DOI: 10.1080/00288330.2020.1804409
Abstract: ABSTRACT Stream biofilms play an important ecological role in the supply of energy and organic matter to aquatic food webs. Bacterial community composition in stream biofilms is shaped by biotic interactions as well as physicochemical… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/fwb.13447
Abstract: In some regions, climate change is increasing the variability of rainfall and the frequency of extreme events such as drought. Consequently, non‐flow periods have grown in length and frequency, both in temporary and in formerly… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2018.02974
Abstract: Stream biofilms have been shown to be among the most sensitive indicators of environmental stress in aquatic ecosystems and several endpoints have been developed to measure biofilm adverse effects caused by environmental stressors. Here, we… read more here.
