Non-perennial river segments—those that recurrently cease to flow or frequently dry—occur
in all river networks and are globally more abundant than perennial (always flowing) …

Network ecology is an emerging field that allows researchers to conceptualize and analyse
ecological networks and their dynamics. Here, we focus on the dynamics of ecological …

The ever-increasing threats to riverine ecosystems call for novel approaches for highly
resolved biodiversity assessments across taxonomic groups and spatio-temporal scales …

China covers a vast territory harbouring a large number of aquatic plants. Although there are
many studies on the β-diversity of total, herbaceous or woody plants in China and …

Important clues about the ecological effects of climate change can arise from understanding
the influence of other Earth‐system processes on ecosystem dynamics but few studies span …

Despite its far-reaching implications for conservation and natural resource management,
little is known about the color of environmental noise, or the structure of temporal …

The loss of longitudinal connectivity affects river systems globally, being one of the leading
causes of the freshwater biodiversity crisis. Barriers alter the dispersal of aquatic organisms …

Ecological communities can remain stable in the face of disturbance if their constituent
species have different resistance and resilience strategies. In turn, local stability scales up …

River networks' universal fractal structure not only defines their hydrology and connectivity,
but has also profound biological consequences, especially regarding stability and …

Human-driven environmental stressors are increasingly threatening species survival and
diversity of river systems worldwide. However, it remains unclear how the stressors affect the …
