Mechanistic effects of low-flow hydrology on riverine ecosystems: ecological principles and consequences of alteration (2012, background): “…with lower flow permanence and duration (e.g., many streams and rivers in Mediterranean climates) tend to have higher proportions of taxa with short life spans, small body size, low fecundity, and multiplebatch recruitment (multivoltine reproduction) (Bonada et al. 2007, Arscott et al. 2010).”
Aquatic invertebrate community structure along an intermittence gradient: Selwyn River, New Zealand (2010, background): “The 3rd prediction is based on expected and reported correlations between intermittence and traits associated with dispersal, life span, fecundity, and voltinism (Williams 1996, Bonada et al. 2007).”
Comparing flow regime, channel hydraulics, and biological communities to infer flow–ecology relationships in the Mara River of Kenya and Tanzania (2014, background): “Life history adaptations, such as the timing of reproduction, are linked to long-term averages in the seasonal occurrence of high and low baseflows (Bonada et al. 2007, Naiman et al. 2008).”
Hydrology shapes taxonomic and functional structure of desert stream invertebrate communities (2015, background): “For example, Bonada et al. (2007) found no difference in macroinvertebrate species richness between permanent and intermittent rivers but did find significant among-site trait differences attributable to hydrology.”
