Abstract Climate‐induced flow alteration is decreasing snowpack and advancing snowmelt, subjecting mountain streams to longer low‐flow periods. Yet, anticipating how stream ecosystems respond to prolonged low flows remains challenging because distinct trophic levels can respond differently, and non‐native predators can dampen or amplify responses. Here,

ABSTRACT Understanding patterns of biodiversity distribution is fundamental for ecology, biogeography, and conservation. However, persistent challenges arise from the inaccessibility of many regions and habitats. Subterranean environments, in particular, host highly distinctive and specialised faunal assemblages, yet their investigation is hindered by ...

Biodiversity of macrozoobenthos in a large river, the Austrian Danube, including quantitative studies in a free-flowing stretch below Vienna: a short review [PDF]
The Danube is ca. 2850 km in length and is the second largest river in Europe. The Austrian part of the Danube falls 156 metres in altitude over its 351 km length and, since the early 1950s, the river has been developed into a power-generating waterway ...

First records of Cotylea (Polycladida, Platyhelminthes) for the Atlantic coast of the Iberian Peninsula [PDF]
A study of polyclad fauna of the Atlantic coast of the Iberian Peninsula was carried out from 2010 to 2013. The paper reports nine new records belonging to three Cotylean families: the family Euryleptidae Lang, 1884, Pseudocerotidae Lang, 1884 and the ...

Ecological pathways connecting riverine drought to community change across space and time
Abstract Climate change is intensifying droughts via reduced snowpack and accelerated snowmelt in high mountains globally, altering community structure in snow‐dependent rivers. To predict impending ecological change in rivers, we must understand the importance of the abiotic and biotic mechanisms connecting hydrologic change to biodiversity change and

Abstract Niche processes mainly dictate the successful establishment and coexistence of species along gradients of community drivers such as energy availability and environmental stress. Deep‐sea chemosynthetic habitats such as hydrothermal vents and wood falls show concomitant gradients of energy availability and stress because productivity is fueled ...
