Studies on eucrenal-hypocrenal zonation of springs along the river mainstream: A case study of a karst canyon in Bosnia and Herzegovina
The canyons in Dinaric karst are known to harbour a diverse aquatic fauna living in springs along the river mainstream. However, the knowledge on the...

Invertebrates in Groundwater Springs and Seeps
Springs and seeps are common features of many global landscapes, representing points of emergence of the vast, underground resources of freshwater on...

Does habitat restoration enhance spring biodiversity and ecosystem functions?
Degradation of groundwater-dependent ecosystems has raised a need for their restoration, but ecological responses to restoration are largely unknown....
