Insects around the world are rapidly declining. Concerns over what this loss means for food
security and ecological communities have compelled a growing number of researchers to …

Invertebrate drift, the downstream transport of aquatic invertebrates, is a fundamental
ecological process in streams with important management implications for drift-feeding …

Conservation efforts for Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.) increasingly prioritize
maintenance of cool water temperatures that protect all freshwater life stages. However …

Functional diversity is regarded as a key concept in understanding the link between
ecosystem function and biodiversity, and is therefore widely investigated in relation to …

The influence of stream channel structure on the production of prey for drift-feeding fish is
not well understood. We quantified drift production, the entry rate per streambed area, and …

Pulsed flow disturbances strongly influence invertebrate drift in lotic ecosystems. However,
drift‐flow relationships are often context dependent and non‐intuitive, suggesting that local …

Water abstraction modifies the environmental conditions of stream ecosystems, which can
affect invertebrate assemblages by altering drift. We examined this issue with a before–after …

Despite long-standing interest, the mechanisms driving aquatic macroinvertebrate drift in
tropical streams remain poorly understood. Therefore, the objective of this study was to …

In mountain streams, light is a key factor for primary production and primary producer
nutrient stoichiometry, or the relative composition of carbon (C) compared to phosphorous …

Climate change is likely to increase the metabolisms of ectothermic animals living below
their thermal optimum. While ectothermic top predators may compensate by increasing …
