Summary 1. The influence of hydraulic conditions on the spatial distribution macroinvertebrate assemblages was investigated in three riffles a perennial Australian river. 2. Velocity, depth and variability substrate roughness were measured at each 56 sampling locations. Complex variables (roughness Reynolds number, shear velocity, Froude number) calculated from combinations two or directly variables. biological significance complex determined by combination univariate multivariate...

Two difficult decisions in the design of any bioassessment program based on stream macroinvertebrates are number and types habitats that should be sampled taxonomic level to which specimens identified. We used a large data set from biomonitoring streams greater Sydney region, New South Wales, Australia, compare results obtained with an average-score-per-taxon type biotic index among several between levels family genus. evaluated sensitivity family- genus-level indices calculated for 5 (edges...

Approximately 15% of the world’s total run-off is presently retained by more than 45 000 large dams. However, extent downstream ecological impacts those dams rarely assessed. The longitudinal effects a reservoir on substrate, water quality and riffle macroinvertebrate communities were examined between 0.5 18.3 km Tallowa Dam. number taxa Australian River Assessment Scheme observed v. expected score generally increased with increasing distance from dam, average clast size decreased showed...

Abstract This research reports on a quantitative analysis of the combination two types disfluency, reformulations and pauses, in speech lower intermediate advanced speakers English as second language (L2). The present study distinguishes between corrections false starts within category well silent filled pauses. It focuses extent to which pause behavior varies according stage L2 development type reformulation used. An was made 56 speakers’ 2-min monologues. results showed that differed...

Abstract Analysis of inflections or breakpoints apparent in relationships between measures wetted perimeter and discharge can be used to assist the determination minimum environmental flows for perennial rivers.

ABSTRACT Reduced mixing of deep pools attributable to river regulation and downstream flow suppression can lead an increase in the magnitude, frequency duration thermal stratification riverine over summer. This study monitored hourly temperature profiles with five thermistor loggers a 15 m natural pool 12 months from May 2005. Detailed bathymetric topographic survey data HEC‐RAS hydraulic modelling layer Richardson numbers were used extend observations flow‐related breakdown this single 20...

Inhibitory control (IC), an ability to suppress irrelevant and/or conflicting information, has been found underlie performance on a variety of cognitive tasks, including bilingual language processing. This study examines the relationship between IC and speech patterns second (L2) users from perspective individual differences. While majority studies have supported role in processing using single-word production paradigms, this work looks at inhibitory processes context extended speech, with...

Although tributary inputs can accelerate the recovery of many physical and chemical gradients below large reservoirs, their contribution to dissolved organic carbon (DOC) regime in regulated rivers remains poorly studied. In some tributaries, flow volumes be manipulated, potentially influencing DOC supply main stem. The present study examines how water diversion affects a snowmelt river by reservoirs. concentration was measured at stem sites, export estimated under different flow-diversion...

Significant water diversion, flow variability, and the lack of high events can result in altered channel surfaces morphology through accumulation fine sediments within riverbed. Mitigation this issue using environmental often involves single large annual flushing floods as peak discharge is regarded critical hydrological metric for river habitat recovery. We assess performance a scaled strategy five intra-annual experimental to mobilise sediment below reservoir Snowy River, Australia....

As in many growing urban areas, the prevention of environmental damage as Sydney spreads westward into Hawkesbury-Nepean River basin is a major challenge for planners, managers and local community, We surveyed macroinvertebrates at 45 river stream sites April-June 1996, reviewed data from other sources, order to assess issues involved conservation lotic macro invertebrate fauna, Regional richness high with 443 recorded species morphospecies, Cluster analysis showed community pattems related...

The cultural importance of water to the Aboriginal people Snowy Mountains is significant. Water integral healthy waterways, resource availability, and practices that form customs belief systems. Although there was previously no comprehensive formal legal mechanism specifically account for in governance arrangements, authors document initial restorative healing process establishing management Mountains. We identify four pillars as (1) respect, (2) recognition, (3) representation, (4)...
