Microplastics (MPs) in rivers present an ecological risk. In this paper, we review hydro-
geomorphological, biological, and allochthonous factors that may influence the distribution …

Minimum flows in rivers and streams aim to provide a certain level of protection for the
aquatic environment. The level of protection is described by a measure such as a prescribed …

Visual assessments of habitat type (pool, run, riffle) and physical measurements at 1112
points in a gravel‐bed river were used to derive an objective method for distinguishing pool …

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 …

The dynamic component in hydrology, sedimentology, and, consequently, river morphology
serves as a backbone for the entire river environment (Maddock 1999). In addition to water …

Methods to assess the physical habitat available to aquatic organisms provide important
tools for many aspects of river management, including river health monitoring, determination …

The primary components of the physical habitat in a stream are water depth, velocity and
substrate size, and these appear to be the best predictors of benthic invertebrate distribution …

We relate invertebrate assemblages to direct measurements of near‐bed hydraulic
conditions that integrate the complex three‐dimensional structure of flow close to the bottom …

Macroinvertebrates play a key role in the littoral zone of lakes. Macroinvertebrate community
composition is closely linked to habitat conditions. To date, there have been few attempts to …

This study examined how the leptophlebiid mayfly Deleatidium spp., the mudsnail
Potamopyrgus antipodarum, and stony-cased caddisflies Pycnocentrodes aeris and …
