▪ Abstract Streams in mediterranean-climate regions (areas surrounding the Mediterranean
Sea, parts of western North America, parts of west and south Australia, southwestern South …

Cladophora glomerata (L.) Kütz. is, potentially, the most widely distributed macroalga
throughout the world's freshwater ecosystems. C. glomerata has been described throughout …

The ecological resilience of coral reefs depends critically on the capacity of coral
populations to re-establish in habitats dominated by macroalgae. Coral reefs globally are …

In this paper we suggest a conceptual model for the evaluation of periphyton communities in
unshaded temperate streams based on the primary habitat variables of flood disturbance …

Obtaining a better knowledge of how flow variability affects lotic biota is of considerable
importance to stream and river management. We contend that processes at different …

Biofilms are an ensemble of autotrophs and heterotrophs, which are highly efficient in
removing inorganic and organic compounds, as well as other chemicals, from river water …

Periphyton and macrophytes alter water velocity in streams, influencing movement of solutes
and providing microhabitat for other organisms. How assemblages with different growth form …

The green algal genus Cladophora forms conspicuous nearshore populations in marine and
freshwaters worldwide, commonly dominating peri‐phyton communities. As the result of …

Aim Epiphytes are a conspicuous feature of numerous forests, yet they are poorly
understood compared with terrestrial plants. Theoretical frameworks have helped bridge this …

• Premise of the study: The filamentous chlorophyte Cladophora produces abundant
nearshore populations in marine and freshwaters worldwide, often dominating periphyton …
