Summary 1. Determined by landscape structure as well dispersal‐related traits of species, connectivity influences various key aspects population biology, ranging from persistence to genetic and diversity. Here, we investigated differences in small‐scale terms gene flow between populations two ecologically important invertebrates with contrasting traits: an amphipod ( Gammarus fossarum ) a purely aquatic life cycle mayfly Baetis rhodani terrestrial adult stage. 2. We used highly polymorphic...

Dispersal is an essential process in population and community dynamics, but difficult to measure the field. In freshwater ecosystems, information on biological traits related organisms' morphology, life history behaviour provides useful dispersal proxies, remains scattered or unpublished for many taxa. We compiled multiple dispersal-related of European aquatic macroinvertebrates a unique resource, DISPERSE database. includes nine subdivided into 39 trait categories 480 taxa, including...

Summary Molecular genetic techniques have been used in freshwater biology for more than 30 years. Early work focussed on studies of population structure, systematics and taxonomy. More recently, the range has broadened to include ecology adaptation. Advances analytical methods technology (e.g. next‐generation sequencing) decreasing costs data production ensure that field will continue develop broaden scope. At least three factors make application molecular exciting. First, highly variable...

Abstract Although climate warming has been widely demonstrated to induce shifts in the timing of many biological events, phenological consequences other prominent global change drivers remain largely unknown. Here, we investigated effects invasions on seasonality leaf litter decomposition, a crucial freshwater ecosystem function. Decomposition rates were quantified 18 temperate shallow lakes distributed along gradient crayfish invasion and temperature‐based model was constructed predict...

As the share of renewable energy grows worldwide, flexible production from peak-operating hydropower and phenomenon hydropeaking have received increasing attention. In this study, we collected open research questions 220 experts in river science, practice, policy across globe using an online survey available six languages related to hydropeaking. We used a systematic method determining expert consensus (Delphi method) identify 100 high-priority following thematic fields: (a) hydrology, (b)...

Linking their major biotic and abiotic components, food webs form the core of ecosystems, many which are today exposed to multiple human impacts acting at several spatial temporal scales. A web perspective allows for a quantification environmental change effects on both structure biological diversity functioning ecosystems. Food metrics based stable isotope analysis (SIA) represent promising way an integrative assessment these responses. While showing high sensitivity change, they are,...

Summary Many streams today have modified channels, substratum composition, flows and temperature regimes. Understanding how these potential stressors affect key processes governing populations is crucial towards counteracting species decline loss. For aquatic organisms with complex life cycles that include a terrestrial adult stage, successful reproduction involving transition from the to environment for oviposition can be an important constraint. Our main goal was test effects of local...

Understanding what regulates population sizes of organisms with complex life cycles is challenging because limits on can occur at any stage or transition. We extend a conceptual framework to explore whether numbers successfully laid eggs determine densities later stages in insects, fish, amphibians, and snails inhabiting marine, freshwater, terrestrial habitats. Our review suggests novel hypotheses, which propose characteristics species environments that create spatial variation egg predict...

Abstract An increase in the demand for renewable energy is driving hydropower development and its integration with variable sources. When produced flexibly from plants, it causes rapid frequent artificial flow fluctuations rivers, a phenomenon known as hydropeaking. Hydropeaking associated hydrological alterations cause multiple impacts on riverine habitats cascading effects ecosystem functioning structure. Given significance of ecological socio‐economic implications, mitigation hydropeaking...
