Productivity and Connectivity in Tropical Riverscapes of Northern Australia: Ecological Insights for Management
Flow regimes are fundamental to sustaining ecological characteristics of rivers worldwide, including their associated floodplains. Recent advances in understanding tropical river–floodplain ecosystems suggest ...

Temporal variation in benthic primary production in streams of the Australian wet–dry tropics
In the Australian wet–dry tropics, seasonal changes in hydrology can influence abiotic conditions and consequently influence standing stocks of benthic biomass and production. While there is some understanding...

Habitat complexity: approaches and future directions
Habitat complexity is one of the most important factors structuring biotic assemblages, yet we still lack basic understanding of the underlying mechanisms. Although it is one of the primary targets in conserva...

Leaf litter chemistry, decomposition and assimilation by macroinvertebrates in two tropical streams
Riparian vegetation typically provides substantial allochthonous material to aquatic ecosystems where micro-organisms can play an important role in organic matter degradation which can support consumer biomass...

Habitat structural complexity mediates food web dynamics in a freshwater macrophyte community
A considerable amount of research has investigated the influence of habitat structure on predator success, yet few studies have explored the implications for community structure and food-web dynamics. The rela...

Habitat structural complexity mediates the foraging success of multiple predator species
We investigated the role of freshwater macrophytes as refuge by testing the hypothesis that predators capture fewer prey in more dense and structurally complex habitats. We also tested the hypothesis that habi...
