Spawning substrate quality is a major factor influencing the early ontogeny of European
nase (Chondrostoma nasus), a target species of conservation. Analogous to findings from …

European nase (Chondrostoma nasus) is a specialist riverine fish, characterised by a
complex life cycle making it vulnerable to habitat degradation. Recent findings indicate that …

Large‐scale river restoration programs have emerged recently as a tool for improving
spawning habitat for native salmonids in highly altered river ecosystems. Few studies have …

Abstract The Freshwater Pearl Mussel (Margaritifera margaritifera) is an endangered
organism across its entire range. It has a complex life cycle and stringent habitat …

Dams are essential for water resources management but impose notable effects on fluvial
sediment transport and downstream river morphology by reducing or altering the timing of …

Anthropogenic alterations such as the construction of dams and reservoirs led to a loss of
quantity, quality and connectivity of habitats for riverine fish species. The resulting decline of …
