Rivers in mediterranean regions are subject to hydrological extremes. They range from
highly stable, perennial ground-or snow-fed systems to highly ephemeral, unpredictable …

Climate change is expected to have strong effects on mediterranean-climate regions
worldwide. In some areas, these effects will include increases in temperature and decreases …

The appeal of trait‐based approaches for assessing environmental vulnerabilities arises
from the potential insight they provide into the mechanisms underlying the changes in …

Global change has the potential to affect river flow conditions which are fundamental
determinants of physical habitats. Predictions of the effects of flow alterations on aquatic …

Urban streams display many similar symptoms around the world, but awareness is growing
that the mechanisms and severity of the symptoms differ among regions. Climate is a key …

Freshwater biodiversity loss is a major concern, and global warming is already playing a
significant role in species extinctions. Our main goal was to predict climate change impacts …

Climate change can affect biological assemblages by shifting their species' geographic
range and changing species richness. Aquatic insects represent more than half of the …

Peninsular environments are ecosystems that are one of the most vulnerable to global
warming. Despite the importance of conserving regional biodiversity, peninsular …

Suspended particulate organic matter (POM) in headwater streams is an important source of
food and energy to stream food webs. In order to determine the effects of watershed land …

Abstract Changes in the timing, magnitude, frequency, and duration of extreme hydrologic
events are becoming apparent and could disrupt species assemblages and stream …
