Of all ecosystems, freshwaters support the most dynamic and highly concentrated
biodiversity on Earth. These attributes of freshwater biodiversity along with increasing …

Temporary streams are defined by periodic flow cessation, and may experience partial or
complete loss of surface water. The ecology and hydrology of these transitional aquatic …

Temporary streams are those water courses that undergo the recurrent cessation of flow or
the complete drying of their channel. The structure and composition of biological …

In some arid, semi-arid or Mediterranean climate regions, increased water extraction
combined with climate change will prolong periods of drought in non-perennial streams, but …

Abstract Changes in community structure and life-history traits of benthic invertebrates were
examined along a longitudinal intermittence gradient in an alluvial river. The gradient was …

We analysed taxa lists from 447 individual wetlands from several ecoregions across the
world using nestedness and similarity‐based multivariate analyses. We examined how …

Estimating organisms' responses to environmental variables and taxon associations across
broad spatial scales is vital for predicting their responses to climate change …

Alpine ponds are small standing water bodies situated in mountainous regions at or above
tree line. Hydrology is driven by snow and ice with harsh conditions comparable to that in …

River ecosystems world‐wide are affected by altered flow regimes, and advanced science
and practice of environmental flows have been developed to understand and reduce these …

Ecologists have been interested in understanding communities through the lens of
specialists and generalists to predict species diversity and distribution patterns and to …
