Research on stream and river temperatures is reviewed with particular attention being given
to advances in understanding gained since 1990 and on investigations of fundamental …

Landscape perspectives in riverine ecology have been undertaken increasingly in the last
30 years, leading aquatic ecologists to develop a diverse set of approaches for …

Temporal environmental fluctuations, such as seasonality, exert strong controls on
biodiversity. While the effects of seasonality are well known, the predictability of fluctuations …

Despite escalating conflict over fresh water, recent years have witnessed a growing
realisation that human society must modify its behaviour to ensure long‐term ecological …

Water temperatures fluctuate in time and space, creating diverse thermal regimes on river
networks. Temporal variability in these thermal landscapes has important biological and …

Prevailing theory suggests that stream temperature warms asymptotically in a downstream
direction, beginning at the temperature of the source in the headwaters and levelling off …

Concerns for water resources have inspired research developments to determine the
ecological effects of water withdrawals from rivers and flow regulation below dams, and to …

The natural hydrological regime of the Yangtze River has been influenced by dam
construction over past decades. More reservoirs are being built and have been planned in …

Intermittent water releases from hydropower plants, called hydropeaking, negatively affect
river biota. The impacts mainly depend on hydrological alterations, but changes in physical …

The present study provides a detailed quantification of the 'thermopeaking'phenomenon,
which consists of sharp intermittent alterations of stream thermal regime associated with …
