Predicting the ecological causes and consequences of global climate change requires a
variety of approaches, including the use of experiments, models, and surveys. Among …

Empirical relationships between stream flow and ecological responses (flow–ecology
relationships) are essential for establishing environmental flows and evaluating tradeoffs …

Alterations to the natural flow regime affect the structure and function of rivers and wetlands
and contribute to loss of biodiversity worldwide. Although the effects of flow regulation have …

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

Seasonal droughts are predictable components of arid‐land stream hydrology, and many
arid‐land aquatic taxa have adapted to their extreme environment. However, climate change …

Experimental data from intergenerational field manipulations of entire food webs are scarce,
yet such approaches are essential for gauging impacts of environmental change in natural …

Glacier retreat is a worldwide phenomenon with important consequences for the
hydrological cycle and downstream ecosystem structure and functioning. To determine the …

Poland has a considerable, but largely unused, hydropower potential. This state of affairs is
mainly due to the environmental, social, economic and institutional barriers. Moreover, the …

Abstract Equatorial rivers of East Africa exhibit unusually complex seasonal and inter-annual
flow regimes, and aquatic and adjacent terrestrial organisms have adapted to cope with this …

Studies on aquatic insects have found divergent results when assessing the effects of the
environment and spatial structure on the community. The inappropriate choice of taxonomic …
