Aim Many conservation efforts now focus on mitigating biodiversity loss due to climate
change. While a focus on impacts from mean, long‐term changes in climate is warranted …

Ecological restoration is widely practiced as a means of rehabilitating ecosystems and
habitats that have been degraded or impaired through human use or other causes …

Extreme weather events (EWEs; for example, heatwaves, cold spells, storms, floods and
droughts) and non-native species invasions are two major threats to global biodiversity and …

Alterations to the natural flow regime affect the structure and function of rivers and wetlands
and contribute to loss of biodiversity worldwide. Although the effects of flow regulation have …

Streams and rivers in mediterranean-climate regions (med-rivers in med-regions) are
ecologically unique, with flow regimes reflecting precipitation patterns. Although timing of …

ABSTRACT For decades, Channel Evolution Models have provided useful templates for
understanding morphological responses to disturbance associated with lowering base level …

Temporary rivers are increasingly common freshwater ecosystems, but there have been no
global syntheses of their community patterns. In this study, we examined the responses of …

Drought is a constant and important consequence of natural climatic processes and most
freshwater fishes have adaptations to counter its effects. However, a changing global climate …

Climate change is expected to intensify drought in many regions, but ecological impacts on
stream communities are poorly understood. Many arid‐land streams are characterised by …

We reviewed the literature on the effects of land use changes on mediterranean river
ecosystems (med-rivers) to provide a foundation and directions for future research on …
