Changing the taxonomic scale of a biotic-assemblage dataset influences our ability to detect
ecological patterns. In bioassessments, a test-site's biological community is compared …

Although microplastics are a recognised pollutant in marine environments, less attention has
been directed towards freshwater ecosystems despite their greater proximity to possible …

Other than some classical ideas, large‐scale approaches to understand variation in
organismal traits (or the trait composition of an ecological community) across stream …

Climate change effects on some ecosystems are still poorly known, particularly where they
interact with other climatic phenomena or stressors. We used data spanning 25 years (1981 …

Important clues about the ecological effects of climate change can arise from understanding
the influence of other Earth‐system processes on ecosystem dynamics but few studies span …

Current approaches to ecological assessment are limited by the traditional morpho-
taxonomic methods presently employed and the inability to meet increasing demands for …

Anthropogenic activities can increase fine sediment supply to streams over multiple spatial
and temporal extents. Identifying the processes responsible, and the scale at which any …

We reviewed follow‐up studies from Finnish and Swedish streams that have been restored
after timber floating to assess the abiotic and biotic responses to restoration. More …

Studies on biodiversity and ecosystem function require considering metrics for accurately
describing the functional diversity of communities. The number of taxa (richness) is …

Studies assessing human impacts on freshwater ecosystems are typically based on a single
taxonomic group, often macroinvertebrates or fish. Unfortunately, the degree to which such …
