This systematic literature review examined comprehensive methods for assessing the
aquatic ecological health of artificial water reservoirs covering studies conducted globally …

Many methods for estimating the functional diversity of biological communities rely on
measuring geometrical properties of n‐dimensional hypervolumes in a trait space. To date …

Temporary rivers, forming the majority of river networks worldwide, are key biodiversity
hotspots. Despite their great value for maintaining biodiversity and ecosystem functioning …

The urgent need for highly resolved and broad biomonitoring has never been greater as
challenges such as climate change, agricultural intensification and biodiversity loss …

Small streams dominate river networks and collectively support high biodiversity, but are
rarely included in regulatory biomonitoring programmes. Macroinvertebrate communities are …

Most empirical metacommunity studies rely solely on morphological identification of taxa,
precluding the species-level identification of several biotic groups, which can influence the …

DNA metabarcoding targeting the mitochondrial COI gene. Although communities
determined by sediment eDNA did not detect variations in biotic indices (ie, IBMWP and …

Climate change along with the increasing exploitation of water resources exacerbates low-
flow periods, causing detrimental effects on riverine communities. The main mitigation …

Temporary streams, those which sometimes dry, comprise> 50% of the global river network
and support communities which include both aquatic and terrestrial species. As such …

The resilience of marine species in the face of unpredictable climate change stands as a
paramount concern for the maintenance of ecological stability. Under such fluctuating …
