Flow regulation between irrigation storages and demand offtakes often results in prolonged
elevated flows in the river channel during a period that would otherwise typically experience …

Contrary to that for lakes and ponds, our knowledge of the influence of planktivorous fish on
zooplankton communities in rivers is slight, largely because of the general assumption that …

Microinvertebrates play a critical role in riverine food webs, and recent studies have
hypothesized that slackwaters, non‐flowing regions associated with the main channel, are …

The major assumption of currently accepted fish recruitment hypotheses (eg flood pulse
concept and flood recruitment model) is that in the absence of overbank flows the main river …

Planktivorous fish are important in shaping zooplankton communities in many freshwater
ecosystems, and there is an intrinsic link between the active and resting forms of many …

This edited volume reviews our past and present understanding of the ecology of Australian
freshwater fishes. It compares patterns and processes in Australia with those on other …

This study investigated the importance of dispersal and retention processes during early
ontogeny for three caridean shrimp species that complete their entire life history in …

Physical habitat results from interactions between a channel's morphology, the sediment it
contains, and the flow through it. These interactions result in variations in velocity, depth …

The rivers of the wet-dry tropics in northern Australia support highly productive and diverse
ecosystems, with a wide variety and abundance of freshwater fish. However, there are …

Riverscape ecology aims to incorporate the biotic and abiotic patterns and processes at
spatial and temporal scales appropriate to organisms of interest. Set within a riverscape …
