• Linkages between flow regime, biota, and ecosystem processes: Implications for river restoration (2019, background): “For instance, hydropeaking reduces the viability of river-edge egglaying specialists by limiting their access to suitable spawning habitat, disrupting reproductive success and insect emergence (82).”
• Beyond the natural flow regime? Broadening the hydro‐ecological foundation to meet environmental flows challenges in a non‐stationary world (2018, background): “For example, recruitment failure by insects (Kennedy et al., 2016) or riparian trees (Lytle & Merritt, 2004; Rood et al., 2003) does not manifest in species abundances for many months, and shifts in community structure under flow regulation (Mims & Olden, 2012) is a relatively slow process that can…”
