BACKGROUND Early civilizations developed around seasonal river floodplains, and the
natural rhythm of rivers remains critical to humans today. We use streams and rivers to meet …

Hydropower is commonly considered a renewable energy source. Nevertheless, this does
not imply an absence of impacts on the riverine ecosystem, the extent of which is expected …

Phenology changes are increasingly recognized as a common response of species to
ongoing global change. Phenology can be influenced by environmental cues that impact the …

Dendritic habitats, such as river ecosystems, promote the persistence of species by
favouring spatial asynchronous dynamics among branches. Yet, our understanding of how …

Functional traits are increasingly being used to predict extinction risks and range shifts
under long‐term climate change scenarios, but have rarely been used to study vulnerability …

Ecological drift can override the effects of deterministic niche selection on small populations
and drive the assembly of some ecological communities. We tested this hypothesis with a …

Storing and managing river flows through reservoirs could dampen or increase climate‐
induced fluctuations in streamflow, but interactions between the effects of dams and climate …

Important clues about the ecological effects of climate change can arise from understanding
the influence of other Earth‐system processes on ecosystem dynamics but few studies span …

Despite its far-reaching implications for conservation and natural resource management,
little is known about the color of environmental noise, or the structure of temporal …

Running waters in Mediterranean regions are strongly regulated by dams, which produce
significant alterations to natural flow regimes. Climate change will reduce discharge and …
