Drying has limited effects on the composition of invertebrate communities across a river network of the arid Bolivian Andes Open
This dataset consists of an Excel file with two sheets. The first sheet contains environmental data and invertebrate abundance data, while the second sheet provides explanations for each column. Specifically, the environmental variables re…

Shared leadership can promote success in collaborative research networks in ecology Open
While collaborative science is becoming the norm in ecology, many ecologists participating in collaborations are less aware of the body of research that studies the processes by which collaborative teams organize and communicate. Here, we …

Towards Sentinel-2-based monthly water occurrence mapping with the Dynamic World data suite Open
Global water occurrence data derived from satellite imagery provide critical insights into surface water dynamics, informing science and management of key issues like climate change, water scarcity, and biodiversity loss. The Landsat-based…

Inconsistent Regulatory Mapping Quietly Threatens Rivers and Streams Open
Even the most stringent environmental law cannot protect a river if its tributaries remain exposed to pollution and other threats upstream. Excluding a subset of watercourses from legal protection therefore threatens to alter freshwater ec…

Streamflow Intermittence in Europe: Estimating High‐Resolution Monthly Time Series by Downscaling of Simulated Runoff and Random Forest Modeling Open
Knowing where and when rivers cease to flow provides an important basis for evaluating riverine biodiversity, biogeochemistry and ecosystem services. We present a novel modeling approach to estimate monthly time series of streamflow interm…

Limited comparability of global and local estimates of environmental flow requirements to sustain river ecosystems Open
Environmental flows (e-flows) are a central element of sustainable water resource management to mitigate the detrimental impacts of hydrological alteration on freshwater ecosystems and their benefits to people. Many nations strive to prote…

How low can you go? Widespread challenges in measuring low stream discharge and a path forward Open
Low flows pose unique challenges for accurately quantifying streamflow. Current field methods are not optimized to measure these conditions, which in turn, limits research and management. In this essay, we argue that the lack of methods fo…

The future of global river health monitoring Open
Rivers are the arteries of human civilisation and culture, providing essential goods and services that underpin water and food security, socio-economic development and climate resilience. They also support an extraordinary diversity of bio…

A metasystem approach to designing environmental flows Open
Accelerating the design and implementation of environmental flows (e-flows) is essential to curb the rapid, ongoing loss of freshwater biodiversity and the benefits it provides to people. However, the effectiveness of e-flow programs may b…

Causes, Responses, and Implications of Anthropogenic versus Natural Flow Intermittence in River Networks Open
Rivers that do not flow year-round are the predominant type of running waters on Earth. Despite a burgeoning literature on natural flow intermittence (NFI), knowledge about the hydrological causes and ecological effects of human-induced, a…

Course‐based undergraduate research to advance environmental education, science, and resource management Open
Every year, field excursions engage students of ecology in experiential learning that results in wide‐ranging and well‐documented pedagogical benefits. Much less appreciated, however, is the potential for these excursions to contribute lon…

Drought in intermittent river and ephemeral stream networks Open
Intermittent rivers and ephemeral streams (IRES), those watercourses that periodically cease to flow or dry, are the world's most widespread type of river ecosystem. Our understanding of the natural hydrology and ecology of IRES has greatl…
