Linkages between flow regime, biota, and ecosystem processes: Implications for river restoration
BACKGROUND Early civilizations developed around seasonal river floodplains, and the
natural rhythm of rivers remains critical to humans today. We use streams and rivers to meet …

Environmental predictability as a cause and consequence of animal movement
The impacts of environmental predictability on the ecology and evolution of animal
movement have been the subject of vigorous speculation for several decades. Recently, the …

The role of dispersal in river network metacommunities: Patterns, processes, and pathways
River networks are hierarchical dendritic habitats embedded within the terrestrial landscape,
with varying connectivity between sites depending on their positions along the network. This …

Characteristics, main impacts, and stewardship of natural and artificial freshwater environments: consequences for biodiversity conservation
In this overview (introductory article to a special issue including 14 papers), we consider all
main types of natural and artificial inland freshwater habitas (fwh). For each type, we identify …

Flow regime alteration degrades ecological networks in riparian ecosystems
Riverine ecosystems are governed by patterns of temporal variation in river flows. This
dynamism will change due to climate change and the near-ubiquitous human control of river …

What we talk about when we talk about seasonality–A transdisciplinary review
The role of seasonality is indisputable in climate and ecosystem dynamics. Seasonal
temperature and precipitation variability are of vital importance for the availability of food …

Effects of human-driven water stress on river ecosystems: a meta-analysis
Human appropriation of water resources may induce water stress in freshwater ecosystems
when ecosystem needs are not met. Intensive abstraction and regulation cause river …

Climate and seasonality drive the richness and composition of tropical fungal endophytes at a landscape scale
Understanding how species-rich communities persist is a foundational question in ecology.
In tropical forests, tree diversity is structured by edaphic factors, climate, and biotic …

Shifting seasonal patterns of water availability: ecosystem responses to an unappreciated dimension of climate change
Seasonal patterns of water availability can differ dramatically among ecosystems, with well‐
known consequences for ecosystem structure and functioning. Less appreciated is that …

The three Rs of river ecosystem resilience: Resources, recruitment, and refugia
Resilience in river ecosystems requires that organisms must persist in the face of highly
dynamic hydrological and geomorphological variations. Disturbance events such as floods …
