Large-scale biodiversity changes are measured mainly through the responses of a few
taxonomic groups. Much less is known about the trends affecting most invertebrates and …

Based on the bestselling book, Rivers of North America, this new guide stands as the only
primary source of complete and comparative baseline data on the biological and …

Understanding how and why local communities change is a pressing task for conservation,
especially in freshwater systems. It remains challenging because of the complexity of …

Previous studies evaluating the success of river restorations have rarely found any
consistent effects on benthic invertebrate assemblages. In this study, we analyzed data from …

Restoration is an increasingly central theme in river ecology. Recent studies have
highlighted the importance of the species pool in the surrounding river network for …

Abstract The European Water Framework Directive (WFD) has led to an increase in
hydromorphological restoration attempts in European rivers, but data on the ecological …

Uncertainty around the changing ecological status of European rivers reflects an evolving
array of anthropogenic stressors, including climate change. Although previous studies have …

What defines success and failure of river restoration measures is a strongly debated topic in
restoration science, but standardized approaches to evaluate either are still not available …

Hydromorphological river restoration usually leads to habitat diversification, but the effects
on benthic invertebrates, which are frequently used to assess river ecological status, are …

An ecosystem shifts to an alternative stable state when a threshold of accumulated pressure
(ie direct impact of environmental change or human activities) is exceeded. Detecting this …
