Interest in connectivity has increased in the aquatic sciences, partly because of its relevance
to the Clean Water Act. This paper has two objectives:(1) provide a framework to understand …

The flood pulse is the main driving force influencing river floodplain ecosystems. The
dominant role of the flood pulse on the success of non-native species (NNSs) is what …

Lateral connectivity between rivers and terrestrial landscapes is critical for both river and
landscape health. Due to widespread anthropogenic degradation of riverscapes, river …

Large river–floodplain systems are characterised by seasonal flow variability. High flows
lead to hydrological connection between the main channel and inundated off‐channel lakes …

In river-floodplain ecosystems, overbank flows interact with floodplain geomorphology to
generate a network of transient inter-waterbody connections. Heterogeneity in the …

Because dams block migratory routes of potamodromous fish to their spawning areas, and
energy generation changes natural flow seasonality, it is necessary to identify spawning …

Ponds can provide important refuges for aquatic biota on developed floodplains and are
increasingly being constructed in an effort to enhance native biodiversity and ecosystem …

This case study synthesizes strategies that electric power utilities can implement to reduce
surface water risks to infrastructure, operations, and regulatory compliance as climate …

Abstract New Zealand's Waikato River has had a short but intense history of development,
primarily through land‐use change and flow regulation in the upper river, and in the lower …

The effects of human-induced stressors on riverine fish assemblages are still poorly
understood, especially in species-poor assemblages such as those of temperate South …
