Freshwater Invertebrate Life History Strategies for Surviving Desiccation (2015, background): “Until relatively recently, dry sediments in temporary aquatic habitats were often considered to be biologically inactive [128, 131].”
Stream Biofilm Responses to Flow Intermittency: From Cells to Ecosystems (2016, background): “During the stream contraction process, pools are formed in the deeper parts of the stream, where lotic communities are gradually replaced by lentic others and even semiaquatic or terrestrially-derived biota (Stanley et al., 1997; Steward et al., 2012; Timoner et al., 2014a).”
Broad-scale patterns of invertebrate richness and community composition in temporary rivers: effects of flow intermittence (2014, background): “…rivers with natural flow regimes are characterized by large variations in discharge, 358 including drought periods (Lake 2003, Lytle and Poff 2004), drying may not be an 359 evolutionary force restricted to temporary rivers as previously thought (c.f., Williams 2006, 360 Steward et al. 2012).”
