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...

Open AccessSediment replenishment combined with an artificial flood improves river habitats downstream of a dam
River reaches downstream dams where a constant residual flow discharge is imposed, often lack sediment supply and periodic inundation due to the absence of natural flood events. In this study, a two-year retur...

Open AccessEcological influence of sediment bypass tunnels on macroinvertebrates in dam-fragmented rivers by DNA metabarcoding
Sediment bypass tunnels (SBTs) are guiding structures used to reduce sediment accumulation in reservoirs during high flows by transporting sediments to downstream reaches during operation. Previous studies mon...

Open AccessDistribution and population genetic variation of cryptic species of the Alpine mayfly Baetis alpinus (Ephemeroptera: Baetidae) in the Central Alps
Many species contain evolutionarily distinct groups that are genetically highly differentiated but morphologically difficult to distinguish (i.e., cryptic species). The presence of cryptic species poses signif...

Open AccessBottlenecks drive temporal and spatial genetic changes in alpine caddisfly metapopulations
Extinction and re-colonisation of local populations is common in ephemeral habitats such as temporary streams. In most cases, such population turnover leads to reduced genetic diversity within populations and ...

Genetic differentiation of Baetis alpinus Pictet (Ephemeroptera: Baetidae) in fragmented alpine streams
The interpretation of low FST values as evidence of high levels of gene flow among habitat fragments may be confounded by population genetic structures that are indicative of historical rather than present-day le...
