Effects of Engineered Dam Releases on Benthic Assemblages During Drought and Comparison With Unregulated Reaches

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, Volume 42, Issue 7, Page 1442-1458, September 2026.
ABSTRACT River regulation following damming is often associated with deleterious downstream effects, in large part due to reduced total discharge and disruption of seasonal flooding. These effects would be expected to be exacerbated by drought, particularly extended drought.

Tell me where you flow and I will tell you who you are: basin context shapes the insect fauna of small tributaries

open access: yesOikos, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.
The traditional view of river basins as linear corridors has led to numerous studies examining the effects of stream size on aquatic communities. However, similar‐sized streams may harbor distinct faunal assemblages depending on their spatial context within the basin. Headwater tributaries (HTs) that flow into small streams, in the periphery of basins,

Individual and combined effects of shading and habitat complexity on benthic macroinvertebrate communities in a mesocosm stream experiment (São Paulo, Brazil)

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 5, July 2026.
Abstract Introduction Agricultural activities are a major driver of biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation in subtropical streams, often altering macroinvertebrate community structure and associated ecosystem functions. Although restoration strategies increasingly target these impacts, the relative importance of riparian shading and in‐stream ...
