BACKGROUND Early civilizations developed around seasonal river floodplains, and the
natural rhythm of rivers remains critical to humans today. We use streams and rivers to meet …

Hydropower is a rapidly developing and globally important source of renewable electricity.
Globally, over 60% of rivers longer than 500 km are already fragmented and thousands of …

Extreme weather events (EWEs; for example, heatwaves, cold spells, storms, floods and
droughts) and non-native species invasions are two major threats to global biodiversity and …

The implementation of environmental flow regimes offers a promising means to protect and
restore riverine, wetland and estuarine ecosystems, their critical environmental services and …

Navigating trade-offs between meeting societal water needs and supporting functioning
ecosystems is integral to river management policy. Emerging frameworks provide the …

The long‐term impact of river regulation on fish functional diversity by a dam immediately
upstream from the upper Paraná River floodplain, Brazil, was evaluated. It was expected that …

Wild zebrafish exhibit a wide range of behavior. We found abundant wild zebrafish in flowing
rivers and still water, in large, tightly-knit groups of hundreds of individuals, as well as in …

Phenology changes are increasingly recognized as a common response of species to
ongoing global change. Phenology can be influenced by environmental cues that impact the …

Abstraction, diversion, and storage of flow alter rivers worldwide. In this context, minimum
flow regulations are applied to mitigate adverse impacts and to protect affected river reaches …

Dams are recognised to impact aquatic biodiversity, but the effects and conclusions diverge
across studies and locations. By using a meta‐analytical approach, we quantified the effects …
