Intermittent rivers and ephemeral streams (IRES) are common across Europe and dominate
some Mediterranean river networks. In all climate zones, IRES support high biodiversity and …

Intermittent rivers and ephemeral streams (IRES), which cease flow and/or dry at some point,
are the most abundant waterways on earth, and are found on every continent. They can …

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 …

Temporary rivers are increasingly common freshwater ecosystems, but there have been no
global syntheses of their community patterns. In this study, we examined the responses of …

Climate change is expected to intensify drought in many regions, but ecological impacts on
stream communities are poorly understood. Many arid‐land streams are characterised by …

Of all ecosystems, freshwaters support the most dynamic and highly concentrated
biodiversity on Earth. These attributes of freshwater biodiversity along with increasing …

Streams and adjacent terrestrial ecosystems are characterized by permeable boundaries
that are crossed by resource subsidies. Although the importance of these subsidies for …

Riparian areas are biologically rich ecosystems, but they are highly threatened across the
globe. Invertebrates represent a large proportion of the animal diversity within riparian …

Hydrology is a fundamental factor influencing ecosystem dynamics, life-history strategies,
and diversity patterns in running-water habitats. However, it remains unclear how hydrology …

Although more than half the world's river networks comprise channels that periodically
cease to flow and dry [intermittent rivers (IR s)], river ecology was largely developed from …
