Abstract Changes in riparian vegetation directly affect the entry of allochthonous material
into aquatic systems, which is the main source of food and energy for different functional …

Agricultural land use is a primary driver of environmental impacts on streams. However, the
causal processes that shape these impacts operate through multiple pathways and at …

Context Land use change and forest degradation have myriad effects on tropical
ecosystems. Yet their consequences for low-order streams remain very poorly understood …

Abstract Trace elements (Ag, Al, As, Ba, Be, Cd, Co, Cr, Cs, Cu, Fe, Ga, Mn, Ni, Pb, Se, Sr, Ti,
U, V and Zn), glyphosate and fecal (FC) and total coliform (TC) bacteria in surface water …

The aim of this study was to verify whether taxonomic and functional composition of stream
fishes vary under three different preservation conditions of riparian zone: preserved (PRE) …

This study investigates whether (1) structural configuration (considering substrate
composition, wood debris, marginal and riparian vegetation) of streams suggests habitat …

In this study, we investigated how taxonomic and functional diversity of fish communities is
influenced by forest cover and mesohabitat types in Neotropical lowland streams. We …

This study was carried out to develop and apply a fish-based biotic integrity index to assess
lowland streams in a highly deforested region of the Upper Paraná River basin. Fifty-six first …

We compared the fish assemblage structure from streams with different intensities of
physical habitat degradation and chemical water pollution by domestic sewage in …

Multimetric indices (MMI) have been widely used to assess ecosystem conditions because
they are low-cost, employ a rapid field method, and can incorporate various biological …
