Frequent and severe disruptions of natural river flows associated with human activities
significantly alter hydrological connectivity in large river networks, with deleterious effects on …

Many freshwater fishes are imperilled globally, and there is a need for easily accessible,
contemporary ecological knowledge to guide management. This compendium contains …

Temporal variations in the configuration of the flowing portion of stream networks are
observed in the large majority of rivers worldwide. However, the ecological implications of …

Abstract Lateral Hydrological Connectivity (LHC) has been extensively fragmented in river–
floodplain ecosystems of the world. Uncertainties about how LHC affects fishes are great …

Loss of lateral hydrological connectivity (LHC) is a major cause of biodiversity decline in
river floodplains, yet little is known about its effects on aquatic functional diversity in these …

Natural river floodplains are among the Earth's most biologically diverse and productive
ecosystems but face a range of critical threats due to human disturbance. Understanding the …

We evaluated if the homogenizing effect of flooding and the environmental differentiation
during the dry period, as reflected in fish communities, are related to the type of connection …

The Paraguay-Paraná river system represents a unique, free-flowing corridor that extends
about 3500 km southwards from the Pantanal to the Rio de la Plata estuary, crossing four …

Although environmental filtering and spatial structuring are commonly regarded as two key
factors shaping community dynamics, their relative contribution remains unknown for …

Floods and droughts are key driving forces shaping aquatic ecosystems. Climate change
may alter key attributes of these events and consequently health and distribution of aquatic …
