The term “urban stream syndrome” describes the consistently observed ecological
degradation of streams draining urban land. This paper reviews recent literature to describe …

The degradation of inland aquatic habitats caused by decades of human activities has led to
worldwide efforts to rehabilitate freshwater habitats for fisheries and aquatic resources. We …

Stream ecosystems are increasingly impacted by multiple stressors that lead to a loss of
sensitive species and an overall reduction in diversity. A dominant paradigm in ecological …

River hydromorphology has long been subjected to huge anthropogenic pressures with
severe negative impacts on related ecosystems' functioning and water quality. Therefore …

Streams, as low‐lying points in the landscape, are strongly influenced by the stormwaters,
pollutants, and warming that characterize catchment urbanization. River restoration projects …

Extensive degradation of ecosystems, combined with the increasing demands placed on the
goods and services they provide, is a major driver of biodiversity loss on a global scale. In …

The assumption that restoring physical habitat heterogeneity will increase biodiversity
underlies many river restoration projects, despite few tests of the hypothesis. With over 6,000 …

Restoration schemes often rely on the assumption that enhancing habitat complexity
through addition of in‐stream structures such as boulders and woody debris leads to …

The focus of this review is to discuss the current uses and developments of
macroinvertebrate and fish indicators in riverine ecosystems. Macroinvertebrates and fish …

This review addresses the intersection of water quality policy and benthic
macroinvertebrates. Specifically, we examine the role that stream macroinvertebrates have …
