    The influence of particle size and mineralogy on both phosphorus retention and release by streambed sediments

    In many streams worldwide including those on the south coast of Western Australia (WA), sediments of the > 2-mm fraction often contribute up to 50% of the streambed. However, most analysis and interpretation o...

    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...

    Aquatic biodiversity in the Mediterranean climate rivers of southwestern Australia

    Southwestern Australia is recognised as a global biodiversity hotspot, characterised by high diversity and endemism of vascular terrestrial plants. However, the significance of its freshwater biodiversity is n...

    Upper thermal tolerances of key taxonomic groups of stream invertebrates

    Southwestern Australia has already undergone significant climatic warming and drying and water temperatures are increasing particularly in small streams where riparian vegetation has been cleared. The ability ...

    Fish mediate high food web connectivity in the lower reaches of a tropical floodplain river

    High levels of hydrological connectivity during seasonal flooding provide significant opportunities for movements of fish between rivers and their floodplains, estuaries and the sea, possibly mediating food we...

    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...

    Benthic Metabolism as an Indicator of Stream Ecosystem Health

    We tested direct and indirect measures of benthic metabolism as indicators of stream ecosystem health across a known agricultural land-use disturbance gradient in southeast Queensland, Australia. Gross primary...

    Community structure of the macroinvertebrate fauna and water quality of a saline river system in south-western Australia

    Many streams and rivers in the south-west of Western Australia have marginal salinities and only about half of the divertible surface water is fresh (< 3 g 1−1). Although salinization is recognised as the greates...
