Linking hydromorphological diversity to biodiversity and functioning in running waters
Abstract Environmental heterogeneity is a key driver of biodiversity and ecosystem functioning, yet linking physical habitat variability to ecological attributes remains challenging in aquatic ecosystems. Here, we present a unified framework that applies variance partitioning to hydromorphological characteristics—specifically flow velocity and depth—to

A review of the processes and effects of droughts and summer floods in rivers and threats due to climate change on current adaptive strategies [PDF]
Europe is expected to experience a greater frequency of floods and droughts as precipitation and evapotranspiration patterns are modified by climate change in future.

ABSTRACT During the past decade, major upgrades have been made to the Kitchener and Waterloo wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) in the Grand River watershed in Ontario, Canada. As part of efforts to evaluate the effectiveness of these investments (>$450 M CDN), a benthic macroinvertebrate (BMI) monitoring program was initiated by sampling upstream and

Entrainment of Muddy Sediment From Immobile Gravel River Beds
Abstract This study examines the transport of fine muddy sediment through a gravel‐bed reach. In such cases, mud is often conceptualized as a size fraction that interacts little with the bed (i.e., as washload). However, previous studies have shown that mud can deposit within gravel beds.

ABSTRACT The introduction of exotic species is one of the main drivers of biodiversity loss in aquatic ecosystems. The Harris mud crab Rhithropanopeus harrisii, native to the Atlantic coast of North America, was recorded in the Patos Lagoon estuary (southern Brazil) in the 1980s, likely introduced via ballast water. However, the effects of this invader

Ecological values of Hamilton urban streams (North Island, New Zealand): constraints and opportunities for restoration [PDF]
Urban streams globally are characterised by degraded habitat conditions and low aquatic biodiversity, but are increasingly becoming the focus of restoration activities.
