Current rates of climate change are unprecedented, and biological responses to these
changes have also been rapid at the levels of ecosystems, communities, and species. Most …

We summarized landscape approaches used in the study of freshwater ecosystems,
updated recent literature reviews on interactions between terrestrial and lotic ecosystems …

Aim We examined the relative contributions of spatial gradients and local environmental
conditions to macroinvertebrate assemblages of boreal headwater streams at three …

This study investigated the relation of benthic macroinvertebrates to environmental gradients
in Central European lowland rivers. Taxonomic structure (taxa) and functional composition …

Macroinvertebrate communities from the lower Nysa Kłodzka River catchment, southern
Poland, were analyzed seasonally, in order to assess changes in their composition and …

Spatial autocorrelation is an intrinsic characteristic in freshwater stream environments where
nested watersheds and flow connectivity may produce patterns that are not captured by …

Biodiversity embraces multiple facets of the variability of nature, although most research has
dealt separately with population-, species-and assemblage-level measures. This review …

Stream communities are structured by factors acting over multiple spatial and temporal
scales. Identifying what factors are driving spatial patterns in stream communities is a central …

We examined the community‐environment relationships of lotic macroinvertebrates in near‐
pristine headwater streams, and the correlation between patterns in taxonomic and …

City ponds have the potential to harbour a rich biodiversity of aquatic insects despite being
located in an urban landscape. However, our current knowledge on the correlates of pond …
