Temporary rivers and streams are among the most common and most hydrologically
dynamic freshwater ecosystems. The number of temporary rivers and the severity of flow …

Little is known about the insular diversity and its determinants in the freshwater invertebrates
in comparison to land animals. Our goal is to obtain global-scale information on the insular …

How species reach and persist in isolated habitats remains an open question in many
cases, especially for rapidly spreading invasive species. This is particularly true for …

Freshwater ecosystems are linked at various spatial and temporal scales by movements of
biota adapted to life in water. We review the literature on movements of aquatic organisms …

The magnitude of community-wide dispersal is central to metacommunity models, yet
dispersal is notoriously difficult to quantify in passive and cryptic dispersers such as many …

Large river–floodplain systems are characterised by seasonal flow variability. High flows
lead to hydrological connection between the main channel and inundated off‐channel lakes …

Dry, ephemeral, desert wetlands are major sources of windblown sediment, as well as
repositories for diapausing stages (propagules) of aquatic invertebrates. Zooplankton …

The sequence in which new colonists reach an empty habitat can be crucial for future
development and species structure of communities. It is therefore important to assess …

We use mitochondrial (mtCOI) and nuclear (nH3) sequence data to investigate
differentiation of Eudiaptomus hadzici, a freshwater copepod endemic to the Western …

In recent decades, a global acceleration of urbanization has been observed, leading to
significant habitat loss and fragmentation. Economic development in eastern Thailand has …
