Identifying and quantifying relationships among landscape patterns, anthropogenic
disturbances, and aquatic ecosystems is a new and rapidly develo** approach to riverine …

In the last three decades, predictive models have been developed and applied worldwide
for freshwater bioassessment. They consist of statistical tools that follow the concept of the …

Summer air and stream water temperatures are expected to rise in the state of Wisconsin,

Since the relative role of local and regional abiotic factors on the Odonata diversity in
rainforest streams is still poorly understood, we evaluated the effects of these factors on …

The geographical ranges of species are influenced by three components: spatial distribution
of environmental conditions, biotic interactions and the dispersal capacity of species. The …

The bioassessment and monitoring of the ecological status of rivers using macrophytes has
gained new momentum since macrophytes were recognised as biological quality elements …

Stream fish bioassessment methods assume that fish assemblages observed in sample
sites reflect responses to local stressors, but fish assemblages are influenced by local …

Species distribution models are widely used for stream bioassessment, estimating changes
in habitat suitability and identifying conservation priorities. We tested the accuracy of three …

Conservation efforts for threatened or endangered species are challenging because the
multi‐scale factors that relate to their decline or inhibit their recovery are often unknown. To …
