The transport of resource subsidies by animals has been documented across a range of
species and ecosystems. Although many of these studies have shown that animal resource …

Streams and adjacent terrestrial ecosystems are characterized by permeable boundaries
that are crossed by resource subsidies. Although the importance of these subsidies for …

Artificial light at night (ALAN) is a widespread alteration of the natural environment that can
affect the functioning of ecosystems. ALAN can change the movement patterns of freshwater …

Rivers are the great shapers of terrestrial landscapes. Very few points on Earth above sea
level do not lie within a drainage basin. Even points distant from the nearest channel are …

Dams impound the majority of rivers and provide important societal benefits, especially daily
water releases that enable on-peak hydroelectricity generation. Such “hydropeaking” is …

Floods, spatially complex water flows, and organism movements all generate important
fluxes of aquatic-derived materials into terrestrial habitats, counteracting the gravity-driven …

Abstract Knowledge of ecosystem-size influences on river populations and communities is
integral to the balancing of human and environmental needs for water. The multiple …

Aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems are connected through reciprocal fluxes of energy and
nutrients that can subsidize consumers. Past research on reciprocal aquatic–terrestrial …

Ecological drift can override the effects of deterministic niche selection on small populations
and drive the assembly of some ecological communities. We tested this hypothesis with a …

Cross-ecosystem fluxes can crucially influence the productivity of adjacent habitats.
Emerging aquatic insects represent one important pathway through which freshwater …
