Acta Carsologica, 2007 The copepod crustacean fauna collected from subterranean habitats, including caves, wells, and the hyporheos of streams in and near the Interior Low Plateaus of the United States is dominated by Cyclopoida, with 39 species, followed by Harpacticoida with

Low flow controls on benthic and hyporheic macroinvertebrate assemblages during supra-seasonal drought [PDF]
, 2009 Despite the widely accepted importance of the hyporheic zone as a habitat for stream macroinvertebrates during floods, few data exist regarding community composition and distribution during periods of low flow or drought in perennial streamsi ...

Nutrient uptake in a stream affected by hydropower plants: comparison between stream channels and diversion canals [PDF]
, 2012 12 páginas, 3 figuras, 4 tablas.Small hydropower plants divert part of the water from wide and physically complex stream channels with active hyporheic areas to narrow and hydraulically simple concrete canals, and thus, might affect nutrient dynamics.

Role of the hyporheic zone in increasing the resilience of mountain streams facing intermittency [PDF]
, 2020 5openInternationalItalian coauthor/editorWe investigated the impact of intermittence in previously-perennial Alpine stream reaches, targeting the role of the hyporheic zone in increasing the resilience of these aquatic systems.

Influence of nontrophic interactions between benthic invertebrates on river sediment processes: a microcosm study [PDF]
, 2004 The main objective of this study was to measure the impact of benthic invertebrate diversity on river sediment processes. We quantified the effects of interactions between three taxa (asellids, chironomid larvae, and tubificid worms).

Faunal response to benthic and hyporheic sedimentation varies with direction of vertical hydrological exchange [PDF]
, 2014 1. Sedimentation and clogging of benthic and hyporheic zone substrates is increasingly being recognised as one of the greatest threats to the ecological integrity of riverine ecosystems globally. This ex-situ study examined the influence of sedimentation

Spatial variability in the hyporheic zone refugium of temporary streams [PDF]
, 2011 A key ecological role hypothesized for the hyporheic zone is as a refugium that promotes survival of benthic invertebrates during adverse conditions in the surface stream.

Characterization of the density and body size of a Gammarus pulex (Crustacea: Amphipoda) population in subsurface sediments reflects the sampling technique used [PDF]
, 2016 The hyporheic zone and its invertebrate fauna play vital roles in the functioning of lotic ecosystems. However, although sampling invertebrates from subsurface sediments is recognized as challenging, few studies have quantified the effectiveness of ...

Stream ecosystem responses to an extreme rainfall event across multiple catchments in southeast Alaska [PDF]
, 2015 Floods are a key component of the flow regime of many rivers and a major structuring force of stream communities. Climate change is predicted to increase the frequency of extreme rainfall (i.e. return intervals > 100 years) leading to extensive flooding,
