Streamflow is a main driver of fish population dynamics and is projected to decrease in
much of the northern hemisphere, especially in the Mediterranean region, due to climate …

Rivers regulated by dams display several ecosystem alterations due to modified flow and
sediment regimes. Downstream from a dam, ecosystem degradation occurs because of …

Hydropeaking operation leads to fluctuations in wetted area between base and peak flow
and increases discharge‐related hydraulic forces (eg flow velocity). These processes …

Trout growth and production are controlled by (1) the area and quality of habitat for
sequential life history stages,(2) the availability and production of invertebrate prey, and (3) …

The influence of stream channel structure on the production of prey for drift-feeding fish is
not well understood. We quantified drift production, the entry rate per streambed area, and …

Software is now available to apply a salmonid bioenergetic drift-foraging model to generate
values of net energy intake (NEI) over a range of water depths and velocities. The …

River ecosystems have been heavily degraded globally due to channel hydromorphological
modifications or alterations to catchment-wide processes. Restoration actions aimed at …

Water abstraction modifies the environmental conditions of stream ecosystems, which can
affect invertebrate assemblages by altering drift. We examined this issue with a before–after …

Concrete grade-control structures (CGCSs) have broad application prospects in the
restoration of large rivers. But there is a lack of indicators to evaluate CGCSs at laboratory …

This study advances understanding of the flow dependency of invertebrate drift in rivers and
its relevance to drift-feeding fish. Background drift concentration varied spatially and with …
