Extreme events and river biodiversity under climate change - Nature Reviews Biodiversity Extreme events — such as floods, droughts and heatwaves — are escalating in frequency, magnitude and duration. This Review discusses the implications of these global changes for biodiversity in rivers...

Rivers aren’t just warming: they’re being reshaped by extreme events
Our new paper in @natrevbiodiv.nature.com shows how floods, droughts & heatwaves are pushing ecosystems past their limits, with recovery no longer guaranteed
We can build resilience, but it requires a shift in how we manage rivers

Our new paper in @natrevbiodiv.nature.com highlights the untapped potential of CMS for enhancing the conservation of migratory freshwater fishes, which are currently underrepresented in Appendices I & II of CMS. Check the full text here: rdcu.be/eXOlk

Global consequences of dam‐induced river fragmentation on diadromous migrants: a systematic review and meta‐analysis The global proliferation of dams has altered flow and sediment regimes in rivers, presenting a major threat to freshwater biodiversity. Diadromous species, such as fishes, decapod crustaceans and gas...

Recent (belated) paper on dam impacts in Biological Reviews! @camphilsoc.bsky.social

🐟🦐 Interested in how migratory fishes and decapod respond to fragmentation, dam removal, and fish pass installation?
