Open AccessLong-lasting effects of experimental flow intermittency on alpine stream macroinvertebrates (Val Roseg, Switzerland)
Changing weather patterns and receding glaciers are predicted to increase flow intermittency in alpine streams. If aquatic macroinvertebrate communities largely comprise taxa adapted to perennial flows, an inc...

Riparian hunting spiders do not rely on aquatic subsidies from intermittent alpine streams
Drying in alpine streams might decrease aquatic-terrestrial trophic linkages by reducing terrestrial predation on aquatic prey. We tested this hypothesis by investigating whether a common riparian predator (hu...

Open AccessDISPERSE, a trait database to assess the dispersal potential of European aquatic macroinvertebrates
Dispersal is an essential process in population and community dynamics, but is difficult to measure in the field. In freshwater ecosystems, information on biological traits related to organisms’ morphology, li...

Effects of an experimental increase in flow intermittency on an alpine stream
Flow intermittency occurs naturally in alpine streams. However, changing rainfall patterns and glacier retreat are predicted to increase the occurrence of flow intermittency in alpine catchments, with largely ...

Open AccessResponse of fish assemblages to hydromorphological restoration in central and northern European rivers
European rivers are highly degraded and restoration efforts are becoming more frequent. However, only few restoration projects have been rigorously evaluated so far. We investigated the response of fish assemb...

Alien aquatic macroinvertebrates along the lateral dimension of a large floodplain
Floodplains are simultaneously among the most species-rich and the most threatened ecosystems. Alien aquatic macroinvertebrates contribute to this threat but remain scarcely studied in the lateral dimension of...
