Ecological responses to altered flow regimes: a literature review to inform the science and management of environmental flowsSummary 1. In an effort to develop quantitative relationships between various kinds of flow alteration and ecological responses, we reviewed 165 papers published over the last four decades, with a focus on more recent papers. Our aim was to determine if general relationships could be drawn from disparate case studies in the literature that might inform environmental... ... hiện toàn bộ

How much water does a river need?1. This paper introduces a new approach for setting streamflow‐based river ecosystem management targets and this method is called the ‘Range of Variability Approach’ (RVA). The proposed approach derives from aquatic ecology theory concerning the critical role of hydrological variability, and associated characteristics of timing, frequency, duration, and rates of change, in sustaining aquat... ... hiện toàn bộ

The ecological limits of hydrologic alteration (ELOHA): a new framework for developing regional environmental flow standardsSummary 1. The flow regime is a primary determinant of the structure and function of aquatic and riparian ecosystems for streams and rivers. Hydrologic alteration has impaired riverine ecosystems on a global scale, and the pace and intensity of human development greatly exceeds the ability of scientists to assess the effects on a river‐by‐river basis. Current scient... ... hiện toàn bộ

The thermal regime of rivers: a reviewSummary 1. The thermal regime of rivers plays an important role in the overall health of aquatic ecosystems, including water quality issues and the distribution of aquatic species within the river environment. Consequently, for conducting environmental impact assessments as well as for effective fisheries management, it is important to understand the thermal behavio... ... hiện toàn bộ

Lake responses to reduced nutrient loading – an analysis of contemporary long‐term data from 35 case studiesSummary 1. This synthesis examines 35 long‐term (5–35 years, mean: 16 years) lake re‐oligotrophication studies. It covers lakes ranging from shallow (mean depth <5 m and/or polymictic) to deep (mean depth up to 177 m), oligotrophic to hypertrophic (summer mean total phosphorus concentration from 7.5 to 3500 μ g L−1 b... ... hiện toàn bộ

Tangled webs: reciprocal flows of invertebrate prey link streams and riparian zonesSummary 1. Streams and their adjacent riparian zones are closely linked by reciprocal flows of invertebrate prey. We review characteristics of these prey subsidies and their strong direct and indirect effects on consumers and recipient food webs. 2. Fluxes of terrestrial invertebrates to streams can provide up to half the annual energy budget for dri... ... hiện toàn bộ

Incorporating thermal regimes into environmental flows assessments: modifying dam operations to restore freshwater ecosystem integritySummary 1. Despite escalating conflict over fresh water, recent years have witnessed a growing realisation that human society must modify its behaviour to ensure long‐term ecological vitality of riverine ecosystems. In response, ecologists have been increasingly asked to guide instream flow management by providing ‘environmental flow’ prescriptions for sustaining th... ... hiện toàn bộ

A fuzzy coding approach for the analysis of long‐term ecological dataSUMMARY
We present an unconventional procedure (fuzzy coding) to structure biological and environmental information, which uses positive scores to describe the affinity of a species for different modalities (i.e. categories) of a given variable. Fuzzy coding is essential for the synthesis of long‐term e... ... hiện toàn bộ

Metacommunity organisation, spatial extent and dispersal in aquatic systems: patterns, processes and prospectsSummary
Metacommunity ecology addresses the situation where sets of local communities are connected by the dispersal of a number of potentially interacting species. Aquatic systems (e.g. lentic versus lotic versus marine) differ from each other in connectivity and environmental heterogeneity, suggesting that metacommunity organi... ... hiện toàn bộ

The functional role of burrowing bivalves in freshwater ecosystems1. Freshwater systems are losing biodiversity at a rapid rate, yet we know little about the functional role of most of this biodiversity. The ecosystem roles of freshwater burrowing bivalves have been particularly understudied. Here we summarize what is known about the functional role of burrowing bivalves in the orders Unionoida and Veneroida in lakes and streams globally. ... hiện toàn bộ
