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 …

Invertebrates play important ecological roles in wetlands, but what factors control their
dynamics are poorly established. I review available research conducted in 14 areas of North …

Aquatic macroinvertebrates inhabiting temporary rivers are typically described as having low
resistance to riverbed drying. However, little research has examined the 'seedbank'within …

Aquatic invertebrate communities inhabiting intermittent rivers that are characterised by
recurrent drying events (flow cessation or complete disappearance of surface water) often …

Global climate change scenarios predict more frequent and extended droughts, especially in
the mid-latitudes. For many stream insects, these increasing periods of drought are likely to …

Many regions across the globe are shifting to more arid climates. For shallow lakes,
decreasing rainfall volume and timing, changing regional wind patterns and increased …

The aquatic invertebrate 'seedbank'comprises life stages that remain viable in the bed
sediments of temporary freshwaters during dry phases. This seedbank promotes persistence …

Flow permanence (the proportion of time that flowing water is present) strongly influences
benthic invertebrate assemblages in ephemeral and intermittent river reaches. Effects of …

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 …

The terrestrial arthropod fauna of wetlands has been largely ignored by scientists compared
to other ecological elements, yet these organisms are among the most important influences …
