Analysing the contribution of intermittent rivers to beta diversity can improve freshwater conservation in Mediterranean rivers
In Mediterranean climate regions, intermittent rivers (IRs) harbor highly dynamic communities with species and trait composition changing over time...

Rivers and Floodplains
Most rivers and their floodplains in Central Europe have lost their natural dynamics and the typical habitats due to anthropogenic interventions and...

Nutrients in tropical and temperate rivers and floodplains – comparison of the Rivers Songkhram (Thailand) and Narew (Poland)
Ecological processes in floodplains may function differently across climate regions. We compared the river discharge, water chemistry, and nutrient...

Structure of the Macrophyte Communities of Small Rivers in Saratov under Anthropogenic Load
Abstract —The results of investigations of the flora of small rivers within the city of Saratov (Elshanka, Nazarovka, Pervaya Gusel’ka, and Vtoraya...

Trophic ecology of Japanese eels in small rivers of urban and agricultural areas
Yellow-phase Japanese eel Anguilla japonica (Temminck & Schlegel, 1846) utilize a variety of anthropogenically impacted habitats. An extensive...

Remarkable monkey goby expansion through a new invasion route into submountain rivers
The monkey goby, an invasive Ponto-Caspian species, recently extended its range to the west and north in the Vistula River system. Dispersal of the...

Can rivers be important movement corridor for waterbirds in urban areas?
The movement corridors for waterside animals, such as waterbirds, have been studied less than those of terrestrial animals. To clarify the role of...

Small Streams and Big Rivers
Big rivers are made up of many small streams and, if some of these act in concert, they can have a measurable impact on the big river....

Distribution of Malacostracans (Malacostraca, Arthropoda) in Rivers of the Semidesert Zone (Based on the Example of Volgograd Reservoir Tributaries)
Abstract —As a result of our studies of the macro- and nectozoobenthos of the rivers of the semidesert zone (the Volgograd Reservoir basin), we have...

Assessing the occurrence of annual maximum daily discharge for five of the longest rivers in Africa
Widespread flooding in Africa has devastating repercussions on communities, and sometimes leading to loss of life, displacement of populations, and...

Mayfly taxonomic and functional diversity in hydrologically extreme habitats of temporary pools in the Mediterranean karst intermittent rivers
Temporary pools are small and shallow freshwater habitats with a recurring dry phase and intermittent stagnant water. They are particularly well...

Spatiotemporal patterns in habitat use of natal and non-natal adult Atlantic sturgeon in two spawning rivers
BackgroundMonitoring movement across an organism’s ontogeny is often challenging, particularly for long-lived or wide-ranging species. When empirical...

The functional diversity of plants dispersed via three upland rivers in humid subtropical monsoon climate
The plant diversity of riparian zones has significantly deteriorated due to human disturbances, making their restoration a key focus in research....

Salinity Tolerance and Seasonal and Multiyear Dynamics of Biting Midges (Diptera, Ceratopogonidae) in Macrozoobenthos Communities of Saline Rivers (the Lake Elton Basin, Russia)
AbstractThe results of long-term studies of biting midges (Diptera, Ceratopogonidae) in macrozoobenthos communities of five saline rivers of the...

Genetic Diversity of the European Perch (Perca fluviatilis Linnaeus, 1758) from Some Rivers of Russia
AbstractData on the nucleotide sequence variability of the mtDNA cytochrome b gene of the European perch ( Perca fluviatilis Linnaeus, 1758) from the...

Human activities disrupt the temporal dynamics of salinity in Spanish rivers
Human activities are not only increasing salinization of rivers, they might also be altering the temporal dynamics of salinity. Here, we assess the...

Influence of climate, physical and chemical variables on the taxonomic and functional responses of macroinvertebrate communities in tropical island rivers
Rivers of tropical islands formed by volcanic eruptions experience unpredictable and heavy rainfall and are characterised by irregular topography....

Flood pulses and fish species coexistence in tropical rivers - a theoretical food web model
Freshwater fish diversity reaches its zenith in large tropical rivers. Although the origins of this diversity have been relatively well studied, the...

Contribution of invasive carp (Cyprinus carpio) to fish biomass in rivers of the Murray–Darling Basin, Australia
Following the introduction of the ‘Boolarra’ strain to Australia in the mid 1960’s, Common carp ( Cyprinus carpio ) rapidly spread in waterways across...

A large-scale field experiment across six rivers illustrates how the effects of resource enrichment are context dependent
Resource supplementation can increase species richness and change the faunal composition of communities, but experiments have produced variable...
