▪ Abstract Streams in mediterranean-climate regions (areas surrounding the Mediterranean Sea, parts of western North America, parts of west and south Australia, southwestern South Africa and parts of central Chile) are physically, chemically, and biologically shaped by sequential, predictable, seasonal events of flooding and drying over an annual cycle. Correspondingly, aquatic communities undergo a yearly cycle whereby abiotic (environmental) controls that dominate during floods are reduced…

High variability is a defining component of mediterranean-climate rivers and their biota

Variability in flow as a result of seasonal precipitation patterns is a defining element of streams and rivers in Mediterranean-climate regions of the world and strongly influences the biota of these…

Mediterranean-climate streams and rivers: geographically separated but ecologically comparable freshwater systems

Streams and rivers in mediterranean-climate regions (med-rivers in med-regions) are ecologically unique, with flow regimes reflecting precipitation patterns. Although timing of drying and flooding is…

The influence of land use and Mediterranean seasonality on California stream fishes

Freshwaters ecosystems support extraordinary biodiversity relative to their extent and provide important societal benefits. As such, freshwater environments and biota are often heavily impacted by…

Flow intermittence in river networks: understanding the ecohydrological diversity of aquatic–terrestrial ecosystems

Temporary streams comprise dynamic mosaics of lotic, lentic and terrestrial habitats and dominate global river networks, occurring across regions with contrasting climate types. Recent advances in…

Riparian vegetation responses to altered flow regimes driven by climate change in Mediterranean rivers

Mediterranean regions are characterized by a large intra‐annual and inter‐annual variability in rainfall and associated hydrological regime patterns. Predictions of changes in climate indicate that…

Taxonomic and biological trait differences of stream macroinvertebrate communities between mediterranean and temperate regions: implications for future climatic scenarios

Streams in mediterranean regions have highly seasonal discharge patterns, with predictable torrential floods and severe droughts. In contrast, discharge is less variable in temperate regions and…

Effects of multi‐year droughts on fish assemblages of seasonally drying Mediterranean streams

Results supported the view that present-day droughts cause relatively small and transient changes to Mediterranean stream fish assemblages, however, longer and more severe droughting expected under altered future climates, may result in declines or local extinctions of the most sensitive species and their potential replacement by more resistant species.

Reciprocal fluxes of stream and riparian invertebrates in a coastal California basin with Mediterranean climate

Stream and riparian food webs are connected by reciprocal fluxes of invertebrates, and a growing number of studies demonstrate strong effects of these subsidies on consumers and food webs in both…
