Climate change is intensifying droughts via reduced snowpack and accelerated snowmelt in high mountains globally, altering community structure in snow-dependent rivers. To predict impending ecologica...

River heat waves are rising faster than the pace of air heat waves. That’s a problem for fish, drinking water quality, and food and energy production.

Scientific publishing lies at the core of academic life. It is the main mechanism through which knowledge is shared, careers are built, and progress is evaluated. However, this system has evolved i…

Recent global policy developments have highlighted the need for straightforward, robust, and meaningful biodiversity metrics. However, much of conservation science is dominated by the use of a single....

Among 90 UK higher education institutions, there was patchy mention of protected and other identity-related characteristics in fieldwork policy and risk assessments, and very limited consideration of....

Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from freshwaters represent a globally important carbon flux. However, CO2 fluxes from urban waters remain poorly constrained, and challenges remain for reliable upscali...

Aim Aquatic landscapes face severe threats from human activities propelling their deterioration. Waterscape degradation represents a main driver of the current diversity crisis, but its large-scale ...

River networks are meta-ecosystems in which resources, such as leaf-litter, and their consumers are exchanged across riparian and instream ecosystems. Consumers and leaf-litter quality and decompo...
