Despite a general recognition that benthic macroinvertebrates respond to changes in
hydrological connectivity within floodplain ecosystems, no consensus about patterns in …

We investigated the spatial and temporal changes of benthic macroinvertebrate
communities in response to floods and droughts in three different stream types: perennial …

Metacommunity ecology emphasizes that community structure and diversity are not only
determined by local environmental conditions through environmental filtering, but also by …

An important goal in ecology is to understand controls on community structure in spatially
and temporally heterogeneous landscapes, a challenge for which riverine floodplains …

We studied benthic macroinvertebrate communities upstream and downstream of five small
reservoirs (surface release in autumn–winters)(north Spain) to assess the effect of flow …

This study investigated the relation of benthic macroinvertebrates to environmental gradients
in Central European lowland rivers. Taxonomic structure (taxa) and functional composition …

It is typically at the species level where the responses of organisms to natural environmental
gradients are the most clearly visible. However, due to the fact that many organismal groups …

The environmental factors that determine species richness and community structure in
running waters have long been studied, but how these factors hierarchically and/or …

We examined the community‐environment relationships of lotic macroinvertebrates in near‐
pristine headwater streams, and the correlation between patterns in taxonomic and …

Previously tested in temperate ecoregions, the River Habitat Templet concept provides a
framework for relating the characteristics of species (ie traits indicating species ecological …
