Increases in river fragmentation globally threaten freshwater biodiversity. Rivers are
fragmented by many agents, both natural and anthropogenic. We review the distribution and …

Landscape perspectives in riverine ecology have been undertaken increasingly in the last
30 years, leading aquatic ecologists to develop a diverse set of approaches for …

A common goal of biological adaptation planning is to identify and prioritize locations that
remain suitably cool during the summer. This implicitly devalues areas that are ephemerally …

The global number of dam constructions has increased dramatically over the past six
decades and is forecast to continue to rise, particularly in less industrialized regions …

Interest in connectivity has increased in the aquatic sciences, partly because of its relevance
to the Clean Water Act. This paper has two objectives:(1) provide a framework to understand …

Biotic homogenisation is defined as decreasing dissimilarity among ecological assemblages
sampled within a given spatial area over time. Biotic differentiation, in turn, is defined as …

Aquatic invasive species (AIS) are one of the principal threats to freshwater biodiversity.
Exclusion barriers are increasingly being used as a management strategy to control the …

Disruption of movement patterns due to alterations in habitat connectivity is a pervasive
effect of humans on animal populations. In many terrestrial and aquatic systems, there is …

Fragmentation is one of the major threats to riverine ecosystems and this is most explicitly
expressed by the decline in numbers of migratory fish species. Yet each species has …

Understanding the drivers and implications of anthropogenic disturbance of ecological
connectivity is a key concern for the conservation of biodiversity and ecosystem processes …
