River networks are hierarchical dendritic habitats embedded within the terrestrial landscape,
with varying connectivity between sites depending on their positions along the network. This …

Many once‐perennial rivers have become intermittent. Channel drying can result in fish
mortality if refuges are not available. Understanding where refuges occur and if fishes use …

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 …

Intermittent stream systems create a mosaic of aquatic habitat that changes through time,
potentially challenging freshwater invertebrate dispersal. Invertebrates inhabiting these …

Severe weather events, such as long‐term droughts, are challenging for many freshwater
species. To survive drought, freshwater crayfish tend to inhabit shelters or burrows where …

Background Marine species have colonized extreme environments during evolution such as
freshwater habitats. The amphidromous teleost fish, Galaxias maculatus is found mainly …

Anthropogenically driven flow intermittency is increasing in freshwater streams, with
important implications for the management and conservation of aquatic ecosystems …

Non-perennial rivers are valuable water resources that support millions of humans globally,
as well as unique riparian ecosystems. In Australia, the Earth's driest inhabited continent …

As climate change progresses, large (> 400 km 2) fires are becoming more frequent across
many biomes, often in association with intense drought. We analysed 5 years of stream …

The frequency and duration of exceptionally intense droughts is increasing as a
consequence of ongoing climate change in many regions of the planet. Lower rain fall in …
