Surface-groundwater interactions in intermittent rivers and ephemeral streams (IRES),
waterways which do not flow year-round, are spatially and temporally dynamic because of …

Trait‐based approaches have received increasing interest among freshwater scientists
given their capacity to predict community structure and biodiversity effects on ecosystem …

A significant fraction of Earth's ecosystems undergoes periodic wet‐dry alternating
transitional states. These globally distributed water‐driven transitional ecosystems, such as …

Fungi are among the most abundant and diverse organisms on Earth and play pivotal roles
in global carbon processing, nutrient cycling and food webs. Despite their abundant and …

Global climate changes have increased the duration and frequency of river flow interruption,
affecting the physical and community structure of benthic biofilms. However, the dynamic …

Investigating the influence of biodiversity on ecosystem functioning over environmental
gradients is needed to anticipate ecosystem responses to global change. However, our …

Aquatic fungi are highly diverse organisms that play a critical role in global biogeochemical
cycles. Yet it remains unclear which assembly processes determine their co-occurrence and …

Water availability is a fundamental driver of biogeochemical processing in highly dynamic
ecosystems such as intermittent rivers and ephemeral streams (IRES), which are recognized …

The frequency of flow intermittency and drying events in Alpine rivers is expected to increase
due to climate change. These events can have significant consequences for stream …

Bacterial communities in river sediments are shaped by a trade-off between dispersal from
upstream or nearby land and selection by the local environmental conditions. In temporary …
