Streams and rivers in mediterranean-climate regions (med-rivers in med-regions) are
ecologically unique, with flow regimes reflecting precipitation patterns. Although timing of …

Freshwater species worldwide are experiencing dramatic declines partly attributable to
ongoing climate change. It is expected that the future effects of climate change could be …

Variability in flow as a result of seasonal precipitation patterns is a defining element of
streams and rivers in Mediterranean-climate regions of the world and strongly influences the …

The Mediterranean climate is principally characterized by warm, dry summers and cool, wet
winters. However, there are large variations in precipitation dynamics in regions with this …

Aim To analyse temporal metacommunity dynamics in river networks in relation to
hydrological conditions and dispersal. Location Fifteen river reaches from the Llobregat …

Abstract The record-breaking 2014–2016 California drought, emblematic of the more
frequent and extreme climatic events projected under climate change, highlighted the …

We studied benthic macroinvertebrate communities in 12 mid‐elevation mountain streams in
the Sierra Nevada, California. Data were collected at nine times (seven springs and two …

Dispersal, defined as the movement of individuals among local communities in a landscape,
is a central regional determinant of metacommunity dynamics in ecosystems. Whereas both …

Drought significantly impacts freshwater ecosystems, disrupting all biological levels. In
particular, freshwater macroinvertebrates undergo significant changes in taxonomic and …

Despite covering only 0.82% of the ocean's surface, the Mediterranean Sea supports up to
18% of all known marine species, with 21% being listed as vulnerable and 11% as …
