Connectivity underpins the persistence of life; it needs to inform biodiversity conservation
decisions. Yet, when prioritising conservation areas and develo** actions, connectivity is …

Resilience in river ecosystems requires that organisms must persist in the face of highly
dynamic hydrological and geomorphological variations. Disturbance events such as floods …

River networks are hierarchical dendritic habitats embedded within the terrestrial landscape,
with varying connectivity between sites depending on their positions along the network. This …

Dispersal is an essential process in population and community dynamics, but is difficult to
measure in the field. In freshwater ecosystems, information on biological traits related to …

Regional‐scale ecological processes, such as the spatial flows of material, energy, and
organisms, are fundamental for maintaining biodiversity and ecosystem functioning in river …

Ponds are among the most biodiverse and ecologically important freshwater habitats
globally and may provide a significant opportunity to mitigate anthropogenic pressures and …

Although the influence of microbial community assembly processes on aquatic ecosystem
function and biodiversity is well known, the processes that govern planktonic communities in …

Rapid shifts in biotic communities due to environmental variability challenge the detection of
anthropogenic impacts by current biomonitoring programs. Metacommunity ecology has the …

Examining the relative contribution of local environmental stressors and regional factors in
structuring biological communities is essential for biodiversity conservation and …

The negative impact of urbanization on biodiversity can be buffered by blue (eg, rivers,
