Hydropower is commonly considered a renewable energy source. Nevertheless, this does
not imply an absence of impacts on the riverine ecosystem, the extent of which is expected …

We critically analyzed a set of ecological models that are used to assess the impact of
hydropower dams on water quality and habitat suitability for biological communities. After a …

While poorly dispersing taxa such as amphibians may have limited scope to track recent and
rapid climate change by means of large range shifts, they may follow their climate envelope …

Treated wastewater, also known as effluent, is discharged into streambeds where it can
augment or create aquatic habitat in arid regions. However, discharge fluctuations can result …

Many riverine organisms are well adapted to seasonally dynamic environments, but extreme
changes in flow and thermal regimes can threaten sustainability of their populations in …

The extent and timing of many river ecosystem functions is controlled by the interplay of
streamflow dynamics with the river corridor shape and structure. However, most river …

Many frameworks have been used to identify environmental flows for sustaining river
ecosystems or specific taxa in the face of widespread flow alteration. However, these …

Management of regulated rivers for yellow-legged frogs (Rana boylii) and salmonids
exemplifies potential conflicts among species adapted to different parts of the natural flow …

Instream flow modeling is one tool historically used by resource managers to assess habitat
suitability for aquatic species, including fish and benthic macroinvertebrates. Until recently …

In an effort to restore predictable ecologically relevant spring snowmelt recession flow
patterns in rivers regulated by dams, this study defined a methodology by which spring flow …
