Climate warming is considered to be among the most serious of anthropogenic stresses to
the environment, because it not only has direct effects on biodiversity, but it also exacerbates …

The spread of non-native species is one of the most harmful and least reversible
disturbances in ecosystems. Species have to overcome several filters to become a pest …

Stream Ecology: Structure and Function of Running Waters is designed to serve as a
textbook for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, and as a reference source for …

How thermal tolerance estimated in the laboratory can be extrapolated to natural settings
remains a contentious subject. Here, we argue that the general premise that a single …

1. The structure of lotic macroinvertebrate communities may be strongly influenced by land‐
use practices within catchments. However, the relative magnitude of influence on the …

Droughts are a major hazard to both natural and human-dominated environments and
those, especially of long duration and high intensity, can be highly damaging and leave long …

Global climate change is likely to modify the ecological consequences of currently acting
stressors, but potentially important interactions between climate warming and land‐use …

Water quality, habitat, and biota were compared during spring amongst c. 100 m reaches on
11 streams draining pasture, native (podocarp‐broadleaf) forest, and exotic pine forest …

In woodland streams, the decomposition of allochthonous organic matter constitutes a
fundamental ecosystem process, where aquatic hyphomycetes play a pivotal role. It is …

Changes to land use affect streams through nutrient enrichment, increased inputs of
sediment and, where riparian vegetation has been removed, raised water temperature. We …
