Hydropower is commonly considered a renewable energy source. Nevertheless, this does
not imply an absence of impacts on the riverine ecosystem, the extent of which is expected …

The effects of hydropeaking in the habitat of the Iberian barbel (Luciobarbus bocagei) a
native cyprinid fish species of the Iberian Peninsula, were investigated. Two study sites were …

We developed an individual‐based model (IBM) to understand the effects of hydropeaking
on growth, survival and distribution of age 0+ to 1+ juveniles for high‐conservation value …

Major threats of freshwater systems are river damming and habitat degradation, further
amplified by climate change, another major driver of biodiversity loss. This study aims to …

The hydropeaking regime below hydropower facilities represents a serious threat to riverine
fauna and may cause declines in populations living under its influence. However, the …

Hydroelectricity is critical for decarbonizing global energy production, but hydropower plants
affect rivers, disrupt their continuity, and threaten migrating fishes. This puts hydroelectricity …

One way to study ecological implications induced by hydropeaking represents the coupling
of hydrodynamic models with habitat suitability models, in which hydrodynamic parameters …

Hydropeaking is widely known for changing the quantity and quality of the available habitat
downstream of hydroelectric facilities, thus affecting all stages of fish life cycles …

Regulation for hydroelectric production (ie, hydropeaking) can impact aquatic species life
cycle. During 2016–2017, radiotelemetry was used to track 22 Iberian barbels during a 1 …

Expert judgment is regularly used in ecology for assessing the suitability of habitats, in
particular of rare or endangered species or species with limited empirical data. Yet …
