The 'wet–dry'in the wet–dry tropics drives river ecosystem structure and processes in northern Australia
Northern Australia is characterised by a tropical wet–dry climate that regulates the distinctive
character of river flow regimes across the region. There is marked hydrological seasonality …

A conceptual model of litter breakdown in low order streams
The detrital‐based food web of many streams and rivers plays a fundamental role in the
cycling and retention of carbon and nutrients. However, we still need to understand which …

Global distribution of a key trophic guild contrasts with common latitudinal diversity patterns
Most hypotheses explaining the general gradient of higher diversity toward the equator are
implicit or explicit about greater species packing in the tropics. However, global patterns of …

Effects of litter diversity on decomposition and biological colonization of submerged litter in temperate and tropical streams
Detrital food webs of woodland streams depend on terrestrial litter input and, thus, are
susceptible to changes in riparian cover. We assessed effects of litter species richness and …
