This review summarizes the key factors of a series of articles about animal plankton in rivers,
a topic that remains poorly investigated. Running water, in which sampling processes are …

The ecology of rotifer assemblages in the periphyton has received little attention relative to
that of pelagic rotifers. This paper reviews the ecology of periphytic rotifers, with particular …

We propose a simple, user-friendly key joined to a pictorial key to the bdelloid genera, in the
attempt to make bdelloid identification more accessible to non-bdelloid-specialists. The key …

Significant ecological effects of run-of-river dams on stream chemistry, benthic algae,
phytoplankton, macroinvertebrates, macrophytes and fish have been found. However, the …

Large river–floodplain systems are characterised by seasonal flow variability. High flows
lead to hydrological connection between the main channel and inundated off‐channel lakes …

Floodplain systems along rivers are influenced by the hydrological regime of the river to an
extent which depends on the degree of connectivity. As a result, the age of water within the …

There is still considerable debate as to whether the allochthonous (terrestrial) dissolved
organic matter (DOM) mobilised during large flow events plays an important role in …

Seasonal dynamics of all major protozoan groups were investigated in the plankton of the
River Danube, upstream of Budapest (Hungary), by bi-weekly sampling over a 1-year long …

In order to explore the temporal impacts of a small dam on riverine zooplankton, monthly
samples were conducted from November 2005 to June 2006 in a reach of **angxi River …

Fish larvae require high densities of appropriately sized prey items for their survival and
recruitment. It has been widely assumed that inundated floodplains are the major source of …
