The general perception of small run-of-river hydropower plants as renewable energy
sources with little or no environmental impacts has led to a global proliferation of this …

Globally, millions of zebrafish (Danio rerio) are used for scientific laboratory experiments for
which researchers have a duty of care, with legal obligations to consider their welfare …

Riverine fish are subjected to heterogeneous flow velocities and turbulence and may use
this to their advantage by selecting regions that balance energy expenditure for station …

Hydropower plants operation may change river flow, thereby degrading the stability of river
ecosystems. The primary purpose of this paper is to compute the comprehensive ecological …

River fragmentation due to artificial barriers directly impacts fish communities by limiting
migratory movements. This work aims to understand how small barriers affect the …

River basins are extremely complex hierarchical and directional systems that are affected by
a multitude of interacting stressors. This complexity hampers effective management and …

Flow regulation in gravel-bed rivers impacts the hydrology, sediments and morphology,
riparian vegetation, and vertical connectivity with the hyporheic zone. In this context …

Retrofitting, or the addition of features to existing fishways to make them more suitable for
upstream fish passage, is an issue of increasing interest in fishway science. Despite its …

Boulder placement is a common method to restore degraded instream habitats by
enhancing habitat complexity. This experimental study is the foremost attempt to …

Stream hydromorphology regulates in‐stream water flow and interstitial flow of water within
streambed sediments, the latter known as hyporheic exchange. Whereas hyporheic flow has …
