Dams and other anthropogenic barriers have caused global ecological and hydrological
upheaval in the blink of the geological eye. In the present article, we synthesize 307 studies …

Large rivers and their estuaries are structurally complex and comprise a diversity of habitats
supporting a rich biodiversity. As a result, identifying and monitoring fish communities using …

Central European riverine networks are subject to widely varying local anthropogenic
