While land use intensification is a major driver of biodiversity change in streams, the nature
of such changes, and at which scales they occur, have not been synthesized. To synthesize …

Ensuring the provision of essential ecosystem services in systems affected by multiple
stressors is a key challenge for theoretical and applied ecology. Trait‐based approaches …

Aquatic macrophytes increase habitat complexity and influence the structure of fish
communities. We investigated relations between macrophyte stand complexity and …

The replacement of native vegetation in riparian areas by invasive species may cause
homogenization, and change the quality of allochthonous material entering streams. It may …

Terrestrial diatom communities are dynamic, partially unknown and potential bioindicators of
the soil ecological quality. Many different sampling methods for soil algae can be found in …

The drivers of dissimilarity in biological communities among habitats and the mechanisms
that modulate the distribution of functional diversity in streams are still important gaps in …

Abstract α-diversity often responds to habitat structural complexity as a unimodal function. In
aquatic systems, increasing density of aquatic vegetation creates more habitat structural …

In this study, we have shown that nutrient input in aquatic ecosystems has different impacts
on the various facets of phytoplankton and zooplankton diversity. We designed an …

Some local communities contribute more to beta diversity than others, which has been
known as compositional uniqueness or local contribution to beta diversity. Compositional …

Freshwater ecosystems face many simultaneous pressures due to human activities.
Consequently, there has been a rapid loss of freshwater biodiversity and an increase in …
