River ecosystems face growing threats from human‐induced stressors, resulting in habitat
degradation and biodiversity loss. Crucial to these ecosystems, macroinvertebrates maintain …

One of the desired outcomes of dam decommissioning and removal is the recovery of
aquatic and riparian ecosystems. To investigate this common objective, we synthesized …

Metabarcoding of bulk or environmental DNA has great potential for biomonitoring of
freshwater environments. However, successful application of metabarcoding to biodiversity …

Sediment flushing can tackle reservoirs siltation and improve sediment flux through dammed
rivers. However, the increase of the sediment loading below the dam can trigger a suite of …

In semi-arid regions, water policy has strongly promoted the construction of water reservoirs
with little or no consideration for their ecological consequences. In order to quantify the effect …

Understanding ecological processes that drive metacommunity dynamics is essential for
elucidating the mechanisms of community assembly and for guiding biodiversity …

Dams have fragmented rivers and threatened aquatic biodiversity globally. However, the
findings regarding dam impacts on riverine macroinvertebrates vary across regions and …

Background River damming inevitably reshapes water thermal conditions that are important
to the general health of river ecosystems. Although a lot of studies have addressed the …

There is growing interest in the use of DNA barcoding and metabarcoding approaches to aid
biological assessments and monitoring of waterbodies. While biodiversity measured by …

The removal of dams from rivers has become a common and widespread practice in the
United States and Europe. Although often initiated by factors like economics and safety …
