Landscape perspectives in riverine ecology have been undertaken increasingly in the last
30 years, leading aquatic ecologists to develop a diverse set of approaches for …

In order to evaluate the ecological influence of hydraulic projects, aquatic habitat suitability
modeling was proposed. Compared with other environmental flow methods, this method, for …

Concerns for water resources have inspired research developments to determine the
ecological effects of water withdrawals from rivers and flow regulation below dams, and to …

Hydropower globally represents the main source of renewable energy, and provides several
benefits, eg, water storage and flexibility; on the other hand, it may cause significant impacts …

Freshwater resources are under increasing threat from anthropogenic activities, both in
terms of consumptive and non-consumptive use (Poff et al. 2010; Richter et al. 2011). The …

This study aimed to set out a new methodology for habitat modeling in high‐gradient
streams. The methodology is based on the mesoscale approach of the MesoHABSIM …

This paper relates life cycle characteristics of fishes, their environmental tolerances, habitat
requirements, and resilience against hydromorphological disturbances to a recently …

The water sector is one of the priority areas of the European Union; therefore, legislation
encourages the development of methods to protect the river ecosystem. The key to this is the …

Environmental flows have primarily a practical purpose, being an important part of water
management. Despite the widespread use of environmental flows, current studies rarely …

Modelling the linkage between physical habitat and aquatic organisms on multiple spatial
scales has become an important tool in the management of rivers. The mesoscale (100–102 …
