpreting the δ 15 N of consumers relative to the δ 15 N …

Riverine particulate organic matter (POM) samples were collected bi‐weekly to monthly from
40 sites in the Mississippi, Colorado, Rio Grande, and Columbia River Basins (USA) in 1996 …

The recent expansion of natural abundance stable isotope methods has rapidly increased
our understanding of freshwater food web ecology. Investigators now routinely use stable …

This paper addresses the river heterotrophy paradox,“How can animal biomass within
riverine food webs be fueled primarily by autochthonous autotrophic production if the …

Quantitative assessment of food habits is an important aspect of fisheries management.
Successful management of sport fishes often hinges on our ability to manage prey resources …

This book presents the most comprehensive model yet for describing the structure and
functioning of running freshwater ecosystems. Riverine Ecosystems Synthesis (RES) is a …

Large dams have been constructed on rivers to meet human demands for water, electricity,
navigation, and recreation. As a consequence, flow and temperature regimes have been …

The serial discontinuity concept (SDC; Ward and Stanford, in Ecology of River Systems,
1983) predicts that recovery of large regulated rivers over distance downstream from a dam …
