Streams and rivers in mediterranean-climate regions (med-rivers in med-regions) are
ecologically unique, with flow regimes reflecting precipitation patterns. Although timing of …

Variability in flow as a result of seasonal precipitation patterns is a defining element of
streams and rivers in Mediterranean-climate regions of the world and strongly influences the …

Climate change is expected to alter the occurrence of extreme climatic events, including
major floods. Future shifts in the frequency and intensity of extreme floods will vary by region …

The Mediterranean climate is principally characterized by warm, dry summers and cool, wet
winters. However, there are large variations in precipitation dynamics in regions with this …

Climate change is expected to strongly affect freshwater fish communities. Combined with
other anthropogenic drivers, the impacts may alter species spatio‐temporal distributions and …

Ten anadromous lamprey species (Petromyzontiformes) are recognized around the world,
including four species in the Southern Hemisphere and six in the Northern Hemisphere …

Long-term observations on riverine benthic invertebrate communities enable assessments
of the potential impacts of global change on stream ecosystems. Besides increasing …

Running waters in Mediterranean regions are strongly regulated by dams, which produce
significant alterations to natural flow regimes. Climate change will reduce discharge and …

Within the context of climate adaptation, the concept of climate refugia has emerged as a
framework for addressing future threats to freshwater fish populations. We evaluated recent …

Streams and rivers in mediterranean-climate regions (med-rivers) are subjected to
sequential, yet contrasting hydrologic disturbances of drying and flooding. Although …
