• The three Rs of river ecosystem resilience: Resources, recruitment, and refugia (2019, background): “…pulse disturbances, human-induced alterations, such as flow regime alteration, pollutant inputs, climate change or habitat degradation, mostly take the character of press or ramp disturbances (increasing gradually or incrementally in intensity) in river ecosystems and their communities (Lake 2000).”
• Invertebrate assemblages of pools in arid‐land streams have high functional redundancy and are resistant to severe drying (2014, background): “As stagnant pools dry, temperature and conductivity increase and dissolved oxygen decreases (Everard, 1996; Lake, 2000).”
• Macroinvertebrates in streams: A review of some ecological factors (2012, background): “Natural disturbance (or discreet events that damage abiotic properties of an environment) plays a pervasive role in structuring most ecological communities and particularly stream benthic communities (Resh et al., 1988; Lake, 2000).”
• The hyporheic refuge hypothesis reconsidered: a review of hydrological aspects (2011, background): “Despite being often natural, these fluctuations can severely affect the benthic communities, which are generally characterised by low resistance (capacity to withstand a disturbance Reice et al. 1990; Lake 2000) and high resilience (capacity to recover from disturbance, Lake 2000).”
• Fish community responses to drying disturbances in an intermittent stream: a landscape perspective (2007, background): “Refugia play a critical role in moderating the influence of abiotic disturbances on population dynamics and community structure (Sedell et al., 1990; Lake, 2000; Magoulick & Kobza, 2003), yet few studies have investigated how the position of refugia within the landscape interacts with the mobility o”
• The role of refugia for fishes during drought: a review and synthesis (2003, background): “be defined in terms of their effects on organisms (Pickett & White, 1985; Townsend & Hildrew, 1994) or of their physical nature (Rykiel, 1985; Resh et al., 1988; Poff, 1992; Lake, 2000).”
• Global Change and the Biodiversity of Freshwater Ecosystems: Impacts on Linkages between Above-Sediment and Sediment Biota (2000, background): “Such disturbances can deplete the biota, disrupt ecological processes, and redistribute resources (Giller 1996, Lake 2000).”
• Propagule banks and regenerative strategies of aquatic plants (2004, background): “Seed banks of permanently aquatic habitats (true hydrophyte communities) experiencing frequent (i.e. several times a year), unpredictable and very short periods of drying up (‘pulse’ disturbance sensu Lake 2000) have seldom been investigated (Abernethy & Willby 1999).”
• Aquatic invertebrate community structure along an intermittence gradient: Selwyn River, New Zealand (2010, background): “Channel drying and high-flow events can be regarded as the endpoints of a spectrum of hydrologic variation that shapes lotic invertebrate communities (Lake 2000, Fritz and Dodds 2005).”
• Mobility of stream invertebrates in relation to disturbance and refugia: a test of habitat templet theory (2003, background): “E-mail: c.gjerlov@ccw.gov.uk plays a central role in structuring communities (Pickett and White 1985, Resh et al. 1988, Reice et al. 1990, Lake 2000, Matthaei and Townsend 2000).”
• Organic matter availability during pre- and post-drought periods in a Mediterranean stream (2010, background): “These are expected to cause an increase in the frequency and intensity of floods and droughts (Arnell et al., 1996), and a substantial change in organic matter (OM) accumulation and processing (Lake, 2000; Acuña et al., 2007).”
• Control of stream insect assemblages: roles of spatial configuration and local environmental factors (2008, background): “Streams are characterised by frequent disturbances in terms of flash floods, bottom freeze, and periodical water deficiency ( Allan, 1995; Lake, 2000 ).”
• Biodiversity of Aquatic Insects: Spatial Gradients and Environmental Correlates of Assemblage-Level Measures at Large Scales (2009, neutral): “, 1988; Poff, 1992) and constitute important determinants of diversity (Resh et al., 1988; Lake, 2000).”
