A simple field method for assessing the ecological quality of riparian habitat in rivers and streams: QBR index
1. An index of riparian quality useful for the management of streams and rivers is presented. The purpose of the index is to provide managers with a simple method to evaluate riparian habitat…

Benthic macroinvertebrate assemblages and macrohabitat connectivity in Mediterranean-climate streams of northern California
Abstract Drought leads to a loss of longitudinal and lateral hydrologic connectivity, which causes direct or indirect changes in stream ecosystem properties. Changes in macrohabitat availability from…

Macroinvertebrate community structure and biological traits related to flow permanence in a Mediterranean river network
TLDR
The findings indicate that drought is related to habitat characteristics and that local habitat variability favours organisms with certain traits, while other traits are independent of habitat variability on this scale and are probably affected by other large-scale habitat characteristics.

Ecological and historical filters constraining spatial caddisfly distribution in Mediterranean rivers
TLDR
Despite the importance of historical factors for biogeography and the large scale used in the study, ecological variables better explained caddisfly distribution, while rare taxa contributed to the explanation of subtle patterns not shown by common species.

Fire as a disturbance in mediterranean climate streams
Mediterranean climate ecosystems are among the most fire-prone in the world; however, little is known about the effects of fire on mediterranean streams (med-streams). Fire impacts on med-streams are…

Climate changes and human activities recorded in the sediments of Lake Estanya (NE Spain) during the Medieval Warm Period and Little Ice Age
A multi-proxy study of short sediment cores recovered in small, karstic Lake Estanya (42°02′ N, 0°32′ E, 670 m.a.s.l.) in the Pre-Pyrenean Ranges (NE Spain) provides a detailed record of the complex…

A comparison of rapid bioassessment protocols used in 2 regions with Mediterranean climates, the Iberian Peninsula and South Africa
Abstract The ability of 2 Rapid Bioassessment Protocols (RBPs) to assess stream water quality was compared in 2 Mediterranean-climate regions. The most commonly used RBPs in South Africa…
