Resistance, resilience, and community dynamics in mediterranean-climate streams
Y Hershkovitz, A Gasith - Hydrobiologia, 2013 - Springer
Streams and rivers in mediterranean-climate regions (med-rivers) are subjected to
sequential, yet contrasting hydrologic disturbances of drying and flooding. Although …

Resetting the river template: The potential for climate‐related extreme floods to transform river geomorphology and ecology
Climate change is expected to alter the occurrence of extreme climatic events, including
major floods. Future shifts in the frequency and intensity of extreme floods will vary by region …

Habitat heterogeneity drives the geographical distribution of beta diversity: the case of N ew Z ealand stream invertebrates
To define whether the beta diversity of stream invertebrate communities in N ew Z ealand
exhibits geographical variation unexplained by variation in gamma diversity and, if so, what …

Biodiversity of aquatic insects: spatial gradients and environmental correlates of assemblage-level measures at large scales
J Heino - Freshwater reviews, 2009 - BioOne
Biodiversity embraces multiple facets of the variability of nature, although most research has
dealt separately with population-, species-and assemblage-level measures. This review …

Measuring stream macroinvertebrate responses to gradients of vegetation cover: when is enough enough?
RG Death, KJ Collier - Freshwater Biology, 2010 - Wiley Online Library
Management of stream biodiversity is often tightly linked with the restoration and protection
of riparian and catchment vegetation. Despite that, there are no established guidelines on …

Time is no healer: Increasing restoration age does not lead to improved benthic invertebrate communities in restored river reaches
Evidence for successful restoration of riverine communities is scarce, particularly for benthic
invertebrates. Among the multitude of reasons discussed so far for the lack of observed …
