Headwater streams and wetlands are integral components of watersheds that are critical for biodiversity, fisheries, ecosystem functions, natural resource-based economies, and human society and culture. These and other ecosystem services provided by intact and clean headwater streams and wetlands are critical for a sustainable future. Loss of legal protections for...
Hydrology is a fundamental factor influencing ecosystem dynamics, life-history strategies, and diversity patterns in running-water habitats. However, it remains unclear how hydrology may structure the taxonomic and functional composition of communities, especially in systems with high spatiotemporal variability in flow. We examined invertebrate diversity from 7 desert streams in the...

Greater scientific knowledge, changing societal values, and legislative mandates have emphasized the importance
of implementing large-scale flow experiments (FEs) downstream of dams. We provide the first global assessment
of FEs to evaluate their success in advancing science and informing management decisions. Systematic
review of 113 FEs across 20 countries revealed...
