A year-long field study was undertaken to investigate the influence of a number of physical and biological factors, specifically temperature, organic carbon content, and shrimp population dynamics on sediment reworking rates by the ghost shrimp Neotrypaea calforniensis. Because of its role as a structuring agent in estuaries along the West...
Temporary rivers are increasingly common freshwater ecosystems, but there have been no global syntheses of their community patterns. In this study, we examined the responses of aquatic invertebrate communities to flow intermittence in 14 rivers from multiple biogeographic regions covering a wide range of flow intermittence and spatial arrangements of...
The reality confronting ecosystem managers today is one of heterogeneous, rapidly transforming landscapes,
particularly in the areas more affected by urban and agricultural development. A landscape management
framework that incorporates all systems, across the spectrum of degrees of alteration, provides a fuller set of
options for how and when to...
