Meandering rivers are characterized by geomorphic units like cut banks, point bars, and thalwegs. These units arise from interactions between hydrological and geomorphological forces. However, the individual contributions of geomorphic units to whole-river metabolism or nutrient processing are unclear because these quantifications are often done at larger spatial scales. We used closed recirculating

Population genetic connectivity is influenced by multiple abiotic and biotic attributes, including geography, dispersal ability, and life history, which may lead to different patterns of population structure of organisms occupying similar habitats.

Poorly constructed road crossings block upstream movement of fish into stream reaches that provide critical habitat or connect isolated populations. Although removing these barriers is often a conservation priority, quantifying fish passage following removal has not been well studied, particularly in intermittent streams. In this study, we sought to understand how barriers influence the dispersal of

The abundance of freshwater mussels is declining globally. To better understand and possibly reverse this trend, we need more information on the occurrence and distribution of freshwater mussels. Using environmental DNA (eDNA) to detect species is a sensitive and cost-effective approach that can complement conventional monitoring methods. The quantity and distribution of eDNA in a waterbody determines

The organization of species metacommunities can be controlled by local factors, such as habitat quality, landscape factors, such as land use, and spatial factors, such as stream network distances. Species within a metacommunity have different traits that may be used to understand the determinants of community structure. This study aimed to understand how changes in environmental and spatial factors

Chemical fragmentation of stream systems and fish species richness: The upstream effects of water pollution Freshw. Sci. (IF 1.8) Pub Date : 2022-11-04 Andrew M. Turner
The loading of chemical pollutants into stream systems can result in isolation of aquatic communities upstream of the discharge. Ecological theory suggests that isolation will result in species richness losses, but this potential indirect effect of stream pollution is not widely studied. Here, I present a study of fish assemblage structure in watersheds that have been longitudinally fragmented by abandoned

Nutrient limitation of periphytic algal assemblages in agricultural streams across grassland to boreal landscapes Freshw. Sci. (IF 1.8) Pub Date : 2022-11-02 Sydney R. Huculak, Suzanne E. Tank, Greg S. Piorkowski, Madison Kobryn, Rolf D. Vinebrooke
Land-use practices can deteriorate the health of aquatic ecosystems in lower-order streams by increasing the availability of nutrients to periphytic algae. The magnitude of eutrophication likely depends in part on the nature of nutrient limitation and other local environmental factors. We used nutrient diffusing substrates and assessments of taxonomically diagnostic pigments to experimentally identify

Over the past century, native amphibian species in California, USA, have declined in geographic range and population size, including precipitous declines of the California Red-legged Frog Rana draytonii Baird and Girard, 1852 and the California Tiger Salamander Ambystoma californiense Gray, 1853.

Wildfire has become increasingly common and severe in forested landscapes across the western United States. Stream and air temperatures within these landscapes are influenced not only by direct heating during the fire but by shading from heavy smoke. In addition, dissolved oxygen (DO) can be affected by increased ash inputs from fire or reduced primary production under lower light conditions. Because

Occupancy of invasive Northern Crayfish (Faxonius virilis) in northern streams is associated primarily with water temperature Freshw. Sci. (IF 1.8) Pub Date : 2022-10-06 Victoria A. Van Mierlo, Stephanie J. Green, Craig A. Emmerton, Mina Nasr, Cristina Buendia, Faye R. Wyatt, Mark S. Poesch
Invasive species are the 2nd-greatest threat to global freshwater biodiversity. Crayfish are especially robust invaders due to their omnivorous nature and ability to compete both directly (resource procurement) and indirectly (habitat occupation and modification) with native species. The Northern Crayfish (Faxonius virilis Hagen, 1870) was introduced to the North Saskatchewan River basin (Alberta,

Resource limitation of autotrophs and heterotrophs in boreal forest headwater streams Freshw. Sci. (IF 1.8) Pub Date : 2022-09-14 Sophie A. Weaver, Jeremy B. Jones
Autotrophic and heterotrophic microbes in stream biofilms dominate biogeochemical cycling and rely on nutrient and energy resources for growth and productivity. In the boreal forest, variation in these resources can originate from permafrost distribution and controls competition for nutrients between stream autotrophs and heterotrophs. We investigated which resources control nutrient uptake and metabolism

Human-mediated biological invasions can greatly reduce native species diversity. More than 138 nonnative fishes have been introduced to the United States. Many of these nonnative species can alter ecosystem dynamics and compete with native species. The planktivorous Silver Carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix Valenciennes in Cuvier and Valenciennes, 1844) is a nonnative species of concern that is currently

Nitrification rates and ammonia-oxidizer functional gene abundance were measured in the water column of Lake Lacawac, Pennsylvania, USA, a freshwater lake on a nature sanctuary that allowed an investigation with minimal human impacts. Nitrification is a 2-step process consisting of ammonia oxidation followed by nitrite oxidation. Recent studies have shown that these 2 nitrification steps may be uncoupled

Urban streams can provide amenities to people living in cities, but those benefits are reduced when streams become degraded, potentially even causing harm (disease, toxic compounds, etc.).

The predator-permanence hypothesis predicts that as hydroperiod increases in lentic ecosystems, biotic interactions—mainly predation—replace physical factors like drying as the main determinant of community structure and population dynamics. We propose that the same transition occurs over time in seasonally flooded ecosystems that are connected to permanent water bodies. To test for evidence of successional

Urbanization and stream ecology: Moving the bar on multidisciplinary solutions to wicked urban stream problems Freshw. Sci. (IF 1.8) Pub Date : 2022-08-17 Megan L. Fork, Kristina G. Hopkins, Jessica Chappell, Robert Hawley, Sujay S. Kaushal, Brian Murphy, Blanca Ríos-Touma, Allison H. Roy
Decades of research on the effects of urbanization on stream ecology have shown that urban stream problems are inherently wicked. These problems are wicked in the sense that they are difficult to solve because information is incomplete, changing, or conflicting and because finding potential solutions often requires input from stakeholders who can have conflicting and competing values.
