Abstract: Abstract Intermittent streams are subject to high levels of environmental variation. However, little is known about how biota responds to river drying across the channel-to-upland habitat gradient. This is an important shortcoming because assumes that… read more here.

Abstract: Stream food webs are changing in response to anthropogenic stressors, such as nutrient enrichment and water extraction. One way to monitor these changes is to examine shifts in the relative importance of autotrophic and detrital… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/fwb.13386
Abstract: 1. Intermittent streams are naturally dominant landscape features of Mediterranean and arid regions, but also occur more and more in humid climates, such as in the Czech Republic. Organism abilities to cope with drying (i.e.… read more here.
