Fish assemblages respond to altered flow regimes via ecological filtering of life history strategies (2013, background): “Social, political and scientific pressure to ‘legitimise’ rivers as water users has resulted in a move to find compromises in dam management to meet both human and ecosystem water needs (Arthington et al., 2010) through the provisioning of ‘environmental flows’ (Arthington et al.”
Effects of ocean sprawl on ecological connectivity: impacts and solutions (2017, background): “…environmental ﬂ ows ’ from dams may be used to restore longitudinal connectivity by providingsuf ﬁ cientdepthforpassage of organisms over shallow habitats (Arthington et al., 2010) or prevent the accumulation of sand and, consequently, the formation of sand bar barriers across estuary mouths…”
Global alteration of freshwaters: influences on human and environmental well-being (2011, methodology): “…2006), to devise practical approaches for a balancing water uses (e.g., Johnson et al. 2001; IWMI (International Water Management Institute) 2006; Arthington et al. 2010; Poff et al. 2010), to conserve the earth’s freshwaters (e.g., the Freshwater Sustainability Project of The Nature…”
An index-based framework for assessing patterns and trends in river fragmentation and flow regulation by global dams at multiple scales (2017, background): “…impacts on the ecological integrity of aquatic systems and on the productivity of river systems that provide important resources for rural communities and regional economies (Tockner and Stanford 2002, Arthington et al 2010, Poff and Zimmerman 2010, Richter © 2015 IOPPublishing Ltd et al 2010).”
Global streamflow and thermal habitats of freshwater fishes under climate change (2013, background): “In addition, variability in river flow is required to sustain ecosystem functioning (e.g. Arthington et al. 2010).”
Comparing flow regime, channel hydraulics, and biological communities to infer flow–ecology relationships in the Mara River of Kenya and Tanzania (2014, background): “…of aquatic systems and alarming evidence that the flow regimes of rivers around the world are being severely altered by engineered infrastructure, land-use change, and water withdrawal (Poff et al. 1997, Naiman et al. 2002, Postel and Richter 2003, Nilsson et al. 2005, Arthington et al. 2010).”
