We investigated the seasonal variation of biological traits and the influence of interannual
rainfall variability on this pattern. Using long‐term survey data (6–19 years) from an …

Long‐term data are needed to assess spatial and temporal variability of communities and
their resilience to natural and anthropogenic disturbances, particularly in climatic regions …

Concerns about the effects of fire on ecologically sensitive habitats have limited the use of
prescribed fire in the management of forest riparian areas. Using a beyond-BACI (Before …

We examined long-term variability of the biological traits of benthic macroinvertebrate
communities using data collected annually (20-, 7-, and 8-years in duration, respectively) …

The term rare has spatial and temporal, as well as conservation and management,
connotations when applied to ecological surveys. We examined the frequency of temporal …

Long-term variability of bioassessments has not been well evaluated. We analyzed a 20-
year data set (1984–2003) from four sites in two northern California streams to examine the …

Abstract In Portland (Oregon, USA), restoration actions have been undertaken at the
watershed scale (eg revegetation and stormwater management) to improve water quality …

The fishes of Martis Creek, in the Sierra Nevada of California (USA), were sampled at four
sites annually over 30 years, 1979–2008. This long‐term data set was used to examine (1) …

Knowing how physical and biogenic habitat characteristics affect microspatial variability of
larval caddisflies is important to understanding potential population distributions and local …

Regulated flow releases on the Trinity River in northern California have shifted the timing of
high flows from winter to late spring and reduced their magnitude. The timing and extent of …
