Europe's ageing wastewater system often combines domestic sewage with surface runoff
and industrial wastewaters. To reduce the associated risk of overloading wastewater …

This work is intended as a general and concise overview of Ephemeroptera biology,
diversity, and services provided to humans and other parts of our global array of freshwater …

Aim We hypothesized that mechanisms underlying beta diversity in rivers would differ
between gradients where (1) natural stressors result in progressive species turnover with …

Increased fine sediment deposition and entrainment in rivers can arise from a combination
of factors including low flows, habitat modification and excessive sediment delivery from the …

Functional traits and diversity indices have provided new insights into community responses
to stressors. Most traits of aquatic organisms have frequently been tested for predictability …

Flow regulation via impoundments threatens lotic ecosystems and the services they provide
globally. Impoundments drastically alter flow and stream temperature variability within fluvial …

Emergent aquatic insects constitute an important food source for higher trophic levels,
linking aquatic to terrestrial ecosystems. Little is known about how land use affects the …

Fine sediment is one of the major sources of stream physical and ecological impairment
worldwide. We assessed the ecological effects of fine sediment in an otherwise undisturbed …

Along with the global decline of species richness goes a loss of ecological traits. Associated
biotic homogenization of animal communities and narrowing of trait diversity threaten …

Land use intensification has led to conspicuous changes in plant and animal communities
across the world. Shifts in trait‐based functional composition have recently been …
