Linkages between flow regime, biota, and ecosystem processes: Implications for river restoration
BACKGROUND Early civilizations developed around seasonal river floodplains, and the
natural rhythm of rivers remains critical to humans today. We use streams and rivers to meet …

How important are terrestrial organic carbon inputs for secondary production in freshwater ecosystems?
Many freshwater systems receive substantial inputs of terrestrial organic matter. Terrestrially
derived dissolved organic carbon (t‐DOC) inputs can modify light availability, the spatial …

Resetting the river template: The potential for climate‐related extreme floods to transform river geomorphology and ecology
Climate change is expected to alter the occurrence of extreme climatic events, including
major floods. Future shifts in the frequency and intensity of extreme floods will vary by region …

Fish mediate high food web connectivity in the lower reaches of a tropical floodplain river
High levels of hydrological connectivity during seasonal flooding provide significant
opportunities for movements of fish between rivers and their floodplains, estuaries and the …

Does flood rhythm drive ecosystem responses in tropical riverscapes?
Biotic communities are shaped by adaptations from generations of exposure to selective
pressures by recurrent and often infrequent events. In large rivers, floods can act as …

Basal resources of river food webs largely affect the fatty acid composition of freshwater fish
Overfishing, altered flow regimes, loss of connectivity, pollution and other direct human
disturbances have had a significant impact on freshwater fish biodiversity. While direct …
